Barbara possesses exceptional combat talent, but she lacks strength and experience. The "Lazy Mode" perfectly compensates for these shortcomings, allowing her to break through her limitations and become a powerful warrior.

Having dealt with the henchmen, Barbara turned to look at the leader.

Bruce seized the opportunity and threw a punch, breaking through the defense and causing his opponent to fall backward. Barbara, on the flank, let out a cry of surprise, leaped into the air, and kicked out.

The sound of bones breaking echoed in the air, and the mysterious man wearing a falcon mask let out a painful roar as two ribs in his left chest were broken by the blow, causing him to gasp in shock.

Nevertheless, the killing intent emanating from those eyes did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, as the pain intensified, a hint of agony appeared in their eyes.

Barbara gave a cold snort.

"None of your men will survive; you're the only one left. It's not too late to surrender now."

The man remained silent, his right hand clutching his chest, his left hand gripping a short knife, his gaze shifting between Bruce and Barbara.

"...If you don't surrender, don't blame me for being impolite."

Barbara strode forward. In the third person, she was like a god watching the ground, anticipating her opponent's every move.

"go to hell!"

The girl launched a fierce attack, her fists, crackling with electricity, aimed directly at vital parts of the body such as the chest, neck, and head. Relying on her extraordinary intuition, she manipulated her opponent, and in just over ten seconds, she knocked the mysterious man to the ground.

"Is it really that big of a deal?"

Barbara clapped her hands, turned to look at Batman, and muttered softly, "Isn't he stronger?"

Bruce: "..."

He didn't try to object, but simply tensed his muscles and looked at the mysterious man lying on the ground.

Barbara shrugged.

"Stop looking. After so many attacks, he can't possibly stand up again."

But as soon as she finished speaking, a strange noise came from behind her, and the mysterious man who had fallen to the ground leaped up like a cheetah, his black short blade piercing the air.

Zira

The blade, made of some unknown material, pierced through the power armor, leaving a trail of blood on her shoulder.

Barbara squeezed her eyes shut in terror, her pupils suddenly shrinking. In that instant, she had no time to react as the mysterious man showed no mercy, slashing his knife straight at the girl's throat.

Bang

The blue energy from above knocked him to the ground.

Bruce looked up and saw a faint blue light flickering in the black night sky.

"Drone!"

"Xu Fu-Xiao!"

Bruce clenched his fists, his face turning extremely grim, and even the way he looked at Barbara carried a hint of gloom.

Wayne Manor was his home, and he cherished it dearly, and this Asian man did indeed use a drone there.

Barbara, dumbfounded and completely unaware of what was happening, clutched her shoulder with her right hand, staring intently at the mysterious man who had stood up again. When she saw the corpse of the man she had been talking to under the tattered clothes, her expression was one of utter shock and disbelief.

"How is this possible? Your injury..."

Chapter 1312 First Encounter in Court

Barbara remembered clearly that she hit the mysterious man seven times, each strike accompanied by an electric shock. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to hurt him, but this guy not only stood firm but also remained unharmed.

Bruce said in a deep voice.

"Who are you, Superman?"

The mysterious man did not answer. He picked up the dagger lying on the ground and launched another attack. His movements were as fast as before, and he seemed unaffected by his injuries.

Barbara retreated in bewilderment under the opponent's offensive, and Bruce seized the opportunity to throw a dart, which hit the mysterious man in the chest, leaving a small spot of blood.

In the dim moonlight, the wound healed quickly and returned to normal within seconds.

Barbara was completely stunned by what she saw: No wonder the opponent could still fight with broken ribs? He was immortal.

"What kind of monster are you?"

The girl roared sharply, somewhat dumbfounded, fearing that the creature standing in front of her would howl to the sky and transform into a wolf, a giant bat, or some other terrifying creature.

Bruce was also somewhat desperate: he had dealt with many criminals, but he had never seen anything like this before.

A person?

Or a monster?

The mysterious man remained silent; perhaps he was mute to begin with.

The situation began to turn strange: Barbara dared not attack and assassinate as fiercely as before, but instead took a few steps back and watched her opponent warily, while Bruce 797's eyes showed a newfound determination when he contacted Alfred and learned that the bandits came from the Court of Owls.

In any case, we must keep this mysterious man here and extract information about the Court of Owls from him.

