The Heavenly Jewel Change
Chapter 84: Surprise Attacks (4)


The attacking arrows and the necks of the other two guards were caught happening almost simultaneously. In that short period of time, the three guards of the Kalise Empire had been killed just like that. Although it could not be said to be completely silent, but the sound of light appearing was hidden by the various sounds of insects in the forest. Their coordination was perfect for the first time they worked together, and it was indeed amazing.


Without a doubt, the one who pounced from behind to finish off the two guards was naturally Zhou Weiqing. What he had done was actually rather simple, revolving behind the guard post, and with the strength of his right foot, he leaped out at an incredible speed to grab the necks of the two guards. Before they could react and make a sound, he had smashed their heads to the ground and broke their necks. After all, his Physical Gem had – strength let alone weaker neck vertebrae, he might even be able to break the thicker femur if he wanted to.


However, even he never imagined that Shangguan Binger would have a perfect understanding and coordination with him. 1


He had originally prepared his right leg first. If Shangguan Binger's arrow was late, he would sweep his leg to kill the leftmost warrior; even if it would create a disturbance, he would have to take the risk.


The feeling in his hand as his bones shattered, coupled with the sound, and the feeling of life in his receding hands caused a hint of bloodlust to fill Zhou Weiqing's eyes. This was the first time he had killed someone, and it was within a very close and personal distance, yet his deep heart trembled with inexplicable excitement.


He raised his hand and gave a big thumb towards Shangguan Binger who was hidden in the distance. He then casually plucked the arrow from the head of the leftmost guard, clearing it of all the bloodstains on their clothes, before returning to rejoin it.


"Binger, it's on time! That's a total of three. "As he said that, Zhou Weiqing stuffed the arrow back into Shangguan Bing's trembling.


Shangguan Binger closed his eyes, a look of compassion flashed across his face, as he looked a little unable to hold it in. Fortunately, he had killed from a distance, otherwise the pain of killing someone might have been even more obvious.


Zhou Weiqing patted his back comfortably, saying: "Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself. Think of all our dead, wounded soldiers. Every single one of the Kalise Empire's soldiers who died, was almost the same as saving one of our Heavenly Core Empire's soldiers. Anyway, we have to go now. "


"En." Shangguan Bing steeled himself, thinking to himself. How can I lose to Zhou Little Fatty who is younger than me? He hasn't even reached the age of fourteen, has he?


Very quickly, Zhou Weiqing managed to find the second hidden guard post. The guards in charge of the guard posts were usually elite infantry soldiers who were also trained as scouts. Among ordinary infantrymen, they were extraordinary. However, in front of the two Celestial Gem Masters, they were weak and refined.


Perhaps it was because Shangguan Binger helped Zhou Weiqing to Awaken the Heavenly Jewel by becoming a Sacrifice, and in the process established a relationship between them. The two of them had an astonishing level of cooperation and tacit understanding between them; with Shangguan Binger focusing on long-range attacks and Zhou Weiqing focusing on close-quarters combat. The hidden guard posts fell down one after another as they continued.


When they finally tore and passed through all the guard posts of the Kalise Empire, they had killed 34 guards from various hidden guard posts. From that, the majority had been killed by Zhou Weiqing.


As they lay hidden in the darkness, watching the enemy encampment from a distance, Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Binger both took the opportunity to recover their expelled Heavenly Energy.


"Little Fat, what have you planned?" After a night of working together in battle, the two of them became more coordinated and aligned with each other. Surprisingly, the one with the dominating and leadership role was not Shangguan Bing'er Two Gems, instead with Zhou Weiqing assuming responsibility.


Shangguan Binger realized that as soon as Zhou Weiqing entered the forest, it was like a fish entering the water. He took care of many small details in such a way that he found impossible, and his unusually strong senses were able to easily detect enemies from an unparalleled distance. This was the main reason why they had managed to always win against their enemies so far, and the reason why they had managed to sneak through the entire enemy lines and reach the military camp without any problems.


Zhou Weiqing asked Shangguan Binger to pick up his map once more, and with the pale moonlight as the light source, he checked his map and pointed to where they were: "See here, see, this is our target position. Although the enemy camp had several patrol soldiers, but it was already past the 1st mark in the morning, and that was when the humans were easily tired. In a moment, I will be in charge of launching sneak attacks at them, and you can protect me in case of any trouble. "


“However, once we start the attack, we can't go back through the route we came. Instead, I think we should just go through this route alone.I have carefully checked all possible routes beforehand, and selected them. Returning to the base via this route will allow us to reduce the distance by almost 50 li. Moreover, you mentioned that the forested hill plots taken this route are inhabited by Heavenly Beasts, this will help in blocking the chase when we also escape. ”


To Shangguan Bing's surprise, when Zhou Weiqing pointed out his chosen route on the map, his finger quickly moved across the map and pointed to various positions with great accuracy, demonstrate also a strong understanding of the distance to be traveled. The new retreat route he showed was not a straight line straight, but rather a lot of curving and veering, but ensuring that the distance traveled was minimum, he said, with fewer obstructions while still trying to keep as far away from the Kalise Camping Empire as possible. Clearly, this was what he had calculated when he held the map before they left earlier.


"Binger, are you listening to me?" Zhou Weiqing waved his hand in front of his puzzled eyes.


