The patrol captain was 40 years old and had witnessed many dangerous situations throughout his life. During the war with Fortress 178, which he participated in 17 years ago, he even saw sorcerers fighting inside the city with his own eyes.
It was because he had witnessed battles involving sorcerers that he knew very well it was not something normal people could interfere in. If they came across one, they should just pretend not to see it. That would ensure they would live longer.
However, one of the patrolling guards was a little puzzled. “Captain, are they the House of Winston’s sorcerers?”
The patrol captain pondered it. “I don’t think so. I think those two might not even be sorcerers.”
“If they’re not sorcerers, how can they move so fast?” the patrolling guard asked curiously. “But if we don’t do anything, what if they cause trouble in the city?”
The patrol captain assured him, “What damage can the two of them cause—”
Boom!
Before he could finish speaking, everyone in the patrol squad looked over in shock. Through the curtain of rain, they saw a warehouse not far away collapsing.
“It’s the granary!” a patrolling guard exclaimed. “That area is filled with granaries.”
As soon as he finished speaking, one by one, the rest of the granaries collapsed.
In the heavy rain, the patrolling guards’ jaws all dropped. They did not know what expression to make.
One of the guards slowly said, “Captain, four granaries have been destroyed. Even if we don’t report it, this should mean the end for our patrol squad, right?!”
Wang Congyang heard the sound of buildings collapsing behind him. It frightened him so badly his balls shrank. He could only blame himself for being too immature in the past for provoking such a monster.
A moment later, Wang Congyang heard the rushing wind behind him. He spun around and saw Ren Xiaosu, who had activated his armor, throwing a punch at him.
Wang Congyang was shocked. ‘I didn’t even fucking use a gun and you’re already resorting to your ultimate move. You scared or something?!‘
In an instant, the fist reached his face. Wang Congyang roared, “Cauldron, activate!”
A large black cauldron with a diameter of two meters suddenly appeared between Ren Xiaosu and Wang Congyang.
With a dull thud, the armor’s fist hit the black cauldron. Then Wang Congyang was sent flying together with the cauldron as it vibrated buzzingly!
Wang Congyang tumbled with the black cauldron and crashed into a wall so hard it collapsed. He coughed up blood. “Are you fucking human?”
This was not an insult but a doubt he really had. Could Ren Xiaosu have already surpassed the level of mortals?!
After that, Wang Congyang took advantage of Ren Xiaosu countering the reaction force to scamper back onto his feet, disappearing into an alley a street over.
A middle-aged man inside the house was staring blankly through a hole in the wall as he looked at the armor standing upright in the rain outside. The gray armor was glowing with a metallic luster.
As he looked at the armor, Ren Xiaosu looked back at him in the suit.
The middle-aged man gulped. “What the fuck…”
Ren Xiaosu took out a piece of gold and flicked it to the middle-aged man before continuing his pursuit in the rain.
Wang Congyang already felt that something was not right. With Ren Xiaosu’s strength, there shouldn’t be a need to activate the armor to deal with him. Moreover, there was no need for him to resort to the most primitive form of attack either—punching.
Based on Wang Congyang’s understanding of Ren Xiaosu, he knew they were no longer on the same level. It would not actually be that difficult for the other party to capture him.
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu must have some other motive.
Wang Congyang’s greatest strength had never been his superpower, but his self-awareness.
When he encountered Li Shentan back then, he fled before they could engage in battle. When he encountered Ren Xiaosu in the Sacred Mountains and Stronghold 73, he did the same thing as well.
If Wang Congyang had acted beyond his capability even once, he would not have lived for so long.
He could not understand why Ren Xiaosu was wreaking havoc here in a city of the Kingdom of Sorcerers.
But it did not matter even if he could not figure it out. All he could do now was run for his life. There was no other choice.
Wang Congyang continued to traverse the streets of the city. When he turned around to take a look, he could no longer see Ren Xiaosu.
If it were anyone else, they would probably heave a sigh of relief and feel at ease. But Wang Congyang was different. He knew Ren Xiaosu must still be following him.
A second later, his expression changed drastically, because he saw a figure wearing a white mask waiting for him at the intersection ahead.
Wang Congyang turned back around and saw Ren Xiaosu, who had already put away his armor, standing in the rain in his black cloak.
“Bro, just what do you want?” Wang Congyang was on the verge of breaking down. “It hasn’t been easy for me these past few years. We’re both grown-ups. Can’t you empathize a little?!”
“When you led the bandits to the valley to ambush me back then, why didn’t you think that this day would come?” Ren Xiaosu asked with a smile.
Wang Congyang was not someone who would resign himself and wait for death. A steam locomotive with five carriages broke out of the void between Ren Xiaosu and Old Xu’s encirclement, smashing right through a building by the roadside and creating an opening for Wang Congyang.
When the steam locomotive drove past, Wang Congyang grabbed a metal handrail on the train and went into it. Meanwhile, the train steamed to the next street.
Ren Xiaosu raised an eyebrow. He was surprised that,after not seeing Wang Congyang for a long time, his steam locomotive had grown from four to five carriages.
Wang Congyang tried his best to control the direction of the steam locomotive so it would not crash into the houses on the road.
However, the buildings in the Kingdom of Sorcerers were arranged compactly and the roads were narrow, so it was inevitable that the steam locomotive would get out of control sometimes and hit something.
The steam locomotive scraped past a row of buildings loudly, turning the well-built houses into partially open-air buildings.
A couple happened to be making out at home, and just as the two of them lay on the bed in each other’s arms, a wall in their house was suddenly torn down.
The two of them turned their heads and looked outside in confusion. Right after, they saw a second steam locomotive rumbling past the street outside, splashing the pouring rain everywhere.
They even saw someone in a black cloak at the front of the train shouting at them, “Sorrrr-rrry!”
When the steam locomotive collided with an obstacle, the force of the violent collision was supposed to get reflected back to its user. If Wang Congyang had done this in the past, he would probably have coughed up blood before he could even bring down two buildings.
But now, by covering the front of the train with the black cauldron, it greatly alleviated the backlash from the collisions.
The events stunned Ren Xiaosu. He had not expected Wang Congyang to actually use the black cauldron and steam locomotive powers as a combo.
Ear-piercing horns raised the alarm in the city as the two steam locomotives sped through the streets one behind the other. The huge commotion had woken up the entirety of Winston City from their deep slumber, including the House of Winston’s sorcerers, who quickly rushed in the direction of the chaos.
