I took out the small bottle containing the Blood-Transforming Insects, preparing to let these two or three hundred people experience the might of the swarm.
However, I had to plan my retreat route, as well as my method and means of attack.
My only advantage now was that I was hidden while they had yet to pinpoint me.
If they did, then the corpse demon Great Tengu would be difficult for me to handle.
I scanned both sides and found that there were the fewest people at the rear flank.
Planning to strike from the rear flank, I began moving in that direction.
I moved very slowly, inch by inch, making no sound and revealing nothing of myself.
The Japanese onmyoji and monks around me, along with the flock of carrion crows overhead, kept circling as they searched for me.
"Find that Chinese man no matter what..."
"Let them know that the authority of Japan cannot be offended!"
"Catch him, then burn him alive as a sacrifice!"
"..."
Japanese voices rang out one after another.
I could not tell whether they were saying anything good or bad, so I could only wait for an opportunity.
But the opportunity came in the blink of an eye.
As I observed my surroundings, I noticed that the crowd at the rear left suddenly parted.
Four people had been left alone...
Seeing this, I knew my chance had come.
I began sneaking toward the rear left, avoiding the carrion crows and the like.
Soon, I was less than ten meters away from those four people.
That was not far. I only needed to wait for them to come a little closer.
At that moment, I was like a great crocodile, silently waiting for its prey to approach.
I could not use incantations or talismans.
