Chapter 42: Lei Hao Leaves the Pass

  At dawn, a flash of golden light appeared in front of the Water Cavern Cave, and Sun Wukong, dressed in a green Taoist robe, emerged in mid-air.

  The two little demons at the front of the cave didn't feel surprised at all, and bowed their heads to say: "Your humble servants pay respects to the Beautiful Monkey King."

  Sun Wukong didn't answer, casually waved his hand and transformed into a golden light, rushing into the Water Cavern.

  "Little fox, Thunder Bull, I'm old Sun coming to see you again." The little monster in front of the door hadn't even straightened up when it heard a voice coming from inside the cave.

  In the quiet main hall of the Water Cavern, a small fox sat on a purple sandalwood chair, intently sewing a purple cloak. Suddenly, she was startled by Sun Wukong's voice and her heart skipped a beat. The silver needle pierced into her finger, making a "click" sound, but it didn't hurt her finger; instead, the needle broke.

  The little fox's face showed a bitter smile, and he spoke softly: "Dead monkey, I've told you how many times not to be so arrogant. How can you always forget?"

  As the conversation reached its midpoint, Sun Wukong's slender figure suddenly appeared on the throne in the Water Cavern, still sitting there with his usual sloppy posture.

  Sun Wukong listened and scratched his face, a monkey face full of embarrassment said: "Mistake, mistake, I was thinking too much about you guys?"

  A burst of footsteps sounded outside the main hall, and before entering, the voice had already come over, "I've heard this many times, and the majestic Monkey King doesn't even know shame." By the time he finished speaking, the newcomer had entered the main hall. Upon looking, it was Lei Dabao. Among the Thunder Guards, Sun Wukong's relationship with Lei Dabao was the best, so Lei Dabao dared to speak ill of him.

  Sun Wukong's face is so thick, being smoked by Lei Hao for so many years, that it would take only a few simple sentences from Lei Daniu to make him feel ashamed. Sun Wukong glared at Lei Daniu: "You little calf, are you itching for a fight? Come on, come on, I'm in the mood today, let's have some fun and exercise." Sun Wukong said with a 'cruel' smile on his face.

  Lei Daniu's rugged cow face twitched violently, and a hint of lingering fear flashed in his eyes. Half a year ago, Lei Daniu was leading the Lei Army on the training grounds when he coincidentally ran into Sun Wukong, who had come to find Lei Hao but left empty-handed. In a moment of impulsiveness, Lei Daniu wanted to see the difference between Sun Wukong's current state after advancing to the late stage of Inner Dan and his own state as a Demon King, so he went to provoke the idle and anxious Sun Wukong.

  Lei Da Niu's teasing was successful, and as a result, Sun Wukong was tortured to the point of near death, and afterwards he lay in bed for two whole days before having the energy to move.

  Now Sun Wukong brought this up, and Lei Dabao immediately didn't dare to respond. "Kidding, do you think I'm a fool? If I practice with you again, then I'll be the one who's a pig-headed idiot." Lei Dabao thought to himself secretly.

  At this time, a voice they were extremely familiar with came from outside the main hall. "Or, Monkey King, you practice and let me have some fun too?"

  The smile on Sun Wukong's face, who was still smiling 'cruelly' at Lei Daniu, suddenly froze; the little fox, who was speechless and staring at Sun Wukong, also froze; while Lei Daniu laughed with great joy.

  "Ox head!" Sun Wukong jumped up and shouted excitedly.

  "Head!" Little Fox and Thunder Bull shouted in unison as they turned around.

  A majestic and stately figure slowly walked in, with a warm smile on his face that flickered with the firelight.

  It's Lei Hao.

  Sun Wukong took a double step back and transformed into a golden light that charged towards Lei Hao with a piercing meaning.

  Lei Hao, who had just stood still, also turned into a purple light and disappeared on the spot. In the hall, a fierce atmosphere suddenly appeared out of thin air, as if there were explosives everywhere, ready to explode at any moment.

  Golden light and purple light kept intersecting, many times the golden light almost collided with the purple light, but was always pulled away by the purple light's sudden burst of magical power.

  Inside the main hall, Xiao Hu Li and Lei Da Niu only saw the dazzling golden light and purple light in front of them, but the two demons' figures were completely invisible.

  A wisp of incense, Sun Wukong appeared on the throne with a look of dissatisfaction and shouted: "I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore."

  Lei Hao suddenly appeared beside Xiao Hu Li with a smiling face.

  Sun Wukong's lecherous eyes kept sizing up Lei Hao, his face filled with confusion as he asked: "Niu Tou, what realm are you in now? How is it that after five years of closed-door training, even I, the Great Sage, can't catch up to you?" It should be known that Sun Wukong's speed was absolutely at the Golden Immortal level, even without using his筋斗云.

  Lei Hao's face relaxed as he said, "That one bottle of elixir was indeed very potent. I've now advanced to the early stages of Tianxian." However, in his heart, he was extremely grateful to Sun Wukong. Without that elixir, Lei Hao would have been unable to break through from Dixian to Tianxian within five years, no matter how confident he had been before. Even if he had prepared himself for twenty years to break through to Tianxian.

  Sun Wukong's eyes slowly ignited a fierce battle intent, a very pure battle intent.

  "Hey, Ox Head! You and I should have a friendly spar?" Sun Wukong couldn't help but say, his competitive spirit stirring.

  "Good." Lei Hao nodded in agreement without hesitation. He also wanted to see just how big the gap was between him and a Golden Immortal-level demon.

