Chapter 572: I, Joker (11)

Translator: Lonelytree

The Bruce naturally would not sit idle with regards to Poison Ivy’s action, in fact he reacted at the first given moment. He tried to use a long range weapon to disturb the enemy.

The batarangs howled through the air. Soulie though did not pay any attention to this because she knew that… Xiao Tan would help her block this attack.

“Go to hell!” Xiao Tan did not let her down. With a growl, he leaped into the air. He appeared before the batarangs like a wisp of wind and reached out his arms to intercept them.

Ping—the metals collided and created a bright spark. Then, the batarangs with powerful spinning speed… was pierced through by the blade the popped out from Xiao Tan’s sleeves and they dangled weakly on the body of his sleeveblade.

Remark: The Hidden Blade (shoulder sheath) used by Master Assassin Altair Ibn-La Ahad. Raised to be an assassin from birth, Altair became a Master Assassin at age 24. He had modified his Hidden Blade masterfully. The new sleeveblade could be equipped without breaking a finger, the weapon was strong enough to be wielded in a normal sword fight and the accuracy of the sleeve arrow had a great improvement.

This equipment was the reward that Xiao Tan won in the Tournament for the Best. Perhaps many people would have forgotten about it already but the reward for player ranked 11 to 30 was, “A random perfect quality equipment of one’s choice that corresponds to one’s level x1 and 3000 Skill Points.”

At this point, one had to mention that Wang Tanzi’s luck was different from a certain someone…

When Xiao Tan chose his item type, actually he did not choose weapon but he chose shoulder armor because he was not lacking in close quarter weapon but he needed more defensive equipment. Since he already had Scorched Vest, Buckskin Boots and Wolf’s Fur Leg Guard so he chose one that would guard his arms. And the result was he got a shoulder sheath that was meant for an assassin. The equipment matched perfectly with his costume and came with both offensive and defensive capability; furthermore, it was attached with a reliable long distance attack and that helped dealt with his weakness of a low marksmanship mastery; other than that, the sleeveblade complimented his claw well, and they could be equipped on the same arm.

Overall speaking, this was practically an equipment that was meant for Xiao Tan, it allowed him a lot more options in actual combat and had raised his ability to another higher level.

“This is impossible!” The Bruce could not help but gasped when he saw the batarangs being intercepted. He was not surprised by the man’s speed but the power of that sleeveblade. After all, the batarangs used by the Bruce was not a normal batarang. The batarang was made from metals with incredibly high tensile strength and it was embedded with a microchip, instead of calling it a batarang… it was more like a mini missile. Theoretically speaking, this boomerang could cut through the shell of a vehicle, kill the people inside and then cut out from the other side of the vehicle and return to the Bruce’s hand…

“Hmph… Scared, right?” Xiao Tan who leaped into the air said proudly, “If not for the fact that I might accidentally saw off your hand, I would have used this to cut you earlier.”

“Hey!” Soulie shouted at Xiao Tan then. “remember to catch me.”

“Understood.” This was not the first time Xiao Tan queued up with her, they had cooperated many times. Many things that sounded confusing to others would be understood easily between the two of them. After the brief communication, Xiao Tan used Mantra of Heaven and Earth Inversion and rushed into the sky. Almost at the same second, the giant rocket launcher on Soulie’s shoulder that was as large as a tree trunk… opened fire.

Name: Propulsion Cannon of Eternal Combustion

Type: Weapon

Quality: Excellent

Offense Points: Very High

Element: Fire

Special Effect: None

Equip Requirement: Marksmanship A, the character is strong enough to raise the launcher, bound to character

Remark: An extreme weapon that swap pure destructive power for the abandonment of mobility, accuracy and reloadability. It weighs about 190 kg and the rebound is about as powerful as the damage. The cooldown between each shot is 10 minutes. Ps: The item will be taken/ removed from the inventory in photon form, each removal will trigger the cooldown timer.

The fire exploded and detonation roared. The energy beam that blasted out from the cannon was like a fire dragon, raging at the rooftop of the police station.

“Damn it…” The Bruce cursed under his breath as he turned to escape. His speed was not slow, he reached the edge of the roof in the blink of an eye. The next second, with a flap of his cape, he jumped away from the roof. At the same time, the dragon-like energy beam had melted through the rooftop and surged downwards, destroying the whole building along the way. That was not the end though… the fire was still lashing out like crazy, as it started to spread. Three seconds later, every level of the police station burst with fire, heat waves blasted out from the windows on each floor. 10 seconds later, without any accident… the gas tunnel at the underground of the building exploded.

Therefore, continuous explosions followed one after another. It created a chain effect down the nearest neighbourhoods. More than 100 of fire pillars soared up from under the ground, the streets were no different from a sea of fire. The teams of Robins that surrounded the police station was dropped in a mode of panic. And at that moment, the culprit behind was… was knocked into the air by the rebound from the cannon.

Of course, Soulie did not escape unscathed. Even with the protection from her equipment, her shoulder was burned; and to stabilize the aim of the cannon while under the powerful rebound of the cannon, it wasted away quite a bit of her Stamina Points. One could see from this that it was impractical to use Propulsion Cannon of Eternal Combustion in actual battle. If not for the relative freedom and safety provided by this map, Soulie would not use this kind of extreme weaponry.

“Phew… almost reached the limit already.” After 10 seconds, Soulie gave a long sigh and stopped the attack. Instantly the weapon on her shoulder dissolved into photons and disappeared into her inventory. At the same time, Xiao Tan who dropped down from the sky arrived at Soulie’s side, he captured her in a perfect hug and then activated the mantra again.

“Are you alright?” Xiao Tan asked with concern. At that moment, he had entered another anti-gravity state. Due to the weight difference between him and Soulie, they were slowly rising into the air.

“I’m fine. I did not lose that much Life Points or Stamina Points.” Soulie glanced at the game menu and then replied, “With Tri-Flower Capitulum Focus, all the stats will be recovered in about 10 minutes.”

“Oh.” Xiao Tan said before adding, “Sorry… this is all my fault. We have to resort to this retreat earlier than planned.”

“Who said we are retreating?” Soulie countered. “We have only bought this little time, it is obviously not enough.”

“Ah?” Xiao Tan was startled. “Then why did you hurry to blast the entire building?”

“Qie…” Soulie grumbled, “All that was to help you maintain your character of Two Face! You already said we are retreating, so I would have to follow you.” She paused. “But… nobody said we have to retreat as fast as we could, we could run slightly slower to ensure that these people will be able to tail us.”

“Oh~ So that’s the plan.” Xiao Tan nodded. “Then do you have any exact idea in mind?”

“What plan can we really commit to?” Soulie pointed behind Xiao Tan, “For now, let us go and grab one of those for ourselves first…”

Xiao Tan turned back to look and saw… two flying shutters were slowly approaching them.

At the same time, at the command central at the bat castle.

“What the hell… what kind of monsters are these people!” Gordon waved his fists and could not help himself from growling as he watched the ‘livefeed’ of the battle sent back by the team of robins.

“Calm down, duck.” Professor Klibon puffed on his smoke and added calmly. “Our master has not been defeated…” At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice. “… At least not yet.”

Creak—

At that moment the electric door of this room opened. Hearing that, Gordon instinctually turned towards it. It was better that he did not because once he did, he was so scared, half of his life was gone…

Two person stood at the door, one was Feng Bujue (Joker) and the other was Ruoyu (Harley Quinn). They each held two rifles (Taken from the robins) and strode into the room.

Tat tat tat—

Two seconds later, Feng Bujue’s gun fired. He took down a worker and then shouted warningly at the dead body, “Do not move!”
