Chapter 184 Xia Pingzhou vs. Traffic Lights (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Under the neon lights that blended red and black, the empty underground bar was a mess. The three-dimensional lettering of "Garden of Eden" on the wall was splattered with blood, still flickering in the crimson light.

Xia Pingzhou and the red streetlight stared at each other.

The latter, gripping the lamppost, rushed forward, while the former reached out and touched the roundabout. The chess shadow shattered with a "crack," and two silver soldiers suddenly appeared, blocking the traffic lights.

With a clang, they knelt down on one knee, raised their left-hand shields, and formed a shield wall in front of them.

In the blink of an eye, the traffic light roared, swung its arm to gain leverage, and swung its pole, smashing the lampshade diagonally against the shield wall.

At the same time, a "green" light emanated from the lampshade.

Xia Pingzhou's heart stirred slightly; he was naturally aware of the ability mechanism of his former comrade-in-arms:

When the lampshade emits a "red light", enemies hit by the lamp post will be unable to move.

When the lampshade emits a "green light", enemies attacked by the lamp post will experience a stronger impact.
When the lampshade emits a "yellow light," the lamp post will vibrate forward and send out a shockwave with a very wide range.

At that moment, the traffic light pole was enveloped in a deep green light, and the huge lampshade slammed into the shield wall in front of it!

With a deafening crash, the destructive force of the impact spread instantly from the top of the lamppost. Thousands of cracks spread across the shields, like ravines in a cliff, and then the shields of the two soldiers shattered.

The silver soldiers did not sit idly by and wait to die. They simultaneously sprang up from the ground, raised their swords, and stabbed at the red light!
A sharp gust of wind brushed against his cheek. However, the red streetlight merely swung its pole, and the oncoming blade shattered into a shower of iron.

Immediately, the soldiers' bodies were sent flying to the side by the enormous impact.

One after another, they were embedded in the wall, creating deep pits.

The traffic light exhaled hot air from its nostrils and angrily raised its head, only to suddenly see a silver meteor hurtling towards it, like a dark train crashing into it head-on.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses' hooves, loud enough to drown out the world, filled the air!
He squinted, and the moment the silver light entered his pupils, he finally saw the other person's true face: it was a knight riding on an iron horse!

The knight colossus slammed its saddle, charged forward, and with the power of its authority, pointed its lance forward, its entire body enveloped in a silver light as it galloped toward the traffic light!

Before the traffic light could react, it was swallowed up by the oncoming silver meteor and carried away.

The Knight Statue's "Charge" ability is unstoppable and will pull and drag enemies along the way to the end of the charge.

"The Salvation Society is on its way, we must act quickly... As long as Ke Qirui uses the movie demon to take the red light away, then even the three children from the Salvation Society in the movie world should not be able to keep up the pursuit."

Thinking of this, Xia Pingzhou reached out again and picked up the two chess pieces on the ring road, crushing them.

The two silver cannons arrived as scheduled and were positioned on the left and right sides, not far from Xia Pingzhou.

They simultaneously moved their cannons, aimed at the back of the knight statue, and then fired in unison.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Amidst the roar, the fire spurting from the cannons instantly illuminated the dimly lit underground bar.

Two dark shells shot out from different angles, their final destination being the "final destination of the charge".

The traffic light was being dragged backward by the knight colossus's lance, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free from the lance's suction force.

But silently, the lampshade turned yellow.

In an instant, the traffic light roared and swung its pole, sending a violent shockwave forward that turned all the tables, chairs, and obstacles along the way to ashes.

At the same time, the two shells were intercepted in mid-air.

The artillery fire exploded with a deafening roar, flames shooting into the sky and burning through the ceiling, but it failed to reach the red street lamp; instead, the invisible shockwave, carrying flames in the air, rushed straight toward Xia Pingzhou.

Facing the oncoming blazing inferno, Xia Pingzhou uttered four words:
"Castling."

As soon as he finished speaking, he switched places with one of the artillery vehicles positioned in the corner.

With a deafening roar, the cannon was bathed in a fiery glow, taking the brunt of the shockwave in Xia Pingzhou's place. With a snap, its intricate structure shattered, then completely disintegrated, countless gears and parts flying through the air before being consumed by the flames.

On the other side, at the very moment the "Charge" ability ended, the traffic light blocked the knight colossus's lance with its lampshade.

The light emitted by the lampshade suddenly turned "red," and the knight statue that touched the light froze instantly, its huge figure still on its horse, unable to move.

The red light suddenly sprang up, grabbed his neck, pulled him off the horse and threw him to the ground, then used the lamppost to stab him from top to bottom, piercing the heart of the knight colossus.

Despite witnessing this brutal scene, Xia Pingzhou's expression remained as calm as a deep ravine.

