Huang Fei took a step back.
The six vines withdrew in front of him, forming an airtight barrier between him and the roots.
The Parasitic Vine's attacks grew more and more fierce.
The roots moved faster and faster, their attacks coming at an ever-higher frequency.
But Huang Fei had spotted its fatal weakness: though it had countless roots, it could only control about thirty of them to attack at a time.
The rest merely waved about where they were, with no clear targets.
That meant the Parasitic Vine's capacity for thought was limited. Its mind could process only about thirty commands at once. Beyond that number, its reaction speed would drop.
Huang Fei was waiting for that opening.
The Parasitic Vine launched its fifth wave of attacks that day. This time, it used a large number of roots from every direction to feint, trying to scatter Huang Fei's attention before striking with its real force.
Huang Fei didn't take the bait.
His Purple Demon Eye remained locked on the roots that were truly gathering strength. Their tips spread wider, their suckers grew more active, and their intent to attack was clearer. The roots used only for feints moved quickly but lacked aim, thrashing about at random.
All six vines shot out at once, precisely wrapping around six roots poised to strike.
Huang Fei yanked hard, pulling all six roots out of the ground. The portions buried underground were much shorter than he'd expected. The Parasitic Vine's roots spread mainly horizontally, with few extending deep into the soil, so they weren't difficult to uproot.
The Parasitic Vine's main body shuddered violently.
Losing six roots hadn't wounded it badly, but the shock to its confidence was immense.
It had never encountered prey like this.
Prey that could control six vines at once,
