11. Shadow Warrior
One person is desperate to die for another, either out of an interest that cannot be refused, or out of feelings that are sufficient to transcend the threat of death.
The people in the hall were not emotionless creatures, but to be honest, they wouldn't give up their "noble" lives for Bruce, and after the crazy Cyber badly injured poor Earl, the pungent smell of blood made everyone present rush to the hall door.
Ducater didn't stop all this, he knew that his carefully prepared first offensive against Bruce was just broken up.
Just because of a bastard who doesn't know his identity!
"Who are you?"
Standing in the rush of fleeing people, Ducat's body was like a pillar in a stream of water, a woman in a panic almost hit him, was held by Ducat very gentlemanly, the lady thanked her with tears in her eyes, Ducat got out of the way, she ran away in a panic, behind her, like an old gentleman who came out of an English story, Ducat clenched his cane and slowly pulled out the cane and sword.
When he saw Ducat's posture, Cyber's heart sank.
The staff sword is a very high weapon, but frankly speaking, its difficulty in using is definitely one of the best among all chopping weapons, the hilt is extremely short, the requirements for wrist flexibility and strength are extremely high, and the person who can use the staff sword well is definitely a real martial arts master.
"Rude one, how dare you intrude into my trials?"
Dukad took a step forward, and behind him, the dozen or so subordinates drew their weapons one after another, and the indifferent man on the second floor walked down quickly, holding a black pistol in his hand, but was smashed in the chest by Bruce, who reacted, and the three people around him rushed towards Bruce, and the man in the suit was so straightforward in the hall to fight with them.
All the guests are gone, and the scene is not seen by anyone, and Cyber lets go of Alfred,
"Get our armor ready... This guy is not easy to deal with!"
Ah Fu and Lucius glanced at Ducat and the guys with weapons, they wanted to leave, but the gate was blocked, Cyber ignored the scene, he pointed the pistol in his hand at Ducat in front of him, and under the mask, his voice sounded with a hint of mockery,
"What age is this, and there are still people with swords? I'm sorry, but aren't you really an old ghost from the Middle Ages? Look at the clothes you wear, they look exactly like those dead people. ”
"Guns?"
Ducater waved his finger behind him, and the guards behind him ran in the direction of Bruce, those four guys had been pressed and beaten by Bruce, as one of the most powerful geniuses in the Shadow Warrior Alliance, the four elites, it was really not enough to see.
And Ducat's meaning is already obvious, he wants to deal with Cyber himself, the bastard who spoiled the good show he directed.
"You're the "red ghost", right? Actually, your statement can be changed, I still can't understand why some people think that they can use a gun to deal with all opponents?"
The ninja master gently waved the staff sword in his hand, and the thin blade seemed to shake out an afterimage in the air, but after his wrist moved, the afterimage quickly disappeared again, turning into a silver blade again.
Ducater looked at Cyber in front of him, a playful smile on the corner of his mouth,
"The gun is the stupidest weapon of all, the bullet becomes no threat when it leaves the chamber, it is not even as good as the bow and arrow, at least the arrow can change direction, and are you sure you can really hit me?"
"Bang"
Cyber replied with practical actions, he aimed at Ducat's heart, at a distance of less than 10 meters, the bullet only needed one-thirtieth of a second to hit him, almost the moment he pressed the trigger, Ducat's figure blurred, like a swaying of light and shadow, no blood burst out, and Cyber's eyes widened at this moment.
"Smack"
One of the cups behind Ducat was shattered by a bullet, and Ducat's face still had that mysterious smile on his face, which made Cyber's brain dizzy, but the ninja master didn't give him much time to think, and at the same time he pulled the trigger a second time, Ducat's figure suddenly disappeared in place.
"It's my turn. ”
"Poof"
A burning heat entered his abdomen, followed by pain pouring out of the bone marrow and every cell, and he looked down to see the sword in Ducat's hand piercing his lower abdomen, blood flowing from the wound, and then he heard Ducat's faint voice ringing in his ears,
"Otherwise, why would we call the Shadow Warrior?"
"Ahem... Change, mutant?"
Cyber struggled to ask, the sword stabbed with extreme accuracy, stabbing a sword in the vital part, as if opening a gap in a balloon, Cyber felt that the strength of his whole body was rapidly draining, but his question made Ducater laugh dumbly.
"No kidding, kid. ”
Ducat's black-gloved hand rested on Cyber's shoulder, and with a gentle push, Cyber's body shook a little, and he reached out to grab something, but finally felt his arms grow weaker and weaker, and then fell to the ground, the pistol slamming into the masonry of the hall with a crisp sound.
"Mutants?"
Ducat took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the blood from the staff and sword, and then threw the handkerchief on Cyber's body, watching Cyber's blood slowly flow out, staining the snow-white tablecloth behind him red, and the ninja master breathed a sigh of relief,
"Are you humiliating me?"
