411 Chaotic Atmospheric Qi
After he had put on the gloves, seconds later the situation had gone totally wrong, and Gudzil had found himself suddenly in a very unfamiliar environment, having no idea what had happened or was happening.
Now, after getting the gloves off and just escaping a sure death hit, considering he would have been powerless to react and dodge the axe kick without his qi, Gudzil was all fired up, his blood pumping with vigour, and his spirit sense was on full blast.
Looking at the position where he had been almost, Gudzil saw one of the black-clothed men standing there, the man silently staring at them as he stood on slightly depressed ground filled with cracks, a result born from his kick.
Internally shuddering as he imagined what could have happened to him if he had been hit by the kick, Gudzil looked past the man and stared in confusion at the dense smoke and dust-filled environment that hung around the man.
Within the smoke and dust, Gudzil could feel several contained waves of chaotic qi shooting across like blades, even making him wince as his spirit sense which he used to inspect was hit by it.
Looking at the large area covered by the smoke, Gudzil's fist tightened at the thought that he had been in the thick of it not too long ago.
"When they counted down to 16, they fired a missile at us.
I guess they found us way too suspicious and thought it better to quickly eliminate the threat."
"After the missile hit, it resulted in a very powerful but contained explosion, which then brought forth this smoke filled with atmospheric qi," Seth said with praise in his voice.
"It's a beautiful piece of engineering and, most importantly, sealing."
"How did I survive?" Gudzil asked, his voice shaking a little after hearing about a missile and, most importantly, atmospheric qi.
"I saved you, of course," Seth said with a chuckle. "Come, let's go."
Hearing that Seth saved him didn't really surprise Gudzil, as he was obviously the only one in the city who would bother with him, not to mention the weird things he had felt in the smoke, which pointed to the presence of an outside force acting on him.
"Sir," Gudzil said, a stammer in his voice as he saw Seth turn around to begin walking away.
Though they had survived the missile, they still had a dangerous opponent before them, and Seth turning his back on this opponent made Gudzil panic, considering how he himself was powerless before them.
"Don't worry, they won't attack us."
"Huh?"
"Come over here."
With the command given, Gudzil could only quickly walk over to Seth, who had gone a distance, the man keeping his eyes on the black-clothed man who was silently and motionlessly standing in the distance.
Arriving beside Seth, Gudzil moved to talk to Seth about the other two missing black-clothed men, but before that could happen, the black man standing in the distance exploded in a shower of blood and guts, and just as the blood landed on the ground, two more explosions happened to the left, blood and guts raining to the ground, signifying that two more people had been killed.
With fear in his eyes, Gudzil turned to Seth, who had an amused look.
"I paralyzed them while I observed the smoke, nothing was going to happen.
You should learn to have a bit more faith in me," Seth said with a chuckle and began moving away.
Gudzil would have loved to remain in place and think, but the loud siren still resounding in the air, and the explosion site not too far from him had him quickly moving in sync with Seth, having no plan to leave from his guardian angel's side.
With Gudzil by his side, Seth continued his stroll towards the city gate, which wasn't too far off, and when he noticed Gudzil's tense body clenching and unclenching his right fist, Seth slightly shook his head.
"Take," Seth suddenly said, and when Gudzil turned to look at him in confusion, Seth nudged his head to the side.
"To your left."
Not understanding, Gudzil looked to his left, surprise in his eyes as he found his sword floating just beside him.
Quickly grabbing the sword out of the air, Gudzil thanked Seth, a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Sir."
"Yeah, sure."
Like this, the duo continued their walk, and while Seth went on even looking at the sky and the few trees in the area, Gudzil's eyes went peering forward, his heart beating as he wondered how he and Seth were going to deal with soldiers ahead of them especially considering the several towers equipped with several powerful guns that would be aiming at them.
As he stared at the intimidating towers, Gudzil's eyes widened as he remembered something, and he quickly turned to Seth.
"Sir, the city's barriers have been activated, and the shields are up, even if we get to the gates and take down the guards, we still won't be able to get out."
"Oh, that should explain why there aren't many soldiers at the gates, they are confident no one can get past the barrier," Seth said, nodding his head.
"Yes, Sir. What are we going to do?"
"Just stay beside me, and you'll be alright," Seth said, his voice ending in a drawl as several explosions happened to his and Gudzil's right.
These explosions, though numerous, were very weak when compared to the initial blast that shook the city.
The explosions seemed to come from the blast of a cultivator sending out several attacks.
With them being close to the city gate, the number of houses in this area was quite few, with multiple trees suffusing the surroundings.
Seth and Gudzil paused and watched as the sound of fighting came from behind a three-story building not too far away, and then before they knew it, the building exploded, screams erupting as the building crumbled.
Seth and Gudzil were still looking at the chaotic scenario when a blood and dirt-covered person landed not too far from them.
"Your Excellency," a not exactly familiar but soft voice came out of the just-arrived personnel, and Seth was forced to pay attention to this person
