Chapter 1278 Unlucky Mavica
As dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon the land of Nata.
The sounds of cattle and sheep that would normally fill the air at this time of day are nowhere to be heard today, leaving only a depressing silence.
Perhaps the cattle and sheep also sensed that today was unusual.
Shao Yun, Dainesreb, and Skirk were already standing at the entrance of the ranch, fully prepared and waiting for the arrival of the Extreme Riders.
Shao Yun was wearing the "Legend of Apocalypse" outfit, the hem of which fluttered gently in the morning breeze.
Dainesreb and Skirk stood on either side of him, awaiting the arrival of the Extreme Rider.
Suddenly, an unusual black dot appeared in the sky and began to move slowly.
“They’re here,” Daines Reb said first.
The two looked up and saw the black dot of light in the sky approaching at an extremely fast speed, getting closer and closer, and clearer and clearer.
At first it was just a blurry black dot, but in the blink of an eye it transformed into a black meteor, swooping down toward the ranch gate with a piercing whooshing sound.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the Extreme Evil Rider crashed heavily onto the open ground at the entrance of the ranch like a cannonball, sending rubble and dust billowing into the sky and spreading in all directions.
The wooden fence of the pasture was nearly blown away by the shockwave, and the cattle and sheep in the distance stirred in alarm, but the mother goat calmed the commotion with just a glance.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a deep and oppressive voice rang out.
"Hi, I'm back."
The towering figure of the Evil Knight appeared before the ranch, his entire body shrouded in black armor, from which a faint abyssal energy seeped, like a demon from hell.
Shao Yun adjusted his wide-brimmed hat, raised his chin, and said calmly, "Hello, Extreme Evil Rider. We've been waiting for you for a long time."
Instead of responding to Shao Yun immediately, the Evil Knight turned his gaze to the side and pretended to reminisce with his long-lost apprentice.
"Skirk, how is your injury healing?"
Silky looked at him, her eyes filled with undisguised hostility, and spoke in an icy tone.
"Much better, enough for me to deal with you myself."
The Extreme Rider ignored her hostility and then turned his gaze to Daines Reeb to greet his old friend.
"Dain, it's been a long time. We haven't seen each other since the fall of Kanria, have we?"
Dainesreb also disliked him, drew his weapon, pointed it at Surtroch, and said:
"Surtroch, it's time to settle this!"
When the Extreme Evil Knight heard Dainsley's hateful declaration, he didn't even look at Dainsley.
He averted his gaze, completely ignoring Dayin who was pointing his sword at him, and turned all his attention back to Shao Yun, condescendingly trying to win him over:
"Are you sure you don't want to come with me to conquer the universe? We're capable of sweeping through all the galaxies and becoming the rulers of the universe."
Shao Yun drew his cowboy revolver (Goat's Blessing) from his waist and aimed it at the Extreme Evil Rider, replying, "I think we've now proven my stance."
“I have no interest in conquering the universe. Your so-called ‘conquest’ is worthless in my eyes.”
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, the Extreme Evil Rider let out a cold laugh and mocked, "What a pity. But are you sure? I have found a very good maid for you."
"Are you sure you don't want to change your mind and come with me?"
Before he could finish speaking, the Extreme Evil Rider suddenly raised his right hand and slashed it sharply into the void beside him.
Space cracked open like shattered glass, and then he reached in and, as if grabbing a chick, forcefully pulled a figure out of the spatial rift.
She was a woman wearing a black leather motorcycle jumpsuit, her long, fiery red hair plastered messily to her face, making her look extremely disheveled.
Upon closer inspection, traces of blood remained at the corner of her mouth, her leather jacket was torn in several places, revealing purplish-blue wounds underneath, and a clear red and blue handprint was imprinted on her left cheek.
This person was none other than Mavica, whom Shao Yun had not seen for a long time!
No one knows when Mavica was captured by the Evil Knight. After all, with his ability to manipulate space, it would be incredibly easy for him to abduct someone without anyone noticing.
At this moment, Mavica was being tightly gripped by the neck by the evil rider, her feet were off the ground, her face was flushed red, but she still refused to submit.
She glared at the vicious rider, gritting her teeth and roaring, "You son of a bitch, let me go if you dare! I'll take you down with me!"
When Shao Yun saw Mavica being held captive by the extremely vicious riders, his pupils suddenly contracted, his grip on the gun tightened involuntarily, and his brows furrowed.
"Mavika? What are you doing, Extreme Evil Knight?" Shao Yun said, sheathing his weapon.
Extreme Evil Knight casually poked Mavica's cheek with his finger, as if examining a toy that could be discarded at any time.
He completely ignored Mavica's angry glare and muttered to himself:
"Nothing much. I was just wandering around the area yesterday when I saw this woman strolling in the wild. I thought she looked alright, so I just grabbed her."
"I was thinking that if you chose to conquer the world with me, and considering that you would need someone to serve you, she would be a good fit."
"Look, isn't this better than those ordinary women in your family? I'm so thoughtful, and you don't even appreciate it."
