289 Human Body Tactical Formation (2/2)

Meanwhile, the elderly villagers could not withstand it anymore. Some of them started to wrap their wrists using the gauze they had prepared beforehand to stop the bleeding. Seeing this, Tarou Sakagami wanted to mutter something but he stopped himself. He had wanted to let the bleeding continue but after thinking about it, this tactical formation was used to dispel the curse. It would disrupt the procedures if some people were to be seriously injured.

As the villagers in the outer circle bandaged their wrists, the younger villagers in the inner circle also took out a small knife. Clenching their teeth, they cut their wrists. Some timid ones could not do it and needed the assistance of the person standing next to them.

After ten minutes had passed, the pungent smell of blood wafted in every direction across hundreds of miles.

Kimura Kazuki had an uncanny feeling when he witnessed the scene. However, he could not exactly place his finger on what was wrong. He knew that it was because he was not familiar with the Human Body Tactical Formation, or else, he would have figured it out with ease.

In the meantime, Kimura Kazuki occasionally looked around to observe the surroundings. Judging from yesterday's incident, the Majin did not want the villagers of Sakagami Village to remove the curse. Tarou Sakagami told Kimura Kazuki and the others about the incident in Sakagami Village because he hoped that they could ensure their safety and the completion of the ceremony while they were dispelling the curse.

Meanwhile, the teenagers and young adults in the inner circle of the tactical formation had slit their wrists and released their blood. The red fluid revolved around the circular formation like a living beast, surrounding all of them. The stream of blood formed a semi-circle as it continued to flow and ebb on the ground.

The youthful blood from the inner circle began to gradually spread outward. If one were to gaze down from the sky at the place where the villagers were currently at, the torrents of blood flowing on the surface would seem as though they were being manipulated by an invisible hand. The flowing blood was used to draw on the earth, slowly recreating a tactical formation.

Sei Shigeru frowned unconsciously when he observed this spectacle. ”The blood is moving as if it is a living thing. However, no one from Sakagami Village is a practitioner, so how is the blood being controlled?”

Sei Shigeru spoke softly as he was merely mumbling his doubts. Clearly, it was simply a question he was asking himself.

However, Kimura Kazuki suddenly realized. Then, his face turned shockingly pale! Obviously, he had neglected a key factor. Although the Human Body Tactical Formation did not need any Spiritual Stone or jade, it required a Cultivator to control the tactical formation. As long as the person was a Cultivator, then surely the person's body would contain reiki.

However, there was no Cultivator among the inhabitants of Sakagami Village. It was highly unusual indeed.

Without a Cultivator, how can the blood flow in such a regular pattern? Who is it?

Kimura Kazuki's eyes darted at lighting speed and instantly scanned through all the villagers before him. He scrutinized their ashen pale faces, seeing that most of them looked hopeful and excited, while some timid ones seemed frightened and terrified.

Then, Kimura Kazuki's eyes suddenly stopped. Although this person tried to conceal her emotions, her calm and gloating eyes had thoroughly betrayed her. As he stared at Otome Sakagami who was standing in the middle, his heart was still in utter disbelief. However, after a certain thought came to his mind, he instantly made a decision.

This Human Body Tactical Formation must no longer continue!

A fraction of a second later, his Sun and Moon Sword stirred from its slumber. In an instant, it glided across the air at supersonic speed, aiming directly at Otome Sakagami!
