Her first attempt revealed that the vine mother's defenses far exceeded her expectations, and ordinary attacks could not inflict any effective damage on it.

Instead, the vine mother seemed to be enraged by this little trick, and the branches around it suddenly swung out, sweeping towards Shen Jue.

Shen Jue quickly retreated, throwing out several more cards at the same time. The cards transformed into ice blades in the air, colliding with the vines and branches, producing a piercing metallic clang.

Although the ice blade temporarily blocked the vine mother's attack, it was ultimately a consumable item and did not cause any damage to the vine mother.

Normal attacks cannot break through the vine mother's defenses; she must find the vine mother's weakness.

She quickly scanned the vine mother's body. The vine mother was enormous, but its core might not be very obvious. Once the core was found, she would use a more powerful attack to eliminate it.

In the instant she was pondering, the vine mother attacked again. This time, its branches were even more ferocious, almost blocking all of Shen Jue's escape routes.

Shen Jue quickly threw out several defensive cards, which transformed into a transparent barrier in the air, barely blocking the attack from the vine mother.

However, the power of the vine mother far exceeded her expectations, and the barrier quickly cracked under the impact of the vine.

Taking advantage of the vine mother being blinded by anger and only attacking without defending, Shen Jue knew that her opportunity had come.

She pulled out a large card that shimmered with golden light; it was a stacked card of explosive lava, a creation of explosive lava cards.

The power of a gold card should not be underestimated, but the power of a grand gold card is even more terrifying.

Shen Jue is a master card maker, and the Burst Stacking Card she creates is a top-tier attack card.

It can combine the energy of multiple cards to create a devastating explosion.

Using this card requires extremely high mental control; the slightest carelessness could backfire.

Shen Jue took a deep breath and raised his mental power to its limit. With a flick of his fingertip, the explosive superposition card drew a golden arc in the air and shot towards the core of the vine mother.

The vine mother seemed to sense the danger, its branches flailing wildly in an attempt to block the card's approach. However, the Burst Stacking Card was extremely fast, instantly piercing through the vine's defenses and striking the vine mother directly, unfortunately landing right on its hidden core.

After a deafening explosion, the entire area where the vines originated was enveloped in intense light. The mother vine trembled violently in the explosion, its black outer skin rapidly cracking to reveal its crystalline core.

The branches around the mother plant drooped limply, as if they had lost all vitality.

After using the card, Shen Jue moved out of the blast radius, avoiding the aftershocks.

Even though she had seen the core, she did not act rashly. Instead, she used the card's ranged attack to test the vine mother's reaction.

She didn't believe that the vine mother plant, which was so troublesome, would die so easily.

As the cards attacked, the seemingly dead vine matrix immediately concealed its core.

The branches crisscrossed and waved, forming a dense, impenetrable vine net, once again resisting Shen Jue's card attack.

He's really just playing dead!

Luckily, I didn't get too close; I only attacked from a distance. While it's on guard, I'll press on.

In battle, Shen Jue doesn't care about martial ethics, especially since his opponent isn't even human.

She found it even easier to handle.

Having clashed with the vine mother several times, she had become familiar with her attack methods and was able to avoid all the dangerous killing moves in time.

After several encounters, the vine mother also found this human to be quite troublesome.

Moreover, this human possessed a powerful aura, and the energy circulating within her greatly tempted the vine mother. If it could devour her, its strength would increase several levels.

We must swallow her whole!

Sensing the vine mother's malice towards him, Shen Jue's eyes turned cold. He quickly arranged and combined the cards in his hand, forming card arrays. These cards, controlled by his mental power, floated slightly up and down in the air.

The vine mother recognized the thin card; having used cards in so many battles, it had already witnessed their power.

How come this damn human has so many weird cards?

What's even more terrifying is that this human actually took out hundreds of them at once.

But it's okay, it still has an ace up its sleeve.

If used properly, there's no need to worry about humanity not surrendering.

On the other side, Shen Jue had already prepared his strongest card combination – the Heavenly Net Explosive Kill.

The mental energy-driven card array, arranged in an encircling pattern, surrounded the vine mother body.

The card hadn't even launched its attack yet, but the vine mother already sensed the threat. It urged some branches to shield itself completely, while urging another part of the branches to rush towards Shen Jue, forming a large circular net. The way it did it was exactly like Shen Jue.

Both sides were trying to kill the other, but neither made the first move.

The atmosphere turned freezing, with an occasional gust of cold wind blowing through.

Shen Jue couldn't wait any longer. She used her mental power to immediately activate the card array. The card array, under the activation, no longer floated up and down slowly, but rotated at high speed, forming an energy network that was visible to the naked eye.

Shen Jue intended to destroy the vine mother, not blow up the island. After all, it was Fourth Sister's island, her home, and she was careful about the amount of cards she used.

The goal is to kill the enemy without causing significant damage to the island.

"burst!"

After Shen Jue activated the cards, the card array closest to the vine mother clashed with the large net woven by the vines, producing an unpleasant sound.

Meanwhile, the vines surrounding Shen Jue were also shrinking.

Faced with the shrinking space, Shen Jue remained calm and took out the Ruthless Man's Blade.

Since there's no way out, let's fight our way out.

Temporarily shut down your hearing to avoid the piercing sounds, mobilize your mental energy, activate the Eye of Illusion, find the thinnest passage, and start hacking away!

The nameless man's swordsmanship was so skillful that he cut off all the branches that were near her.

As the diverging branches were cut down, Shen Jue finally cleared a path. Seizing the opportunity, Shen Jue rushed out.

With the first set of attack cards nearly exhausted, Shen Jue activated the second set of attack cards.

Caught off guard by the second set of attack cards, the vine mother body had even less energy to surround Shen Jue.

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Jue was even less likely to let go of the vine mother plant.

Even with the entire card array attacking simultaneously, the large net woven by the vine mother was still breached.

Just as the card array was about to strike the vine mother, the vine mother suddenly shrank significantly.

Then, Shen Jue saw with his own eyes that the vine mother pulled a branch that was thicker than the other branches from beside her.

Suddenly, it slashed open, pulling a blurry human figure out from the branch.

It was Balsa, who had mysteriously disappeared before!
