Chapter 57 - Guardian of the Sea

And after Kaido's reminder, Luo Hao finally noticed her current state.

Upon breaking through the stone prison, her original clothes were inevitably torn by external forces, leaving her naked. Her fair skin seemingly glowed in the sunlight, and her slender waist accentuated her ample breasts, making her body appear even smaller.

Her current appearance was enough to make any man's blood boil.

However, just when Kaido thought Luo Hao would blush like any other girl, upon seeing her subsequent reaction, he immediately felt he was still too naive.

"What kind of look is that? Those clothes were ordinary silk. Although the Great Sage Equal to Heaven's spell couldn't harm me, external objects aren't protected by my power, so isn't it normal for them to tear? And..."

Luo Hao saw Kaido's wry smile and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Is it not true that you now look down on your elder sister? Or do you think that, without clothes, I would cover myself with cloth like those weaklings? I, Luo Hao, am not that cowardly!"

"No, no, no, I never thought that at all."

Kaido quickly shook his head. He thought she would understand, but he didn't expect such a baffling response, while inwardly he couldn't stop complaining.

*Your brain's wiring must be twisted, isn't it?*

*Hiss!*

He looked again at her constantly rising and falling chest.

Why did it seem like they had gotten bigger than before?

"Since you are the younger brother I acknowledge, don't be shy. If you want to look, look directly."

Luo Hao frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"But do not look at your elder sister with lust. That gaze is too unpleasant, and for you, my younger brother, to look at me with lustful eyes is totally against ethics."

"Elder sister, you're really making this difficult for me."

Since Luo Hao had said that, Ling Yun simply opened his eyes and looked directly, but for her to ask a physically healthy man like him not to show any lustful gaze...

*How was that possible? He wasn't a saint.*

If it weren't for his spell power suppressing him, his body probably would have reacted already.

Although she displayed the magnanimity of a king, upon sensing the hidden fervor in Kaido's gaze, even Luo Hao did not show her usual calm and serenity. Remembering that he was her sworn younger brother, her heart pounded like a deer, and her ivory skin couldn't help but blush slightly.

"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the Sand Demon General are causing trouble. Let's take care of them now!"

Luo Hao was not bothered by these thoughts. She quickly regained her composure and used transformation magic to conjure a white hanfu, which she put on.

As she was about to leave the cave, she hesitated again and quietly said, "Also, don't tell anyone what happened today. From now on, only Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I know."

Kaido nodded. Of course, he wouldn't go publicizing something like that.

Good things were meant to be enjoyed alone. He didn't want to see other men coveting Luo Hao's beauty.

After jumping out of the cave, Kaido suddenly heard a familiar classic Chinese passage.

"In the darkness of the north there is a fish, and its name is Kun! The Kun is so vast that no one knows how many thousands of miles it measures. It transforms into a bird, and its name is Peng! The back of the Peng is so immense that no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans. When it stirs and flies, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky!"

*Holy cow! Wasn't that a passage from Zhuangzi's "Free and Easy Wandering" from high school?*

After Luo Hao finished chanting the Spiritual Word, a giant Golden-Winged Great Peng bird appeared from the void and landed in front of her.

"Why are you still standing there? Get on quickly!"

Luo Hao scolded in displeasure.

Kaido had a lot to complain about, but he didn't know where to start.

He now doubted whether Luo Hao's Word Magic had simply been casually chosen from ancient poems to show off.

Kaido jumped onto the back of the Golden-Winged Great Peng bird and stood behind Luo Hao.

A soft sensation arose beneath his feet. The golden feathers swayed in the air, looking incredibly realistic.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the Great Peng spread its wings and soared. Kaido quickly used his magical power to stabilize himself and avoid falling.

*Say something before you start the journey!*

He complained discontentedly.

It would be truly embarrassing if he actually fell.

"By the way, is this bird real or fake? How did it get so big?"

If it were an Authority, Kaido would quickly realize it, but the spell power within the Great Peng bird was not very strong, far inferior even to a Divine Beast.

When he looked at Luo Hao's profile, he didn't know if he was mistaken, but he felt as if she suddenly smiled.

"This is ancient transformation magic. If you want to learn it, your elder sister can teach you."

A beautiful voice resonated in his ears.

"How long would it take to learn?"

Kaido was very interested in this type of almost mystical magic. If he could learn it, he wouldn't need to take planes to travel in the future.

Convenient, fast, and impressive.

"With your aptitude, if you want to transform into a Golden-Winged Great Peng, you would only need five years of diligent cultivation."

"Huh? It takes that long?"

"Magic is not learned overnight. China is full of wizards, but only a few can learn the art of transformation. Apart from me, which of them is not an elder with a youthful appearance?"

Luo Hao stared at Kaido.

"Cultivating is not easy at all. Although your bone structure is not that of a genius, it is still far above that of ordinary people. Under my guidance, five years of learning is already the shortest time."

"I thought it would be five days."

"Young people should not be too ambitious. If you weren't my younger brother and were still so arrogant, I would undoubtedly hang that person's corpse at the city gate to be exposed to the sun for three days!"

Luo Hao, who was very serious about her cultivation, unusually put on a stern face and lectured him.

Kaido knew that she was superior to everyone in the martial arts world, and a Grandmaster's strict teaching was not without reason.

The gigantic golden divine bird quickly soared over Nikko Mountain.

Including the length of its wings, the body length of the Golden-Winged Great Peng bird was several hundred meters, enough to be described as one that covered the sky.

Even if it had little combat power, it truly looked magnificent.

"Boom—!"

At that moment, an impact of spell power carrying a violent aura roared from afar.

