## Chapter 343: Catwoman and Harley Quinn's Magical Combat
Batman's combat instinct, honed through a thousand trials, was incredibly swift. He raised his hand, and a grapple gun shot out from his armor's wrist, latching onto the Window Ledge of the Tall building apartment.
As the grapple gun's black rope rapidly extended, he was pulled upwards, soaring towards the high altitude—
Batman, who shot up into the Sky with a whoosh, narrowly avoided the attack of two whistling, ghastly white skulls.
Under Harley Quinn's control, the two skulls, wrapped in black smoke, became as large as buckets, forcefully blasting two water-tank-sized Holes in the Ground where Batman had been standing, sending concrete splashing everywhere.
The sirens of the vehicles parked Roadside blared loudly from the impact.
Seeing Batman use the grapple gun to evade her attack, Harley Quinn put her Right Hand's thumb and index finger to her lips and blew a long whistle.
Following the whistle, the two skulls paused briefly, then, wrapped in black smoke, they shot up into the Sky, chasing after Batman.
Batman clung to the Window Ledge with his hands, hanging in mid-air using his arm strength. Facing the pursuing skulls, despite the horrifying scene, Batman remained calm and composed. He carefully observed the two skulls, judging from their sharp fangs that these skulls were likely not from human bone.
Just as the skulls, with their upper and lower rows of sharp teeth constantly opening and closing, were about to reach his feet, Batman reached behind him and pulled out two smoke grenades, throwing them towards the two skulls.
The black smoke produced by the smoke grenade explosions instantly enveloped the two skulls.
The area below this apartment building seemed to instantly enter night mode.
Night was Batman's best friend, but unfortunately, Skeleton Demons, this kind of Magic Tool, were not creatures; they did not hunt by sight.
This Demonic Dao Magic Tool "sees" the intensity of a person's Essence Blood. Scientifically speaking, it's somewhat like thermal imaging.
The moment Batman activated the infrared night vision mode on his armor, the two skulls broke through the fog created by the smoke grenades, their sharp fangs opening and closing, biting towards Batman's lower body.
Quick-witted Batman shot out two Batarangs. Accompanied by two light sounds of metal collision, the upward momentum of the two skulls was slightly hindered, then, amidst a series of clattering teeth and bone collision sounds, they continued to rush towards Batman.
Relying on his powerful arm strength, Batman clung to the Window Ledge, using the leverage to flip onto the apartment's Balcony.
*Crack!*
The two skulls instantly gnawed on the Balcony made of reinforced concrete, forcefully biting out two Holes covered in tooth marks.
"Long time no see, Bruce Banner. Why are you always in such a sorry state every time I see you?"
That was close!
Even with Batman's strong mental fortitude, he was still a man. Just a moment ago, those two skulls almost... A familiar voice made Batman, who was kneeling on the Ground in lingering fear, look up. What came into view was a graceful figure wearing a black tight suit, half-reclining on a chair.
The woman was half-lying on the back of a lounge chair, one hand propping up her chin, watching Batman kneeling before her with a smile. With the other hand, she swirled a wine glass with a small amount of red wine. The shallow alcohol gently swayed in the wine glass with the movement of her finger.
"Selene! Why are you here?"
Batman was a little in doubt. He stared at the woman before him with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I was a bit tired from being busy, so I came to Gotham City for a vacation! You didn't think I came for you, did you, Mr. Wayne? You'd be flattering yourself!"
Catwoman, Selene, raised the wine glass in her hand and brought the crimson liquid in the cup to her mouth. Whether intentional or not, a trickle of alcohol flowed down the corner of her mouth, sliding over her fair, swan-like long neck, disappearing into the pale smoothness. Even with Bruce Banner's astonishing self-control, facing such temptation, his gaze couldn't help but flicker away.
Catwoman, who had been watching his look, showed a smile in her eyes upon seeing this scene.
"I don't remember any jewelry exhibitions in Gotham City recently!"
Master Wayne, being a straight man, didn't bother to look at his ex-girlfriend's complexion. Out of instinct, his first thought was which precious jewels this master thief ex-girlfriend had targeted again.
After all, this master thief ex-girlfriend of his was a world-renowned Great Thief.
Catwoman looked at this insensitive, stinking man before her, and her complexion instantly turned gloomy.
"Jewelry exhibition? If you have time to worry about that, you might as well look behind you!"
"Hmm?" Batman alertly threw two specialized Batarangs behind him with a flick of his hand.
*Ding ding* Hearing the two sounds of metal collision from behind him, he pulled Catwoman's hand without looking back and ran into the apartment.
"You leave here first, I need to deal with these two skulls!"
The moment he entered the apartment Room from the Balcony door, Batman pushed Catwoman, turned around, closed the Room door, and faced the two skulls circling and flying in mid-air.
*Ding ding—*
Batman raised his hand and shot out two more Batarangs.
Looking at the hard skulls that sparked firelight upon impact, Batman frowned. These skulls were clearly harder than he had anticipated.
He activated the controller on his wrist, about to summon the Bat-jet parked at high altitude. The Bat-jet was loaded with many high-power weapons, enough to deal with these two mysterious skulls.
However, the premise was to lure these two skulls away from this Downtown Area, otherwise, it would be easy to accidentally injure the nearby residents.
Electric net, freeze gun, or use other weapons?
"Bruce Banner, you'd better not anger her. That crazy girl obviously held back, otherwise, with the toxicity of the Poison Smoke sprayed by these two Skeleton Demons, you'd be dead by now!"
"Skeleton Demons! Selene, you know the origin of these two skulls!" Batman, who was stopped, looked at Catwoman, who had pushed open the Room door and come to his side at some point, and asked in doubt.
Catwoman listened to the man's questioning beside her. She twirled the string of beads in her Right Hand, but did not answer.
The string of beads on her wrist was colorful, woven from over a dozen precious gemstones mixed with gold threads. Among these emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and cat's eye gemstones, were interspersed a few orbs that looked like white jade.
She naturally knew Skeleton Demons. Unlike Harley Quinn, who went back to her apartment and slept soundly after snatching the Skeleton Demons, she returned to her hotel and, out of her love for jewels, immediately began to research these bone jades.
And she successfully gained the recognition of that mysterious existence, even exchanging for some things from him.
Downstairs from the apartment building, Harley Quinn sat in the black Commercial Vehicle, her feet resting on the Steering Wheel. Through the Skeleton Demons' perspective, she happily enjoyed the scene of Batman being toyed with.
Her bastard ex-boyfriend had been defeated by Batman several times. Now that she had defeated Batman, essentially, compared to her, wasn't that ex-boyfriend just trash?
Thinking of her moment of triumph, a mad smile appeared on Harley Quinn's face. As she laughed, two tears rolled down the corner of her eye.
