The First Order
chapter-1165-30041322

Everything was kickstarted by the inertia of the steam locomotive. It was like this for Old Xu’s airborne jump, and it was also the same for Ren Xiaosu who broke through the Garudas’ defense in his armor.

Before the 16-car steam locomotive crashed into the Winston Manor, it was acceleration all the way for Ren Xiaosu. He kept accelerating and accelerating!

He knew exactly how he should deal with sorcerers. All he needed to do was to close the distance between them, and he could… kill them.

On the final stretch of the charge into the Winston Manor, the steam locomotive was traveling at a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu and Old Xu, using the train’s inertia, pushed off from the front of the train at an even faster speed!

On his train, Wang Congyang looked behind him and realized at this moment he was never Ren Xiaosu’s primary target. The other party had pursued him so he could find out the whereabouts of the Winston family and use the huge chaos in the city to gather these sorcerers together.

Wang Congyang understood the other party had not treated him as a serious opponent at all.

Although it sounded very humiliating to say that, he actually felt a sense of relief!

“Good luck to all of you,” Wang Congyang said with a sigh at the Winston Manor as he gradually got further and further away. Ren Xiaosu had activated his armor, so it could be considered as resorting to his ultimate move.

As a battle-hardened person himself, Wang Congyang knew full well how it would end for those fragile sorcerers if they allowed someone like Ren Xiaosu to get close to them.

It might not be realistic to say all the sorcerers would get killed. After all, the Winston family still had some trump cards of their own. However, it would probably not be an issue to kill half of them.

The black saber in Old Xu’s hand had already slashed down at the Winston family’s patriarch’s head. Under the force of the black saber, the defensive shield formed by the flame aura started cracking with a honeycomb pattern and spreading inch by inch.

But just as the black saber was about to split the patriarch in half, his sorcerer’s robe started burning.

In an instant, a huge flame enveloped the Winston family’s patriarch. When the black saber’s blade slashed through the flames, it cut through air. There was nothing within the flames at all!

Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu, who was wrapped in armor, had already arrived in front of Archmage Alston and threw a punch at him!

Alston held his red Eye of True Sight and recited an incantation. A circular flame aura similar to that of the Winston family’s patriarch spread out, seemingly material.

However, the moment that layer of flame aura collided with Ren Xiaosu’s fist, a copious wave of fire erupted at the point of impact. Ren Xiaosu was fine, but the archmage in front of him was sent flying by the blast.

But just as Ren Xiaosu was about to follow up with a hit to finish him off, Alston’s sorcerer’s robe also started burning. After the flames dissipated, the spot where Alston should have been lying was empty.

In the distance, two balls of flames started burning out of thin air. When the flames dissipated, the figures of the two archmages could be seen again.

Ren Xiaosu frowned. This was probably a unique skill the Winston family used to protect themselves from dying. It was the kind of skill not revealed to the rest of the world after it was discovered.

However, Ren Xiaosu was a little curious about something. What was the principle behind this spell? Could it be that his opponents could keep using flames to take their place in death? That would really take him some effort to overcome then.

In the end, when Ren Xiaosu looked around, he was surprised to see two young sorcerers a short distance away bleeding from their orifices and dying. Their blood had formed a mysterious magic circle on the ground.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu realized the Flame Substitute spell was probably similar to the Tudor family’s Bloodline Summoning spell. They were both cast through blood ties, and the caster would have to use one of their children as “fuel” for the spell each time it was cast!

Ren Xiaosu gasped. It was no wonder the sorcerer clans liked having so many children. So it turned out they could be of great use at critical moments.

This Bloodline spell was very powerful, but it was just a great waste of sons.

Ren Xiaosu wondered if his black medicine would sell well here since the sorcerers were getting on in years. There would definitely be times when they could not perform as well anymore.

Of course, thinking about a sales strategy for the black medicine at this moment was a little arrogant. Ren Xiaosu and Old Xu might as well take out the young sorcerers around them first.

Since the archmages were using their sons as scapegoats, rather than going after them directly, wouldn’t it be easier to kill their sons instead?

However, the sorcerer clans really had quite a few youngsters. Ren Xiaosu wondered where he should start from.

Ren Xiaosu was very calm in battle. His combat awareness far exceeded that of normal people. In just an instant, he knew who he should make his moves on first. Whoever had a higher grade of Eye of True Sight would get targeted first!

When Old Xu and Ren Xiaosu rushed into the crowd, some members of the Knights of the Hymn rushed forward to protect the sorcerers. But without exception, their bones were all shattered by the collision.

Without the protection of the archmages, Ren Xiaosu was like a wolf rushing into a herd of sheep. He did not give the junior sorcerers a chance to recite their incantations at all!

In just a few seconds, Ren Xiaosu and Old Xu had already killed more than 30 young sorcerers and even stolen their Eyes of True Sight.

It was slightly easier for Ren Xiaosu since he could put away the Eyes of True Sight in his storage space without any hassle.

But it was different for Old Xu. It had to use the hem of its jacket to temporarily hold the Eyes of True Sight while slashing at the enemy with its black saber.

Some of the junior sorcerers recited their incantations speedily while retreating. However, they suddenly realized these two enemies that came rushing at their Winston family were too ferocious. They did not even dodge at the sight of Flame Wall and barged right through it!

Meanwhile, spells like Fireball, which were projectiles, all missed their targets.

In the face of Ren Xiaosu’s athleticism, the fragile sorcerers looked as though they were moving in slow motion.

The three archmages who had gone a distance away to avoid the attacks immediately turned anxious. If these two monsters continued on with their slaughter, the House of Winston might very well get wiped out.

“Sea of Fire!”

Alston, Abel, and the patriarch of the House of Winston suddenly held each other’s hands. Intense flames spread out from under their feet and quickly set the ground ablaze as though someone had poured gasoline on it.

The buildings in the Winston Manor were instantly burned to ash, and the magnificent decorations were all gone in an instant.

But they could not care so much anymore. If they did not risk everything tonight, the Winston family could cease to exist!

Ren Xiaosu looked at the sea of fire that was coming to surround him. Then he laughed.

To be honest, he really had no intention of wiping out the entire Winston family tonight. After all, he still needed the Winstons to work together with the Berkeleys for their expedition against the northern counties. That was supposed to be the main event.

Ren Xiaosu’s voice boomed through the armor, “The House of Tudor already knows about your ambitions with the House of Berkeley. The patriarch asked me to send you his regards.”

When his voice reverberated through the armor, it became exceptionally deep.

Ren Xiaosu knew this was a very unbelievable statement to make and that the other party might not be convinced by it either. However, he was already used to doing things spontaneously anyway, and who knew if it might just prove useful somehow?
