Seeing this, Chi Rui charged forward without hesitation.
Ji Qingwu was stopped before she could even reveal the object in her right hand.
Chi Rui roared, "Protect Miss Ji!"
Several tall soldiers immediately formed a circle around Ji Qingwu, shielding her behind them.
At the same time, Gao Zhao Yue's fingers danced nimbly, and dozens of Black Eagles suddenly dove from the night sky.
The raptors' eyes glowed a sickly yellow-green, and scraps of flesh torn from some unknown source clung to their sharp talons.
The flock of eagles circled overhead. Chi Rui slashed at them with his sword, only to discover he had merely cut through two black shadows.
Facing the aerial assault, the soldiers couldn't discern the Black Eagles' direction of attack. The birds were too fast, their talons too sharp. For all their strength, the soldiers had no way to apply it.
