Chapter 820 - A useless power (1/2)

No one expected a steam locomotive to emerge from the smoke-filled passageway!

Honestly, the warden was surprised to see the alloy gate get blown apart. Someone had clearly detonated the explosives in the passageway between the two gates, resulting in a huge explosion going off within the enclosed space.

But wasn’t the detonator held by Wang Ziyang, the intelligence director? If someone had detonated the explosives, it would mean that… Wang Ziyang was most probably done for.

As the warden was stationed in the secret prison, he was somewhat clueless about current affairs. He knew something had happened outside and that someone had attacked Stronghold 31. However, he did not expect that even Wang Ziyang had met with misfortune.

When the steam locomotive crashed out of the passageway, the smoke from the blast rolled across its body like flowing clouds. It was a grand sight.

However, the most shocking thing was that there was a man in black who was fully wrapped up and standing at the front of the train with a sinister-looking heavy machine gun!

Someone in the smoke-filled passageway shouted, “Wang Congyang, open fire!”

With that, the machine gun the man in black was holding started spitting a barrage of fire. The prison guards who were still in a state of shock just a moment ago died before they could even react!

The combined might of the steam locomotive and the heavy machine gun made it resemble a mobile fortress. Its power was definitely much greater than the sum of its parts.

After going through the entrance of the passageway, the steam locomotive arrived at the square of the secret prison. This secret prison was located under an abandoned multi-purpose training hall and occupied an extremely large area. It also happened to be an excellent place to make use of the steam locomotive.

The warden was livid as he looked at the steam locomotive. He did not expect that someone would dare to act so insolently in his territory!

They even drove a train in here!

The warden suddenly materialized a flying needle and shot it at the steam locomotive.

That flying needle was extremely thin. If one did not look carefully, they would not see it. Furthermore, it was extremely fast, even faster than the steam locomotive itself!

In this chaotic secret prison filled with dust and smoke, a flying needle attack would easily catch the enemy off guard.

The flying needle directly hit the man in black who was firing the machine gun mercilessly at the front of the train. The warden sneered in his head and just thought there would be a few more prisoners in the secret prison after this attack. It felt no different to him from the past.

But when the flying needle hit the man in black, it emitted a silvery glow and enveloped him. Right after, the man in black disappeared into thin air!

Ren Xiaosu, who was hiding in the passageway and did not get onto the steam locomotive, was stunned!

That man in black was “Old Xu,” but Old Xu suddenly returned to the palace and stood there motionlessly. No matter how Ren Xiaosu tried to summon it, there was no response at all. And there was even a fine silver needle stuck in Old Xu’s forehead.

Ren Xiaosu said in a low voice, “Something strange is going on. There seems to be a supernatural being in this secret prison capable of sealing other people’s superpowers!”

Some time ago, when he was battling on Wangchunmen Boulevard in Luoyang City, his steam locomotive was also stopped by someone. However, that supernatural being definitely did not stop it as easily as the warden this time.

Little did Ren Xiaosu know that while he was stunned, the warden was also very shocked. Just as Ji Zi’ang and Ren Xiaosu had guessed, the warden’s superpower could negate another superhuman’s power as long as his silver needle hit the wielder or touched the materialized power of the opponent. Afterwards, the superhuman would not be able to use that power for some time.

Even for Wang Yun whose power was controlling the air, the warden’s flying needles could seal it. This was the reason why he, as the warden, was able to oversee the secret prison!

But the warden did not expect the man in black to actually be a manifestation of someone’s superpower. He thought it was a living person.

The warden thought quietly. He could form one flying needle every three days and store up to three needles in his mind. Now that he had used one of them, there were only two left.

However, he was certain there were only two intruders. Now that he had gotten rid of one of them, he would take out the steam locomotive next!
