Chapter 124: Warfire Ox!

  In front of Shangguan Yu was a cow, to be precise, a fire cow. Because this cow's entire body was wrapped in flames, these flames were very small, but gathered together, they weren't few either.

  This ox is quite sturdy, slightly taller than Hei Xiao. Shangguan Yu compared and found that the ox was almost as tall as him. If calculated by weight, this ox should weigh at least 500-600 catties.

  "There are quite a few demons here, I just killed an ice spider and didn't expect to encounter another fire cow now. However, this fire cow should have been attracted by the big fire earlier, that is, it was attracted by me."

  "This is good too, I just learned 'Fire Lotus Exploding Fist' and haven't practiced it yet. This time I'll try out this martial skill, if it really doesn't work, I'll use the Swimming Dragon Gun again. Come on, Fire Ox, let me see your skills!"

  Shangguan Yu glanced at Huoni with a provocative look, this was indeed a good sparring partner. Huoni's skin was thick and rough, its horns were even harder, and it was still a fire-attribute magical beast, so it must be very strong.

  The fire cow didn't understand what Shangguan Yu was saying, but it already had a hint of spiritual intelligence. As for Shangguan Yu's provocation, the fire cow understood as well. The fire cow's temper was originally violent, and now that Shangguan Yu was still provoking it, it naturally went berserk.

  "Mooooo!"

  A loud bellow, and the Fire Ox charged directly at Shangguan Yu. The Fire Ox's running speed was extremely fast, its sharp horns facing Shangguan Yu as it launched a frenzied charge. The ground seemed to shake, the Fire Ox's hooves trampling the earth, leaving behind a trail of hoof prints.

  The Fire Ox's shape is similar to that of an ordinary ox, but it is larger and more majestic. Its body is covered not with fur, but with fine, tiny flames. Its hooves are strong and powerful, and it runs very quickly.

  "It's really cool, I wonder if I should take out a red cloth? Unfortunately, I didn't bring a red cloth with me, or else I could have tried bullfighting. But that red cloth would probably get burned quickly anyway, and whether the fire cow reacts to the red cloth or not, I don't even know."

  He stepped on "Chase Memories", Shangguan Yu calmly dodged the Fire Ox's charge. He hadn't reached the Tianjiang realm yet, otherwise, with his vitality filling his legs, his movement speed would definitely be even faster.

  The fire ox charged forward for a short distance before stopping. Turning its body, the fire ox looked at Shangguan Yu and launched another charge. This time, the fire ox was even closer to Shangguan Yu, but still didn't hit him.

  Not colliding with Shangguan Yu, the Fire Ox did not lose its vigor. It continued to charge at Shangguan Yu time and again, and after each charge, the distance between it and Shangguan Yu grew shorter.

  The Fire Ox was now very close to Shangguan Yu, and when the Fire Ox charged again, Shangguan Yu barely dodged it. The Fire Ox quickly turned around and charged at Shangguan Yu once more.

  "This fire cow is really clever, using this method to gradually close the distance with its opponent. After dodging the fire cow's charge, the opponent may think that the fire cow is not a big deal. With a playful mindset, the opponent falls into the trap set by the fire cow. In the end, the fire cow will definitely knock out the opponent until it kills them." Such thoughts flashed through Shangguan Yu's mind.

  The fire bull charged towards Shangguan Yu, and this time the wind generated by the fire bull could already be felt. Looking at the rapidly approaching fire bull, the corners of Shangguan Yu's mouth curled up instead. Apart from being a warrior, he was also a shaman.

  "Slaying life's minor techniques, slaying men and destroying enemies, shattering a thousand armies!"

  Shangguan Yu's fingers moved quickly, as if following a certain trajectory. This time, the time it took to cast this small spell was shorter than before. Just as Huoni was about to approach him, the spell landed on Huoni's body.

  The Fire Ox's rapid sprint suddenly slowed down a beat, and this move directly hit the Fire Ox's body. Without seeing any movement from the Fire Ox, it charged towards Shangguan Yu again after a brief pause.

  "It's really thick-skinned, fortunately I didn't expect this move to have any effect. It seems that this fire cow is not easy to deal with, at least it's much more powerful than the ice spider before. If you don't use your real skills, it seems that you can't get rid of this cow."

  It was that one move that allowed Shangguan Yu to dodge the Fire Ox's impact once again. Shangguan Yu had already clenched his fist, and the primordial energy within him began to circulate. Seizing the moment when the Fire Ox passed by his side, Shangguan Yu struck a punch onto the Fire Ox's body.

  "Flame Lotus Exploding Fist!"

  Shangguan Yu's fist turned fiery red, as if it had formed a lotus flower made of flames. This lotus flower smashed directly onto Huo Niu's body, the lotus flower scattered, and as for that scorching feeling, to Huo Niu, it was nothing.

  The Fire Ox did not collide with the Upper Official Yu, but his attack was also ineffective. The Fire Ox was originally a fire-attribute magical beast, let alone the scorching feeling, even real flames, the Fire Ox was not afraid of them. Moreover, the Fire Ox occasionally ate fire, it naturally would not be afraid of fire.

