East Meet West

235- Escape

Orochi, who was surrounded by guards and was led towards the Chan Clan.

While he was walking with them, he kept counting numbers in his head.

‘576’

‘577’

Meanwhile, his eyes moved as he started surveying his location and surroundings.

During this, Elder Jit Chan would try to initiate small chats with Orochi and Orochi too would reply in a friendly manner.

Suddenly, Orochi’s eyes jerked and a smile appeared on his face.

Because his chance to escape has arrived.

The reason he has been obediently following Elder Jit Chan is because he wanted to give some time for Armelia and June to escape.

And also, because he wanted to decrease the enemy numbers.

After he stepped out of the Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce, his ‘Perception and Intuition‘ ability started ringing like crazy. So, when he scanned the crowd, he sensed more than a dozen Human Stage cultivators were hidden in the crowd.

So, realizing this, he understood that his chances of escape are almost negligible.

Hence, the first thing that came to his mind was how to escape from so many people?

And luckily, Elder Jit Chan came to the rescue. So, Orochi obediently followed behind Elder Jit Chan because only then his chances of escape will increase and he will only have to face one Human stage cultivator.

Yes, Elder Jit Chan is also a Human stage cultivator.

And escaping from one human stage cultivator is not a difficult thing for Orochi when compared to escaping from more than a dozen Human stage cultivators.

In front of their group, a large crowd was formed and from the looks of it, a conflict is going on at the center of the crowd.

Seeing this, Elder Jit Chan frowned and order a guard,

“Go and clear away the crowd.”

Hearing this the guard hurried towards the crowd.

Seeing this, Orochi smiled and immediately grabbed two guards who were standing on each of his sides.

His arm strength is more than enough to lift an adult human with a single hand.

So, as soon as he grabbed the two guards, he threw them towards Elder Jit Chan and immediately ran into the crowd.

All of this took only 1 second and Orochi’s actions were so fast and smooth that no one was able to react.

Not even Elder Jit Chan, who has been secretly paying attention to Orochi.

But when Orochi threw two guards at him, he was able to react quickly.

He quickly sidestepped and dogged from being bumped into the incoming guards.

And as he dodged, he saw a shadow flash past him.

Seeing this, he immediately reacted and understood that Orochi was making use of the crowd and trying to escape.

But when he just took a step, his eyes cracked with anger because he found that there was no shadow of Orochi to be found.

His mind exploded with anger, as he commanded the guards,

“Surround the crowd and catch that bastard. Go go go... do not let anyone escape, I will check for him among the crowd.”

And he himself looked at the buildings and immediately gathered force in his legs and jumped high into the air.

His feet landed on a 20 meters high building’s rooftop and while he stood there, his eyes rapidly scanned among the crowd trying to look for Orochi.

.

Orochi’s speed was so quick that with his ‘Agility’ stat, in the blink of an eye he dived into the crowd and got mixed.

He was able to hear angry shouts of Elder Jit Chan coming from his back.

So, without wasting any time, he opened the system window and got into the ‘Attire’ section.

And in the attire section, Orochi had already assigned various clothes and accessories to the available Attire slots in the Attire section.

So, he clicked on one of the attire slots and equipped it.

‘Swish’

In a fraction of a second, all of Orochi’s original clothes vanished and he was now wearing a Kurta and pajama.

And he has already removed the mask that was covering his face.

Although Orochi’s clothes changed in the blink of an eye, some people who were standing close to him couldn’t help but rub their eyes to see if they were hallucinating.

But when they opened their eyes, Orochi was nowhere to be seen because although he has changed his clothes, he knows that he is not yet safe and he cannot stay in the town for long.

So, he was been walking between the crowd and trying to get away from Elder Jit Chan and his men.

While he was walking in the crowd, he would sometimes look in the direction of Elder Jit Chan, and coincidentally, this time he saw Elder Jit Chan jumping high into the air and landing on a high building’s rooftop.

Instantly, he understood Elder Jit Chan’s plan, but he did not fret because he reached a narrow alley which was between two small shops. So, he immediately drove into it and hid.

Orochi walked deep into the alley and luckily, the alley was quite long and it led away from the crowd and Elder Jit’s location.

Not only that, surrounding buildings acted as good obstacles that prevented Elder Jit Chan’s vision.

Soon, Orochi reached the other side or exit of the alley, and he was now standing on the main road that led towards the town’s exit.

‘Lucky...’

Orochi whispered and immediately moved towards the town gates.

He walked at a normal pace to prevent himself from looking like a suspicious person.

.

Elder Jit Chan’s eyes were scanning the crowd very carefully, but as time passed his anger and killing intent was increasing in his heart.

As an old dog/guy, he was experienced enough to judge the situation with a proper mind, so he understood that Orochi might have escaped from the crowd and when he saw various shops and alleys in the area, his judgment became firmer.

So, he coldly looked at the guards close to his location and shouted to them,

“Immediately fire the flares which are the signal for emergency and locking down the gates.”

Listening to Elder Jit Chan’s cold tone, all the guards who heard him did not dare to delay his order and immediately took out a red and black flare that they were carrying on them and they fired it into the sky.

Boom

Boom

Boom

Boom

Boom

Boom

Boom

A large number of flares exploded into the sky.

And the whole sky above Elder Jit Chan’s location was now filled with red and black colors.
