I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Due to his injuries, Li Chen's reaction speed was much slower than before. Facing the enemy's attacks, he was unable to make effective evasive moves in time and was eventually hit by the hammers of those lava soldiers. These monsters were extremely powerful, and with one hammer, they hit Li Chen's head hard.

The force of this blow was so incredible that Li Chen felt dizzy and blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. His mind was in a state of confusion, and he could only feel a buzzing sound in his ears, as if countless bees were flying around.

To make matters worse, blazing flames ignited on Li Chen's body, burning more and more fiercely. Like a greedy devil, it continuously eroded Li Chen's body, burning his skin and causing him unbearable pain.

As time went by, Li Chen felt his physical strength being devoured bit by bit by the ruthless flames. With every passing second, he felt himself becoming weaker, as if the flame of life was gradually extinguished.

The monsters' attacks did not stop. The lava monsters then clasped their hands into giant hammers and smashed them towards Li Chen's head. The monkey monsters hiding behind the lava monsters continued to throw flaming darts at Li Chen!

Li Chen saw the monsters' attacks coming towards him at the same time. He had no choice but to endure the severe pain in his body and dodge the monsters' attacks with difficulty!

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his face was as pale as paper, but his eyes were still firm.

"The current situation is extremely critical. If I can't eliminate these monsters in time and adjust my condition, I'm afraid I will be killed by the monsters in the next levels!" Li Chen thought to himself.

He knew that time was running out and he had to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.

"Water—Xuanming Potian Formation!!!"

Li Chen gritted his teeth and chanted the spell, overdrawing his vitality and forcibly circulating his strength.

Six sharp ice swords appeared around him, emitting a bone-chilling cold air.

These six giant ice swords seemed to have life, circling and dancing in the air, and then attacked the demons together.

They were extremely fast, flashing through the air like lightning, carrying sharp sword energy and endless murderous intent.

The six giant ice swords seemed to have eyes and slashed at the demons with precision!

Each giant sword contains Li Chen's powerful force. Once it hits the target, it will cause huge damage.

As the giant sword swung, flashes of cold light flashed, seemingly tearing the entire space apart. The air seemed to freeze, and a cold breath filled the surroundings, making people feel a biting chill.

The lava demons had no time to dodge before being slain by the mighty ice sword. Their bodies were instantly frozen, shattering into countless ice cubes that scattered across the ground. The monkey demons, though they possessed some unusual evasion techniques, were powerless against such a powerful attack. Water wasn't so easily evaded, and even the monkey demons, possessing evasion techniques, were ultimately unable to escape death, falling one after another under the onslaught of the ice sword!

"puff!"

After the demons were defeated, Li Chen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper. His body trembled, and then he fell to his knees. The power of the water god Gonggong was too much for him. Using it in this situation, he felt his vitality rapidly draining away.

However, in order to save his life in the situation just now, he had to take the risk. At this moment, he felt as if his body was about to collapse, and all the bones in his body were as if they were crushed, causing unbearable pain.

"Damn monsters!" Li Chen cursed inwardly, a trace of helplessness and fatigue on his face. Although he had successfully eliminated those abominable monsters, his body had long since been overwhelmed by the strain. He knew that his strength was running low and he urgently needed rest and recovery.

Li Chen coughed lightly, a trace of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. He gripped his spear tightly, slowly stood up, and prepared to descend the mountain. However, when he looked up, the scene before him shocked him—the mountain path that had led him up the mountain was completely broken, as if it had been abruptly severed by some force.

His eyes widened, his face instantly turning pale. It turned out that these cunning monsters had already planned everything when he ascended the mountain, quietly cutting off his escape route. This meant that reinforcements from the mountain below would be unable to arrive in time, and if he were injured, he would be unable to return to the village for shelter.

The two sides of this broken road were filled with boiling lava, and Li Chen couldn't fly over it with the remaining physical strength and magic power. He felt a surge of despair in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed by his firm will.

Li Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm his fear and anger. He knew now was not the time to complain; he had to find a way to deal with this desperate situation. He thought about how to use his surroundings to protect himself while searching for a way out of this predicament.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh erupted from behind Li Chen. It sounded like a curse from an evil spirit, startling him. He quickly turned around and saw a group of monsters slowly approaching him, their eyes gleaming with triumph, as if they had seen an impending victory.

"Haha, you humans are so stupid! Do you think you can easily escape from our clutches?" The leading monkey demon said with contempt and disdain in his tone. Behind him were countless lava demons and little monkey demons, who walked towards Li Chen in unison like an army.

Li Chen's eyes widened, glaring at the group of monsters in anger. He tried to grip his spear tightly, ready for a life-or-death battle. However, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and his body was stretched to its limit. But his eyes remained firm and resolute, filled with indomitable courage.

"Boy, you must be running out of energy now, right? Today is the day you die here!!!" The monkey demon sneered, wiped the sharp claws in his hands, and said to Li Chen ferociously.

Li Chen gritted his teeth and glared at the group of monsters before him. He knew the situation was extremely dangerous, but he would never give up easily. He gripped his spear tightly, ready to fight these monsters to the death, to fight for his life.

"Hehe..." The little monkey demon looked at Li Chen, a cruel sneer on his face. His eyes, gleaming with cold light, revealed a hint of amusement, as if he was full of anticipation for what was about to happen. Then, he raised his gleaming claws and, without hesitation, grabbed Li Chen's face fiercely.

Li Chen's eyes widened as he tried to dodge the fatal blow. However, due to his severe injuries, his movements became extremely slow, and he was unable to avoid the ferocious attack in time. Just as he realized the danger, the sharp claws had already mercilessly scratched his cheek.

"Puff!" With a slight sound, blood gushed out of the wound like a fountain, instantly staining Li Chen's face red. A wave of pain surged, almost unbearable. But he gritted his teeth, suppressing a scream. He knew clearly that retreating at this moment would only lead to his own irretrievable fate.

Li Chen cursed inwardly, trying to muster his magic power to launch a counterattack. However, he found that his physical strength and magic power had long been exhausted in the battle, and now he could hardly muster even the slightest resistance. He sighed helplessly, a feeling of despair welling up in his heart. Is this really going to end here?
