I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Fire Demon Slash!!"

With a roar of anger, Li Chen leaped into the air like lightning, holding up the Moyuan Stick with both hands, and delivered a powerful blow to Qiongqi with all his might! In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, and its momentum was like a rainbow piercing the sun. This shocking blow, with unparalleled power, blasted straight towards Qiongqi!

When the final blow of the Fire Demon Slash landed heavily on Qiongqi, only a muffled "puff" sound was heard, and Qiongqi's huge body trembled violently. Then, scarlet blood gushed out of its mouth, nose, eyes, and even the pores all over its body, like a fountain, flowing everywhere like a flood that broke through the dam, and the blood was extremely pungent!

Seeing Qiongqi suffering heavy damage and about to fall, Li Chen couldn't help but feel happy and secretly relieved. However, at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred - Tongtian Sect Master, who was originally riding on Qiongqi's back, suddenly spoke:

"Don't be too happy too soon, visitor from another world! Do you think you can easily defeat Qiongqi like this? Let me tell you, it's not that easy!"

Before he finished speaking, Tongtian Patriarch waved his arm, and a magic ball flashing with a strange black light flew out of his hand and instantly sank into Qiongqi's body. In an instant, a sudden change occurred!

The already dying Qiongqi suddenly seemed to be infused with a powerful vitality. It raised its head to the sky and let out a deafening roar, as loud as thunder! Not only that, Qiongqi's claws became sharper and more ferocious, and its fangs became longer and thicker, emitting a heart-pounding cold light. Its originally blood-red eyes were now bloodshot, staring at Li Chen and Fairy Furong with endless murderous intent.

"What? Damn it!" Li Chen was shocked upon seeing this, and couldn't help but curse inwardly. He had never imagined that Tongtian Patriarch would be so despicable and shameless. Seeing that he was no match for him, he didn't hesitate to transfer mana to his subordinates, forcibly increasing their strength. He was simply unscrupulous!

In reality, all of this was within everyone's expectations. Recalling the thrilling Conferred Gods Battle, Tongtian Patriarch failed to rescue his disciples in time. As a result, despite their immense strength, many of his disciples were unable to withstand the fierce attack launched by the two sects and the saints of the Western sects, ultimately suffering heavy casualties.

"Can such an attack alone instill fear in me?" Li Chen stood firmly on the ground, quickly gathering his breath, and shouted. Then, without hesitation, he swung his club again, striking Qiongqi's head fiercely. Seeing this, Qiongqi was furious, raising his head to the sky and roaring so loudly that it hurt his eardrums. Li Chen could not withstand this overwhelming force and was forced to retreat repeatedly!

At this critical moment, a deafening roar was heard. It was Qiongqi who raised his head to the heavens and uttered a mysterious and ancient spell. In an instant, the sky changed color, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Five enormous meteorites, gleaming with purple-black flames, streaked across the sky like shooting stars, rushing towards Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus!

Li Chen didn't dare to delay. He instantly soared into the air, brandishing his Moyuan stick and lashing out with all his might at the first meteorite to fall. With a resounding "bang," the meteorite shattered. But unexpectedly, after the first meteorite shattered, a second one suddenly crashed into Li Chen's body without warning! Immediately afterwards, the third, fourth, and fifth meteorites followed like a torrential rain, bombarding Li Chen continuously!

Li Chen, severely wounded, endured the excruciating pain and struggled to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then, gritting his teeth, he staggered to his feet from the shambles. However, at this moment, his entire body was still engulfed in the strange and ferocious purple-black flames, as if threatening to devour him completely.

"Master, how about we try to merge?" Fairy Hibiscus asked softly, looking at Li Chen, who was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, her heart filled with sorrow and pity. She knew that if Li Chen hadn't just stepped forward without hesitation, she would probably be the one enduring such pain and torture.

"Let's talk about fusion after the battle!" Li Chen's voice was tinged with irritation. He had clearly misunderstood the meaning of Fairy Hibiscus's words. In his opinion, the so-called "fusion" was nothing more than the intimate behavior between men and women, but in reality, Fairy Hibiscus was talking about something completely different.

She wanted to dedicate all her strength to merge with Li Chen, allowing him to unleash a hundred times more combat power than usual! This wasn't just a combination in the ordinary sense, but an ultimate sacrifice and dedication.

"Master, please don't misunderstand me. I mean to offer you all my strength to inspire even greater combat power!" Fairy Hibiscus hurriedly explained. Previously, she hadn't possessed such an ability. However, after successfully absorbing the essence of the Wood Ancestral Witch and the inner elixir of her pet's evolution, this miraculous skill emerged—she could now offer all her own strength to her master, Li Chen, granting him unparalleled power.

"What will you do if I absorb your power? You won't die, right?" Li Chen asked worriedly.

He knew very well that powerful strength has always been what everyone dreams of, but if in the pursuit of power, even relatives and friends need to be abandoned, then what is the meaning of this power?

"Master, please don't worry. As long as you can defeat the powerful enemy and win the final victory, I will be safe; if you unfortunately lose, then I will go to the underworld with you!" Fairy Hibiscus responded in an unwavering tone, and then turned into countless green and pink light spots, floating into Li Chen's body like stardust.

Instantly, Li Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. His originally hideous wounds began to heal at an astonishing speed. The flames on his body were extinguished as he merged with the Hibiscus Fairy! His own strength was even more powerful and majestic, as if he had been reborn!

At this moment, Li Chen had mixed feelings: on the one hand, he deeply admired and appreciated the selfless dedication of Fairy Furong; on the other hand, he secretly made up his mind not to let down this deep friendship and to go all out to defeat the enemy, survive, and protect the people around him.

Qiongqi roared, baring its fangs and claws before lunging at Li Chen again. However, Li Chen had already merged with Fairy Hibiscus, his strength greatly increased. With lightning-fast agility, he easily dodged Qiongqi's fierce attack.

Then, Li Chen waved his hand, and three crystal clear petals appeared out of thin air. He flicked his wrist and shot the three petals towards Qiongqi like meteors!

In an instant, the three petals quickly transformed into three sharp flying knives in mid-air, flashing with cold light. With astonishing speed, they went straight for Qiongqi's vital point - the throat! Qiongqi sensed the danger and dodged desperately, but was still cut open by one of the flying knives.

Suddenly, a stream of purple-black blood gushed out, splashing onto the ground. Three shocking, blood-red scars, deep enough to reveal the bone, were left on Qiongqi's neck. Clearly, these petals contained a deadly poison!

Unexpectedly, the poison took effect quickly, and Qiongqi's body suddenly caught fire, with flames shooting up into the sky. It roared in pain and tried to put out the flames on its body, but the fire became more and more fierce and could not be contained.
