Chapter 1023: The Sinking of Si Te Lian Ku Si

Black iron chains passed through the blue flames, and the ends of the chains tightly imprisoned one of He Mi Te's arms.

"Hmph!" He Mi Te strained his arm, "Ge Nai Sen Nao, do you think a simple chain can imprison me? Or after all this time, have you become so arrogant?"

"I think it's you who's arrogant, He Mi Te? Who told you that only I have a chain?" Ge Nai Sen Nao said.

As his words fell, another black chain passed through the blue flames, tightly binding He Mi Te's other arm. He Mi Te looked toward the direction of the chain, and the other end was none other than Sha En Huo Si Te!

"The enemy is bound, others, concentrate fire!" Sha En Huo Si Te's voice echoed over the public communicator.

Upon receiving this information, everyone promptly distanced themselves from their opponents, turned their guns, and waited for all firepower to converge on He Mi Te!

"How could it be that simple! Do you think we're dead?" Si Te Lian Ku Si shouted from afar, then raised a hand, apparently intending to use gravity and yin force to interfere with the shells' trajectories, buying He Mi Te time to break free!

"Hehe, I've been waiting for this moment!"

Just as Si Te Lian Ku Si was acting, a figure suddenly appeared above her head, holding a molten giant sword, and fiercely chopped down at her raised arm!

This motion caused Si Te Lian Ku Si's outstretched arm to quickly retract; if she had hesitated even a little, that molten giant sword's slash would have been more than just a pain!

Without Si Te Lian Ku Si's gravity field blocking them, countless shells and barrages slammed toward He Mi Te! At the very moment all attacks bore down, a tower-shaped shield appeared beside He Mi Te, causing all the attacks to strike the shield.

"Hmph, you think blocking Si Te Lian Ku Si means you can toy with us at will?" He Mi Te sneered.

"Hehe, who said our ultimate target is you?" Hai Lun Na smiled, "Shift the target! Tuo Wa's guard has already been used; nothing can block us now!"

Several arbiters stared in shock at the situation, realizing they had been tricked!

"Oh no, their target is you, Si Te Lian Ku Si, quickly raise your shield!" Tian Pa Lan Si reacted swiftly, but Si Te Lian Ku Si was too far from her position; even if she wanted to help, she was out of reach.

But by the time she finished speaking, it was already too late. Since the beginning, Sheng Wang had been waiting for this moment. Right after the counterattack drew all of Si Te Lian Ku Si's attention, she brandished her giant sword and swiftly closed in behind Si Te Lian Ku Si!

"Too late!"

A soft whisper, like a death‑summoning spell, saw Si Te Lian Ku Si stagger, and then everyone saw a giant sword pierce through her body!

The lava flowing across that giant sword was like dripping blood, brutal yet stunning!

But Sheng Wang's attack wasn't over; an explosion spread from within Si Te Lian Ku Si's body, accompanied by jets of flame, and she froze completely.

Immediately, Sheng Wang's giant sword slid slowly onto the sea surface, then sank beneath it!

"Excellent tactic!" En Pu Lei Si and Enterprise separated, gazing at Si Te Lian Ku Si sinking into the sea, and said coldly, "How long have you planned for this moment?"

"Plans?" Enterprise shook its head, "We've been fighting for so long; do you think we still need plans? Is there any of your traits we don't know?"

"Our success this time is also thanks to your carelessness."

"Hmph, what you say is indeed correct; I was indeed careless, and Si Te Lian Ku Si paid the price for her carelessness, but we still have five people—do you think this method will still work on us?" En Pu Lei Si frowned.

"Hehe, who can say for sure until the end?" Hai Lun Na's voice came over.

"Then let's wait and see!" En Pu Lei Si snorted coldly.

Despite the words spoken, nobody dared to be careless in their actions, and the battle continued.

"Sister, Si Te Lian Ku Si has been defeated; what's our next move?" Fan Ji asked Sheng Wang.

"Wander the battlefield, strike unexpectedly!" Sheng Wang laughed, "No matter whose side we join now, it will surely raise alarms; better to start random fire support, wait for them to reveal a flaw, then deliver a killing blow!"

"Just like what we did to Si Te Lian Ku Si just now?" Fan Ji asked.

"Mm." Sheng Wang nodded.

"Then let's begin!"

As Fan Ji and Sheng Wang acted, Qin Ge's shipgirls also resumed fire support. Nevertheless, the image of the adjudicator Si Te Lian Ku Si collapsing remained deeply etched in their eyes.

"Truly decisive—seizing the moment when Si Te Lian Ku Si's attention wasn't on herself, landing a single blow to kill her, truly worthy of the Ashes!" Wuzang frowned, "With such strength, resisting would be extremely difficult for us."

"Difficult? I think we simply can't resist." George V said, "Anyway, up to now I dare not say I could react instantly."

"Indeed, truly worthy of warriors forged in battle; their combat skills are ingrained to the bone, especially their seizing of opportunities. Frankly, we still have a long way to go compared to them—don't lose heart, after all they've far outpaced us." Bisimai said.

"Hehe, just admiration, not enough to feel discouraged, and doesn't everyone think having a goal ahead is a good thing?" Xin ze xi laughed.

"Indeed." Yixian nodded, "But more important now is providing fire support, especially since Si Te Lian Ku Si has been eliminated, the gravity field is gone, and it's time for us to exert our effect."

"Mm!"

As the battle raged fiercely, Qin Ge stared in disbelief at the people beside him, "Has Si Te Lian Ku Si really sunk?"

"Yes, under Sheng Wang's attack, even the arbitration mechanism couldn't withstand it." Zhu Meng Zi said calmly, as if Si Te Lian Ku Si's sinking were not unacceptable to her.

"But this is supposed to be a trial, how could it…?" Qin Ge still felt incredulous; to him, such a trial was like a drill, yet seeing the arbiter actually sink before his eyes made him feel it was no longer just a simple trial.

"Don't worry, this was anticipated; she will be revived later." Song Qingge laughed.

"That's fine." Qin Ge relaxed, thinking that whether it's the Ashes or the current Antix, they will be his aids; if anyone is lost, he would truly feel heartache.
