I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Damn it! How could Tongtian Patriarch be so powerful?!"

Li Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. He simply couldn't imagine Tongtian Patriarch's power reaching such a level, far exceeding his expectations. Just now, they and Fairy Hibiscus had fought with all their might, a combined attack that had barely managed to severely injure the ferocious beast, Qiongqi. But who could have imagined that such a powerful attack would be child's play before Tongtian Patriarch? In the blink of an eye, Qiongqi had recovered as before.

Fortunately, Master Tongtian did not intend to kill himself and Fairy Furong, otherwise, with his current combat power, even if he had more than a hundred lives, they would not be enough for him to kill!

After a long time, Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus finally recovered slowly.

"Master, are you alright?" Fairy Hibiscus approached with an anxious look on her face, carefully helping Li Chen to his feet. She was deeply concerned that this tragic defeat would devastate Li Chen, forcing him to lose the courage to continue fighting. However, her anxiety was clearly excessive. Throughout his journey, Li Chen had witnessed countless families torn apart and displaced, and countless innocent lives tragically slain by demonic forces. Those tragic scenes, like sharp thorns, pierced his heart. Every time he recalled these horrific scenes, the piercing pain only made him more determined to defeat evil.

"Fairy Furong, have you recovered? If so, let's rush to rescue Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!" Li Chen gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming with determination. Although he had been defeated by Tongtian Patriarch, everything still had to proceed according to plan. Li Chen's defeat by Tongtian Patriarch did not mean he would be defeated by Tongtian Patriarch again in the future!

Li Chen looked at the Hibiscus Fairy who was worried about him and said it in a firm tone. After hearing Li Chen's answer, a smile as bright as a flower appeared on the Hibiscus Fairy's face and she nodded, then followed Li Chen to rescue Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The prison where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is imprisoned is hidden deep in the back mountains of Jiuhua Mountain. Here, there are overlapping peaks, towering ancient trees, gurgling streams, singing birds and fragrant flowers. It is so beautiful that being in it makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if they have entered a paradise.

However, this peaceful and tranquil place is the forbidden ground where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is imprisoned, and is closely guarded by a large number of demon soldiers! Li Chen and Fairy Furong have gone through untold hardships to reach the back of Mount Jiuhua. The mountain is steep, the road is bumpy, and the clouds and mist shroud the area, exuding an air of mystery and solemnity.

The two men advanced with trepidation, taking each step cautiously and arduously, finally finding the cell where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was imprisoned in a hidden cave. The scene before them stunned them: Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's body was tightly entangled in countless serpentine-like emerald green vines. These vines glowed with a strange, subtle light and wriggled endlessly as if possessing a spirit.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sat in the center, a dazzling golden light emanating from his body. He closed his eyes tightly, exerting all his magical powers, trying to break through the sturdy seal. However, the vines were as strong as steel, and no matter how hard Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva tried, he could not break them.

Li Chen felt a surge of compassion when he saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suffering so much. He stepped forward, wanting to use his own strength to help Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva break free from his bondage.

"Master, be careful!" At this moment, Fairy Hibiscus suddenly cried out. A poisonous dart had flown from nowhere, heading straight for Li Chen. Fortunately, Fairy Hibiscus reacted quickly and shot it down in time, averting a crisis.

Li Chen glanced at the smoking dart on the ground with a lingering fear, secretly thanking himself for not acting rashly. He looked at Fairy Hibiscus with gratitude and nodded, indicating that he understood her good intentions.

"Hahahahahaha! You brats, how dare you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​Jiuhua Mountain? You are truly audacious!" Accompanied by this furious shout, a chilling laugh suddenly emanated from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's seal. Immediately afterwards, the vine seal, once tightly wrapped around Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, began to rapidly wriggle as if possessed of life, eventually transforming into a mighty warrior clad in emerald green armor and wielding a turquoise sword.

"I never expected the Wood Ancestral Witch's sealing technique to be so magical, capable of transforming into a human form!" Li Chen stared in astonishment at the mysterious warrior holding a sharp blade. Meanwhile, a horde of hideous, venomous demons and monsters of various shapes and forms followed closely behind him, each wielding an extremely sharp weapon and staring at Li Chen with a fierce gaze.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Li Chen showed no fear. Instead, he shouted, "The Wood Ancestral Witch has been defeated by us. If you understand the situation, quickly lay down your weapons and surrender, and you may still be able to save your lives!" His voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the forbidden area, carrying an unquestionable majesty. As he spoke, he fixed his gaze firmly on the armored warrior holding the sword, his eyes gleaming with determination and courage.

The armored warrior ignored Li Chen and slowly raised his sword, which gleamed with cold light, as if he would launch a fierce attack on Li Chen in the next moment. However, at the same time, the group of ferocious and vicious monsters under his command panicked upon hearing that the Wood Witch had been defeated, and some even began to flee.

The armored warrior raised his razor-sharp sword without hesitation, but his target wasn't Li Chen or Fairy Hibiscus, but his desperately fleeing subordinates. The demons were terrified, letting out shrill screams. However, the armored warrior showed no mercy. He swung his sword like a madman, mercilessly slashing at the demons attempting to escape.

Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus stared at the scene in astonishment, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief. The armored warrior, transformed by the powerful seal of the Wood Witch, could be so cruel and violent. In the blink of an eye, all the demons that tried to escape were killed by the bloody sword!

The armored warrior, his face filled with rage, roared deafeningly, and lunged at Li Chen like a mad beast! However, just as he was about to reach Li Chen, the golden spear in Li Chen's hand trembled, instantly transforming into a streak of golden lightning that pierced the armored warrior's chest.

Instantly, the golden spear collided with the armor, sending forth a dazzling burst of sparks. Li Chen seized the opportunity to continuously channel the immense power of the Golden Ancestral Witch through the tip of his spear into the armored warrior's body. With the continued infusion of power, the armored warrior's previously impenetrable body began to gradually warp and deform, finally exploding with a bang, disintegrating into countless fragments that flew everywhere!

At this point, the invincible armored warrior was completely annihilated! Following his disappearance, the remaining seal cast by the Wood Ancestral Witch became fragile, unable to withstand the combined might of Li Chen, Fairy Hibiscus, and the trapped Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Thus, through internal and external attacks and the concerted efforts of everyone, the Wood Ancestral Witch's seal was finally breached.

"Hello, visitor from another world, welcome, thank you for saving me!"

Listening to the sincere and powerful thanks from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, a bright smile appeared on Li Chen's face. He had finally rescued Jiuhua Mountain from the shroud of the Wood Ancestral Witch!