After making the decision, Bruce launched the attack.

The black cloak crackled, a ghostly figure flickered in the night sky, and Bruce's full-force attack unleashed terrifying combat power, knocking the short sword from the mysterious man's hand in just three movements.

His fists were as fierce as a lion's, and his body as agile as a monkey's, delivering a heavy blow to the mysterious man's head.

The falcon mask cracked, revealing a slightly weathered face.

This face is about fifty years old, with well-defined features that are quite striking.

Bruce paused for a moment in surprise, feeling that the face seemed familiar.

The mysterious man who removed his mask covered his face, looking utterly terrified, like a child who had been stuck in a basement for a long time without seeing anyone. His eyes flashed with a complex mix of fear, panic, and hesitation. He let out a low growl and ran away without looking back.

"stop!"

Barbara shouted and was about to rush after them when she heard Ava's warning voice in her ear.

“Miss Gordon, don’t forget the mission. The military mech (BBFH) must not fall into the hands of outsiders.”

The girl stomped her foot in frustration, her gaze shifting to Bruce Wayne and...

"Hey! Why aren't you going to get it?"

Bruce shook his head slightly, pulled out his hook-handled pistol, fired at a distant building, pulled the rope, and flew into the air, disappearing into the vast night sky like a bat.

"What a strange guy, he doesn't say a word, and he's so condescending!"

Barbara was very unhappy. She had originally thought of fighting alongside Batman and becoming close allies, but after some conversation, she found that the person she was talking to didn't trust her at all. On the contrary, he was on guard at every turn, as if she were some kind of bad guy.

This made the girl's blood boil, and all her good feelings towards her completely disappeared.

Actually, the reason wasn't her own, but the power armor: Bruce had a deep prejudice against Xu Fu, who came from the underworld, and he was also afraid of Barbara wearing Tesla power armor.

After the battle, Barbara began cleaning up the battlefield, removing the power armor from the bandits and reassembling it under Ava's guidance.

The thugs who attacked Wayne Manor numbered 15, but strangely, they only had 13 pieces of power armor.

"Wait a minute, one of them is missing."

The girl checked carefully and confirmed that there were indeed thirteen pieces, not fourteen; one set of armor was missing.

...

On the outskirts of Wayne Manor, a mysterious figure who had escaped from the woods was running wildly down the road like a madman. He roared like a wild beast as he ran, his eyes flashing back and forth between joy and pain. He didn't know what he was remembering.

His turbulent emotions only subsided when he ran to the black sedan, opened the trunk, took out the falcon mask, and put it on his head.

He lay quietly for a while, feeling a bit tired, then opened the car door and drove away.

Under the cover of night, the black car sped along a sparsely populated forest road and stopped in front of an abandoned construction site.

The mysterious man got out of the car, picked up his toolbox, and walked inside.

Shortly after he left, a ghostly figure clad in armor appeared in the bushes. It was none other than Xu Fu from Ghost One.

Xu Fu looked around, and images of the surrounding environment appeared on the screen.

"Sixteen cameras, thirteen traps, three hidden sentries and two secret doors—that's really tight security."

"However, they are useless to me."

Xu Fu stepped down from the grass, and as his right foot touched the ground, his figure vanished. In the ever-changing light, only an elusive ghostly shadow could be seen.

The cameras hidden in the treetops, rock crevices, and walls didn't notice this scene at all. Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief and followed the mysterious man's footsteps, walking openly towards the construction site.

Behind the construction site was a historical site. Following a hidden door through a narrow corridor, the view suddenly expanded, and before they knew it, they found themselves in the thicket of a primeval forest.

The sound of a babbling brook filled the air, along with the fragrance of flowers and grass. In the distance, the cooing of a nightingale could be heard, and nearby, four bright lights shimmered on the treetops—two owls with thick feathers that looked like monkeys.

The owl lowered its head, looking at something curiously.

Their eyesight is different from that of humans; they can barely make out the ghostly armor that is faintly visible under the light.

Xu Fu ignored the owl and followed the mysterious man cautiously into the depths of the forest.

As he passed an old tree, he suddenly heard a sharp cracking sound.

Xu Fu instinctively dodged to the side, and a steel spear pierced his body, pinning him to the tree trunk.
