The wall was smashed to pieces.
However, Batman was unharmed.
Besides his formidable physique and mastery of various combat and martial arts, Batman's prowess also lay in his equipment.
Not to mention the tank-like Batmobile, Batman's Batsuit was no ordinary item. It was a product of advanced, futuristic technology researched and developed by Wayne Enterprises with immense human and material resources. It not only possessed terrifying defensive capabilities but also various resistances.
At the very least, its heat resistance was absolutely top-notch. An explosion at such close range had not caused much damage to Batman.
So then...
It was time for poison!
Drip, drip!
Bai Ye spread his hands, and purple venom quickly appeared on the surface of his skin, continuously dripping down.
Then...
"Poison Dragon!"
Bai Ye let out a low growl, then lunged forward and punched.
The purple venom condensed, transforming into a dragon shape, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Batman.
Batman moved with incredible speed, quickly dodging to the side. The Poison Dragon then collided with the wall, scattering into venom in all directions.
Batman's arm was splashed by the venom, and with a sizzling sound, wisps of white smoke continuously rose.
Then...
Bai Ye was shocked!
Batman was also shocked!
Bai Ye was surprised that his venom had caused corrosive damage to Batman's suit, but it had only affected the surface. It hadn't penetrated the suit to harm Batman.
Batman, on the other hand, was surprised that Bai Ye possessed more than one mutant ability, and that the corrosive venom's potency far exceeded his imagination. Although he was wearing only the basic ordinary Batsuit, it was made of specially crafted superalloy material, resistant to high temperatures, cold, and corrosion, yet it was instantly corroded.
Both of them froze for half a second, not reacting immediately, and then...
Bai Ye, slightly faster, recovered first and directly blew forward.
"Poison Cloud!"
Large swathes of purple smoke were spewed from Bai Ye's mouth, drifting outwards. He then charged forward, punching at Batman.
Immediately after...
Bang!
Batman raised his hand, caught Bai Ye's punch, then yanked Bai Ye's clothes, lifting him up and smashing him into a counter on the side.
With a dull thud, the glass of the counter shattered. Bai Ye grimaced, cursing inwardly.
Where was the promised sensory deprivation?
However, glancing at the Batman mask Batman wore, Bai Ye could roughly guess the reason. That thing was most likely poison-proof!
"I hate you tech-users the most!"
Seeing Batman raise his fist, Bai Ye quickly flipped over, landing off the counter, and formed his fingers into claws, sweeping forward.
As Bai Ye's fingers swept through the air, flames ignited, and then...
"Flame Burst!"
Bai Ye let out a low growl, and the flames drifting in the air immediately exploded!
Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of the explosion, a fiery ball 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 condensing once more.
"Poison Dragon!"
Bai Ye swiftly punched out.
Large amounts of venom condensed again, quickly reforming into a dragon shape and lunging forward.
The corrosive resistance of the Batsuit was beyond Bai Ye's expectations. However, corrosive resistance meant it was not easily corroded, not that corrosion was useless.
Since one punch was ineffective, he would use two, and if two didn't work, he would use three...
Until Batman's Batsuit was corroded away!
On the other side, Batman quickly flipped over the collapsed counter and then took cover behind a glass wall.
The Poison Dragon struck the glass wall and instantly shattered.
However, although it didn't hit directly, the scattering corrosive venom landed 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 spread out. Although Batman himself was not contaminated, he could no longer move freely without inevitably coming into contact with the venom.
At this moment...
Batman suddenly pulled out a black handgun, but instead of aiming at Bai Ye, he pointed the muzzle to the side.
The next instant, a grappling hook was fired, smashing through the glass and latching onto a lamppost by the road. As the rope tightened, Batman was dragged away.
Bai Ye saw a black shadow flash before his eyes, and Batman had already zipped past him. He then grabbed the lamppost and leaped up to its top.
Bai Ye stepped over the shattered iron gate and reached the shop entrance, looking up to meet Batman's gaze.
After a moment, Batman fired his grappling hook again, aiming at the roof of a building on the side. After hooking onto the roof, he quickly disappeared as the rope retracted.
He ran?
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin, then burst into laughter.
It was quite satisfying to see the Dark Knight of the City of Sin retreat.
However, Bai Ye knew this was not the end, but merely the beginning.
Batman would not give up so easily. His current retreat was simply because he had carefully assessed the situation, realizing that apprehending Bai Ye would not be an easy task. Therefore, Batman had to rethink his strategy. As for whether retreating was shameful, Batman did not consider it. After all, one of Batman's abilities was being a tactical master, so for him, retreat was just another tactic.
And being targeted by Batman would undoubtedly be troublesome.
At the same time, Bai Ye also knew that he wasn't only being targeted by Batman.
Based on his experience in the City of Sin in his previous life, Bai Ye knew that Chosen Ones of the Order faction could check sin values through a light screen.
Of course, not all Chosen Ones of the Sin faction could be queried. It was only when their sin value exceeded 500 points and ranked within 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 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 max out my sin value as soon as possible, and then start the mission."