"I'm listening. However, what happens if we encounter a Heavenly Beast that blocks our path? With our current cultivation level, even the weakest Shi Stage Heavenly Beast will give us a lot of trouble, and it will definitely be very dangerous for us to deal with. Heavenly Beasts had their own unique skills and talents, which were extremely powerful. Most of these Heavenly Beasts have a very strong sense of territory, and once we enter their territory, they will not hesitate to attack us. ”


Zhou Weiqing smiled and said confidently, "you don't need to worry about that part, I've planned everything. Have you always wanted to know why it is so easy for me to Store Skills in my Elemental Gem? Let me tell you why now. The black pearl I swallowed should have been Neidan from the large winged black tiger, and the aura of this black tiger seemed to cause most beings to feel fear, and the Heavenly Beast was no different. My skills are all Saved from Zong Stage Heavenly Beasts, and most are Control-type Skills. However, during the Skill Storage process, none of them had actually refused at all. Although it could be said that it was also due to the fact that they had all been sealed, but it was clear that the aura from my body was definitely affecting them massively. If we encounter a Heavenly Beast, as long as we don't attack them first, they should leave us alone once they feel the aura emitted from me. ”


“More, the reason why I chose the route was basically because it was on the relative edge of forested hills. In general, the stronger the Heavenly Beast was, the more he would choose to have his territory in the middle position. Therefore, we must not meet a Heavenly Beast that is too powerful. As for meeting with Shi Stage Heavenly Beasts, even if my plan doesn't work out, with our speed, it shouldn't be too difficult for us to escape. With this as double insurance, I consider this should be our safest retreat route. ”


Shangguan Binger nodded, looking confident, and said: "Alright, let's follow your plan." In the darkness of the night, he did not realize that the blood-red thirst in Zhou Weiqing's eyes was getting stronger. Even Zhou Weiqing himself was unaware that his emotions were starting to get increasingly affected by this bloodlust.


Great power is often accompanied by great risk. Just like the great risks that accompanied the Immortal God Technique when breaking through the Death Acupuncture Points, the side effects of the black pearls slowly showed themselves to Zhou Weiqing.


A short while later, the two had recovered their Heavenly Energy to its maximum capacity, and Zhou Weiqing gave Shangguan Bing'er a hand signal that had been designed as he quietly moved forward.


The main entrance of the Kalise Imperial Army Camp was rather wide, almost 40 meters, ensuring that if there was a large-scale military movement, the troops would be able to leave the camp easily. On either side of the gate, there each stood a 20-meter-high watchtower, while the camp border was surrounded by numerous bright lights, twinkling in the wind, illuminating the entire camp. In each of the watchtowers, there stood an archer guard posted to guard at night. As long as they saw something undesirable, they could ring a gong at the top of the watchtower to sound an alarm and warn the patrolling soldiers for a quick response.


At this point, Shangguan Binger was hidden about 500 meters away from the main camp of the Kalise Empire. The little finger and ring finger of his right hand hold the arrow, while between the index finger and ring finger there is more. His Purple Dawn bow was slowly drawn with an arrow between his index and nocked ring finger, ready and leading to one of the Watchtowers in the distance.


Zhou Weiqing continued to approach the Kalise Empire encampment, and he gradually ran out of hiding behind. In that case, Shangguan Bing's Purple Dawn Bow moved.


"Swoosh**swoosh*Two sounds slowly heard, and two arrows shot almost to each other. While shooting these two arrows, he had used a rather ingenious little trick, using slightly different strength when shooting both arrows, with the second arrow having slightly more power than the first. In doing so, both arrows actually hit their target at the same time. In order to ensure a single hit kill at such a distance, Shangguan Binger used his Wind Attribute Heavenly Energy to increase the firepower.


* Puff**Puff*Two other light sounds are heard. Even at such a distance, both arrows struck the head of the guard, one directly hit Taiyang Acupuncture Point and pierced through, while the other struck right in the mouth and pierced into the brain. Although the explosive power of the Wind Attribute was not very strong, but for a soft target like a brain, it was still very frightening. Without much noise, their bodies collapsed onto the ground of the watchtower.


The moment this happened, Zhou Weiqing also exploded instantly, circulating his Sky Energy to the maximum. The distance of 300 yards was cleared within five limits, and taking the chance that there was no patrol, his right foot slammed into the ground. With the incredible power of his right foot, he was able to jump five meters high, jump over the entrance fence, and he jumped onto one of the guard towers like a leopard.


In the distance, Shangguan Bing's heart was in his throat as he pierced another arrow into his drawn bow, ready to support Zhou Weiqing at any moment.


The plan was a success. When Zhou Weiqing ascended to the guard tower, he was still undiscovered by the enemy. He felt his heart pounding, his heart pounding as his excitement grew.


Including the two archers in the guard tower, they had already killed 36 people tonight, and were only 60 away from their revenge destination. Zhou Weiqing took a deep breath as he looked down from the guard tower deeper into the camp. Because of the lights from the lantern, he could see it well with such a beautiful view.


The Kalise Empire camp and the Heavenly Bow Empire camp were actually somewhat similar; with the Heavy Infantry being 10 people for one tent, while the light infantry numbered 30 people for one tent. Zhou Weiqing had no specific fixed target, and after some careful observation, he found a target to lock on.


After all, he had just joined the army not too long ago, and he was not too used to the situation in the military camps. Furthermore, due to the limited amount of Heavenly Energy he had, he only had one chance to attack before he had to retreat. After all, he had to maintain sufficient Heavenly Energy to defeat retreat. Thus, his target choice was one of the biggest tents. The tent was actually nearly a kilometer away from the guard tower he was in, but the tent was brilliantly illuminated and was actually being patrolled by the entire army company, and was clearly a very important place.


Therehewas. Zhou Weiqing raised his right hand, and the only Jade Physique Gem on his right wrist shone brightly, as he unleashed the Overlord Bow swiftly. At the same time, the attribute wheel in his eyes spun into the blue area, and just above his left hand emitted a rich electric light.


Amongst all of Zhou Weiqing's Stored Skills, among the six attributes, he only had a single attack skill, and that was the lightning attribute …
