"By my hand".

It worked just the way it had last time, the scroll unfurling to make a large circle when both its end met, but this time there were some differences.

A circle of over 1000 diameters appeared in the air, blanketing the 100s of men and about 5 catapults, and then with the next instant, that wide circle formed by the scroll was completely filled with fire.

The difference between the qi of 1st stage soldier Seth and 3rd stage soldier Seth was incomparable, and at the moment this attack was being powered by Seth's current qi.

Like an oven had been opened above the sky, the people on the ground were blasted by a wave of still rapidly increasing heat and Seth's uncontrolled aura, and then before they could understand anything more about the situation, a gigantic hand fell out of the circle, boiling the air it passed through and then slamming into the ground.

Not more than 5 seconds, dropping the scroll and unleashing the attack had not taken Seth more than 5 seconds, and now he could only helplessly descend into the smoke, dust, and debris filled floor below him.

Landing down, Seth was subjected to the heat of the attack, but he easily brushed it off.

"By my hand" wasn't a long running attack, it was an instant one, and it focused all its owner on destroying everything in its path while using every bit of energy in it to accomplish this, and if anyone could survive its initial hit, then they had survived the attack.

It sounded simple when said from the lips, but anyone who saw the attack and the 50-meter-deep palmprint it left on the floor, would know that survival was impossible.

As Seth navigated his way through and out of the palm shaped crater, other than a burnt and flattened ground, he came across no survivor or item.



Seth walked out of the smoke and then turned around to view and appreciate his workmanship before once again turning and finally moving back to the Crowd.

It didn't take Seth long to meet up with the crowd, glad to find them all safe and moving, though their expanded size to over 2000 had him raising an eyebrow.

Seth stopped some meters in front of the crowd, bringing their movements to a stop, and then he waved his hand at Xulu to come over, the man smart enough to keep the dome up as he came over.

Xulu's eyes rapidly moved all over, as the man ran over to Seth, his slightly shaking palms a sign of how nervous he truly was.





"Take down the dome and hand over the necklace," Seth said,

Xulu nodded his head, and the next second the blue line that connected with the dome faded away, the dome going with it.

The sudden loss of their dependable shield sent the crowd into panic, screams and shouts erupting as the people all began looking in Seth's and Xulu's direction, looking over in fear as they slowly inched towards them, but a blast of Seth's aura had all of them shutting up and quickly moving backward.

"Here sir?" Xulu asked remembering that Seth had been discrete when he had been giving it to him.

"Yes, I've discovered your reliable".

Xulu didn't understand what Seth meant, but he was smart enough to accept the man's praise and quickly take off the necklace from around his neck and hand it over to Seth.

"I'm sorry sir, but you see, some issues arose and I had to burn some people" Xulu quietly said with his hands behind his back and his head bowed.

"That's why I said you're reliable" Seth answered while he ran a check over the necklace.

"You can leave," Seth said some seconds later.

Almost all the qi Seth had pumped in the necklace had been used up, and now he had to refill it back, but that was also a problem as qi was in a very limited quantity at the moment.

Shaking his head at his swelling problems, qi began pouring out of Seth's hand, the qi flowing into the necklace as Seth quietly held it.

So far Seth had been able to easily clear through his opponent and it was thanks to his almost divine physical attributes, but even he knew that this wouldn't last.

Right now, his plan was to pour in about 90% of the qi he had left in him into the necklace, and doing this meant that from now on every single attack of his except those done with seals will be physical.

Despite being abnormally strong, there was only so much Seth's body could handle before it collapsed.

At the moment, Seth had proven to the enemy that he was now a major threat, and Seth was more than sure that the high level cultivators he had missed in his just-finished bout will begin appearing.

There was a more than 60 % chance that the focus on the siege that was currently being done to the inner city will be lessened as all forces will be directed at him.

No reasonable military commander would allow themselves to be surrounded by enemies, and while the thought of facing off against an entire army did send his senses tingling in excitement, Seth could not help but look at the people he had led so far.

No matter how much Seth brainstormed, he could only see death waiting at the end of the journey for these people.

The question of why he had listed to that woman's plea and then allowed himself to begin leading a group of people whom he had no relation with came popping into his head, but with a furious shake, Seth shook off these thoughts.

Though he might see death for them, Seth planned to put a 100% and more effort into protecting them, besides there was still a chance that they would survive, a chance whose possibility rested on the shoulders of people who absolutely hated him.