He reached out and picked up two pieces of chess pieces on the ring road that were crackling with deep blue lightning. These were one-time-use demon chess pieces he had collected in Venice—"Blue Electric Rat Demons".

The two chess pieces scattered with the wind, and in their place, two beams of deep blue lightning suddenly rose in the dim world.

Looking closely, one could see two blue electric rat demons leaping back and forth at high speed in the bar, forming a dazzling pillar of lightning that bounced toward the traffic light.

But just as they approached the traffic light, the red light shone down, and their figures seemed to freeze in mid-air, the electric light dissipating.

"When the light turns red, it's not that you're immobilized when hit by the lamppost, but rather that you're controlled when illuminated by the light?" Xia Pingzhou frowned, thinking to himself.

The traffic light growled and swept across the lamppost, instantly crushing the two blue electric mice into a cloud of blood mist.

After several rounds of probing, Xia Pingzhou remained expressionless as he reached out and picked up the slender and elegant chess piece on the ring track.

He played his trump card. The instant the chess pieces shattered, a silvery-white lightning bolt flashed in the dim world, hurtling towards the traffic light with unstoppable force.

The traffic light reacted quickly, flicking the lamppost forward and striking the blurry image ahead.

A dazzling red light emanated from the lampshade, spreading forward like a tidal wave, almost enveloping the body of the Queen statue.

However, in that instant, the Queen Colossus activated "Voidification," and its slender and magnificent body became transparent.

In a flash, she passed straight through the oncoming lamppost and the massive body of the traffic light, like a bubble or a phantom.

Immediately afterwards, the Queen statue behind the traffic light suddenly turned around, changed the long dagger in her right hand to a reverse grip, and pierced through the back of the traffic light in an instant.

Black blood spurted out. The traffic light hissed.

At this moment, Xia Pingzhou crushed another one-time use demon chess piece.

The "Garbage Mountain Demon" fell from the sky. This giant object, made up of countless scraps, banana peels, and broken furniture, crashed down and slammed onto the top of the traffic light.

Sensing the shadow spreading down from above, the traffic light instinctively reacted, raising its pole to prevent the mountain of garbage from crushing it.

However, the weight of the garbage mountain was not to be underestimated. In an instant, it pressed cracks and deep pits into the bar floor, and the traffic light sank deeper and deeper until it was finally crushed by the garbage mountain.

He was swallowed up by the pile of junk and fell into the crater at his feet.

But the next second, a violent yellow light suddenly burst forth from the mountain of garbage.

An invisible, colorless shockwave spread out, instantly disintegrating the Garbage Mountain Demon's body. Rotten, filthy waste flew out like snowflakes. In an instant, the entire bar was enveloped in a pungent odor.

Xia Pingzhou raised his arm and held it across his forehead to block the oncoming trash.

But just then, the traffic light roared and rushed toward him, its eyes flashing a violent glint in the air.

"Shadow Demon".

Xia Pingzhou raised his eyes and calmly looked at the traffic light that was pouncing like a leopard, releasing the power of the contracted demon.

The shadow demon chuckled sinisterly, dragging Xia Pingzhou's body into the shadows beneath its feet. Immediately afterward, the Queen statue leaped forward, stomping hard on a pillar to its side, and like a silver lightning bolt, approached the traffic light's back, its twin daggers piercing the light's shoulder blades.

She was like someone trying to tame a raging elephant, refusing to let go of the two daggers from his shoulders no matter how much the traffic light struggled and roared.

After a while, the Queen statue seized the opportunity. With all its might, it twisted the two daggers, and the blades that pierced the other's body were like a blender, grinding the red light's shoulder blade into dust.

At the same time, two bloody holes were cut out.

Blood gushed out like a waterfall from the wound behind the traffic light.

At that moment, the Shadow Demon released Xia Pingzhou's shoulder, freeing him from the shadows.

Xia Pingzhou looked up and saw that the traffic light was still struggling hysterically, so he crushed the disposable demon chess piece - "Magician Demon".

The chess pieces shattered, and a humanoid demon wearing a magician's hat and a gorgeous suit suddenly appeared in front of him.

The demon lowered his tall hat, grinned, and waved his slender magic wand, shooting a beam of light forward that struck the head of the traffic light.

The red light released its grip on the lamppost, struggled for a while while clutching its head, then became drowsy and collapsed like a swaying little mountain.

Xia Pingzhou stared blankly at the traffic light.

The traffic light's head drooped, its eyelids were closed, and the muscles that had been bulging on its body showed a slight tendency to contract.

The menacing face of the traffic light was reflected in his dark eyes, and Xia Pingzhou could not reconcile this face with the gentle captain, "Shi Yimin."

He knew perfectly well that Red Light was just a second-tier exorcist. Unless they were exceptionally rare monsters like Ke Qirui and the Ripper, their strength was at most at the peak of the Dragon level.

