1068 Words
"Yingjun!" Zi Yan Yue almost fell on the pond because of Zi Yingjun. It was fortunate she grabbed his sleeve in time before falling completely. Only that her inferior-level weapon fell. She knelt down on all fours to overlook the pond but she cant see any trace of the weapon. Zi Yan Yue sighed since she lost today. Both from sparring Zi Yingjun and her weapon needs to be retrieved. She gave a look of pleading to Zi Yingjun. He suddenly turned his back which disappointed her.
Unexpectedly, Zi Yingjun returned dragging a guard with him. He rudely pushed the guard into the pond. "Quick, find her weapon" Zi Yingjun instructed the guard without a trace of guilt on his face. The guard can only grumble and dive deeper into the pond. Zi Yingjun looked back to see Hai Liang fuming in anger. It was just on time when Hai Liang arrived with a guard then Zi Yingjun dragged her guard away.
"Young Master, that's my guard! Who will protect me now?!" Hai Liang asked in distress. Zi Yingjun smiled lightly, either ridiculing her or something else. He recalled that in his past life, Hai Liang came across him and Zi Yan Yue while sparring then pushed the guard to the pond. She made up an excuse to have him guard her instead. So, Zi Yingjun only got rid of her scheme.
"You can guard yourself." Zi Yingjun answered back.
"I don't have any weapon!"
"Oh. What about this?" he turned to Hai Liang and showed her the Thousand Frost Bow. It vanished and the Bleak Night Sword took place. "Aiya, you are too small to hold these weapons. What should we give you then?"
"Give me a gun." her face blackened. It was obvious Zi Yingjun doesn't like her.
"A gun?" both Zi Yingjun and Zi Yan Yue asked in wonder.
"Hmph. Old ancient people, doesn't even know what guns are." Hai Liang scoffed and left. Thinking of it, she does needs a gun. But how can she make one?
"Miss, your weapon." the guard emerged breathlessly. Zi Yan Yue gave her thanks and felt relieved the sword is fine.
That night, Zi Yingjun looked through the library for weapons. He tried searching what a gun is but there is nothing in the library. In his past life, the reason why Hai Liang was infamous is because of her unique assassins. They were ever so loyal to her either men or women unlike Zi Yingjun who can only cultivate female assassins. Once, they caught an assassin from Hai Liang's faction and saw a strange weapon with it. The assassin called it a gun but no elders in Zi Yingjun's sect were able to define its structure yet the weapon is effective in killing.
"Sovereign Hei, do you know anything about guns?" Zi Yingjun decided to ask the Feral Semi-Devil.
"As far as I know, it's a lethal weapon from another world. I had traversed in different realms and heard of this 'gun' but never saw it or used it."
Zi Yingjun thought for a while. If it was out of the world then, who exactly is Hai Liang? She's just a Nirvana Stage cultivator in the past. How did she know this 'gun'?
He was contemplating the whole night when an idea formed in his mind. Zi Yingjun remained on his balcony's rail and raised his other hand. An ice crystal floated above his palm before bursting with frosts and forming itself into a gun's shape. He remembered the details of it since he tried copying Hai Liang's invention but he failed because its function was difficult to understand.
"What to do next?" he curled his index finger on the trigger but in one pull, the trigger broke. Zi Yingjun restored the trigger but he changed the form inside. He tried to pull it again and a 'click' resounded. His brain worked with this new step. "Oh. Now I get it. That assassin pulled this curve to set a bullet free. Impressive, mortals used this against us in the past."
Zi Yingjun inserted a portion fo his divine sense and qi into the gun. He programmed it through the divine sense and once he pulled the trigger, a sharp ice bullet flew out in the fastest speed. The bullet ended up hitting the same tree he froze months ago. It broke through the frozen tree then the ice structure turned ruined. Zi Yingjun raised the gun upwards and let another bullet rush towards the sky.
"This is my version of gun. But it's not as efficient as the ones the assassin has." Zi Yingjun stored the new weapon into his space ring. He easily forged a strong weapon without a rune formation. How great will it be if he can use a rune on it?
Hai Liang secretly gasped in awe. She thought no one in this world knows anything about gun but Zi Yingjun made one. Are they maybe from the same world? Did he also transmigrate?
Zi Yingjun bent the bowstring and closed an eye. He aimed at the target hundred meters away from him. Zi Yan Yue watches in anticipation when she noticed some servant girls are also admiring him from afar. Though he was disdained before, because of his previous achievements and the rumors about Zi Yan Yue and Jiang Mei Hua fighting over him, a lot of girls went curious about Zi Yingjun. Zi Yan Yue sighed in her heart as Zi Yingjun let the arrow go. It struck the exact middle mark.
"No one can move him." she thought to herself. Zi Yingjun casted a glance at her and waved. Zi Yan Yue smiled back to hide her thoughts. He changed very quick. It was like Zi Yingjun was more experienced in life than her.
"Sovereign Hei, any news from Shi Zhao?" Zi Yingjun asked while aiming another arrow.
"He already guessed what you did to Jin Xuan Meng but she lied instead of telling the truth to them." Sovereign Hei was tasked to monitor Shi Zhao everyday, for hours but he can return to Zi Yingjun's side if Shi Zhao is doing something unimportant.
"As expected." the arrow accurately pierced the first arrow he shot. Zi Yingjun went to the table again and touched an arrow's head. "She still needs her head so why should Jin Xuan Meng betray me?"
