I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Chapter 386 Take the sky ship to Beijuluzhou!

After a sumptuous and delicious meal, Li Chen and his party were satisfied and boarded a magnificent sky ship with Nezha the Third Prince, ready to head towards Beijuluzhou.

This celestial ship is one of the most precious treasures in the Heavenly Court, with only twenty-four of these massive vessels in the entire Heavenly Court. Whenever there is a major event, such as a tour of the land, inspecting the people, fighting against enemies, or suppressing rebellions, the Jade Emperor carefully selects and assigns his most trusted ministers to travel aboard these celestial ships.

This time, Nezha only brought a few heavenly soldiers who were in charge of the flight of the heavenly ship, and no one else. After all, he didn't want his relaxed and comfortable atmosphere to be disturbed again!

At this moment, Nezha sat in the spacious and comfortable cabin and couldn't help but complain to Li Chen beside him: "Brother Li Chen, thank you so much for choosing me this time! Sigh, I'm really fed up with all the red tape and outdated customs in this heavenly palace. This rule and that rule, they control people so tightly, leaving no freedom at all, it really makes me uncomfortable!"

Normally, Nezha was naturally lively and uninhibited, but he often felt oppressed and constrained by the various strict rules and regulations of the Heavenly Court. Now that he could temporarily break free from these constraints, he naturally felt much more relaxed and happy.

Li Chen smiled at Nezha, who looked distressed, and comforted him: "Haha, don't worry, Brother Nezha. Now that you are out, just relax. We still have a long way to go to Beijuluzhou. Come on, let's have a drink first!" As he said, he raised the exquisite wine glass in his hand high and gestured to Nezha to toast.

Seeing this, Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Scorpion who were sitting on the other side hurriedly stood up. One of them held a huge wine barrel, walked carefully to the two men, and gently poured the mellow wine into their cups.

For a moment, the cabin was filled with the rich aroma of wine and the sound of laughter. Everyone enjoyed the fine wine and delicious food while chatting about world affairs, feeling very happy.

"Come on, show your martial arts to the Third Prince. From now on, we will be friends on the same front!"

Li Chen gestured to Fairy Hibiscus and the others to demonstrate their strength to Nezha. Although he was currently enjoying himself with Nezha the Third Prince, he was very serious about defeating the Ancestral Witch. After all, the remaining three Ancestral Witches were no pushovers. His Time, Space, and Weather abilities should be much stronger than those of the other Ancestral Witches!

"Yes!"

The women responded in unison, their voices clear and resounding, seemingly piercing the heavens. Then, they quickly sprang into action, dividing into pre-arranged groups and beginning to battle. Each one was eager to demonstrate their superior martial arts skills.

Fairy Hibiscus floated gracefully toward the center of the arena. Opposite her stood the fearsome Fire-Eating Scorpion. She wielded a thorny, emerald green whip like a venomous snake on the hunt, while the Fire-Eating Scorpion wielded its massive, sharp pincers with a menacing aura.

Elsewhere, the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Hundred Immortal Butterfly stood facing each other. The Nine-Tailed Fox clutched a glazed orb, its nine furry tails swaying gracefully in the air, exuding a captivating charm; the Hundred Immortal Butterfly flapped its colorful wings, resembling a blooming flower.

The sisters Ao Xue and Ao Shuang were no match for each other, refusing to give in, their swords drawn. Ao Xue held a gleaming sword, her eyes sharp; Ao Shuang held a pair of exceptionally sharp daggers, ready to strike at Ao Xue at all times.

At the same time, the thousand-year-old bat demon also found Ao Xue, and a fierce battle was about to begin. Ao Shuang's opponent was Li Zhaohuang, a mysterious woman who exuded a cold aura that made people dare not approach easily.

Just when everyone was fighting to a standstill, Li Chen shouted loudly: "Everyone, hold back a little and don't damage the sky ship!" He looked at the fierce battle scene in front of him with a worried look on his face, fearing that this precious sky ship would suffer any damage.

However, Nezha shouted nonchalantly: "Oh, it doesn't matter! Even if it is damaged, it will be the Jade Emperor's fault! Everyone, give it your all! Let this prince see your true strength!" As he said that, he rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

Seeing this, Li Chen hurriedly walked to Nezha and persuaded him earnestly: "Nezha, you can't say that! We are the ones using this sky ship now. If it is really broken, we will have nowhere to sit!" He knew very well that Nezha was a fearless guy, especially his unique combination of 97 pounds of rebellious bones and 3 pounds of lotus root powder, which was even more of a headache.

"Fine!"

Nezha nodded, agreeing with Li Chen's point of view. He then quickly sat back, crossed his legs, and watched the women demonstrate their abilities with great interest.

To prevent the powerful forces generated by the women's fierce battle from damaging the skyship, Li Chen, not wanting to be complacent, deliberately unleashed his magical powers, unleashing a specially customized protective shield. This shield, shimmering with a mysterious light, enveloped the entire arena like an indestructible shield. Thus, even if the women unleashed their full might in the competition, their power could not escape, ensuring the safety of the skyship.

The women exchanged glances before unsheathing their weapons. Blades flashed and clashed, shouts of killing echoed. They exchanged blows, their moves deft and fierce, their coordination seamless, a splendid contest unfolding like flowing water. After dozens of rounds, neither side was sure of victory, but both had showcased their martial prowess to the fullest.

After a short pause, the women finished their moves, landed lightly on the ground, bowed to Li Chen and Nezha the Third Prince, and then retreated in an orderly manner to the side to rest and recuperate.

After witnessing this wonderful duel, Nezha couldn't help but applaud: "Brother Li Chen, these women you found are all extraordinary and have amazing fighting power! It can be said that women are as good as men. I admire them! I have to say that it is because of your unique vision that you can recruit such outstanding talents!" His words were full of praise and admiration for Li Chen's ability to judge people.

"Nezha the Third Prince! You're so kind! You're so kind!"

Li Chen quickly bowed, a humble and satisfied smile on his face, and saluted Nezha. At this moment, a sudden sound broke the silence.

All I could hear was the sound of rapid footsteps outside the door, the sound like the beating of war drums, deafening. At the same time, the footsteps were accompanied by a series of creepy and strange roars, like the roars of evil spirits from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder.

"Third Prince, something terrible has happened! There's a massive, inky black cloud ahead, like an insurmountable mountain, completely blocking our way forward and backward!"

A heavenly soldier rushed in in a panic, panting and with a look of terror on his face. While shouting loudly, he knelt on one knee to report the current emergency to Li Chen and Nezha.

However, before the celestial soldier could finish his words, the surrounding environment suddenly changed dramatically. A howling wind rose up, like a ferocious beast, whipping up a cloud of dust and sand, obscuring the sky and the sun. Then, bean-sized raindrops came pouring down. These drops carried a biting chill, and the pain of hitting people was so severe that it gnawed at their bones. It was obvious that this was not ordinary rain, but rather contained a highly toxic substance.

Even more terrifying was the intermittent flashes of dazzling lightning within the rolling dark clouds, accompanied by roaring thunder that pierced the eardrums. Where the lightning and thunder intersected, a massive, blurry figure could be vaguely seen, emanating an endless aura of oppression and terror that terrified everyone.
