65 The Battle 2 (2/2)

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.
