I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Li Chen's eyes widened, watching in disbelief as the Water Ancestral Shaman unhesitatingly used that terrifying column of water to completely obliterate the demonic leader, leaving not even a trace of remnant behind. A wave of emotion welled up in his heart. Who could have predicted that this Water Ancestral Shaman would be so cruel and ruthless, showing no mercy to even his loyal subordinates?

Among the Five Elements, water is considered the most special. An ancient saying goes, "The highest virtue is like water; it benefits all things without contention." However, when it comes to the Water Shaman, this concept seems completely subverted. Water, supposedly a symbol of kindness and gentleness, has become an extremely brutal entity. As the water deity, she is surprisingly a terrifying demon!

"You bunch of stinky bugs, all of you go to hell!"

As the Water Witch roared, she began to chant a spell. Instantly, Li Chen and his companions felt the seawater around them grow incredibly heavy, as if carrying a tremendous force. The water, like an invisible mountain, pressed down on them, suffocating them.

"hateful!"

Li Chen and the others roared in anger, but bright red blood was already flowing from their mouths and noses. Clearly, the blow had inflicted immense damage. The immense pressure, like a mountain crushing an egg, pressed down on their bodies, making every breath incredibly difficult. Even the slightest movement of their arms required immense effort.

Everyone felt an indescribable, terrifying pressure surge from all directions, as if it was about to crush their bones. They all knelt on the ground, trying to relieve the heavy pressure in this way, but found that the pressure did not ease, but instead became even heavier!

Li Chen's condition was relatively better, having successfully absorbed the spirits of two Ancestral Witches and enhanced his equipment. However, even so, facing the current situation, he felt helpless. If things continued like this, the Ancestral Witch of Water would easily defeat and kill them before they could even inflict any harm on her!

"Now I can't use any of my magic power or magic weapons. How can I deal with this predicament?" Li Chen pondered anxiously. The pressure exerted by the Water Ancestral Witch continued to increase, and everyone's bodies began to creak, which was clearly the sound of bones being crushed under the tremendous pressure!

At this moment, the surrounding water, under the powerful influence of the Water Witch, became incredibly turbulent and turbulent, as if the entire world were pressing down on them. The pressure on them was no less than that of a mountain pressing down on them! Everyone's face was pale, veins bulged on their foreheads, and beads of sweat streamed down their cheeks. They gritted their teeth, struggling to hold on, but as time passed, their bodies gradually reached their limit, unable to withstand the tremendous pressure, and scarlet blood gradually seeped out of their bodies.

The Water Witch observed the pain inflicted on the crowd, a sinister smile forming on her face. She opened her mouth and let out a terrifying laugh. The sound was like a demon whispering in one's ear, sending chills down one's spine.

Li Chen was terribly anxious, yet he still hadn't devised a suitable countermeasure to the Water Witch's attack. If this continued, everyone would be crushed into aquatic debris! Just as Li Chen and the others were sinking into despair, a faint green light emanated from Li Chen's backpack. Then, the overwhelming pressure began to weaken.

Everyone stood up, breathing heavily, their faces filled with relief. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy and confusion. What on earth could possibly withstand the attack of the Water Witch?

Li Chen hurriedly opened his backpack and searched, finally finding the object emitting green light. It was a string of Buddhist beads, the same Moyuan beads that the Dharma Protector Min Lao had given him before his death in Jiuhua Mountain. Li Chen held the beads tightly in his hand, his heart filled with gratitude.

The string of Buddhist beads flew into the air, suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and then split into five Buddhist beads. Four of them quickly grew larger and rushed towards Li Chen and others at lightning speed. The remaining one flew towards the Water Witch and directly entered her body.

Li Chen felt a powerful force surge into his body, instantly healing all his wounds and returning him to normal. He stood up in surprise and looked at the Hibiscus Fairy, the Snow Realm Divine Deer, and the Golden-haired Tiger. They all nodded, indicating that their injuries had healed.

"Hmph, a bunch of ants! I just let you linger. Now I'll show you my true strength!" The Water Ancestral Shaman roared, waving his arms, ready to unleash the same skill again, ready to wipe out Li Chen and the others in one fell swoop. However, to their surprise, this time there was no reaction! Li Chen and the others looked at each other, bewildered, wondering what had happened.

Although the specific reason was unknown, it was certain that the Water Witch could no longer mobilize the power of water to attack everyone. As a result, she could only rely on her own strength to fight Li Chen and others!

Li Chen's eyes were determined. He clenched the stick in his hands tightly, feeling a surge of power in his heart. He shouted loudly: "Start the counterattack now! Fire Demon Slash!"

As his words fell, he rushed towards the Water Witch like a flaming meteor. He swung the staff in his hand, weaving around the Water Witch's body with astonishing speed and power. Each swing of the staff was accompanied by blazing flames, forming a series of powerful slashes.

His movements were swift and powerful, as if fused with the flames. Eight powerful slashes landed continuously on the Water Witch, causing her unbearable pain. However, this was not the end. Li Chen concentrated all his strength on the end of the staff, his eyes gleaming with determination. He exhausted his last bit of strength and delivered his most powerful blow.

This strike embodied all of his firepower and his all-out determination. His attack, as fierce as a volcanic eruption, slammed down upon the Water Witch. The Water Witch felt an unprecedented threat, but she was unable to mobilize the power of water for an effective defense. At that moment, she was completely unable to mobilize the power of water and could only rely on her own strength to resist Li Chen's attack.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches are feared for their ability to mobilize various elements for counterattacks. These elements are not commonly found in the world, including gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, time, space, and weather. This ability makes them extremely powerful. However, the power of the Buddhist beads can actually block the Ancestral Witch of Water's ability to mobilize water, which puts her in a great predicament.

Fairy Hibiscus activated her magical skills, a mysterious force coursing through her. Suddenly, the space around her began to distort, and countless sharp petal knives rained down on the Water Witch. These petal knives flashed with cold light, carrying an endless killing intent that sent shudders down their spines.

The Water Witch's expression changed drastically at this sudden attack. She quickly cast a spell, trying to block the petal knives. However, there were too many of them, and they were moving too fast, for her to completely block them.

At this moment, the Golden Haired Howler spewed out a thousand fiery flames from its mouth, like a volcanic eruption, sweeping towards the Water Witch. The raging flames burned her body crazily, causing her unbearable pain.

At the same time, the Snow Realm Divine Deer, unwilling to be outdone, concentrated its power into its antlers. Their antlers shone with a faint blue light, and then, like a machine gun, they unleashed a barrage of snowflake bullets, firing at the Water Ancestral Witch. Each snowflake bullet contained a powerful energy, leaving the Water Ancestral Witch defenseless.

The Water Witch wailed loudly from the attacks of Li Chen and his group, wounds etched all over her body. Her armor was stained red with blood, yet she didn't give up, still struggling desperately.

At this moment, everything seemed settled. Li Chen and his group had the upper hand, and the Water Ancestral Witch's defeat seemed inevitable. However, they did not let their guard down, for they knew the battle was not over yet, and the Water Ancestral Witch might launch a final counterattack.
