The wall was smashed to pieces.
However, Batman was fine.
Besides a strong physique and mastery of various fighting and martial arts, Batman's strength also lay in his equipment.
Not to mention the tank-like Batmobile, Batman's Batsuit was no ordinary item. It was a product of futuristic technology developed by Wayne Enterprises with considerable human and material resources. It not only possessed formidable defense but also various resistances.
At the very least, its heat resistance was absolutely top-notch. An explosion at such close range had not inflicted much damage on Batman.
So…
It was time for poison.
Drip, drip!
Bai Ye spread his hands, and purple venom quickly appeared on his skin, continuously dripping down.
Then…
"Poison Dragon!"
Bai Ye grunted, then took a sudden stride forward and unleashed a punch.
The purple venom coalesced, transforming into a dragon shape, and lunged at Batman with bared fangs and brandished claws.
Batman's movements were swift. He quickly dodged to the side, and the Poison Dragon slammed into the wall, scattering into venom all around.
Batman's arm was splashed by the venom, emitting a "sizzle, sizzle" sound, with wisps of white smoke continuously rising.
Then…
Bai Ye was astonished!
Batman was also astonished!
Bai Ye was surprised that his venom had caused corrosive damage to Batman's suit, but it had only affected the surface. It had not penetrated the suit or harmed Batman.
Batman, on the other hand, was surprised that Bai Ye possessed more than one mutant ability. Secondly, the corrosive potency of the venom far exceeded Batman's imagination. Although he was wearing only the basic version of his standard suit, it was made of specially crafted super-alloy material, resistant to high temperatures, extreme cold, and corrosion. Yet, it had been corroded in an instant.
Both were stunned for half a second, neither making a move. Then…
Bai Ye recovered slightly faster and immediately blew forward.
"Poison Cloud!"
A large cloud of purple smoke was spewed from Bai Ye's mouth, drifting outwards before surging forward, his fist aimed at Batman.
Immediately after…
Bang!
Batman raised his hand, caught Bai Ye's punch, then yanked Bai Ye's clothes, lifting him and smashing him into the counter on the side.
With a dull thud, the glass of the counter shattered. Bai Ye grimaced, cursing inwardly.
What happened to the five senses deprivation?
However, glancing at the cowl Batman was wearing, Bai Ye could somewhat guess the reason. That thing was most likely designed to be poison-proof!
"I hate you tech-wielding guys the most!"
Seeing Batman raise his fist, Bai Ye quickly flipped over, landing off the counter, and swept forward with his fingers formed into a claw.
As Bai Ye's fingers swept through the air, flames ignited in the air, and then…
"Flame Burst!"
Bai Ye grunted, and the flames drifting in the air immediately exploded!
Boom!
Amidst the explosion, a blazing fireball erupted.
Batman's body was once again pushed back by the blast wave. As the surrounding flames dissipated, Batman looked up to see Bai Ye raising his fist again, the purple venom coalescing once more.
"Poison Dragon!"
Bai Ye threw a punch swiftly.
A large amount of venom condensed again, quickly reforming into a dragon shape and lunging forward.
The corrosion resistance of the Batsuit was beyond Bai Ye's expectations. However, corrosion resistance did not mean it was immune to corrosion.
Since one punch was ineffective, he would use two. If two were ineffective, he would use three…
Until Batman's Batsuit was corroded away!
Meanwhile, Batman quickly flipped over the collapsed counter and took cover behind a glass wall.
The Poison Dragon struck the glass wall, shattering into pieces in an instant.
However, although it did not hit directly, the scattered corrosive venom landed all around, leaving Batman nowhere to step.
Bai Ye grinned and spread his hands again.
"Poison Dragon!"
He threw a third punch, and the purple venom condensed again, advancing towards Batman.
When the Poison Dragon shattered, the venom had completely scattered around. While Batman was not directly splattered, he could no longer move freely, or he would inevitably come into contact with the venom.
At this moment…
Batman suddenly produced a black handgun. However, he did not aim it at Bai Ye but at the side.
In the next instant, a grappling hook was fired, smashing through the glass and latching onto a lamppost by the roadside. As the rope tightened, Batman was yanked away.
Bai Ye saw a black shadow flash before his eyes, and Batman had already bypassed him, grabbed the lamppost, and leaped up to its top.
Bai Ye stepped over the shattered iron gate and arrived at the shop's entrance, looking up to meet Batman's gaze.
A moment later, Batman fired his grapple gun again, aiming at the roof of a building on the side. After latching onto the rooftop, he swiftly disappeared as the rope retracted.
He ran?
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin, then burst into laughter.
To make the Dark Knight of the City of Sin retreat was quite satisfying.
However, Bai Ye knew this was not the end, only the beginning.
Batman would not give up so easily. His current retreat was simply because he had thoroughly assessed the situation and knew that apprehending Bai Ye would not be easy. Therefore, Batman had to rethink his strategy. As for whether retreating was shameful, Batman would not consider it. After all, one of Batman's abilities was that of a master tactician, so for him, retreat was merely a tactic.
And being targeted by Batman was definitely going to be a troublesome matter.
At the same time, Bai Ye also knew that he was not only being targeted by Batman.
Based on his experience in the City of Sin in his previous life, Bai Ye knew that Chosen Ones from the Order Faction could check their sin value through a luminous screen.
Of course, not all Chosen Ones from the Sin Faction could be viewed. It was only when their sin value exceeded 500 points and ranked among the top ten that they would appear to the Chosen Ones of the Order Faction.
This meant…
That many Chosen Ones would also be targeting Bai Ye. After all, a sin value exceeding five hundred points…
This meant that if they could defeat Bai Ye, they would receive a large amount of Order Points!
"So, I have to speed things up!" Bai Ye looked at his sin value and murmured, "I need to max out my sin value as soon as possible, then start the mission."
