Heavenly Jewel Change Volume 7 (Chapter 259-Chapter 308)

“Little Fatty, let us go down.” Shangguan Bing’er said gently.

Zhou Weiqing nodded in agreement, holding her by her slim waist. The young couple descended from the skies, but they did not fly directly into the camp to prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings. They landed outside the camp before walking in the direction of the camp.

“Who are you?” Before they had walked a hundred metres, four soldiers burst out from the two sides to surround them.

Naturally, Zhou Weiqing had noticed them long before. However, if it was just using vision alone, the four of them had been well hidden and out of sight.

Now that they had left their hiding spots, only then did Zhou Weiqing see it was because they had dug four holes in the ground, with plenty of cover on top. There were also grass and thatch woven onto their shields, thus allowing them to remain hidden in the ground without being discovered.

This was their hidden guards.

Looking at the four blades gleaming with cold light, Zhou Weiqing laughed heartily. “Stand down, we are on the same side.”

“Same side?” One of the guards, clearly the leader, looked questioningly at Zhou Weiqing. When he moved his gaze to Shangguan Bing’er, he shuddered. With a thud, he knelt down on one knee, saying respectfully to her: “Greetings Drillmaster, this subordinate is Sun Pao. We are scouts from the Fourth Regiment, Twenty-seventh Company.”

The other guards followed suit to greet Shangguan Bing’er.

Zhou Weiqing rubbed his nose in embarrassment, saying with a wry grin: “It looks like this Commander in Chief isn’t as well known as you, Drillmaster!”

Shangguan Bing’er giggled, saying: “Who asked you to be so lazy and not reveal your face in public more often? This also proves that my sisters are toiling so hard on your behalf.”

Zhou Weiqing grinned in delight, saying: “Alright, everyone stand up. To prevent any other misunderstandings, two of you guide us into the camp to meet Ming Yu.”

Previously, Zhou Weiqing had not lowered his voice when speaking to Shangguan Bing’er, and the guards had naturally heard him. Commander in Chief? What did that mean? They were all confused. They had seen Shangguan Bing’er before from a distance, and they knew their Drillmaster’s fame and reputation in the entire camp was rivaled only by Commander Ming Yu. So… who was this young man beside her?

Seeing the hesitant looks on the four guards, Zhou Weiqing said helplessly: “Nevermind, I’ll do it myself.” He was rather impatient to find out about the current situation and did not wish to waste anymore time.

As he spoke, Zhou Weiqing raised his right hand and slapped it into the air. Instantly, the air began to rumble agitatedly. A massive dragon formed from lightning coalesced into existence, soaring into the skies as the four guards watched with bulging eyes. An ear-splitting crash of lightning accompanied the strong energy reverberations, spreading out far and wide.

The lightning dragon spun around in the air before emitting a series of thunder and lightning. At last, it slowly vanished.

Before the piercing glow of the lightning had faded away, the main Heavenly Bow army camp had already responded. A hundred figures rose into the skies from the main camp, rushing over to the area of disturbance at top speed.

Although they were still a distance away, Zhou Weiqing could already see that this hundred men were all from his familiar Peerless Air Force!

They had been apart for a year, and seeing this Peerless Air Force that he had personally trained and forged, he instantly felt the warmth of home.

The hundred-strong Air Force soon arrived, their Consolidated Bows drawn to full crescents. Shockingly, all hundred of them were Jewel Masters, at least of a five-Jeweled stage. Their leader was Kou Rui.

They had not flown together from the same direction, and now that they were in the air above, their formation had scattered to ensure a semi circular surrounding of them. With a hundred Jewel masters locking down upon the area, it was filled with a strong pressure.

Kou Rui was position right in the center. His cultivation had already reached the five-Jeweled stage.

“Kou Rui, come down here now.” Before Kou Rui could even look closely to see who it was, a powerful suction force came from the ground, dragging him down forcefully.

Kou Rui paled in fright and subconsciously fired his arrow. As soon as he did so, all hundred of the Peerless Air Force members also followed suit without hesitation. The shrill sounds of the arrows slicing through the air gave the four guards standing in front of Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing’er a big fright.

A hundred Peerless Air Force powerhouses shooting at once. Just the explosive effect from their Consolidated Bows was sufficient to turn this entire area in a hundred metre radius into a deep crater!

However, in the next moment, they were all stunned silly.

The shrill sounds only lasted for half the distance before it stopped. A hundred arrows, yet they all froze in mid air abruptly. The most astonishing thing was that they actually flew back, landing right back in their quivers, with not a single one missing the mark!

Kou Rui had been brought directly onto the ground, landing right in front of Zhou Weiqing.

“We have only just met again after so long, and you already can’t wait to give me a gift? You little brat, can’t you look clearly before you act?” Zhou Weiqing laughed heartily.

At first, when Kou Rui saw their arrows had all been blocked so easily, his heart had grown cold and he thought they were finished. However, in the next moment, when he finally saw who it was who pulled him down, that terror turned into joy and excitement!

Chapter 262: The Full Hate Ground No Handle Set?? (1)


“Boss, you came back!” Kou Rui was so overjoyed, he immediately charged over to give Zhou Weiqing a bear hug. However, a heartbeat later he suddenly came to his senses. He hurriedly released Zhou Weiqing, then stepped over to block for him while calling out, “Don’t move! He’s one of us!”

Actually, even if the Peerless Air Force soldiers in midair wanted to attack, they weren’t able to do so. They were all completely frozen in the air, unable to resist in the slightest.

Zhou Weiqing waved his hand, releasing them from their bonds. Only then did the Peerless Air Force land on the ground.

Kou Rui didn’t hug him again. Instead, he took several steps back and then went down on one knee. He said respectfully, “Kou Rui greets you, Commander.”

Zhou Weiqing waved his hand, sending out a gentle stream of energy which lifted him off the ground. “We’re brothers. No need to stand on such ceremony. Besides… I might be your ‘Commander’, but I’m an idle guy who doesn’t do anything.”

The Peerless Air Force had landed on the ground. Ordinary scouts might not recognize Zhou Weiqing, but how could the Peerless Air Force not recognize him? The vast majority of them had been brought here by Zhou Weiqing from the Zhongtian Empire!”

“Our Boss! Our Boss came!” they called out as they gathered around him. They had all come out of the Ruffian Battalion, and Zhou Weiqing had never been a person to put on airs. They were amazed to see him, and in their excitement they forgot about paying their respects and instead charged straight towards him.

However, after taking a few steps they all came to a halt, a terrified look on their face. They said respectfully, “Greetings, Drillmaster.”

Zhou Weiqing stifled his laughter. “What did the Drillmaster do to you? Look at how terrified you are.”

Kou Rui chortled, “Nothing much. She just occasionally inspects us and finds a few of us to spar against her.”
