Chapter 38: Investigation (Part 5)

The enemy leader sneered, manipulating the arms of his giant mech to ruthlessly seize Yin Miaoxue's frost moon e1 Mech and lift it high into the air.

This leader was named Gerto Blacksteel; he was the most powerful combat commander among the enemy forces and was known as the "Steel Behemoth."

"Haha, even through this mech, I can smell your scent."

Gerto's mechanical voice carried a hint of disdain and mockery.

"Bastard, let me go!"

"Haha, even your cursing sounds so pleasant; I like it."

Gerto's laughter became even more rampant.

"Do you want to come out of the mech yourself, or should I tear your mech apart and drag you out from inside?"

His words were filled with utter contempt, as if he completely disregarded Yin Miaoxue's struggle and anger.

Yin Miaoxue's frost moon e1 Mech was unable to move; although her cultivation was powerful, she was still suppressed by the enemy in this situation.

She pushed the mech's engines to their limit, trying to break free from the restraint, but no matter how hard she tried, the mech's arms remained firmly grasped, unable to budge.

Her body trembled continuously inside the mech, and the immense pressure made it nearly impossible for her to breathe normally.

"Gerto! If you dare touch me, I will never let you go!"

Yin Miaoxue gritted her teeth, her voice as cold as ice, but under this immense suppression, her threat seemed insignificant.

"Let you go? Not only will I touch you, but I will also let everyone here touch you."

Gerto's voice was filled with rampant disdain, and every word was like an insult to Yin Miaoxue.

As he increased the force, Yin Miaoxue's frost moon e1 Mech began to shake violently, almost on the verge of being torn apart under the immense pressure.

Yin Miaoxue struggled desperately; although she activated all the mech's energy to resist, facing this incredibly powerful enemy, she felt herself getting closer to the edge of collapse.

Just then, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed instantly.

"Xiaoxue, don't be afraid! We're here."

A resounding shout suddenly rang out, and immediately after, two mechs instantly appeared in Yin Miaoxue's line of sight.

The first to come into view was Princess Jin Xuan's Flame Shadow R7 Mech.

At the chest of the Flame Shadow R7 Mech, the flame core continuously released searing energy.

The heavy cannon devices on her mech's arms shimmered with metal, breathtaking to behold, revealing a domineering and highly destructive explosive power.

Following closely behind was Princess Hu Qinlan's Spirit Water X9 Mech.

Completely different from Princess Jin Xuan's Flame Shadow R7 Mech, Princess Hu Qinlan's mech was as agile and elegant as flowing water.

Her mech's shoulder armor was embedded with a water-element energy core; the energy flowed as gently and swiftly as a spring, and the entire mech seemed to swim through water, carrying an agile aura.

Princess Hu Qinlan's weapon was a long whip-like device; the whip body danced in the air, creating ripples and carrying the killing intent of flowing water.

"Two more top-tier prizes. Good, good, good. Today, I'll take all of you."

"Hmph, take us? I'm afraid you can't handle it."

Princess Jin Xuan and Princess Hu Qinlan launched a fierce attack in an instant; Princess Jin Xuan's Flame Shadow R7 Mech blasted directly toward Gerto's mech.

The heavy cannon devices released dazzling flame shells, the fire soaring into the sky like small suns cutting through the night.

At the same time, Princess Hu Qinlan's Spirit Water X9 Mech spun rapidly in the air, her long whip swinging fiercely; in an instant, a force like flowing water swept in, striking directly at Gerto's mech with a cold killing intent.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Several loud bangs echoed across the battlefield as Princess Jin Xuan's flame cannons struck Gerto's mech.

Although it failed to destroy it completely, the immense impact caused him to slightly lose his balance.

Meanwhile, Princess Hu Qinlan's water-flow attack entangled Gerto's mech, binding a portion of his mobility.

"You women dare to resist me?"

Gerto roared in anger; his mech began to vibrate violently, power fully unleashed, attempting to break free from the restraints of these two opponents.

At this moment, Yin Miaoxue's frost moon e1 Mech did not give up either; she regained partial control in an instant.

The wings behind her launched an energy dash, initiating a fierce counterattack against Gerto.

"Now this is interesting!"

Battle Intent flashed in Princess Jin Xuan's eyes, and the heavy cannons on her arms charged up again; she held back no strength, preparing to deliver the final blow to Gerto.

Princess Hu Qinlan chuckled, flicking her long whip; the water flow surged like a Dragon, and the intense attack lunged toward Gerto once more.

The entire battlefield was instantly pressed by the power and aura of these three mechs, becoming as intense as a volcanic eruption.

Facing the combined siege of Princess Jin Xuan, Princess Hu Qinlan, and Yin Miaoxue, Gerto Blacksteel still appeared calm and composed.

Although his mech was retreating step by step, those powerful steel giant hands still allowed him to maintain a certain level of initiative.

Every time Gerto swung that giant iron fist, he would shake the mechs attacking him at close range until they were almost out of control.

"I'll give you one more chance," Gerto's mechanical voice was cold and threatening. "Surrender immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yin Miaoxue's frost moon e1 Mech clenched its fists, Princess Jin Xuan's Flame Shadow R7 Mech spewed rolling flames, and Princess Hu Qinlan's Spirit Water X9 Mech moved as agilely as water; the three of them did not retreat in the slightest.

"Impossible!" Princess Jin Xuan said angrily, her mech's chest releasing violent flames once again, searing energy filling the air as she prepared to launch another strong attack.

"How could we possibly surrender!" Princess Hu Qinlan's long whip danced, the water-element energy swirling into several sharp ice blades, stabbing fiercely toward Gerto's mech.

"I won't give you any chances!"

Gerto roared, his steel giant hand swinging out violently.

First, it struck Yin Miaoxue's frost moon e1 Mech.

Then, a fist swung toward Princess Jin Xuan's Flame Shadow R7 Mech.

Finally, it smashed fiercely toward Princess Hu Qinlan's Spirit Water X9 Mech.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Three deafening explosions rang out in succession, and the three mechs retreated repeatedly under this series of blows.

Yin Miaoxue's mech vibrated violently, and the freezing System behind it emitted an urgent alarm: "Warning, power System failure, excessive power load."

"Zzz—"

Electrical currents short-circuited inside the frost moon e1 Mech, sparks began to emerge from the mech's surface, and the entire mech seemed to have received a fatal blow.

Princess Jin Xuan's Flame Shadow R7 Mech fared no better; the flame core in its chest emitted a muffled sound, followed by: "Warning, energy output unstable, core temperature too high."

Princess Hu Qinlan's Spirit Water X9 Mech, due to overusing the long whip attack, lost most of its agility, and the water-element core on its shoulder armor had cracked; warning lights flickered incessantly: "Warning, severe external damage, water recirculation System damaged."

Despite this, the three of them did not retreat in the slightest. They gritted their teeth, unleashing their remaining strength, their eyes filled with determination.

"You are too confident!" Yin Miaoxue responded coldly; although her mech was severely damaged, her gaze remained firm. She quickly issued the command: "Continue the attack!"
