Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Even when you were at your peak today, I would still need a snap of my finger to defeat you." Wang Yao smiled.

Ye Tian Yun gritted his teeth and tried for one more attack, "One Sword For Al- ugh!"

He suddenly felt a jerk on his stomach and was thrown backward.

Wang Yao had appeared at his place and had kicked him back to the ground.

Tightly gripping his sword and putting his body weight on it to balance, Ye Tian Yun slowly stood up while looking for an opening.

Wang Yao shook his head seeing this, "Ye Tian Yun, it's just been a few months, and your bones have become rusty. I am only a peak Qi Stabilization Realm cultivator right now, yet you're powerless in front of me."

Ye Tian Yun frowned at him. 

Indeed Wang Yao was a Peak Qi Stabilization Realm cultivator,  which was just two levels above him. However, the power difference was somehow too huge.

Ye Tian Yun asked, "How can you have the same cultivation as me? Last time I saw you, you were a half saint."

Wang Yao shrugged, "Well, coming back in the timeline has its repercussions. Unfortunately for you, only my cultivation realm is suppressed."

Ye Tian Yun let out a long breath and changed his swords in an instant. 

Wang Yao shook his head, "It's no use. Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun, you're just a little sheep in front of me now."

This small exchange alarmed Peak Master Duan and Yuan Shuchun.

Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun!

In the Middle Heavens, before a kid even learned to walk and talk, they would have already heard of his name.

Ye Tian Yun was a household name.

But they didn't understand what was going on.

No matter what be the case, Peak Master Duan understood that now his priorities had to be adjusted!

Just as Wang Yao was about to move for another attack, Peak Master Duan jumped right between him and Ye Tian Yun.

"Hm? Do you really want to die this sooner? Didn't I say I am feeling generous today and will let you leave this city?" Wang Yao asked with an expressionless face.

Peak Master Duan gritted his teeth, "I serve Sword Saint Yuan Xuming."

"Oh? So Yuan Xuming and Emperor Ye were friends way before anyone could have thought." Wang  Yao frowned.

It was clear that Peak Master Duan was trying to protect Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun after knowing his identity, and his actions were a representation of Sword Saint Yuan Xuming's will.

Him protecting Ye Tia Yun meant that Sword Saint Yuan Xuming and Emperor Ye were actually close friends!

This was news for Wang Yao, because to the public, they had always acted as if both hated each other's guts but couldn't kill the other one because of almost equal strengths.

However, Wang Yao no longer cared much about this fact.

In his timeline, both Emperor Ye and Sword Saint Yuan Xuming were now ghosts of the past. 

"Duan Ming, oh Duan Ming, don't you wish to keep your young miss safe?" Wang Yao shook his head, "The only reason why you both are still alive is out of respect for Xiao Ming, or else I would have cleaned the side dishes before getting to the main buffet."

"Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun has the same status as Miss Yuan - I will not abandon one for the other." Peak Master Duan immediately replied and gestured to Yuan Shuchun to come to him.

Yuan Shuchun looked at unconscious Xiao Ming and reluctantly came towards Peak Master Duan.

Behind them, Ye Tian Yun was very confused by this turn of events.

'Since when my father and her father were friends?'

He never knew about this matter… not even once.

'If I knew about this, I would have made a better use of Yuan Shuchun.'

Ye Tian Yun sighed and put his focus on Wang Yao.

Even though he was quite appalled by the situation, he got a hold of himself and began to swiftly analyze the situation.

There was no doubt in him that the person in front of him was indeed the Wang Yao that had once beheaded him.

And now he had come back to the past.

But the question was - why would he come back? 

Considering the fact that in his previous life, killing Ye Tian Yun meant Wang Yao would become the Heavenly Emperor. And there was no doubt Wang Yao succeeded in his endeavor.

But then why come back in time?

Ye Tian Yun had a few guesses, but none of them were positive ones for him.

'Is he here because of my rebirth? Or else how would he know about my location? After all, in my previous life, I was cultivating in my palace at this time.'

'He had a lot of enemies, even though I was one of the major ones, there was no reason for him to focus all his attention on me to the point of coming here after me.'

'It's very clear that he wants something… but what?'

'I don't even have my own Emblem yet!'

'Is he after Token Of Fate too? But why will he need to go after me for that? He could simply kill Xiao Ming.'

'Or does he want to save Xiao Ming? After all, if Xiao Ming dies, then the future would change a lot! All the things that Xiao Ming did for God's Legion will turn meaningless and won't happen!'

'Maybe there's a chance that Xiao Ming's death might change the future so much that it might directly harm Wang Yao's chances for the Heavenly Emperor's throne?'

'This is the most likely reason… but there's still one last question.'

'How did he get back in time? There has never been an artifact or even the God Emblem can't do such a thing.'

'He did possess the Emblem Of Time, but that can only turn back time a few seconds or give him a bit of extra time to cultivate. He can never return back in time with the Emblems.'
