The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chi Miao never underestimated Niu Niu from the beginning. This thing was not only a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, but also possessed the bloodline of the "Sky-Moving Bull," making it no ordinary bull.

But when Niu Niu kicked the ground, shattering the earth and creating a sonic boom, rushing towards Chi Miao at an almost instantaneous speed, Chi Miao couldn't help but sigh.

"So fast!"

This is absolutely the most agile cow she has ever seen in her life!

but……

Chi Miao narrowed his eyes, and his entire body transformed into a cloud of red mist.

Niu Niu is extremely fast, but its fatal flaw is that it cannot turn.

The moment he crashed into the blood mist, the mist dissipated, and behind it was actually the palace wall!

Boom!!

The moment its horns struck the palace wall, a tremendous sound was heard, stone chips fell to the ground, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble.

This seemingly simple collision possessed such power!

Chi Miao appeared behind it, his expression clearly more excited.

"Not bad, even more impressive than I imagined."

Even the parrots nearby were stunned: "Mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, actually managed to dodge Niu Niu's attack... This is the first one!"

Because of his limited intelligence, Niu Niu couldn't learn complex skills, so he practiced basic skills from a young age, day after day...

His impact speed was beyond the reach of the naked eye for those at the same level.

Chi Miao's easy evasion left even it feeling a sense of awe.

Niu Niu finally managed to pull its horns out, let out a loud "moo," and pawed at Chi Miao with its eyes red.

Seeing this, Chi Miao took out his sword, cut off a section of his red robe, and transformed it into a bullfighting cloth, shouting, "Come on! Good bullfighting! Continue!"

Niu Niu roared in fury: "Moo!"

How dare you tease a cow!

You'll regret it if you go to the cow!

Having said that, it charged straight at Chi Miao!

Just before being hit, Chi Miao was completely reduced to a bloody mist, leaving only the red fabric behind.

With a thud, the fabric fluttered, and Chi Miao reappeared in another direction.

Niu Niu charges! Miao Miao dodges!

Niu Niu charges again! Miao Miao dodges again!

After several blows, Niu Niu's horns were almost smashed.

Niu Niu is devastated!

Chi Miao then exclaimed, "Curtain call!"

A sacred golden light of merit suddenly rose behind her.

In that instant, Niu Niu's four legs knelt down, and the one next to him fell from mid-air. The two demons who fell to the side, even though they were half-dead from being pushed, still couldn't help but kneel up under the light of merit.

Chi Miao flicked the red cloth and bent down slightly.

Gou Shi System: "You've become handsome again, sister."

The parrot was so shocked that its beak gaped open: "It's the golden light of merit! It's the golden light of merit! The legendary golden light of merit!"

Chi Miao's name was already well-known in Miaohua Continent, and the Golden Light of Merit was one of her main methods, which allowed her to completely crush all others of the same level!

Once she pulled this tactic, even Niu Niu couldn't do anything about it.

Chi Miao turned to look at everyone, momentarily stunned: "How can you, a cow, have square shoulders?"

For a moment, the whole world seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

The parrot was so frightened that its beak gaped open and its tongue began to tremble.

"It's over! It's over! It's over!"

This is the second time I've used a taboo word!

In fact, before the Bull King showed his prowess, the Great Horned Bull tribe had always been regarded as a low-level race.

Therefore, when ordinary cultivators encountered the Bull King and the calves, they discovered that these bighorn bulls actually possessed intelligence and could cultivate! So they tried various methods to tame them as mounts.

Of course, that alone would not be enough to break their defenses.

Rumor has it that before the Bull King reached the Tribulation stage, he and Little Bull ventured into a secret realm and were brutally beaten by a powerful figure, leaving him unable to use his spiritual power for three whole years.

A woman named Xiaoying found them unconscious and took them home to raise them.

Even so, Xiao Ying did not treat them well, feeding them only swill! She didn't even shovel cow dung!

They want to die but can't, they want to live but can't live well, and they've all gotten so thin they have square shoulders!

For three years...for three years they didn't even eat grass!

After they regained their spiritual power, they almost killed Xiao Ying!

But... Xiao Ying had protected them for three years, and they couldn't repay kindness with enmity. They could only swallow their anger and leave quietly.

Since that incident, they have been extra wary of words like "raising" and "mounting," and anyone who says them will die!

This time, the aura of the Bull Bull Golden Elixir reappeared, and a nine-patterned Golden Elixir with a pattern of a giant bull moving the sky reappeared.

The pattern flashed with the light of lava, continuously expanding.

Niu Niu roared, "Moo!!!"

The roar shattered the surrounding rocks, causing the area to collapse. The rubble shook and coalesced, gradually merging and expanding!

The spiritual energy transformed into a scorching heatwave, impacting all directions with each tremor, causing the temperature to surge.

After several tremors, the demons kneeling on the ground were roasted to a meaty aroma.

They awoke, weeping bitterly:

"No...please, please let us go! What did we do wrong?!"

All they did was comment on the cow's "right-angled shoulders"? They wanted to try the charcoal-grilled beef bones.

They were just talking, but the cow beat them up badly, leaving them barely alive and still roasting them.

Did they deserve divine retribution for saying that? That's outrageous!

The lava ball that Niu Niu condensed grew larger and larger. With a roar, his golden core flashed and crashed down on Chi Miao, transforming the heavens and earth.

The parrot squawked, "Hmph! Miss Chi Miao, get out of the way!"

This move would seriously injure even a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone someone like Miss Chi Miao who is in the mid-Golden Core stage.

Even the first Golden Core cultivator in history would be crippled if he didn't die!

However, Chi Miao just stared blankly as the lava hurtled towards him: "I won't dodge."

Parrot: "Why don't you avoid it?"

Chi Miao: "Because I'm not afraid!"

Parrot: "Why aren't you afraid?"

Chi Miao: "I'm not afraid! I'm just not afraid!"

The two demons nearby, seeing this, quickly discovered the blind spot.

That person is Chi Miao?

Is this cow going to kill Chi Miao now?

That's great! They can secretly collect some of Chi Miao's corpse and take it back to the great demons to claim credit!

Chi Miao's head is worth a lot of money now; he's number one on the Demon Clan's bounty list!

Not only the demons, but other races also secretly have high prices for Chi Miao.

When the time comes, they can collect the bounty on Chi Miao's body parts piece by piece. Even if they don't get any opportunities in Tianbei Cave, they can still gain a lot!

That's when they think that way.

The world has been transformed, and Chi Miao is now just an arm's length away from it!

Chi Miao smiled, and a golden elixir with azure patterns rose up behind her.

She spoke, word by word:

"Mysterious Heavenly True Martial, awe-inspiring to all spirits!"

—Author's Note—

"Mysterious Heavenly Martial, Awe-inspiring to All Spirits" is a line from the ultimate skill of the character Wei Qing in the game *Naraka: Bladepoint*. (Yes, I'm a game critic.)