Ducater shook his hand, a drop of blood ran down the top of the glove, he frowned, he saw the mark of the bullet on his arm, he shook his head, and ignored it, the pain could not affect his movements, his breathing was a little rapid, it was obvious that the blow just now was not as easy as he appeared.
With the speed of a mortal body to dodge bullets, this kind of movement is obviously extremely heavy on the body, but it can instantly kill the red ** ghost who is quite threatening, Ducater thinks it is worth it, he shook the blade in his hand, turned his head to look at the other side, Bruce has fallen into a hard battle.
He was just a mortal with more skilled martial arts, and in the face of the siege of more than a dozen people, he just defended, which became quite difficult, and he had no weapons in his hands, although those shadow warriors were only fighting with daggers and cold weapons in short swords, but in these few minutes, they still left more than a dozen wounds of different depths on his body.
He fought very hard, and the gunshot just now and Cyber's fall to the ground also put Bruce under great pressure, but just as Ducat turned and walked in the direction of Bruce, Cyber's eyes suddenly opened when he was lying on the ground, and the heat in his body turned wildly under the stimulation of this fatal injury, and the wound in his abdomen had stopped bleeding, although it had not yet healed, although the pain was still spreading, Cyber's fingers could already move.
He took a deep breath and did not get up immediately, but moved his arms silently on the ground with difficulty, and Lucius, who was locked in the corner, noticed this scene, and he almost screamed in shock, only to be covered tightly by Alfred.
"Mutants!"
Ah Fu also watched the movement of Cyber's fingers with blazing eyes, and hope once again appeared in his already anxious eyes.
"Tell me!"
Ducater held the sword in his left hand, and the subordinates stepped out of the way and withdrew from the battlefield, leaving the place for the master and apprentice.
He looked at the wounded Bruce Wayne, and he stabbed a sword at the panting Bruce, and he shouted,
"Open your eyes and look at your city, every day new evils are born, and within that glorious city is a quagmire of corruption and stench!
"Bang"
The figures of Bruce and Ducater collided together, their fists hitting each other's chests, Bruce took three steps back, Ducater fell in place, only his feet slightly apart, and the staff sword in his hand shone dangerously in the space between the two people like a foraging viper.
Faced with his question, Bruce Wayne responded loudly while dodging in embarrassment,
"But it's not your turn to judge! You are not qualified to decide the lives and future of these millions!"
"Buzz"
The trembling blade stabbed Bruce in the shoulder under Ducat's manipulation, and he was short to dodge, but Ducat, who stepped forward, kicked him in the chest, kicking Bruce flying, and he rolled on the ground, quickly stood up, and took a fighting stance.
Ducat took a sharp breath, and his voice became calm again, as if he were making some kind of declaration,
"No, my disciple, we are qualified to do this! After Sanha, the teachings of the old man of the mountain were spread, and he eventually affected the whole world, everything is false, everything is allowed! You probably don't understand its meaning by now, but it doesn't matter!"
"The important thing is that human civilization should not live in this form! Crime, despair, human life should not be like this! The Shadow Warrior Alliance, we have many other names, the League of Assassins, the Ninja Legion, etc., but our purpose has never changed! We have been committed to investigating human corruption for thousands of years!"
Ducat's footsteps turned slightly, and between speaking, he had quietly positioned his body into the most suitable movement for the thrust, and Bruce seemed unaware of all this, Ducat's fanatical voice echoed through the hall,
"The destruction of Gotham is inevitable, and it is not singular! Look at history! We destroyed Rome because it can no longer lead civilization forward!"
"That's destruction, yes, but do you really think we're only going to destroy?"
The staff and sword in the ninja master's hand rang out, and his voice turned low,
"No! Your understanding of us is too superficial! Bruce, when the ships carried the plague around the world, we burned London to the ground, because the city had been taken over by the plague, and after that flame, England rose, and then the whole world flew into a new era, you see? Every time civilization reaches the quagmire of corruption and stench, we stand up to destroy or save it! We destroy all evil, and then bring new life!"
At this moment, Ducat could be regarded as telling the true glorious history of the Shadow Warrior, and the entire hall seemed to be shocked except for the poor chairman Earl, who had passed out due to excessive blood loss.
Ducater smiled with satisfaction, and he looked at Bruce Wayne, his eyes full of sincerity,
"When the forest grows too luxuriantly, it is only natural for a fire to come, and lo and behold, this is the law of civilization and nature, you cannot stop this law, and you and I both know it, you can't stop it! Join us, Bruce, your talent should not be wasted in Gotham, you will become the overseer of the whole civilization! This is your responsibility and mission from birth!"
Bruce stared at Ducad, his mouth pursed, and finally, he breathed a sigh of relief,
"Well... Ducad, but you have to survive first!"
“?”
Ducater looked back sharply and saw Cyber sitting up from the ground silently, a red flame bursting from the chamber of his black pistol.
And the deadly light that shone in the obscured eyes behind the flames.
"Die, old bastard!"
