I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"No! I said no and it's no!"

Li Chen spoke to the Hibiscus Fairy in the system backpack with great determination. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from Li Chen's mind. After hearing this voice, Li Chen felt a little relieved in his heart.

"I am willing to lend a helping hand to Fairy Hibiscus! Rest assured, my friend Li Chen, we will do our utmost to buy you enough time to help you defeat the Ancestral Wood Witch!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's powerful, deep voice resounded like a bell in Li Chen's mind, startling him. Then, with a look of doubt on his face, Li Chen asked, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, can you really help me?!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva responded firmly, "When I was imprisoned, I deliberately left a trace of my consciousness outside. However, today, I have no other choice but to use this trace of consciousness to protect Fairy Hibiscus. I beg Fairy Hibiscus to find a way to control these trees and sever their connection with the Ancestral Wood Witch. This will prevent them from continuously supplying power to the Ancestral Wood Witch. In the meantime, I hope that friend Li Chen will use all his strength to fight the enemy and make sure to defeat the Ancestral Wood Witch!"

Upon hearing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's plan, Li Chen was inwardly amazed and thought to himself, "His reputation truly lives up to its reputation! This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is said to 'never attain Buddhahood until hell is empty,' has masterminded this battle with incredible skill!"

"In that case, I'll leave it to you! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!" Li Chen said with a firm look and an earnest tone, and released Fairy Hibiscus from the system backpack without hesitation.

"Hahahahaha..." A burst of arrogant and piercing laughter rang out. "Don't you know that I am the Ancestral Shaman of Nogi? All the flowers, plants, and trees in the world must obey me! And you found a little fairy who achieved enlightenment through the cultivation of hibiscus flowers to help you? You are simply courting death!"

The Wood Ancestral Shaman laughed arrogantly, his gaze fixed on the world. Then, a dazzling emerald green light burst out from his fingertips, sweeping towards the Hibiscus Fairy like a surging torrent. Just as the emerald green light was about to envelop the Hibiscus Fairy tightly, a miracle occurred—a layer of dazzling golden light suddenly appeared around the Hibiscus Fairy!

This mysterious and powerful golden light was like a dazzling torrent, standing in front like a rock-solid, unbreakable Great Wall of Steel, and fiercely repelling the emerald green light released by the Ancestral Witch of Wood with an overwhelming force!

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the Hibiscus Fairy whispering ancient and mysterious incantations, her hands dancing as she cast unfathomable spells. Using her transcendental powers, she controlled every blade of grass and tree across Jiuhua Mountain. And the dazzling golden light constantly surrounded the Hibiscus Fairy, like an indestructible barrier, firmly protecting her.

No matter how hard the Wood Ancestral Witch attacked, trying to invade the spiritual world of the Hibiscus Fairy, he could not break through the defense of this layer of golden light. As time passed, the Wood Ancestral Witch's power was gradually exhausted and began to dissipate bit by bit!

At this moment, the deep and solemn voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the crisp and pleasant shout of Hibiscus Fairy entered Li Chen's mind together: "Little friend Li Chen!" "Master!"

Li Chen came back to his senses as if waking from a dream. He instantly realized that this was a golden opportunity to launch a desperate counterattack! He raised the Jiutian Spear in his right hand and tightly grasped the Jiutian Staff in his left hand, and pounced towards the Ancestral Witch of Wood like a tiger descending from the mountain!

"Damn you little devil! Damn you Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! This Grandmaster Witch will not let you off lightly! Today, I will bury you in this vast sea of ​​poison, spreading its deadly venom for thousands of miles!" The Grandmaster Wood Witch's hair stood on end in a rage, unleashing his unparalleled divine power to awaken all the exotic flowers and plants buried deep underground. In an instant, the once peaceful and tranquil Golden Ridge of Divine Light was engulfed by the roiling poisonous waves, plunging it into chaos.

Fortunately, Li Chen had taken a poison-repellent pill beforehand, so the deadly toxins had no effect on him. He turned his gaze to Fairy Hibiscus and saw that she was still seated under the protection of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's divine consciousness, concentrating on casting spells, trying her best to prevent the Wood Ancestral Witch from absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding plants to restore her vitality!

"Ancestral Wood Witch! Die!" Li Chen shouted, his voice resonating through the heavens. The spear and staff in his hands shone together, emitting a dazzling red and gold light. With unstoppable momentum, he fiercely smashed into the Ancestral Wood Witch.

At this moment, the Ancestral Wood Witch's body was shaky, like a candle in the wind. Due to the extreme overdraft of his physical and magical powers, he became extremely weak, and his once powerful aura was dimmed. To make matters worse, due to the presence of Fairy Hibiscus and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he could no longer draw strength from the plants and trees of Jiuhua Mountain, which undoubtedly put him in a desperate situation.

However, the forced use of the poison that spread thousands of miles failed to cause any substantial damage to the enemy, which made the Wood Ancestral Witch unable to withstand Li Chen's fierce attack like a storm.

Despite being in such a difficult situation, the Wood Witch was still unwilling to surrender. With an indomitable fighting spirit burning in his heart, he decided to make one last attempt.

"All of you, die!" the Wood Ancestral Shaman roared, flapping his wings with all his might, transforming his feathers into countless razor-sharp arrows that rained down upon the crowd. These arrows, whistling and piercing with ferocious force, sliced ​​through the air, chilling the very air.

Facing the overwhelming rain of arrows, Li Chen showed no fear. He brandished his spear, and the tip of the spear drew a series of mysterious trajectories, instantly condensing into a huge protective light shield. The light shield was like an indestructible fortress, shooting down those sharp arrows one after another.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chen's entire body erupted in dazzling golden light, his hands tightly gripping the pair of mysterious axes. With a single swing of his arms, the axes slashed down like lightning towards the Wood Witch's wings! Wherever the axe blades passed, the void was torn apart, displaying unparalleled power.

With a crisp "crack," the Wood Ancestral Witch's iron-hard wings snapped apart! As the wings detached from its body, the Wood Ancestral Witch let out a piercing howl. These wings were an integral part of its being, and now, their severance was as excruciating as if all its bones were shattered!

Li Chen mercilessly unleashed his most powerful magical weapon, the Soul Annihilation Axe. Instantly, the Soul Annihilation Axe transformed into a towering, majestic peak, its imposing power unmatched, as if capable of shattering everything in the universe. With the force of a thunderbolt, carrying the determination and might of annihilation, the massive axe slashed down directly at the Wood Ancestral Witch's most vulnerable chest! Instantly, the Wood Ancestral Witch unleashed an earth-shattering roar that resounded through the heavens!

Immediately afterwards, Li Chen wielded the Heavenly Spear, unleashing Little White Dragon's unique skill—the Thunder Demon Art. Simultaneously, his other hand unleashed the Fire Demon Slash. These two powerful killing moves clashed together, fiercely smashing into the massive form of the Wood Ancestral Witch. The blow was so powerful that the Wood Ancestral Witch was powerless to resist, its massive body collapsing like a landslide!

At this point, the vast sea of ​​poison that filled the sky above Jiuhua Mountain finally gradually dissipated...!
