chapter 187 part 5
"Fire Style: Blazing Wind Dance!"
The fireball, which almost filled half the street, instantly engulfed Poison Ivy and her plants, and in less than two seconds, they were all reduced to ashes.
"Aahhhhh!" Poison Ivy shrieked in agony, but she was powerless.
Her plant techniques couldn't even hold a candle to Yamato, let alone Hashirama Senju's Wood Style.
Just as the flames were about to completely consume Poison Ivy, an extremely cold ice dome instantly erected around her, deflecting the flames. At the same time, another blast of cold air swiftly extinguished the fire on her body.
Mr. Freeze, holding his laser-freezing gun, slowly emerged from the shadows. He glanced at the frantic Poison Ivy, revealing a sinister, mocking smile, as if sneering at her failure.
Immediately after, he aimed the ice gun in his hand at Bruce Ren and shouted loudly, "Those previous ones were just child's play! Now, test my abilities!"
Saying that, he unhesitatingly pulled the trigger, and a powerful blast of cold air surged towards Bruce Ren!
Where the cold air passed, a thick layer of ice rapidly formed on the ground! This was even faster than the current freezing speed of Mr. Freeze!
Facing the surging cold air, Bruce Ren remained unusually calm.
His feet stood firmly on the ground, not moving an inch, nor making any defensive hand seals. He simply allowed the cold air to wrap around him, gradually encasing him in solid ice.
Mr. Freeze saw this and couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, his laughter echoing through the large building, sounding particularly grating.
Poison Ivy also took the opportunity to regain her composure, her eyes burning with a malicious gleam. She rushed forward, fiercely raising her foot, ready to kick the frozen Bruce Ren, to vent the hatred in her heart.
But in the opposite building, Batman, who had been observing closely, frowned.
Just as Poison Ivy's foot was about to land on the ice block, a colossal "CRACK" sound boomed. The ice block encasing Bruce Ren instantly shattered, sending countless ice shards flying!
Bruce Ren casually raised his hand and, with practiced ease, precisely grabbed Poison Ivy's foot. Then, with a forceful swing, he hurled her into the air!
Poison Ivy screamed in terror, her body tumbling uncontrollably in mid-air!
Bruce Ren didn't know when he had an extra vine in his hand, which tightly held Poison Ivy's ankle. With a strong pull, Poison Ivy fell from the sky like a shooting star, smashing violently onto the ground!
This fall made Poison Ivy's eyes roll back in pain, and she let out agonized whimpers.
She lay on the ground, her body twitching uncontrollably, completely losing the ability to resist.
Mr. Freeze saw this scene, and the smile on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a look of terror and disbelief.
"You, why aren't you afraid of the cold?!"
Bruce Ren bared his teeth, "Because the people you dealt with before were all ordinary people. Honestly, with this skill, you'd be better off working in cold storage freezing fish. Why bother being a villain? Are you even worthy?"
Mr. Freeze roared, raising his gun, "Freeze me!"
Bruce Ren clasped his hands together again, but this time, the ground around his shoulders also began to swirl with wind!
Just as the cold air was about to hit Bruce Ren, he leaped into the air and roared at the ground, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
The moment the fire appeared, it directly negated Mr. Freeze's cold air. In the blink of an eye, Mr. Freeze was engulfed by the flames!
With a "bang!", Mr. Freeze's ice gun exploded instantly! Ice crystals scattered everywhere.
However, Mr. Freeze was also surprisingly lucky, so he wasn't completely incinerated in the massive fire.
Batman on the floor above silently frowned. Everything unfolded exactly as his analysis predicted, yet Bruce Ren's strength far exceeded his imagination!
Just then, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the ground.
Killer Croc, with his colossal two-meter frame and six hundred kilograms of bulk, charged towards Bruce Ren like an out-of-control armored vehicle!
Killer Croc's face was full of excitement, his crimson eyes flickering with a mad light. He seemed to have already envisioned the scene of Bruce Ren being crushed by his powerful arms, and his lips involuntarily peeled back, revealing a row of sharp, yellowed fangs.
However, what happened next was completely beyond Killer Croc's expectations!
Bruce Ren not only didn't retreat an inch, but instead met Killer Croc's charge, likewise rushing towards him!
Killer Croc's face was etched with confusion, his advance momentarily halted. He thought, "Is this guy crazy?!"
But he didn't stop his attack. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he raised his thick, powerful arms high, and with a whistling sound, swung his fist towards Bruce Ren.
Bruce Ren's gaze remained calm. As Killer Croc's fist was about to strike his face, his figure flickered like lightning, and he deftly dodged the powerful, heavy blow.
Immediately after, Bruce Ren swiftly counterattacked with a punch, directly aiming for Killer Croc's face.
This punch was incredibly fast and astonishingly powerful. Before the fist even truly connected with Killer Croc's face, Killer Croc already felt an immense pressure, his heart screaming in alarm!
The moment Bruce Ren's fist touched Killer Croc's face, a colossal impact force exploded!
Killer Croc's neck snapped violently, and his entire body, like a kite with a severed string, was sent flying!
It carved a long arc through the air, crashing heavily onto the ground with a resounding "thud."
This blow actually sent him flying hundreds of meters away!
But Killer Croc, after all, weighed over six hundred kilograms!
Killer Croc possessed superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, and regenerative abilities. By all logic, he should have instantly rebounded and charged back.
But the creature was now rolling on the ground, dazed and terrified, seemingly trapped in a profound state of fear.
Batman on the floor above sharply jumped!
He couldn't believe it. He had painstakingly spent thousands of comic pages to finally capture these villains for Arkham Asylum.
Yet, Bruce Ren had completely dealt with them in less than half an hour?!
As this thought crossed Batman's mind, he prepared to move, but a gaze suddenly fixed him.
A chill ran down Batman's spine, but he met the gaze without fear.
Batman expected Bruce Ren to attack him directly.
But what he heard was an unbelievable remark.
"I've taken care of the bad guys for you. Go ahead and take them back. Next time, don't let them escape so easily."
Batman was stunned. Bruce Ren looked up. "Do you need me to deliver them back with a five-star good citizen award? Never mind, just give me the reward money."
