I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Chapter 408: The pollution of the power of the ancient witch, the inevitable war! (1)

Li Chen slowly pushed open the heavy door of the igloo. With every step, he could almost hear the gentle crunching of the snow beneath his feet. His gaze traversed the dancing snowflakes, finally settling on the graceful figure standing proudly in the world of ice and snow.

From afar, the woman appeared draped in a gorgeous ice-blue dress, its hem gently swaying in the wind like ice crystals. Behind her, two emerald green sleeves snaked around her like ethereal green snakes, forming a stark contrast to the icy aura emanating from her.

As the distance gradually closed, Li Chen was able to see her stunning face more clearly. Her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as mutton-fat jade, smooth and soft, without a single flaw. The exposed skin shimmered in the cold air with a charming luster that made people fall in love with it.

Looking at her aloof face, it was as delicate as a falling winter snowflake, every line so flawless, as if it were a work of art meticulously crafted by heaven. Her long, snow-white hair cascaded down behind her, gently swaying in the breeze, adding a touch of otherworldly elegance to her.

At this moment, her crystal clear jade hands were tightly gripping an antique seven-stringed pipa. The strings trembled slightly under the plucking of her fingers, as if a heart-stirring melody would be played at any time.

"Could this be the legendary Jade Maiden of Qingxiao?"

Li Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself. The person before him, compared to his image in the game, was even more aloof and ethereal, making people only dare to admire him from afar and not easily desecrate him.

However, at this moment, the Qingxiao Jade Girl who had been standing still suddenly raised her eyebrows, opened her beautiful eyes wide, and a cold murderous intent instantly burst out from her.

"You are the running dog sent by the Heavenly Court?! Die!!!"

With a roar of anger, she suddenly swung her sleeves. The sleeves danced rapidly in the air, like a ferocious venomous snake baring its fangs, and lashed out at Li Chen with lightning speed.

Li Chen's eyes widened in shock as he gazed at the seemingly aloof and dignified Qingxiao Jade Girl before him. He had never imagined she would suddenly and savagely attack him. The fierce attack came like a violent storm, causing Li Chen's heart to tense. Fortunately, he was a seasoned warrior with extremely fast reflexes. With a flick of his foot, he dodged the whistling sleeve attack with the swiftness of a ghost.

"Go to hell! Go to hell! Running dog of heaven!!!"

Accompanied by a sharp, piercing roar, the Jade Maiden of Blue Sky's face was now horrific, completely devoid of the noble temperament and dignified demeanor that she once possessed as the Frost and Snow Goddess of the Celestial Realm. Her once beautiful face was distorted by anger, looking like a mad and ferocious beast, a chilling sight.

The Jade Maiden Qingxiao rapidly plucked the delicate seven-stringed pipa in her jade hands. As her fingertips danced, waves of violent power erupted from the strings. In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy snow fell in sheets, followed by fist-sized hailstones that rained down like raindrops. A biting cold wind roared across the land at an unprecedented speed.

Faced with the sudden inclement weather and intensive attacks, Li Chen remained unfazed. He took a deep breath, summoned the powerful magical power within him, and simultaneously opened his all-seeing fiery eyes, gazing intently at the Jade Maiden of Blue Sky.

Through the blazing golden light, he suddenly discovered that Qingxiao Jade Girl's eyes had turned extremely red, as if eroded by an evil force. Her whole body exuded a strong murderous aura, and she was obviously controlled by someone or something.

"She is actually under the control of the Weather Witch!"

Li Chen's eyes widened, his mind grappling with disbelief. He knew only one explanation made sense: she was being controlled by the mysterious and powerful Weather Witch! However, he couldn't understand why the Weather Witch was controlling her.

At this moment, the fierce attack like a raging wave did not give Li Chen any chance to breathe and think deeply about this problem. He saw the increasingly cold and biting blizzard in front of him, sweeping over with overwhelming force, as if to swallow everything.

Li Chen didn't dare hesitate for a moment, immediately unleashing the full power of the Fire Witch hidden within him. Instantly, the blazing Zhurong True Fire erupted from his body, quickly coalescing into an impenetrable shield. Like a blazing sun, it forcibly blocked the blizzard, preventing it from even approaching him, thus preventing further damage.

"Fairy Hibiscus and everyone else, quickly hide in this snow house and rest! I'll handle this situation. You've already expended too much energy fighting the enemy."

While Li Chen was struggling to resist the blizzard, he used his unique secret method to transmit a message to Fairy Hibiscus and the others. Upon hearing this, Fairy Hibiscus and the others immediately went into the snow house and began to recuperate in order to quickly recover their lost strength.

Meanwhile, Nezha the Third Prince, riding his Wind Fire Wheel, raced to Li Chen's side like lightning. Holding a flaming spear, he looked heroic and radiated an unparalleled aura. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Chen, facing the enemy together.

"Brother Nezha, why don't you rest in that warm snow house?" Li Chen asked softly, his face etched with concern. Nezha had just gained the power of the Ancestral Witch, and it was still unstable and difficult to control. Li Chen was truly concerned about what might happen to Nezha if he were to rush into the frenzy of battle.

Hearing Li Chen's question, Nezha smiled slightly, revealing two cute little fangs, and responded: "Brother Li Chen, I have finally obtained this powerful power of the ancestor witch. If I don't practice while the iron is hot, wouldn't it be a waste of such an opportunity? Moreover, I also want to take this opportunity to hone our skills with you and enhance our mutual understanding!" After that, Nezha looked at Li Chen firmly, his eyes full of excitement and eagerness to try.

Then, as if in sync, Nezha and Li Chen reached into their arms, each pulling out their prized weapon. Nezha held a flaming spear, its blade gleaming with blazing flames; Li Chen gripped an impenetrably sharp sword, its blade gleaming with a chilling cold light. The two stood side by side, ready to face the Jade Maiden of the Azure Sky.

At that moment, the Jade Maiden of Qingxiao across from them opened her red lips and muttered something. Instantly, a chill surged through her body, and she summoned several incredibly sharp, bone-chilling ice spears from thin air. Like arrows shot from a bow, these spears hurtled towards Li Chen and Nezha with lightning speed.

Facing this sudden and fierce attack, Li Chen showed no fear. He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy surged like a tide. At the same time, a dazzling fiery red light began to blaze from his body, as if he were engulfed in a blazing flame.

The next moment, Li Chen's eyes flew open, and he roared, "Fire—Purgatory Fire Line!" With his roar, the fiery red light that had been lingering on his body instantly converged into his mouth like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea. Then, Li Chen opened his mouth and blasted out a bowl-thick, incomparably blazing Zhurong True Fire line.

This line of Zhurong True Fire was like a roaring fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it rushed towards the flying ice spear. As soon as the two came into contact, a burst of "chi chi" sound was heard, and the ice spear quickly melted, turning into wisps of water vapor and dissipating in the air.

The Zhurong True Fire line continued to surge forward, carrying a terrifying aura of devastating destruction as it swept towards the Jade Maiden of Azure Sky. However, the Jade Maiden of Azure Sky didn't retreat or waver in the slightest. She stood there like an iceberg that had remained unshaken for millions of years!
