Chapter 46: The Initial Encounter with Niu Mo Wang
The Peach Garden Water Curtain Cave
Lei Hao stroked the curved cow horns and stared at Niu Mo Wang who was also touching the cow horns.
The Ox King was indeed overbearing, with a cow's head and human body, standing at an astonishing one zhang five chi tall. He wore a suit of black iron armor that fit him perfectly, topped with a flowing black cloak, exuding a bloody and brutal aura that hit you right in the face.
It is precisely the aesthetic view of the demon race that has been brought to an extreme.
"Could this be the Water Calamity Cave's Lei Hou Wang that Mei Houwang often mentions?" Niu Mo Wang slowly opened his mouth, his tone not fast, but his voice was very thick and heavy.
"I don't dare, I am Lei Hao, the Water Cave Thunder. I have seen the Great King of the Ox Demon." Lei Hao cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.
On the side, watching Lei Hao and Niu Mo Wang stare at each other for a while, Sun Wukong, who had been impatient for some time, jumped up from his throne, waved his hand and said: "We're all brothers in our own family, no need to be polite."
Lei Hao and Niu Mo Wang laughed at the same time: "This monkey is really clever."
After finishing, Leihao and Niu Mo Wang sat down separately. After sitting down, Niu Mo Wang spoke up: "I've long heard of the great name of King Leihao, but I didn't expect that you are also a top-notch expert at the Tianxian level. I don't know why I had never heard of your name in this Dongsheng Divine State before." For the first time meeting, Niu Mo Wang was very polite and addressed him as "Your Majesty".
Lei Hao said: "I don't dare to deceive you, I was just recently breaking through to the Tian Xian stage and have been staying in my Kunyuan Mountain, not often coming out to move around, it's really laughable for the great king."
The Monkey King, who was in the superior position, hastily said: "My big brother, although he has just broken through to the Tianxian realm, is not inferior to an ordinary Jinxian realm. Even if it's old Sun, if I don't use my full strength, I won't be able to defeat Big Brother within a hundred moves."
This is Sun Wukong intentionally elevating Lei Hao's status. Although he hasn't interacted with the Ox Demon King for long, he still understands these famous demons, each and every one of them appears polite on the surface but are actually arrogant to the bone. In his heart, Sun Wukong doesn't want Lei Hao to be looked down upon by any demon.
"Oh?" The Bull Demon King's face turned serious, his expression no longer polite as before. A majestic and powerful aura, like Mount Tai, pressed down on Lei Hao, covering the entire sky. This aura was extremely condensed, all of it pressing down on Lei Hao without a single leak, not even a drop of strong wine in the wine cup in front of the Bull Demon King was disturbed.
Sun Wukong's face fell, and he slammed the wine bowl back onto the bluestone table. Without a word, he unleashed a fierce and violent aura that surged towards Niu Mo Wang like a tsunami, shattering the bluestone table into four pieces with a loud "crack".
The Ox King stared at Lei Hao with a expressionless face, Sun Wukong bared his teeth and glared at the Ox King, his hand already making a move to pull out the Golden Hoop from his ear.
Lei Hao's face remained unchanged, and he didn't release his own pressure to counter the Ox Demon King. Instead, he turned his head to look at the three jars of liquor neatly arranged in the corner, one jar flew towards the Ox Demon King, one jar flew towards Sun Wukong, and he himself seemed to have not seen this tense situation, and casually opened the mud seal and downed a large mouthful of liquor.
Lei Hao's hands were extremely steady as he drank, the strong liquor flowing smoothly from the mouth of the jug into his large mouth without spilling a single drop, as if he hadn't sensed the pressure from the Ox Demon King at all.
Sun Wukong's face was somewhat unpredictable, and the Ox King's silent exertion of pressure on Lei Hao was a slap in the face to the beautiful monkey king, but if he wanted the Ox King, a great demon of this level, to recognize Lei Hao's strength, it was an indispensable link.
After taking a deep breath, Sun Wukong put down the hand that was holding the Golden Hoop Rod and irritably grabbed the wine jug floating in front of him, breaking off the mud seal and pouring it into his mouth with all his might.
The Ox Demon King didn't go get the wine jug suspended in front of him, still expressionless as he stared at Lei Hao, but the pressure emanating from his body was getting heavier and heavier.