He paused, then deliberately tightened his grip on Mavica's neck, finding even greater pleasure in watching her agonize as she suffocated.
"What a pity, you won't get to enjoy this 'kindness'. Since you refuse to submit, there's no point in keeping this woman around."
"Why don't we kill her now and give our battle a good start?"
Mavica's face had turned somewhat purple from holding her breath, and her angry roars gradually turned into weak gasps as her consciousness began to blur.
Even so, she still glared at the vicious rider, mumbling a few harsh words.
"You son of a bitch... If you have the guts, let me go... I'll beat you to death..."
The extremely evil rider's eyes turned cold, and he slammed his left thumb down on Mavica's vocal cords.
The intense pain made Mavica shudder, and her already faint voice was instantly cut off, leaving only soft whimpers.
The extremely evil rider leaned close to her ear and said coldly, "Shut up! I don't have the patience to waste words with you. If you dare to yell again, I won't hesitate to turn you into a mute who can never speak again."
Seeing that Mavica's condition was deteriorating, Shao Yun knew that he could not continue the stalemate with the Extreme Evil Riders. If it dragged on any longer, Mavica might really lose her life.
"Speak up, what exactly do you want? How can you release Mavica? Stop pretending and just state your terms!"
Seeing that Shao Yun had finally given in, the extremely vicious rider released his thumb from Mavica's vocal cords, but still held her neck tightly to prevent her from making any more noise.
"I'm not going to fight you here. I know your trump card."
He thought he had seen through Shao Yun's thoughts and believed that the Apocalypse Horse, which could control the aura of death, could only move within the ranch area and was a "fixed defense" that Shao Yun used to protect his home.
After all, in his view, such a powerful protective force would inevitably be limited by territory. However, he did not know that Shao Yun left "death" on the ranch only because he was worried about Ying and Bao Bao's safety and wanted to leave an insurance policy, rather than because "death" itself could not leave the ranch.
"So, in order to satisfy my fighting desire, and also to allow you to unleash your full power without any reservations, I want to fight you somewhere else."
"Let's get away from this ranch and go somewhere open so we can have a proper showdown."
Shao Yun breathed a sigh of relief; he had never intended to fight the Extreme Evil Riders on the ranch.
The ranch has Ying, Baobao, Shenhe, Ningguang, and the others. Once the battle starts, they can easily be affected.
The Extreme Evil Riders' suggestion to change battlefields suited his wishes perfectly and aligned with Shao Yun's plan.
"No problem. Where do you want to go? As long as you can release Mavica and get away from the ranch, you can fight anywhere."
After receiving Shao Yun's affirmative answer, the cruel smile on Ji Eqi's face intensified.
He suddenly loosened his grip on Mavica's neck, tossing her towards Shao Yun like a useless piece of broken wood.
Because of the terrible torture she had endured, Mavica's body fell uncontrollably toward the ground. Her long hair was disheveled by the wind, and there were still red marks on her face from being pinched. She looked utterly wretched.
The extremely vicious rider showed no mercy whatsoever to the woman from beginning to end.
After all, for someone like him who has long abandoned humanity and regards all living beings in the universe as ants, human life is cheaper than sand on the roadside.
Moreover, the extremely wicked riders were not worried that Shao Yun would go back on his word.
Shao Yun might as well stay on the ranch and roam freely in Nata, then see who loses their temper first.
Then, the energy around the Extreme Evil Rider suddenly surged, and with a light push off the ground, his body soared into the clouds and disappeared.
Just as Mavica was about to crash heavily to the ground, Skirk flashed and instantly appeared below her.
She reached out and caught Mavica steadily, then gently pulled her to the ground to cushion the impact of the fall, safely bringing Mavica to the ground.
After landing, Mavica's legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.
She leaned against the wooden fence beside her, breathing in large gulps of fresh air, her chest heaving violently.
After a long while, her complexion slowly returned to normal, but the hatred in her eyes remained undiminished. Staring in the direction where the ruthless rider had disappeared, she gritted her teeth and said:
"Thanks... I'll take care of this guy sooner or later."
Dainesreb watched the monstrous rider disappear into the clouds, and muttered in a low voice:
"It seems that the Evil Knight really believes that the Apocalypse Horse that stayed on the ranch to protect your family is 'dead' and cannot leave the ranch area."
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun shrugged and said with a rather helpless tone, "I won't gamble with the safety of my wife and baby."
"Who knows if Alice is watching me from the shadows? What if I bring out 'Death' and she takes the opportunity to attack the ranch? I won't even have a chance to regret it then."
Although Shao Yun always said, "Alice wouldn't be that stupid, she wouldn't do something that harms others without benefiting herself," Wendy's incident still left a shadow in his heart.
As the saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy," it's always wise to be prepared for anything, especially in a crucial battle like this.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun turned to look at Daines Reeb and Skyker, and instructed them:
"Dain, Skykirk, proceed to the Kingdom of Night now, according to the plan we discussed earlier."
