Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince - Chapter 613: Lightning Burns The Forest

Even though the attack was very sudden, Ye Tian Yun didn’t delay anything and went straight for an attack.

He pulled out two long swords from his spatial rings and directly hacked the four ambushers into two pieces, each.

Then gazing at the incoming thousands of arrows, Ye Tian Yun put the duel swords in his pocket and then, taking a different sword, he got ready.

Taking a light breath, he jumped from his horse.

He was about to meet the arrow rain head-on!

“One Sword…” As Ye  Tian Yun spoke, lightning sparks went off around the sword, and moving the sword backward, he collected energy in the move and, in the next instant, slashed his sword towards the raining arrow, “…for all!”

BOOM!

A huge explosion went off, and the sky suddenly turned black.

Clouds appeared out of nowhere, a bolt of yellow-black lightning suddenly struck the land.

BOOM!

Before anyone on the land could react, the whole forest caught fire.

As for the arrows, they had long turned into ash!

Lightning covered Ye Tian Yun as he flew in the air, and with another slash on the ground at the people below, he put the final nail on their coffin.

BAM!

After a few moments, Ye Tian Yun landed on the place.

Lightning had destroyed everything around him because of his sudden outburst of Sword Domain.

The whole area was filled with more than a hundred charred bodies, and everything was destroyed – as if there had been a huge explosion here.

The black lightning slowly disappeared, and Ye Tian Yun soon returned to normal.

Looking around, he sighed.

While everything was destroyed, his Golden Ferghana had become a casualty too.

Just lying a few feet away from him was the charred body of his horse.

‘Ah, shit…’

Ye Tian Yun sighed.

But right now, he can’t waste his time feeling down. He immediately spread out his senses and tried to see if anyone from the enemy survived the onslaught.

“Hm? There is one?” Ye Tian Yun smiled at this.

He immediately moved and threw a knife at the palm of one of the ambushers who was trying to stand up.

“Argh!”

He winced in pain as the knife nailed his arm to the tree he was leaning on.

The attacker turned towards the direction from which the knife had come and taken deep breaths out of fear and a very bad premonition.

“Wh…who are you?” He could barely speak. After all, it had taken only one second for the whole situation to turn around.

Just a moment ago, they were waiting for the commander to give a signal, but before the arrows could even descend, their whole platoon was destroyed, and all of them suddenly died.

‘This bastard… this is not Fang Chen…. He even killed his own party!’

The man didn’t hesitate anymore, but somewhere in his heart, he knew there was no escape from this situation.

‘Fuck, why did I accept such a mission…’

Just then, he felt a shadow looming over him, and upon raising his head, he found one of his two targets – Fang Chen, standing in front of him with his hands behind his back.

‘I didn’t even sense him!’ The man was even more terrified.

‘I am at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but I couldn’t even sense his presence!’

The man didn’t even have the strength to look in the eyes of the young man in front of him.

He was utterly and completely terrified.

“Who sent you?” Ye Tian Yun asked him.

It didn’t take long for Ye Tian Yun to understand that there was someone else behind this ambush because the whole attack was much more organized, and even the weapons and some of the clothes were new – a clear sign that this raid was their first in these clothes.

Bandits don’t worry about changing their clothes. There’s no way these people were simple bandits.

The man who was nailed to the tree knew there was no way for him to escape, so he decided to speak the truth.

“I am from the Ling Clan.” He said.

Ye Tian Yun raised his eyebrow, “Oh? And why are you attacking us?”

“Our Clan Head ordered us. Our target was Gao Xuan and You. I noticed something amiss in your party, but before I could react, all this happened.”

Ye Tian Yun smiled, “Hm, and why is Ling Clan targeting Gao Xuan?”

“They… don’t want an alliance between the Gao Clan and Fang Clan.” The man gritted his teeth, “They want to frame this on the Xin Clan and try to show that it’s the Crown Prince who did this, just like last year.”

“Hm? Just like last year?” Ye Tian Yun frowned.

“Yes…” The man sighed, “Last year we orchestrated the assassination of Gao Xuan and framed it on the Princess Xin Xue Qing, however, somehow Gao Xuan survived, So now, we’re trying it again, and this assassination, if successful, would bring a civil war in the kingdom.”

Ye Tian Yun nodded, “Indeed, this will create a lot of trouble. But what’s with you? Why are you easily telling me everything?”

The man smiled, “Whatever I say, you won’t believe me, so I just spoke the truth. It’s not like I will be able to get out of here alive and go back to my young daughter and wife. Anyway, you have completed half of my mission because you also killed your friends along with my people.

Ye Tian Yun sighed, “There were some sacrifices I was always willing to make.”

The man sighed, “You’re much crueler than I would have ever imagined.”

Ye Tian Yun smiled, “Nah, you haven’t seen anything yet.”

Just then –

“Is this the truth!?” A young man’s shocked voice came from behind.

It was Gao Suyin, disguised as Gao Xuan.

Ye Tian Yun turned around, and the injured man also gazed at the far ahead.

“Is it true that it’s the Ling Clan behind all this!?” Gao Suyin’s anger was about to explode.

As for the injured man, he looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Because in front of him were not only Gao Suyin but everyone from Fang Chen’s party – unscathed.

And in the background was the burning forest.