At this time, the space in front of Lei Hao was like a black lightning bolt had been placed there, occasionally leaving behind dark marks.
Lei Hao's hand remained steady, and the strong liquor in the wine jug flowed into his mouth like a silver thread without spilling a single drop.
But on Lei Hao's body, a tyrannical knife intent rose up, this tyrannical knife intent quietly stood atop Lei Hao's head, transforming into a precious sword that could cleave iron like mud, cutting the Cow Demon King's mountain-like pressure in two, no longer able to exert even the slightest pressure on Lei Hao's body.
The Ox Demon King saw this, his ox eyes glared, a yellowish-brown magical force flashed by, and the explosive pressure suddenly increased tenfold, pressing down on Lei Hao's body, causing him to sink, and the green stone throne beneath him split into four or five pieces.
Sun Wukong, who was drinking wine with a gloomy expression on the side, threw down his wine jar and held a golden hoop rod in his hand. He glared at the Ox King with a fierce face, making a gesture to hit him.
Only faster than Sun Wukong's action is Lei Hao.
For so long being suppressed by the Ox King's pressure, Lei Hao was also somewhat displeased in his heart. But he also knew that the Ox King didn't have any malicious intentions, just wanting to weigh and measure his strength, so he had been enduring it all along. Now this Ox King actually went further, and he got annoyed.
Lei Hao crushed the wine jug in his hand, and a purple light flashed all over his body. The green robe with white sleeves had disappeared, replaced by a majestic figure with a purple cloak, a cow's head and human body, staring with a pair of blood-red eyes - a Cow Demon.
This cow demon is naturally Lei Hao's true form of the demon clan.
After Lei Hao transformed into his true form, the violent and oppressive aura that had been suppressed all along burst out, although it was not as terrifying as Niu Mo Wang's and Sun Wukong's auras, but there was a kind of unyielding flavor to it.
After the explosion, Lei Hao let out a comfortable groan. The sound grew louder and louder as it left him, eventually becoming a massive wave of sound that shocked the small demons on Mount Huaguo to tremble with fear, kneeling on the ground and not daring to move.
Lei Hao's neck moved lightly, his entire skeleton making a 'cracking' sound, and he stared with a pair of blood-red eyes, his gaze full of cruel meaning.
Lei Hao's momentum was shocking, but the Ox Demon King remained expressionless, steadily increasing the pressure that suppressed Lei Hao.
Lei Hao, who had transformed back into his true form, felt the pressure on him growing heavier and became enraged. With a wave of his empty hand, Lei Hao unleashed a powerful and sharp blade intent that crushed the pressure on Cow Demon King's body, and with an unfinished momentum, he pounced towards Cow Demon King.
But Leihao's knife intent approached Niu Mo Wang four feet away, and then disappeared. Making it so that Niu Mo Wang didn't even have a chance to react, and just vanished in a very strange manner.
"Haha……" The Bull Demon King noticed Lei Hao, suddenly laughed, the rough bull head laughed with great magnanimity, and after laughing loudly said: "Brother Lei's strength is indeed very strong, it can really compare to a Golden Immortal level expert. Please forgive me, Brother Lei, old Bull was too abrupt." After finishing speaking, the Bull Demon King neatly bowed his hands to Lei Hao, no longer using the polite language of their first meeting, obviously, the Bull Demon King acknowledged Lei Hao's strength.
Niú Mó Wáng was so generous that Léi Hào also extinguished the anger in his heart, cupped his hands and said: "It's my brother's fault for not being strong enough, let Niú Lǎo Gē see a joke."
Sun Wukong also chimed in, "Old Cow, you're not being chivalrous. On my turf, you dare to lay hands on my big brother? Next time, don't blame me for going to your Banana Cave to practice some moves with you." His voice was full of discontent.
The Bull Demon King laughed loudly and said, "You think you're the Great Sage Equal of Heaven now, but you can't even beat me, old Ox. Is there another Lei Brother in this humble Mountain of Flowers and Fruits?" His words were heroic and overbearing, fully revealing his style as a powerful demon king.
