Long Yu just silently smiled. The little lass did not disappoint him.

Due to the limited amount of missiles that could be equipped on the Black Shark at a time, another tactic was required to keep the vampire plant busy.

Luckily, the vehicle's weapons system included a grenade launcher that could shoot from hundreds of meters away. Although its explosion is smaller scaled compared to an anti-tank missile, it was still enough to pose a threat to the mutated plant.

With the grenade launcher doing its job under Xixi's control, Long Yu felt the pressure on him reduced again.

He once again pushed forward towards the third mark while swiftly weaving left and right.

Although the exposed roots of the plant caused some obstruction in his path, it also served as platforms for him to decrease the air time between his jumps, which in turn lowered the chances of him being hit by an attack.

*Boom*

When the fifth explosion reverberated in his ears, Long Yu took advantage of a gap between the plant's vines, arming another space splitter mine on the third mark.

'Just one more to go!' he silently thought as he twisted his body to avoid an attack by inches.

Thanks to the constant explosive damages done to the plant, the number of blood red vines chasing him slowly subsided, allowing him to dodge the following attacks more easily. A lot of them were burned and even blown to pieces.

Although victory was within sight, Long Yu dared not relax. He somehow felt that something was amiss but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Before the grenade launcher's ammunition was spent, Long Yu finally arrived at the fourth mark. He easily attached the mine and was about the arm it when a great sense of danger crawled up his spine.

A giant shadow suddenly loomed over him, causing his vision to darken.

'Are you kidding me!?' Long Yu cursed when he saw the thing that arrived by his side.

It was a ginormous branch that was more than ten times wider than a red vine! From his perspective, it was almost as if a wall was being swept his way.

Long Yu turned to the opposite direction and leapt forward with all his might. The gleaming lines on the nano-machine exoskeleton armor glowed brightly as it was pushed to maximum power.

'Sh*t, its too fast!'

The speed of the vampire plant's branch was many times faster than a normal red vine, not to mention its size. Long Yu could tell that he would not be able to dodge it.

Although another grenade had been launched at the plant right at this moment, it was blocked by the remaining vines. Therefore, there was no way to disrupt the attack of the branch.

Long Yu hastily turned around in mid air towards the branch and crossed his arms in front of him.

He could not outrun or dodge this attack, so he could only rely on the exoskeleton armour to absorb the force of the impact.

*Bam*

Without surprise, Long Yu was sent flying by the attack.

Although the armour successfully blocked it and absorbed most of the impact, the remaining momentum thrusted upon his body in mid air could not be stopped.

During his flight, Long Yu struggled to control his body. He eventually managed to rotate and tilt his body before he abruptly smashed into the concrete ground.

Landing on his armoured left arm, he continued to bounce and skid across the ground. Amidst this, Long Yu smacked his right palm hard onto the ground to flip himself upwards, barely managing to regain balance of his body.

He then landed and dug the balls of his feet into the ground to cancel all the remaining momentum.

Long Yu's action created a trail of destroyed concrete on the road. It was quite a sight. Such a landing would have been fatal for a normal human if not for the nano-machine exoskeleton armor on his limbs.

When he finally came to a stop, Long Yu looked up and saw the sharp tip of the giant branch which attacked him. It was coming straight towards him like a flying python, intending to pierce him.

Despite this, there was no fear on Long Yu's face, but instead a smile of victory. A small cylindrical remote appeared in his right hand out of nowhere. Without hesitation, he slammed his thumb on the trigger button.

*Beep* *Beep*

This sound didn't come from the remote, but the space splitter mines which were planted on the vampire plant's trunk.

On each of the device, the ring of red on its surface suddenly spun rapidly and emitted a bright light.

*Crack* *Crack*

Next, the mines started to crack as the air around them were forcefully sucked in. Not long after, the entire mines collapsed on themselves as if space itself was being destroyed.

From a distance, one could see a horizontal pitch black line as dark as the abyss appear around the twenty diameter wide trunk.

This line stretched throughout the surface of the trunk like a black ring that was at least ten centimetres thick.

If one looked from the top, one would actually realise that it was not a ring, but a black circular disk formed from space itself.

The branch that was heading for Long Yu suddenly halted and returned to attack the mines on its body. All the blood red vines flooded towards them as well, trying to destroy them.

However, it was too late. The pitch black disk vanished as quickly as it appeared. With its disappearance, one could now see a ten centimetre thick gap separating the lower trunk from its upper body.

If one looked closely, one could see that the plane of the split wasn't completely horizontal. It was instead slightly slanted in one direction, which was done intentionally by Long Yu.

The upper body of the plant that was hovering in the air finally came down. Its crashed onto the lower trunk with a loud boom and started to tilt.

To Long Yu's surprise, the upper body of the vampire plant still managed to stay alive even after it was separated from the mutant seed. Thick hair like roots emerged from the part where the upper body was split, trying to reconnect itself to the lower trunk.

"Fat chance! Xixi, now!" Long Yu shouted into the earpiece.

"Yes, big brother!" an adorable but resolute voice rang in his ear.

All the remaining ammunition of the grenade launcher was suddenly launched at the upper body of the vampire plant.

*Boom* Boom* *Boom*

A chorus of explosion reverberated in the air as the roots that were trying to reconnect itself were ripped apart.

The force of the explosion knocked the upper body of the plant backwards while also accelerating its fall.

With its fall, many of the surrounding buildings also collapsed along with it. Chunks of debris flew all over the place as thick cloud of dusts followed.

Long Yu had to quickly find cover lest he be struck by any stray debris or get buried by the dust.
