Chapter 340: Li Chen's furious battle with the golden-winged Roc! (End)

The strong poisonous gas swooped down on the body of the Golden-winged Roc like a swarm of hungry locusts, frantically corroding every inch of its skin and every bone.

Although the Golden-Winged Roc tried its best to resist the horrible poison gas, as time went by, its resistance gradually melted and disintegrated like ice and snow scorched by the scorching sun.

However, just as the Golden-Winged Roc's power was about to be exhausted, Li Chen, who had been closely observing the battle, keenly perceived that within the Golden-Winged Roc's body was a unique and powerful force. This force was like a bright light in the darkness, weak but extremely dazzling, tenaciously fighting a desperate battle against the invading poisonous gas.

It turned out that this mysterious power came from the gift of the Ancestral Witch of Lightning. At this moment, several dazzling lightning bolts suddenly streaked across the sky, accurately hitting the thick vines that tightly bound the Golden-Winged Roc.

Instantly, electricity leaped and crisscrossed the vines, making crackling sounds. Under the influence of the electric shock, the Golden-Winged Dapeng's weakened body seemed to have a moment to breathe, and gradually regained some strength.

Seizing this brief opportunity, the Golden-Winged Roc unhesitatingly mobilized the powerful force within it, emanating from the Ancestral Shaman of Lightning. It closed its eyes, concentrated its mind, and channeled all its energy. A moment later, dazzling bolts of lightning shot forth from its wings and body, slashing fiercely at the offending vines.

Facing the Golden-Winged Dapeng's counterattack, Li Chen sneered, "Humph, you really don't know what you can do! You only possess the meager power bestowed by the Ancestral Shaman of Lightning, but what about me? I have combined the power of eight Ancestral Shamans! Today, I will let you witness my true strength - Fire - Purgatory Fire Line!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Chen's entire body erupted in a fiery crimson light. This light was so intense it seemed as if it would incinerate the entire world. In the blink of an eye, the crimson light from his entire body converged into Li Chen's mouth like rivers flowing into the sea. Then, with a resounding whoosh, a massive fiery snake erupted from his mouth.

The fire snake bared its fangs and claws, emitting a terrifying heat. Wherever it passed, the air was instantly ignited, forming a sea of ​​fire. With lightning speed, it rushed towards the vines wrapped around the golden-winged roc, instantly engulfing it in the blazing flames.

The golden-winged Roc was in great pain under the burning flames. Among the five elements, wood produces fire, so the fire burned more fiercely in this situation.

"Li Chen, you... you actually dared to kill me!"

At this moment, the once arrogant and domineering Garuda could no longer maintain its usual arrogance and arrogance in this critical moment of life and death. Its eyes widened, revealing a deep fear. You know, since its birth, no one has ever dared to threaten its life so blatantly.

The reason why this golden-winged roc can run rampant is, firstly, due to his unfathomable magical power, and secondly, due to his formidable and powerful backing. Because of this, he has always been able to call the wind and rain, and no one dares to provoke him easily.

However, facing the notorious golden-winged Roc, Li Chen remained calm and responded calmly: "Hmph, why not? You are just a monster. Even if I kill you, what can I do?" When saying this, Li Chen's tone was understated, as if the one standing in front of him was not some peerless ferocious beast, but just an ordinary little monster.

Hearing Li Chen's words, the Golden-Winged Dapeng's heart sank. It had never expected that the other party would look down on it so much. Then, it roared at the top of its lungs, "You can't kill me! I'm the uncle of the Tathagata Buddha! If you kill me, not only will the Tathagata Buddha be completely enraged, but even my mother, the Phoenix, will never let you go!"

At this moment, the Golden Winged Dapeng looked somewhat desperate, but more of a hysterical rage. While desperately begging Li Chen to spare his life, he also tried to intimidate him with the Tathagata Buddha and the Phoenix, hoping to frighten Li Chen into letting him go.

"Hmph, you are such a wicked man, you have killed so many innocent lives! When those people you brutally killed begged for mercy, did you ever have an ounce of mercy in your heart? Did you ever show mercy and spare their lives?" Li Chen's face was stern, with a mocking sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he scolded mercilessly.

You must know that the Golden-Winged Roc before you is utterly sinful, having killed countless lives and committed countless sins. However, because it has the backing of Tathagata Buddha and its mother is the supremely noble Phoenix, the leader of all birds, it has repeatedly escaped due punishment. However, justice is clear, and retribution is inevitable. Today, the Golden-Winged Roc has finally run into the tough guy that is Li Chen.

At this moment, Li Chen had already made up his mind to let this evil monster be executed on the spot. Thinking of this, Li Chen sneered again and waved his right hand lightly: "Wind!"

In an instant, several fierce gusts of wind roared in, like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, charging straight at the blazing Zhurong True Fire. The already fierce Zhurong True Fire, fueled by this gust of wind, intensified its intensity, instantly becoming even more intense. The flames leaped wildly, as if threatening to engulf the entire world.

The Golden-Winged Roc, trapped within the sea of ​​fire, was now in a state of despair. Its feathers were charred black, and it uttered shrill cries. Yet, even so, it refused to yield. Instead, it shouted with a timid air, "Li Chen, don't be so arrogant! If you put away these damned flames now, perhaps I, the King, will show mercy and plead with my mother and the Tathagata Buddha, telling them that this is all a misunderstanding. Otherwise, when they come here in person, you will be punished!"

However, even in the face of the overwhelming threats and intimidation from the Golden-Winged Roc, Li Chen remained calm and composed, as if all this was just a passing cloud.

He calmly crossed his arms across his chest, his cold eyes like icy stars fixed on the Golden-winged Roc struggling and twisting in the raging sea of ​​fire. He thought to himself, "Humph, this fellow is now at the end of his rope, a spent force, yet he still foolishly tries to scare people with his bravado. It's simply ridiculous, utterly absurd!"

At this moment, the golden-winged Roc, who was in a desperate situation, was still like a madman, pointing his finger at Li Chen and cursing him with dirty words. His words were so vulgar that it was shocking.

As the sea of ​​fire continued to rage recklessly, suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the sky, like a golden sun shining brightly in the sky. Simultaneously, waves of melodious and solemn Buddhist chants echoed from all directions, reverberating throughout the heavens and earth, imbuing the world with a sense of solemnity. Then, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded—the raging flames on the Golden-Winged Roc, along with the resilient vines tightly wrapped around its body, suddenly retreated with the incredible speed of a tide.

Li Chen looked up at the golden light and saw a strange-looking monk sitting there. His head was covered with pimples of various sizes, making him look quite strange.

He was dressed in a bright yellow cassock and sat cross-legged with a solemn appearance. Beside him stood four benevolent bodhisattvas, each holding a magical instrument and emitting a peaceful and tranquil aura.

In addition, there are 500 Arhats with different expressions lined up neatly on both sides, and 3,000 majestic Jie Di gods are on standby. The scene is spectacular and awe-inspiring.