Sun Wukong was somewhat depressed and poured himself a drink. His own strength was no match for the old ox, after all, his age couldn't even compare to the old ox's juniority. He didn't think that even the Flower Fruit Mountain would be underestimated, he really felt very embarrassed, but the Flower Fruit Mountain was indeed far inferior to the Bull Demon King's Banana Cave. Sun Wukong had been to the Banana Cave more than once, and the earth immortal demons he saw in the Banana Cave were no less than twenty, while his own Flower Fruit Mountain, including himself and Lei Hao, were only a handful of people.
As they spoke, the three demons sat down again. After some idle chatter, Sun Wukong asked, "I don't know if Old Bull has come this time with something important to do? I think my humble Flower Fruit Mountain is not as good as your kind of old demon's Dharma eye."
Sun Wukong still underestimated the Bull Demon King and was dissatisfied with the Huaguo Mountain, and he also used words to tease the Bull Demon King.
The Bull Demon King changed his expression and said, "Old Ox has come this time not for anything else. My mountain wife gave birth to a son for me, and I'm preparing a grand feast for guests from all sides, so Old Ox came to invite some old brothers to attend the banquet. As it happens, I just came from Old Lion's place and didn't expect to meet the Thunder Brothers, such talents, in this Flower Fruit Mountain, which is also a wonderful thing."
Sun Wukong laughed and said: "Oh? Princess Iron Fan has been pregnant for ten years, finally gave birth?" Apparently Sun Wukong had seen Princess Iron Fan before.
The Ox King's eyes were filled with joyful dots, and he nodded: "Yes, the day is set on the summer solstice next year. The old cow's new cave, Mount Ji Lei, Mo Yun Cave. At that time, the two brothers must come to my Mount Ji Lei for a drink."
After finishing speaking, the Bull Demon King turned his head and smiled at Sun Wukong, saying: "Earlier, the two kings of the monkeys were constantly mentioning you, saying that they had not yet decided who was superior to whom. You'd better arrive early."
As soon as Bull Demon King mentioned the Monkey King and the Roc Demon King, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.
After finishing the proper business, the three demons opened up and drank wildly. Although the three demons were all heavy drinkers, they couldn't withstand the dozens of kilograms of strong liquor going down their throats, nor could they use their magical powers to force out the liquor from their stomachs. Soon, Lei Hao got drunk.
In the cave, a little demon had been waiting and saw Lei Hao being knocked to the ground. It carefully approached and lifted Lei Hao up and took him away.
Niú Mó Wáng also became seven-tenths drunk and staggered after the leading little demon to rest.
Only Sun Wukong was left in the hall.
"Hmm, not enough! Not enough!" Sun Wukong, who had also been drinking heavily, picked up a jug of wine and transformed it into a golden light that flew out of the Water Curtain Cave. He found a large rock on the Flower Fruit Mountain to bask in the sun and continued drinking.
After a few breaths, Sun Wukong's intoxication surged up, his hand relaxed, and the wine jar rolled over to one side. A thunderous snore erupted, and with each breath, a massive wave of energy was stirred up, startling all the flying birds and beasts within a radius of one mile.
After Sun Wukong fell asleep, two blurry figures appeared in the nearby area where no living thing should be. These two vague people emitted a cold aura under the sun, and neither of them had a shadow!
These two people kept trembling near the big rock, and a man in white clothes like frost asked: "Is it... this... this guy?" The stuttering voice showed his mood at the moment. For him, Sun Wukong's aura was terrifying, just like he was facing not a sleeping thin monkey, but a great power that could kill him with one finger.
Another pitch-black man, although also frightened, still managed to calm down and say: "It's this guy, let's... take action, the orders from 'that person' are something we brothers can't resist." It's unknown who the black-clothed man was referring to as 'that person'.
The man in white listened and bit his tongue, took out a golden leaf full of Sanskrit from his bosom, and waved his hand to hit the sleeping Sun Wukong.
This golden light, at the moment it came into contact with Sun Wukong, transformed into several strands of golden light that entered his body through his seven orifices. Very quickly, his Golden Immortal-level aura disappeared, until he turned into an ordinary monkey who was sleeping.
After a few breaths, a golden light flashed on Sun Wukong's body, and a shadow sat up, looking silly.
The man in black quickly stepped forward, using a thick iron chain to bind the golden light shadow. After pulling it tight, he disappeared from the scene.
