Chapter 1121: Knocked Out (7)
The two men were originally quite pleased with themselves, having snatched another promising youngster, but their joy didn’t last long—soon someone was catching up to them. They were ready to fight back; who would they fear?
However, before they could draw their weapons, they suddenly felt a rush of wind above their heads, and then a sharp pain on both shoulders. Instantly, they were lifted into the air.
They had never experienced anything like this. They wanted to cry out for help, but they found they couldn’t make a sound. They tried to raise their arms to hit their captors, but their limbs wouldn’t move. The claws were dug deep into their shoulders, directly into the flesh and bone; moving an inch sent searing pain through them...
Moreover, the two beings that had snatched them seemed to find it amusing, one moment swooping into the clouds, the next diving toward the ground...
The two men promptly passed out.
"How’s the child?" Gu Qingheng didn’t bother with the two in the sky but instead went over to check on the little one.
"Just knocked out," Gu Yao shook his head, "no serious harm."
Gu Qingheng nodded, then waved a hand at Xiaohei.
Xiaohei dove down and at a non-lethal height loosened its grip, and the man thumped to the ground.
Heihei followed suit, but wanting to demonstrate her ability to coordinate with her mate, she released her grip at the same spot Xiaohei did, which was unfortunate for the man who had landed first. Barely having recovered from the shock of the fall, he was struck by another body plummeting onto him. Not having been scared unconscious in mid-air, he was knocked out by the copper coin crashing down on him.
