Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1260 The Extremely Evil Riders Who Came Back for a Surprise Attack

Yuan Shang pulled Shao Yun aside and recounted in rapid succession what had happened during his herding period.

From the moment Skirk crashed down from the sky and created a huge crater, to the terrifying pressure of the appearance of the Evil Knight, to Shenhe and Ningguang joining forces to resist, and finally the appearance of the Apocalypse Horse forcing the Evil Knight back, the whole story was told vividly from beginning to end, even including the detail of being punched away.

As Shao Yun listened, he looked in the direction Yuan Shang pointed and saw the large pit in the courtyard.

After hearing the whole story, he breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, we left the 'Death' horse near the ranch to guard the house, otherwise our home would have been raided today, and the whole family would probably be in grave danger.

He patted Yuan Shang on the shoulder and comforted him, "You've worked hard. It's amazing that you managed to withstand another blow. You're quite resilient."

Then, changing the subject, he recalled the mention of Skykirk by Yuan Shang and asked, "I see. What about Skykirk? How is she now?"

Yuan Shang immediately pointed to the living room, his tone somewhat complicated: "She's on the sofa in the living room. Ning Guang has already given her a bath and settled her in."

Shao Yun nodded and stepped into the living room.

As soon as I entered, I saw Silky leaning on the sofa, her light lavender hair still damp and hanging over her shoulders. Her complexion was still not very good, but she looked more energetic than when she was in the pit.

Noticing someone enter, Skirk looked up and her gaze fell on Shao Yun.

Her expression still carried a cold and aloof air, but her tone had softened considerably, even revealing a barely perceptible sense of guilt.

"sorry."

Shao Yun was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, he heard Skykirk continue, "I shouldn't have met you in Liyue... I shouldn't have met you in Liyue."

"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, clearly blaming the responsibility for the extreme evil riders coming to her door on the fact that she had taken the initiative to meet with Shao Yun in the first place.

Looking at her like this, Shao Yun didn't feel much resentment at being "brought in a wolf," but was more concerned about her missing limbs.

He walked over to the sofa and sat down, his gaze falling on her empty limbs, and he raised his chin.

"Skirk? You... this was made by the Extreme Evil Knight?"

Skirk followed his gaze to her severed limbs, her face showing little emotion, only a helpless shake of her head. For her, worrying about her hands and feet was pointless at this point.

Her handprints are made of abyssal power, and given enough time and power, they can always be reformed. Right now, the most important thing is the threat from the Evil Knights.

“Now is not the time to think about me.” Skirk raised her head, her eyes becoming serious, and suggested, “My master, ‘Extreme Evil Rider,’ has returned. He is more dangerous than you think, having destroyed countless small worlds in the past five hundred years.”

"You are no match for him. While he is temporarily retreating, you should quickly take Ningguang, Shenhe, and Baobao and run away as far as possible!"

She paused, then added, "He only left today because he was intimidated by the guards you deployed, but given his personality, he will definitely not let this go."

“Once he recovers from his injuries, or finds a way to deal with the guards, he will definitely come back. At that time, even if the guards are still there, you may not be able to escape unscathed.”

After listening to Silky's description of the Extreme Evil Riders, Shao Yun showed no sign of tension; instead, he had the leisure to make a joke.

"Extreme Evil Knight? Oh, I remember now. Dain mentioned to me before that there were five guys who were sucking my brother-in-law (Kong) dry like a 'storage tank of Abyss Power'? Your master wouldn't happen to be one of them, would he?"

Upon hearing this, even Skykirk, who had been immersed in worry, was stunned. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and retort, "If what you mean by 'absorb' is plundering the power of the abyss, then that's true..."

"But you still have the mind to talk about such abstract topics? You're too carefree, aren't you?" She really didn't expect that Shao Yun could still laugh at a time like this.

Shao Yun ignored her complaints, changed the subject, and looked out the window at the large pit in the yard, then asked:

"Let's not talk about that... So that crater in front of my house, was it caused by your master throwing you down there? I thought the ranch was hit by a meteorite."

Following his gaze, Skirk looked out the window, nodded slightly, and calmly recounted the whole story.

"It was when I was thrown down that I was hit. I was cultivating in the secret realm when my master suddenly appeared and tore off my limbs without saying a word."

"He pressed me to tell him if I had discovered anything interesting."

She paused, then said with a helpless expression, "I said no, but he didn't believe me. He said I was lying and that I was 'wasting my time'."

"Then he grabbed me, appeared in Nata, and threw me right off the sky... That's roughly what happened."

