What the trio didn't know was that each Bloodfiend carried a subroutine of the Neural Link Fabric in their Soul Fragments.
This system allowed them to adapt on the spot, adjusting their Qi-flow templates according to their opponents' weaknesses.
The Bloodfiends knew every flaw in their enemies' stances, every delay between movements, every inefficient Qi surge. And they exploited them without mercy. This was why Aksai had created new puppets in haste as well. He didn't dare to underestimate his enemies just because he had many trump cards up his sleeves.
Jin's speed faltered for a split second. A Bloodfiend swept in low, its leg technique faster than his own, knocking him off balance before driving a palm into his chest. He hit the ground hard, blood spraying from his mouth.