But he never imagined that dealing with the traffic lights would be so difficult...

The strength of the red light exceeded his expectations. This seemed to be because the red light was in an extremely berserk state, completely ignoring the damage it had suffered, and was overdrawing its potential like a dying beast.

A normal person could never do that.

As for why Red Light went berserk, we'll have to wait until the Ghost Train group takes him back before Black Chrysalis uses the Restraint Mantra to investigate the truth from him.

“There’s still time… before the Salvation Society arrives, hand him over to the Train Regiment.” Xia Pingzhou thought, “But Ke Qirui hasn’t arrived yet, it’s been so long.”

Suddenly, a movie screen appeared in the underground bar, and then four figures dressed in different clothes walked out from it.

The leader was a woman wearing a brown trench coat and a stag hat. Her hands were in her trench coat pockets, and she wore a vintage-style one-way mirror over her right eye.

The Ghost Train troupe arrived as scheduled.

After getting a clear view of the underground bar, Ke Qirui raised an eyebrow in surprise and glanced at Xia Pingzhou from under the brim of her hat.

She lowered the brim of her hat, thinking to herself: Did Xia Pingzhou defeat the red light? He was really fast; it must have been the intelligence Black Chrysalis provided him... But it's only been a short while since we arrived here.

Su Zimai, dressed in a black suit, frowned as she met the gaze of this man with eyes as cold as a wolf's after a week.

She had heard that "Red Light" was one of the best among second-tier exorcists, with strength close to that of a quasi-disaster level, but she did not expect that before they even arrived, Red Light had been dealt with by Xia Pingzhou, and the battle lasted less than a minute.

Xu Sanyan and Lin Zhengquan had both silently summoned their Sky Chasers. They were unsure whether Xia Pingzhou was an enemy; his stance was far too ambiguous, and he had almost killed Su Zimai at the auction.

At this moment, Ke Qirui was cautiously observing her surroundings, seemingly trying to determine if the members of the White Raven Brigade were nearby.

After confirming that there was no one else around, she turned her gaze to Xia Pingzhou.

“I don’t have time to fight with you right now…” Xia Pingzhou slowly turned his head and met Ke Qirui’s eyes, signaling her not to say anything out of line. “I advise you to let me go.”

“It’s possible, but you have to let go of our goals,” Ke Qirui said. “We weren’t here for you in the first place.”

“No problem, I don’t know him anyway, you can do whatever you want with him,” Xia Pingzhou said.

After saying that, he ordered the Queen statue to pull out the two daggers stuck in the red lamp, then retrieved the chess pieces, turned around nonchalantly, and walked with the Queen statue toward the backup exit at the back of the bar.

Su Zimai was stunned for a moment, then asked with a stern face, "Commander, are we just going to let him go like this?"

"Otherwise, do you want people to scare you to death again?" Xu Sanyan sneered.

"Alright, stop teasing Xiaomai," Lin Zhengquan said.

“Xiaomai, calm down,” Ke Qirui said. “The White Raven Brigade might be nearby. If we fight them, it will cause unnecessary trouble.”

As they spoke, their gazes fell upon Xia Pingzhou's retreating figure.

However, at that moment, his figure suddenly paused slightly.

"It was so fast..." Xia Pingzhou murmured silently, his eyes darting around.

Two seconds later, he slowly stopped and turned his head to look at the entrance along with the Queen statue.

Ke Qirui was about to check the damage to the traffic light when she saw Xia Pingzhou suddenly stop. She looked up at him and asked:
"what happened?"

The queen statue squinted, and the cold, deep blue flames within her eye sockets burned fiercely.

The next instant, a deafening whooshing sound came, followed by a white cloud rushing into the bar like a whirlwind.

The four members of the Ghost Train group were startled at the same time, and then turned their heads alertly.

At that very moment, above the surging, wave-like clouds, sat five children dressed in white hospital gowns.

"Commander, who are these children..." Su Zimai frowned and murmured.

"Somersault Cloud?"

Ke Qirui murmured to herself, looking up at the clouds churning in the sky, and then at the figure above them.

The thin boy sitting at the very back had his head down, his eyes hidden by his bangs. He was holding a white-haired girl in his arms, and the girl was holding a small notebook.

In the middle is a blond, blue-eyed boy who is looking down at his PSP, showing no intention of looking up.

Further ahead was a black-haired boy with a wolf tail and wolf ears, whose dark eyes were as deep as a deep abyss.

The leader of the five was a girl with long, dark red hair. She had her eyes closed, and the next second, a dazzling red light suddenly burst forth from her chest, causing her red hair to dance high in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a dark gold long staff appeared in her hand.

The red-haired girl opened her eyes, gripped the dark gold staff, slowly raised her head, and looked majestically at the people present.

"None of you are allowed to move."

As she spoke, a confident smile curved her lips.
