The wall shattered from the impact.
However, Batman was unharmed.
Besides his formidable physical prowess, mastery of various combat arts and martial arts, Batman's strength also lay in his equipment.
Setting aside his tank-like Batmobile, Batman's Batsuit was no ordinary item; it was a product of cutting-edge technology developed by Wayne Enterprises with immense resources and manpower. It possessed not only terrifying defense but also various resistances.
At the very least, its heat resistance was absolutely top-notch. The explosion at such close range had not caused Batman significant damage.
So…
It was time for poison.
Drip, drip!
Bai Ye spread his hands, and a purple venom quickly appeared on his skin, continuously dripping down.
Then…
"Poison Dragon!"
Bai Ye let out a low roar, then lunged forward, unleashing a punch.
The purple venom condensed, transforming into a dragon shape, lunging at Batman with bared teeth and claws.
Batman moved with extreme speed, quickly dodging to the side. The Poison Dragon then struck the wall, dispersing into venom that sprayed outwards.
Batman's arm was splashed by the venom, which immediately hissed and emitted wisps of white smoke.
Then…
Bai Ye was astonished!
Batman was also astonished!
Bai Ye was surprised that his venom had caused corrosive damage to Batman's Batsuit, but it had only affected the surface and had not penetrated or harmed Batman within.
Batman, on the other hand, was surprised that Bai Ye possessed more than one mutant ability, and secondly, that the corrosive venom's potency far exceeded Batman's imagination. Although he was wearing the basic model of his ordinary Batsuit, it was made of specially crafted superalloy material, resistant to high temperatures, cold, and corrosion, yet it was instantly corroded.
Both were stunned for half a second, not acting immediately. Then…
Bai Ye was a step faster, recovering first and directly blowing out a breath.
"Poison Cloud!"
A large amount of purple smoke was expelled from Bai Ye's mouth, drifting outwards. It then surged forward, and he unleashed a punch at Batman.
Following that…
Bang!
Batman raised his hand, caught Bai Ye's punch, then yanked Bai Ye by his clothes and slammed him into the counter on the side.
With a dull thud, the counter's glass shattered. Bai Ye grimaced, cursing inwardly.
Where was the promised sensory deprivation?
However, glancing at Batman's cowl, Bai Ye could roughly guess the reason. That thing was most likely poison-resistant!
"I hate you tech-users the most!"
Seeing Batman raise his fist, Bai Ye swiftly flipped over, leaping off the counter. He then swept his five fingers forward in a claw-like motion.
As Bai Ye's fingers swept through the air, flames ignited, and then…
"Flame Burst!"
Bai Ye let out a low cry, and the flames dispersed in the air immediately exploded!
Boom!
Accompanied by the explosion, searing fireballs erupted.
Batman's body was once again pushed back by the blast wave. As the surrounding flames dissipated, Batman looked up, only to see Bai Ye raising his fist again, the purple venom condensing once more.
"Poison Dragon!"
Bai Ye quickly threw a punch.
A large amount of venom condensed again, soon reforming into a dragon shape and lunging forward.
The corrosion resistance of the Batsuit was beyond Bai Ye's expectation. However, corrosion resistance meant it was not easily corroded, not that corrosion was ineffective.
If so, one punch was not enough, then two punches, and if two were not enough, then three punches…
Until Batman's Batsuit was corroded away!
On the other side, Batman quickly flipped over the collapsed counter and then hid behind a glass wall.
The Poison Dragon collided with the glass wall and instantly shattered.
However, although it did not hit directly, the exploded corrosive venom splattered all around, leaving Batman with nowhere to step.
Bai Ye grinned, spreading his hands again.
"Poison Dragon!"
The third punch was thrown, and the purple venom condensed again, approaching Batman.
When the Poison Dragon shattered, the venom had completely dispersed around. Although Batman himself was not splashed, he could no longer move freely, as any movement would inevitably lead to contact with the venom.
It was at this moment…
Batman suddenly pulled out a black handgun. However, Batman did not aim at Bai Ye but at the side.
The next instant, a grappling hook was fired, shattering the glass and latching onto a streetlamp by the road. As the rope tightened, Batman was dragged away.
Bai Ye saw a black blur flash before his eyes, and Batman had already passed him. He then grabbed the streetlamp and leaped up, ascending to its top.
Bai Ye strode over the shattered iron gate and emerged at the shop's entrance, looking up at Batman.
After a moment, Batman fired his grappling gun again, aiming at a building on the side. After hooking onto the roof, he quickly disappeared as the rope retracted.
Did he run?
Bai Ye grinned and then laughed heartily.
It was quite satisfying to see the Dark Knight of the City of Sin retreat.
However, Bai Ye knew this was not the end, merely the beginning.
Batman would not give up so easily. His current retreat was merely Batman carefully assessing the situation, realizing 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 being a master tactician, so for him, retreat was just another tactic.
Being targeted by Batman would undoubtedly be troublesome.
At the same time, Bai Ye also knew that he was not the only one being targeted by Batman.
Based on his experience in the City of Sin in his past life, Bai Ye knew that chosen ones of the Order faction could check the sin value through a light screen.
Of course, not all chosen ones from the Sin faction could be queried. Only when their sin value exceeded 500 points and ranked among the top ten would they appear to the chosen ones of the Order faction.
This meant…
That quite a few chosen ones would also target Bai Ye. After all, a sin value exceeding 500 points…
This meant that if they could kill Bai Ye, they would receive a large amount of Order points!
"So, I need to speed things up!" Bai Ye looked at his sin value and murmured, "I need to fill up my sin value as soon as possible and then start the mission."
