"Zhong Su, here's a piece of advice: don't underestimate humans."
Before fully entering the Shadow Realm, Bai Qi whispered to Zhong Su.
One demon had escaped, but another still remained.
Batman dared not be careless. The two batarangs he had used against the Holy Lord earlier were mere prototypes he had created after researching the Holy Lord's data. He hadn't expected them to be so effective against a demon. It was a pity he had only brought two with him. If he had known they would work so well, he should have prepared more.
There was no use complaining now. He had to focus on how to deal with the demon in front of him.
Even though this demon had just fought and been defeated by the Holy Lord, it was still a demon, and he couldn't afford to underestimate it.
With that thought, Batman threw out two more batarangs, launching a probing attack at Zhong Su.
Zhong Su was not the Holy Lord; he wouldn't indulge them. Provoked by humans, he naturally had to retaliate with a thunderous strike to destroy them, serving as a warning to others.
However, Zhong Su clearly didn't understand human gadgets. He reached out to swat away the incoming batarangs. But the moment his hand collided with a batarang, it exploded, catching Zhong Su off guard.
Yet, the effect of this surprise was minimal. It was far from hurting Zhong Su; it didn't even scratch him. Instead, it successfully drew aggro.
He might not be able to defeat the Holy Lord, but could he really not defeat a human in a clown costume?
Thinking this, Zhong Su waved his hand, and bolts of lightning rained down upon Batman.
Seeing the lightning rapidly approaching, Batman tensed his legs, lowered his stance, and prepared for an extreme dodge. But before Batman could react, Chen Long swiftly darted out from the side, grabbed Batman, and rolled towards the other side.
Batman still had his cape on. As Chen Long hugged Batman and they tumbled several times on the ground, whether it was undignified or not, the two of them rolling together caused Batman's cape to envelop them like a quilt.
"Uh... sorry."
Looking at Batman, who was so close he could feel his breath, Chen Long's face turned awkward. He had intended to save the other person, but now he had dragged himself into the mess too. What's more, why did this guy's eyes look so terrifying?
Chen Long exerted force with his arms, struggling to break free from the predicament. But the result was that the cape seemed to be poisonous. The harder Chen Long struggled, the less effective it was, and it only wrapped around him tighter.
Zhong Su was also confused by Chen Long's actions. Was this guy some kind of clown sent by the Holy Lord?
"Whatever, I'll take care of both of them."
With that thought, Zhong Su waved his hand again, and lightning struck towards the two of them.
"Ah! Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky."
Looking at the attacking lightning and then at himself, bound tightly, Batman's first instinct was to roll away, to dodge Zhong Su's attack. But before he could move, Chen Long exerted force first, leaped up, and actually managed to get the two bound together to stand.
Chen Long turned his head, exerted force at his waist, and directly shoved Batman in front of him. Then, Chen Long flipped over, his legs pedaling rapidly, and with a series of quick, small steps, he ran in the opposite direction. As he ran, he didn't forget his lines, constantly muttering "unlucky."
Although Chen Long kept shouting "unlucky" whenever something happened, sometimes luck was just like that. The more someone claimed to be unlucky, the luckier they would become. Chen Long, relying purely on luck, ran around chaotically, dodging Zhong Su's numerous lightning bolts.
While luck was a part of strength, one couldn't rely on luck for all of their strength. No matter how lucky a person was, luck would eventually run out.
And so, a bolt of lightning struck Chen Long directly.
"Ah! I'm doomed! I... why am I not hurt?"
Chen Long was certain that the lightning had hit his back, but why was he completely unharmed?
At this moment, Batman, whom he had been ignoring, provided the answer.
"My cape is insulated."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Chen Long now really wanted to pat his head, but his hands were still bound tightly.
It wasn't just Chen Long who was bewildered; Zhong Su was starting to doubt his own existence.
Were his eyes meant for venting his anger? Such a dense attack, and only one hit, and the clown wasn't even hurt. It was utterly inconceivable.
Just as Zhong Su was regrouping and preparing to launch another attack, a green ray shot out and hit Zhong Su in the chest.
Before Zhong Su could react, two more beams of light shot out. Although they didn't cause much damage to Zhong Su, in terms of power, they were less than half of the Holy Lord's laser eyes. However, they succeeded in interrupting Zhong Su's spellcasting.
"Uncle Long, are you alright?"
Xiao Yu, holding a dried pufferfish, ran over. Wisps of white smoke were still rising from the mouth of the dried pufferfish. There was no doubt that the previous attack had been Xiao Yu's doing.
Before Chen Long could speak, upon noticing that the person bound with Chen Long was Batman, Xiao Yu's voice instantly rose an octave. Her eyes were filled with little stars as she exclaimed, "Wow! It's a live Batman! Batman, I'm your biggest fan! Can you give me an autograph? Please?"
Seeing his niece's reaction, Chen Long said helplessly, "Alright Xiao Yu, now is not the time to be a fangirl. Why are you here? This place is very dangerous."
Reminded by Chen Long, Xiao Yu immediately reacted, saying, "Dad sent me to tell you that the magic to seal the demon will take at least another five minutes. So, during this time, don't let the demon escape, otherwise, the magic will be difficult to take effect if the demon is too far from the Gates of Hell."
After speaking, she didn't forget to take out her phone, open the camera, and press the shutter button towards Chen Long and Batman.
The flash lit up. Batman, whose face was already dark, looked even darker now. Chen Long could even feel waves of cold emanating from Batman.
Xiao Yu didn't care. Instead, she was enjoying herself. Come on, a candid shot of Batman! That's super cool, right? Sudan Novel Network
"Oh, right."
Just as she was about to leave, Xiao Yu turned back, grabbed a corner of the cape, and pulled it aside, freeing Chen Long and Batman who were bound together.
"Thanks, Xiao Yu. But this place is very dangerous, you should hide quickly."
"Please, I just attacked the demon! If it weren't for me, you would have been squashed into a pancake already."
"Your uncle is right."
Batman picked up Xiao Yu and handed her to Chen Long, saying, "This place is too dangerous. I will try my best to hold off the demon. Mr. Chen, take your niece to a safe place and hide."
With that, he didn't give Chen Long a chance to retort. He pulled on his cape and charged towards Zhong Su.
"Stupid human, you will pay for your foolishness. I will tear you to shreds."