The air vibrated with a roar, and the flight trajectory of the Golden-Winged Great Peng was altered, causing the two people standing on its back to sway.

Because Kaido was close to Luo Hao, he instinctively grabbed the young woman's body in front of him when he temporarily lost his balance.

Luo Hao, who had emerged from the stone prison, had put on clothes that enhanced her figure. Suddenly feeling herself gripped at the waist, the young woman, knowing who he was, did not get angry, but simply commanded the Golden-Winged Great Peng to land.

The hundred-meter-long Sacred Beast landed on a vast grassland, and then Luo Hao glared at him.

Kaido, who had already withdrawn his hand, tried to act as if he hadn't seen anything, observing the two Gods Heretic rapidly flying from the horizon, while also wondering if he had seen something at that moment.

When he touched her waist just now, Luo Hao seemed to tremble slightly.

*Could it be that she was ticklish?*

She, who usually seemed calm, indifferent, and possessed the majesty of a king, actually had ticklish spots. Kaido would be the first to not believe it.

Secretly noting Luo Hao's little ticklish secret, Kaido quickly dismissed the thought, as the Monkey King and the Sand Demon General had already arrived.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven with a pointed mouth and a thundering face, and the Sand Demon General with red hair and dark skin, who looked more like a monster than a god.

Luo Hao suppressed the last trace of annoyance in her heart and revealed a resolute smile.

"I've been waiting, Great Sage. Let's settle this now!"

With Word Magic surging, she was fully prepared. If the opponent used immortal traps again, Luo Hao could instantly break free.

"You are truly a troublesome woman. It's a good time to get rid of you and your brother with my younger brother today."

Sun Wukong laughed, carrying his iron staff.

"My elder brother and I will defeat you together and bury your adopted brother's vow together..."

The Sand Demon General spoke with a gloomy face and tone, his voice booming like distant thunder.

His weapon was a crescent-shaped shovel, rumored to have been forged by Lu Ban from a cassia branch cut by Wu Gang. One end was a crescent-shaped shovel, concave, with the crescent outward, and the tail was an axe-shaped shovel handle with a sharp end, looking quite intimidating.

"Hehe... It just so happens that you two are elder and younger brothers, and I also have a brother here..." At this point, Luo Hao was somewhat puzzled.

"But aren't you three elder and younger brothers? Where is the guardian of the North Star Lord?"

"Your younger brother has already dealt with the second elder brother. I promised to avenge my younger brother, so... I want this man!"

As soon as the words fell, the Monkey King, stepping on golden clouds, entered a state of divine speed and swung the iron staff in his hand towards Kaido's head.

Luo Hao was dumbfounded at first when Kaido dealt with Zhu Ganglie, and then her face darkened at Sun Wukong's indifference toward her.

However, as the pinnacle of martial arts, she would naturally not stoop to teaming up with Kaido against the Monkey King.

Thus, she turned her icy gaze toward the Sand Demon General.

"A god who was once honest, steadfast, and brave by Tang Seng's side has now degenerated into a subordinate, humble, and superficial god. How pathetic and pitiful!"

The century-old buried anger instantly ignited, and a large amount of Spirit of the Word instantly gathered in Luo Hao's body, erupting into a golden aura.

And this aura soared higher and higher, transforming into a golden Benevolent King.

Facing the formidable Sand Demon General, who was stepping on a water dragon tens of meters tall, Luo Hao fearlessly confronted him, and her beautiful Spiritual Word resonated in the sky.

"One blow to reach him! Use great force to overcome lesser evil!"

The water dragon and the Benevolent King clashed, causing the ground to tremble.

"Hehe, you have the elder's aura, and you fought my younger brother recently. Your stamina and Magic must be almost exhausted, right?" The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, with divine speed, attacked Kaido with extreme velocity.

"You two, fake elder and younger brothers, are truly very shameless."

Saying only that, Kaido's expression went blank, his body surged with a magical aura, and he wielded the True Longinus, launching a spear at Sun Wukong.

If Sun Wukong had been smiling indifferently before, then when Kaido launched his spear, distorting space itself, his eyes finally changed dramatically.

The Monkey King, in a state of divine speed, could not instantly change his trajectory. Seeing the Sacred Spear that Kaido raised, he simply blocked its tip with his iron staff.

Boom—!

An unstoppable force acted on his arm, and even his entire body, through the iron staff. Like an avalanche, he was sent flying by the blow.

"Elder brother...!"

The Sand Demon General, who was in a fierce battle with Luo Hao, his face changed drastically.

He didn't expect his elder brother, who had just escaped, to fall into a disadvantage.

Luo Hao heard the commotion from that side, simply glanced briefly, and then withdrew her gaze.

His body slammed into the rock, the Monkey King felt a sharp pain in his back, and even his head was filled with bright golden stars, as if countless winged monkeys were flying around him.

"Wham!"

Blue seawater appeared from the void, transforming into countless water arrows, like launching rockets, crossing thousands of meters, and with a boom, the Ape God's body was directly submerged by a dense volley of water attacks.

This was the new authority that Ling Yun obtained after killing Susanoo.

[Guardian of the Sea!]

Although Susanoo had many divine titles and epithets, such as God of Destruction and God of War, and the Steel Hero who killed dragons and snakes, his essence was a deity who guarded the ocean.

After Susanoo was born, his father Izanagi, upon the birth of a mucus during his time in a river, gave him the authority to manage all Seas and Rivers.

And from this also arose the authority of the [Guardian of the Sea].

In the previous battle in the Underworld, Susanoo hid in the ocean and attacked Kaido with various objects transformed from seawater.

Although Kaido's authority, when used, could not summon wind and rain like Susanoo, it could at least summon seawater to submerge a city and control seawater for attacks.
