Chapter 42: Killing the Ox and Dancing_3
While enjoying the bullfight on one side and the dance on the other, Tang Xian felt it was double the pleasure.
He was very happy.
Dong Ran was also very happy.
Every beautiful woman is a born dancer, she had never imagined that one day she would be using such graceful steps to deal with a perfect creature.
Tang was really amazing, such dance steps, he must not have tried them before, right? To have such powerful calculation ability, to ensure the ideal effect in practice?
Even calculating Yi Niu's every move, such collisions had already happened for the seventh time, Dong Ran felt no depletion of energy, even if she occasionally needed to stop and deliver two Palm Strikes.
Yi Niu's health in her eyes decreased very little. As a human, her attack power was only under three hundred. When hitting Yi Niu, some of that would be canceled out by its defensive power.
She also had to calculate Yi Niu's health regeneration speed. Although she couldn't see this option, occasionally Yi Niu's health would recover some.
The numbers were irregular, hard to calculate, seemingly related to the current stamina, which was variable.
In short, Yi Niu's life was hard to reduce, but indeed, it was being whittled away bit by bit.
About half an hour later, Yi Niu's speed and stamina had decreased somewhat, Dong Ran could even see the defensive power had decreased, the original one hundred and fifty defensive power had actually dropped to one hundred and thirty.
Even the health didn't continue to recover.
"Get ready to change your steps, it will now attempt a counter, you need to keep cycling between the third and fourth steps. Clockwise."
Dong Ran just nodded slightly.
As expected, just as Tang Xian had said, Yi Niu seemingly realized its charges were ineffective, and began to constantly attack Dong Ran with its tail and hind kicks.
Dong Ran, following Tang Xian's instructions, evaded easily with the third and fourth dance steps, especially when diagonally facing Yi Niu's flank, she could comfortably land blows on Yi Niu's abdomen.
Another half an hour passed.
Yi Niu's speed noticeably slowed down a lot, the hind kick's speed slowed, giving Dong Ran more reaction time.
Tang Xian spoke, "Okay, now you can improvise. Face it using the first and second dance steps, the side third and fourth, just remember that. Your Gust Palm should hit the same spot every time."
...
...
One hour later, Yi Niu was lying on the ground, gasping for breath. Its abdomen had been struck with a terrifying wound, its strength nearly exhausted, and a certain luster in its eyes was dimming by the minute.
Tang Xian squatted in the distance, watching Yi Niu.
Yet suddenly, he heard Yi Niu's voice in his sea of consciousness.
"Why would an existence like you scheme against me? Why would you exhaust me in such a way, despicable being!"
Tang Xian laughed, this bull was really interesting. He squatted down and said,
"Who would want to eat beef that's been running around for a whole day and night, huh? Who wants to kill a cow and then have to hop and skip for two hours, huh? You think I like this? If I could slaughter you with one cut, would I bother with this? As a top-level ingredient evolving into this impervious state, is this something a normal bull should do?

Do you have any of the awareness a bull should have?"
Yi Niu was stunned, it had never encountered such an unreasonable person in its bovine life, this person actually wanted to eat it? And complained that it was too tough to consume?
Tang Xian had a way to kill Yi Niu outright, after all, with a single burst of foxfire from Tang Xiaojiu, the steak would be cooked medium-well.
But the way Tang Xian preferred to prepare beef was to slow cook it until tender, and then pair it with potatoes cooked into a curry.
As for how to eat it, Tang Xian didn't want to think too much about that at the moment, he had more troublesome matters to attend to.
Like how to gut this bull.