  In the bewildered gaze of Huo Niu, Shangguan Yu charged towards him. Huo Niu's charge was very fierce, and if they collided head-on, Shangguan Yu would definitely be injured. However, Shangguan Yu also wanted to defeat Huo Niu, so he couldn't keep dodging forever.

  Even if Shangguan Yu retreats, the Fire Ox will continue to charge forward and eventually close the distance between them. As for waiting for the Fire Ox to exhaust its energy before defeating it, that's not Shangguan Yu's style.

  Since that's the case, what Shangguan Yu could think of was to narrow the distance between them. When the distance is too close, the Fire Ox's charge naturally doesn't have that momentum. Think about it, if Shangguan Yu and the Fire Ox stand together, how can the Fire Ox charge?

  Just as the fire ox was about to approach him, Shangguan Yu jumped into the air. In mid-air, Shangguan Yu turned his body, and this jump was calculated by him. When Shangguan Yu landed, he just happened to land on top of the fire ox.

  Shangguan Yu grasped the fiery bull's horns with both hands and sat down heavily on its back. When the bull stopped, Shangguan Yu's fists smashed into the bull's neck. Even if the bull had thick skin, Shangguan Yu didn't believe that hitting it in the neck wouldn't elicit a reaction.

  No matter how the Fire Ox shook its body, Shangguan Yu sat firmly on it. The Fire Ox charged again, trying to throw Shangguan Yu off. Shangguan Yu hugged the Fire Ox's neck with both hands, but still kept pounding the Fire Ox's neck.

  The fire cow ran for a while, and after finding that it had no effect, it stopped. Officer Yu let out a sigh of relief, if the fire cow continued to run, he would have been exhausted to death. But what the fire cow did next was something Officer Yu didn't expect.

  The fire ox sidled a few steps, then fell directly to the ground. Feeling this fall, Yu Xiang jumped down first. If he was pressed down by this fire ox, he would probably end up in a terrible situation.

  Looking at the Fire Ox on the ground, Shangguan Yu was about to rush up and attack, but the Fire Ox quickly got up. The big ox eyes were filled with anger, and here it actually suffered a loss from Shangguan Yu.

  It let out a low bellow and charged at Shangguan Yu once again. This time, the Fire Ox's charging speed was even faster. Its current speed was at least twice as fast as before, clearly indicating that the Fire Ox had not been using its full strength previously.

  Dangerously flashing, the Fire Ox charged again, and then "Fire Lotus Exploding Flame Fist" landed on its body. Two fire lotuses hit the Fire Ox's body, causing it to pause slightly. The Fire Ox had given it its all, and so had Yu Fei naturally.

  The bull's nostrils puffed out thick gas, and it charged at Shangguan Yu again. Shangguan Yu rushed up once more, still the same as before. With a simple turn in mid-air, he sat on the bull's back. Even if the bull wanted to dodge, it couldn't stop under such high-speed charging.

  When Shangguan Yu rode on the back of Huo Niu, strangely, Huo Niu's running speed did not decrease but increased. Shangguan Yu thought that Huo Niu would stop and then throw him to the ground again, so he had to jump down once more.

  It turned out that the same trick couldn't be used twice, even if the opponent was a cow. When Shangguan Yu rode on top of the fire cow, a large amount of flames suddenly burst forth from its body. The clothes on Shangguan Yu's body caught fire immediately, and he himself couldn't withstand so many flames, so he quickly jumped off.

  This time, Officer Yu finally knew why the fire cow ran so fast. The faster the fire cow ran, the heavier it fell. He lay on the ground, his whole body aching from the fall, and at the same time, the fire cow also gradually stopped its charging hooves.

  "My goodness! It's really a cunning cow, it's so shameless. Alas, I can only blame myself for being too careless. I actually forgot that the Fire Cow is a magical beast and it still hasn't used its magic yet."

  The fire cow didn't give Shangguan Yu any time to prepare, and when it saw Shangguan Yu lying on the ground, it suddenly charged over. If Shangguan Yu hadn't gotten up, it would have directly trampled him to death. If Shangguan Yu had stood up, there wouldn't have been enough time, so it could have directly knocked him to death. Of course, this was just what the fire cow was thinking.

  Shangguan Yu's fists punched the ground, and he suddenly jumped up from the ground. At this critical moment, Xiaoyi used his technique again. This time, Xiaoyi's technique didn't have any attacking power because it was aimed at himself. It was precisely this move that sent him flying to the side.

  Huoniu saw that this charge was still ineffective, so he roared violently. After charging for so long, even Huoniui felt tired. He walked towards Shangguan Yu, since the charge didn't work, they could only fight head-on now.

  Looking at the approaching Fire Ox, Shangguan Yu also knew that the Fire Ox probably didn't have the strength to charge anymore. He too walked towards the Fire Ox, the Fire Ox's skin was thick and tough, wanting to defeat the Fire Ox wasn't an easy task. Unless it was a crucial moment, he didn't want to use the You Long Spear.

  Shangguan Yu and Huoniu stood face to face, he was also ready to make a move. But immediately after that, he had to scold Huoniu's shamelessness, while also scolding his own foolishness.

  The fire ox suddenly opened its mouth, and a flame shot out of its mouth, forming a long pillar of fire. As Shangguan Yu was so close to it, he was naturally enveloped by the flames.
