Chapter 642: Chapter 367: The Tier Three Chess Player, Xia Pingzhou vs. Black Sun Demon

As she spoke, she glanced towards a corner of the city out of the corner of her eye, only to see a white-haired girl in black tight clothing speeding towards the sky on an extended ice surface.

Xia Pingzhou followed her gaze, and sure enough, it was Rainbow Wings’ "Extreme Ice Maiden" You Ruirui.

He was slightly taken aback.

It was only now that he remembered that Li Jing also had such a Catastrophe Level figure—You Ruirui had just run to Gu Qiye’s house yesterday, just to have a look at Gu Qiye’s bedroom.

Thus, it wasn’t surprising that she was still in Li Jing today and happened to encounter this disaster.

At this moment, You Ruirui was bending slightly and walking on ice. The glacier beneath her feet continued to extend upwards, carrying her over collapsed skyscrapers.

Like the most elegant and swift ice dancer, she rescued the distressed people from the rooftops, sending their figures down the steep glacier.

The figures of the victims gathered on the ice surface like ants, screaming as they slid towards the ground—a roller coaster-like experience. Fortunately, everyone landed safely, evacuating in an orderly fashion under police coordination.

You Ruirui did not forget to create ice spikes, tearing apart the shadow tentacles clinging to the skyscrapers.

She slowly and peacefully raised her head, her snow-white hair dancing in the swirling ice dust, her ice-blue pupils reflecting the black sun.

At the same time, on the other side of the city, Li Jing’s signature Mutant "Swallowing Silver" had also arrived.

His attire was simple, only wearing a silver helmet and a pink pajama set. It seemed he had been vacationing at home early in the morning when he received an emergency official notice and hurriedly came over without even having time to change into his battle suit.

At this point, Swallowing Silver’s pajamas tore open, and metal nozzles protruded from his arms and calves, spewing fire and airflow that propelled him through the air like a swallow.

"Damn, this is my turf!"

He roared, crunching the metal shards in his palm, forming a steel giant hand over ten meters long as he flew.

Swallowing Silver swung his right arm downward, his steel hand sweeping across the shadow-cloaked streets, trying to scoop up civilians about to be crushed by skyscrapers, moving them away from the building bases.

Like You Ruirui, his first priority was rescuing people, not dealing with the black sun.

Xia Pingzhou withdrew his gaze from Swallowing Silver and turned to Jack the Ripper, "I just need to kill a demon to reach Tier Three, and this one seems like a good candidate." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"You only reached Tier Two half a month ago, and now you’re already at Tier Three? Who would believe you if you ask?" Yanmo Lin casually questioned, staring straight at the black sun, her black hair dancing in the wind, her school uniform’s skirt slightly billowing, yet her expression remained indifferent.

"I." The kimono girl suddenly spoke.

"She." Xia Pingzhou said impassively.

"You might as well say you want to protect that idiot donkey," Yanmo Lin said coolly, glancing at Xia Pingzhou, "Do you like that Swallowing Silver so much?"

Xia Pingzhou couldn’t be bothered to argue.

In fact, he was completing his card event, incidentally protecting You Ruirui, to avoid Gu Qiye’s emotional collapse upon his return, despite You Ruirui’s strength not really needing his protection.

Suddenly, Ayase Origami raised the sleeve of her kimono, instantly creating a giant paper screen in front of the three of them to block the incoming dust storm.

The gale swept past the sides of the paper screen, shattering the skyscraper windows and mixed with the smell of blood. Many had perished in this sudden disaster.

"Whatever, suit yourselves." Yanmo Lin said expressionlessly, "I’m heading to the train station first. If you miss the train, find your own way to fly over. Being late is your problem."

With those words, she glanced at the two out of the corner of her eye and then walked away without looking back.

"That Rainbow Wings’ Ice Woman went to save people; we probably won’t run into her." Xia Pingzhou looked up at You Ruirui, "Take me up there, and I can handle this demon."

Ayase Origami nodded silently, then lifted her reddish-brown sleeve. The paper pages in her sleeve fell like snowflakes, forming a giant butterfly rising upward.

The butterfly was extravagantly large. It settled on the ground, and Xia Pingzhou and Ayase Origami stood on the wings. As the butterfly spread its wings, it flew towards the sky.

As the butterfly wings spread, they emitted invisible wind blades, slicing through the oncoming shadow tentacles.

The Black Sun Demon noticed their presence, casting its gaze down from the heavens, its eyes narrowed into slits reflecting the oncoming paper butterfly.

By then, Xia Pingzhou was already surrounded by a black-and-white ring path.

He had no intention of holding back or testing the waters.

Reality isn’t like in the comics where you can go from Super Saiyan One to Super Saiyan Five; it’s best to unleash your killing move without reservation from the start, catching them off guard.

He summoned all the Chess Corps at once—King, Knight, Soldier, Bishop, Cannon, Empress—shadows of the majestic figures flashed on the butterfly’s back.

Immediately after, grand and awe-inspiring figures rose from the ground, surrounding Xia Pingzhou’s figure. He slightly raised his head, his black bangs dancing in the fierce wind.
