Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

This is your treasure trove for discovering the best fantasy novels.

"Alright, the ancient past is a mystery, and we can't delve into it too deeply. We have more important things to do right now," Yun Suyan reminded her.

Qin Huaiyu nodded, clearing his mind of his complicated thoughts, then turned around and squatted down beside the fire.

Chu Yanxi also quickly withdrew her gaze, moved closer to the fire, and whispered:

"It's been a whole day and nothing has happened. We're still half a day's journey from Mangdang Mountain. Do you think Zhai Tianlin might not have made any arrangements at all?"

Or perhaps they had no idea we were leaving?

"yes."

Yun Suyan also had doubts.

"We've already passed some of the easiest places to ambush along the way, and there's only one road to Mangdang Mountain. Could it be that he's planning to make a move at the destination?"

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said:

"Probably not. The three essential elements of an ambush are location, personnel, and timing."

"Three elements?"

The two women, hearing this term for the first time, each wore a confused expression and said:

"What do you mean?"

…Holy crap, it even has a Northeastern accent now.

Qin Huaiyu shuddered and explained:

"Ambush? That's a skill. The location is about terrain, hiding people, and being secluded. The personnel depend on the actual situation. The timing is the most important. You have to choose the time when the enemy is most relaxed."

"rare……"

Chu Yanxi frowned slightly, as if she understood something, and turned her head to look at the dilapidated temple.

Desolate and deserted, cold and quiet, furtive and secretive...

"You mean here?"

"Relax..."

Yun Suyan suddenly realized what was happening.

It was the middle of the night, when everyone was exhausted.

Uh, you've all said it, what else do I need to say?

Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes and said:

"This is the best place and time I can think of. The reason I chose to stay overnight in the ruined temple is also because it's a dark and windy night for murder, which is advantageous to him and also to us."

"Yes, that's true."

Chu Yanxi nodded. She continued:

"Now that you've made this guess, do you have any plans?"

"Yes, I have."

"What?"

Qin Huaiyu lay down on the spot and said, "I need to sleep and get some rest."

“…………”

Chu Yanxi was stunned. She felt like she had suffered a thousand points of damage and quickly said:

"Wait, aren't you afraid that Zhai Tianlin will bring some experts? What if we can't defeat them?"

"What are you afraid of? If you can't beat them, just run away."

After Qin Huaiyu finished speaking, he closed his eyes. A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. With the Dragon Soaring Realm in his possession, he was still confident that he could lead the two of them to escape.

"Is this all you're going to do?"

"Otherwise what?"

Chu Yanxi was speechless for a moment, her pretty face slightly angry.

"Huff, huff..." she breathed, trying to calm herself down.

Forget it, I won't make a fool of myself.

Given this guy's personality, it's impossible for him to disregard his own life.

Thinking this, she looked at Yun Suyan.

"Sister Su Yan, let's sleep too, and follow your instructions."

After saying that, Chu Yanxi pretended to doze off nearby.

Even a lady as refined as the princess was angered like this, and I, your younger brother, am still as uncompromising as ever in my lack of chivalry!

Yun Suyan looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly.

As arranged, she also closed her eyes.

The moon was setting in the west, and time seemed to fly by. The dry firewood crackled and popped as it burned, with flames shooting up to a height of more than half a person.

A soft snore could be heard from inside the dilapidated temple, and even breathing, like flowing water, drifted out of the offering hall.

"squeak"

Just then, a slight noise was heard at the door.

"Here it comes."

Qin Huaiyu opened his eyes slightly and saw four or five people dressed in black with their faces covered by black cloths tiptoeing in.

They varied in build, some tall and some short, with the leader being particularly striking, being very burly.

"With a body like that, there's no point in covering yourself in fur. It's really unnecessary," Qin Huaiyu thought to himself.

Of course, the man in black was unaware that someone was watching him, and he made a hand gesture to his left and right subordinates.

The subordinates understood and dispersed; two approached Yun Suyan, and two approached Chu Yanxi.

He then walked towards Qin Huaiyu with one other person in his arms.

The campfire flickered, and the crackling sound became more frequent.

The three men in black approached, holding their breath.

The leader nodded.

The men in black each drew a long sword, its blade gleaming coldly.

next moment,

They raised their knives, as if to strike.

At this critical moment.

Qin Huaiyu and his two companions suddenly sprang to their feet. The man in black was clearly not prepared for such a scene and was momentarily stunned by the shock.

How could Qin Huaiyu let such an opportunity slip by? His blood boiled, and he unleashed a vicious waist kick.

The howling wind carried the power of the extreme physical body.

"Bang"

The man in black on the side didn't even have time to react before his waist and abdomen were being forcefully squeezed.

The leader was startled and, with black light surging around him, quickly retreated.

It was just a hair's breadth off.

The person who was swept away coughed up blood and flew out.

With a loud crash, he slammed into the palace wall.

Before he could even let out a scream, his head jerked, and he died.

On the right, Chu Yanxi's fingers were like knives, and holy light flashed like a sharp blade.

The two men in black had eyes full of terror, but even so, blood gushed from their necks in an instant, and their heads were severed, rolling to the ground, their eyes wide open in death.

On the left, Yun Suyan's eyes flashed with coldness, and with a flick of her finger, two beams of blood-red light shot out.

The two men in black snapped out of their daze and stared wide-eyed at their chests.

His heart was pierced, and blood gushed out, instantly staining his clothes red.

They fell down unwillingly.
