Ling Lan constantly attacked the same area of her opponent's weapon by using Firmament's specialty, before it finally broke her opponent's weapon. When Ling Lan saw the weapon being chopped in half, she shifted Firmament backwards and sliced it towards He'er Li's cockpit like a flash of light.
If He'er Li was only a top-level ace operator, it would have been impossible for him to dodge her attack. However, he was after all an operator who had entered the imperial level. Even though he was piloting an ace mecha, his imperial level mecha piloting capabilities allowed him to dodge the dangerous attack.
Ling Lan didn't think much of her missed attack. If imperial operators were so easy to kill, imperial level operators wouldn't be restricted by each country to go on the battlefield. When Ling Lan saw her opponent dodge her attack, she didn't give up as Firmament just continued to slice towards her opponent once again.