  The little fox looked at Lei Hao with a worried gaze, he wasn't worried that Sun Wukong would do anything to Lei Hao, but rather that the crazy energy Lei Hao had unleashed might hurt himself.

  Feeling the gaze of the little fox, Lei Hao smiled and gave her a gentle hug. At this moment, Lei Hao also had a lot of sweet words to say to the little fox, but there was no hurry, he could say them in the next few days and nights as well.

  After a brief hug, Leihao released his arms and exchanged a glance with Sun Wukong. The two demons simultaneously transformed into purple light and golden light, rushing out of the cave.

  Half a breath later, Lei Hao and Sun Wukong's figures appeared in the high altitude of Kanyu Mountain where dark clouds were densely packed.

  After standing still, Sun Wukong swung his wide sleeves, and his Taoist robe had disappeared. What reappeared was no longer the thin Monkey King, but the majestic and handsome Beautiful Monkey King.

  Only see the beautiful Monkey King Sun Wukong wearing a golden armor shining brightly, with a golden crown radiating light. He holds a golden hoop rod in his hand and wears cloud shoes that match perfectly. A pair of strange eyes shine like bright stars, two ears extend beyond his shoulders and are stiff. His robust body can transform into many forms, his voice resonates loudly like a bell.

  There is no trace of his usual slovenly and sordid air about him.

  Lei Hao couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Truly heroic, truly heroic. Where did you get this treasure from?" After asking, Lei Hao's heart moved slightly.

  Sun Wukong grinned, showing off: "This is what I got from the East Sea Dragon King. This armor is pretty good, but this Ruyi Jingu Bang is a great treasure." After finishing speaking, he waved the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand towards Lei Hao.

  When Sun Wukong wielded his Golden Hoop Rod, Lei Hao felt the Dragon Slaying War Knife inside him trembling violently.

  Lei Hao summoned the Dragon Slayer with a big hand, but it felt even more violent. In these years, Lei Hao had been keeping the Dragon Slayer in his body, nourishing it with his internal energy and spiritual power. The current Dragon Slayer's shape hadn't changed at all, but its inherent sword intent was even more overbearing and brutal. At this moment, the highly spirited Dragon Slayer felt the pressure from the higher-level Ruyi divine weapon, trembling with fear nonstop.

  It's just that there is such a master, and there is such a knife. The trembling dragon slayer, like a thug who has been forced to the extreme and has no way out, bursts out with a desperate and crazy intent to die together. Just like its owner, Lei Hao, who once goes crazy, will play with his life.

  While Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang felt the provocation of this dragon-slaying, it immediately became a heavy and majestic aura that pressed down like Mount Tai. The pressure of the Golden Hoop Rod was simple, just one word: "press".

  Simplicity is simplicity, but it can crush any existence below the earth with a burst of destruction.

  The confrontation between Tulong and the Golden Cudgel brought about a collision of aura between Leihao and Sun Wukong. Soon, Sun Wukong's fierce aura and Leihao's violent aura became entangled in mid-air. Although Leihao's aura was at a disadvantage, it wouldn't be easily defeated in a short period of time.

  "It's no wonder he's my brother, Sun Wukong. His cultivation has surpassed those useless people in the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits in such a short time." Sun Wukong said to Lei Hao with a fierce fighting spirit.

  "I am who? I am Lei Hao! I am the one and only Lei Hao in heaven and earth!" A strong sense of confidence burst out from Lei Hao's body.

  "What a unique and unparalleled being in heaven and earth!" Sun Wukong shouted loudly, and at the same time, his body emitted a burst of unbridled energy that soared into the sky.

  After finishing speaking, Sun Wukong could no longer hold back his desire to fight, and with a swing of his staff, he struck. A golden light shot out like lightning towards Lei Hao.

  Lei Hao raised his knife to parry, but suddenly felt a surge of immense power coming from it, causing his hands to go numb.

  "It's indeed worthy of being the Ruyi Jingu Bang, it's really powerful." Lei Hao thought to himself as he felt the force transmitted from the Dragon Slaying Club.

  Sun Wukong's staff was heavy, but Lei Hao's knife momentum was also watertight, no matter where Sun Wukong's staff came from, Lei Hao could parry it.

  Two figures in the sky kept calling out to each other, wave after wave of piercing metallic clashing sounds spreading from high above, and the surrounding clouds were also driven far away by the two brothers' fighting aura and pressure.

  In the blink of an eye, Lei Hao had parried over a hundred moves from Sun Wukong. He was now accustomed to Sun's attacking rhythm. It was time for him to counterattack.

  Lei Hao suddenly retreated backwards with a loud shout: "Ground Split". A gigantic knife aura several dozen feet long chopped towards Sun Wukong with the speed of lightning.

  Sun Wukong was having a great time fighting, his staff strikes getting heavier and more powerful with each blow. Lei Hao suddenly retreated, just as he was about to launch another attack, he sensed a dangerous aura. Sun Wukong immediately steadied himself, raised his staff, and prepared to defend.

  The purple light flashing knife gas heavily chopped on Sun Wukong's golden hoop rod, and Sun Wukong also felt the taste of Lei Hao before. The power contained in this knife gas far exceeded Sun Wukong's expectations, and the surging power sent Sun Wukong flying tens of meters before gradually dissipating.

  Sun Wukong danced with his golden hoop rod, and shouted loudly with a pleased face: "Great, great, come again!" After shouting, Sun Wukong shook his golden hoop rod and turned it into a golden light, charging towards Lei Hao once more.

  Lei Hao gradually found his rhythm, with an excited expression on his face, he charged towards Sun Wukong with his knife.

  Knives and clubs danced in the air, exchanging countless blows in the blink of an eye.