Shao Yun stroked his chin, thoughtfully uttered an "Oh," and was about to say something more when a familiar yet alarming voice suddenly came from outside.

The voice carried a hint of deliberate "politeness," yet it couldn't conceal the arrogance in its bones.

"Hello, is the ranch owner back yet? We have 'guests' visiting!"

That's an extremely vicious rider!

The moment Silky heard the voice, her face turned pale, and her body, which had been leaning against the sofa, tensed up abruptly.

"Oh no! How come he's back so soon? Wasn't he supposed to wait a while?"

She had no idea that the extremely vicious rider would turn back to the ranch in less than half a day.

Shao Yun's smile faded, but his eyes remained calm. He patted Silky's shoulder and reassured her, "Calm down, it's too late to run now."

"Since he dared to come back, he must have been keeping an eye on the ranch for a while now. There's nowhere for us to run now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately stood up and quickly instructed Yuan Shang and Ning Guang, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, "Yuan Shang, quickly take Silky to the nursery and meet up with Shen He. Keep an eye on the baby and don't let him come out no matter what happens outside."

"Ningguang, go to the kitchen and cook. Pretend nothing happened and don't give anything away... Let's be 'polite' for now and see what he's up to."

He paused, then added, "I'm going to change into something decent. I can't meet 'guests' in my herding clothes. Leave the reception to me; don't make any rash moves."

Although Yuan Shang and Ning Guang were nervous, seeing Shao Yun's calm demeanor gradually calmed them down.

Yuan Shang immediately stepped forward, carefully picked up Silky, and quickly walked towards the nursery.

Ningguang straightened her clothes, turned and walked towards the kitchen. Soon, the sounds of rinsing rice and chopping vegetables could be heard, as she pretended to be enjoying a peaceful life.

……

Following Shao Yun's orders, everyone proceeded in an orderly manner and left the living room.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Shao Yun opened the system interface that he hadn't used in ages and changed into his "Legend of Apocalypse" outfit, using his strongest form to deal with one of the five sinners of Canria that Dain had mentioned.

After closing the system interface, Shao Yun took a deep breath and walked towards the door.

As soon as he pushed open the door, his gaze fell on the entrance to the ranch.

The extremely vicious rider was standing there, holding the hind leg of a "brown deer," a native species of Nata, in his left hand. The deer's body was still very fresh, obviously having just been hunted.

At this moment, he was no longer as arrogant and aggressive as he had been that morning. He simply stood quietly outside the door waiting, without taking a single step into the ranch.

"Who are you?" Shao Yun asked the extremely vicious rider in front of him, demanding that he state his name.

The Extreme Evil Knight's gaze fell on Shao Yun's "Legend of Apocalypse" armor set, and his eyes narrowed slightly beneath the black armor.

He instantly realized that the person in front of him was the ranch owner he was looking for, and the only one who could pique his interest.

To show the respect due to the strong, the extremely arrogant rider set aside all his arrogance and patiently greeted him: "Hello, are you the owner of this ranch?"

Seeing that the other party had inquired about his identity first and hadn't directly confronted him, Shao Yun raised his chin and said calmly, "Introducing yourself before asking questions is basic courtesy, isn't it?"

Normally, if anyone dared to speak to Extreme Evil Rider in that tone, he would have punched them into a pulp long ago.

But faced with the power emanating from Shao Yun that was no less than his own, he chose to restrain his temper.

The strong have their own way of being treated; only those of equal strength deserve their respect.

“Okay.” The Evil Knight showed no dissatisfaction and calmly introduced himself, “You can call me the Evil Knight.”

Then, he raised the brown deer he was holding in his left hand, shook the prey in his hand, and said frankly, "When I visited before, I was not welcomed because of some misunderstandings, and I also disturbed your family. I was presumptuous."

He paused, then handed the brown deer forward.

"This is my freshly hunted prey, a gift from me. What do you think? Do I qualify as a proper guest now?"

Shao Yun looked at the brown deer in the hands of the Extreme Evil Rider, waved to him, and softened his tone slightly.

"That's right, I am the male owner of this ranch."

"Please come in because of this gift. But remember, this is my home, and you are a guest. I will set the rules."

Upon hearing this, the extremely wicked rider casually tossed the several-hundred-pound brown deer into the "dragon's den" next to the ranch entrance.

"Great!" Extreme Evil Rider couldn't help but exclaim in praise, and strode towards the ranch.

"I enjoy dealing with straightforward people like you; you're much more interesting than those guys who just hide behind the scenes and play tricks!"
