Chapter 183: Xia Pingzhou vs. Red Light
Under the red and black gradient neon lights, the empty underground bar was in disarray. The 3D text "Garden of Eden" on the wall was splattered with filthy blood, flickering ominously in the redness.
Xia Pingzhou and the Red Traffic Light locked eyes.
The latter charged forward with the lantern pole in hand; the former reached for the loop, and with a "crack," two Silver Soldiers suddenly appeared, blocking the Red Traffic Light's path.
With a resonant clang, they half-kneeled on the ground, raised their shields in their left hands to form a shield wall across the way.
In an instant, the Red Traffic Light roared, swung the lantern pole with borrowed strength, and the lamp cover slammed obliquely onto the shield wall.
At the same time, the lamp cover started radiating "green" light.
Xia Pingzhou felt a slight stir inside; he naturally understood the ability mechanism of this former comrade:
When the lamp cover emits "red light," enemies struck by the lantern pole become immobilized;
When it emits "green light," enemies attacked by the lantern pole experience enhanced impact;
When it emits "yellow light," the lantern pole emits a wide-ranging shockwave forward.
At this moment, the lantern pole of the Red Traffic Light was enveloped in deep green light, the massive lamp cover crashing into the shield wall before it!
"Boom—!" With a thunderous sound, a devastating impact instantly spread from the top of the lantern pole. Countless cracks spread across the shield, resembling crevices in a cliff, and then the shields of the two soldiers shattered.
The Silver Soldiers did not wait for defeat; they simultaneously sprang up from the ground, raising their swords to strike at the Red Traffic Light!
The fierce sword wind brushed past his cheeks. Yet, the Red Traffic Light merely swung the lantern pole, turning the oncoming blades into a rain of iron shards.
Soon after, the soldiers' bodies flew sideways under the immense impact.
One after another, they embedded in the wall, forming deep pits.
The Red Traffic Light snorted out hot air, raised his head in fury, only to suddenly see a silver meteor charging towards him, like a dark train crashing head-on.
Then, a sound of hoofbeats capable of drowning the world rang in his ears!
He squinted his eyes, and in the moment the silver light reflected in his pupils, he finally saw the opponent's true form: it was a Knight riding on an iron horse!
The Knight Giant slapped the saddle, charging on horseback, empowered by authority, pointing his long spear forward, his entire body wrapped in a sheet of silver light, rushing towards the Red Traffic Light!
The Red Traffic Light had not yet reacted before he was engulfed by the sweeping silver meteor, carried backward.
The "Charge" authority of the Knight Statue, this move cannot be intercepted, and will absorb and drag all enemies in its path to the end of the charge.
"The Salvation Society members are on their way; we must fight swiftly... As long as Ke Qirui uses the Movie Demon to take the Red Traffic Light away, then even those three children of the Salvation Society should not be able to continue their pursuit in the Movie World."
Thinking of this, Xia Pingzhou reached out again to pinch two chess pieces from the loop, and crushed them.
Two Silver Cannon Carriages arrived as expected, deployed respectively not far to Xia Pingzhou's left and right.
They both shifted their cannons, aiming at the back of the Knight Statue, and immediately fired.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
In the roar, the fire snakes spewed from the cannons instantly illuminated the flickering underground bar.
Two dark shells shot out from different angles, their ultimate destination being the "end of the charge."
The Red Traffic Light was being dragged back by the long spear of the Knight Giant, struggling helplessly against the absorbing force of the spear.
But quietly, the color of the lamp cover changed to "yellow."
In an instant, the Red Traffic Light roared, swinging the lantern pole to send a frenzied shockwave forward, turning all tables, chairs, and obstacles along the way into ashes.
Simultaneously intercepting the two shells in mid-air.
The artillery exploded thunderously, flames soared, piercing through the ceiling but failed to affect the Red Traffic Light; rather, the invisible shockwave, wrapped in the flames in the air, rushed straight towards Xia Pingzhou.
Facing the surging flame curtain, Xia Pingzhou chanted four words:
"Castling."
As the words fell, he swapped positions with one of the cannons set in the corner.
With a rumble, the cannon bathed in red firelight, took the impact of the shockwave instead of Xia Pingzhou. With a "crack," the intricate structure shattered completely, thousands of gears and parts flying in the air, swallowed by the flames.
On the other side, at the moment the "Charge" authority ended, the Red Traffic Light blocked the Knight Giant's long spear with the lamp cover.
The light radiating from the lamp cover suddenly shifted to "red," and thus the Knight Giant touched by the light instantly froze, the enormous figure motionless on the horse, unable to move.
The Red Traffic Light sprang up, raised a hand to clasp his neck, pulling him off the horse, and slammed him to the ground, then stabbed down with the lamp pole, piercing the heart of the Knight Giant.
Watching this brutal scene, Xia Pingzhou's expression remained as calm as an abyss.
He reached out to pinch two chess pieces flickering with deep blue electric light from the loop; these were single-use Demon Chess Species he collected in Venice— "Blue Electric Mouse Demon."
The two chess pieces scattered with the wind, and in place, two beams of deep blue lightning suddenly rose in the dim world.
Looking intently, two Blue Electric Mouse Demons bounced rapidly back and forth in the bar, forming a dazzling column of lightning, bouncing towards the Red Traffic Light.
But just as they approached the Red Traffic Light, the red light shone upon them; their forms seemingly petrified, paused in mid-air, and the electric light dissipated.
