Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli's gaze towards Qin Luo seemed to transform into a tangible ice blade, shooting straight at Qin Luo.
Clearly, given her pride, she wouldn't agree with Qin Luo's words, and she didn't believe that Qin Luo, with his early-stage Spirit Control Realm strength, was qualified to say so.
"furious!"
"I'll say it coldly," Dan Bingli said, her voice unconsciously carrying a hint of annoyance.
Qin Luo, however, remained unperturbed, his smile mirroring Dan Bingli's, a smile that sent a stinging, disdainful feeling through her.
“Miss Dan, it seems you don’t believe it. But that’s alright, practice makes perfect. If you don’t believe it, we can give it a try.”
"Of course, I can add a little something extra for this. If I fail to defeat you within ten moves, then the five million spirit points you owe me will be wiped clean. How about it?"
After speaking, Qin Luo raised an eyebrow provocatively, his deep eyes revealing a calculating intent.
This Dan Bingli is like a flower on a high mountain. Although the two had cooperated in their previous interactions, Qin Luo could still sense that she never truly cared about others.
This feeling isn't one of arrogance, but rather like sealing away all your emotions.
Therefore, she treats the people and things around her with a detached indifference, as if they were fleeting clouds, which makes them feel a deep sense of alienation even when they cooperate.
This is not a good thing for Qin Luo, which is why he keeps throwing out bait in order to break the deadlock.
He knew that ordinary persuasion would not be able to touch Dan Bingli's heart, and only a highly impactful approach could stir up waves in her heart, which was as calm as an ice lake.
That means destroying her pride at its root and discrediting all the hard work she has put in.
Only in this way can she truly face herself and focus her attention on herself.
Although doing so might leave a bad impression on her, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once this is done, it will be much easier to change her opinion later.
It's like creating the first crack in solid ice; although it might provoke her resentment, this crack could become the breakthrough point to melt the ice in her heart.
Upon hearing Qin Luo's words, Dan Bingli's pupils involuntarily dilated for a moment. Although she sensed something was amiss, her confidence after activating her bloodline and the relief from the prospect of accumulating massive spiritual points still compelled her to speak:
"really?"
A flicker of hesitation crossed her eyes, but it was quickly masked by her intense confidence.
Five million spirit points was no small sum for her. If she could use this opportunity to get rid of this debt, it would be a significant relief. Moreover, she absolutely did not believe that Qin Luo could defeat her within ten moves; in her eyes, this was a sure-win gamble.
Seeing this, Qin Luo was secretly delighted, but he still maintained that smile on his face:
"Of course it's true, I, Qin Luo, keep my word."
Upon hearing the definite answer, Dan Bingli took a deep breath and said nothing more.
With a flick of her jade-like hand, a cold light flashed, and a worn-out heavy sword appeared in her grasp. In an instant, countless ice crystals surged from her palm, rapidly covering the heavy sword.
These ice crystals intertwined and merged, instantly transforming the heavy sword in his hand into an ice crystal heavy sword that radiated a chilling light.
Immediately afterwards, Dan Bingli's icy voice rang out:
"Heavy Sword Technique, Mountain-Shattering Slash!"
As she finished speaking, a burst of blue light flashed in her eyes, and her own spiritual energy surged into the sword like a surging tide.
In an instant, the Ice Crystal Greatsword shone brightly, and the bursts of cold light it emitted caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply. Wisps of cold air spread outwards like sharp blades.
Centered on Danbingli, specks of ice crystals appeared, which then quickly transformed into a giant ice crystal.
These ice crystals, sharp and angular, slowly rotated around Danbingli. Then, those rotating ice crystals quickly flew towards the greatsword and adhered to its blade. In an instant, the greatsword's size increased several times over.
Immediately afterwards, Dan Bingli gripped the heavy sword tightly with both hands and unleashed a powerful slash.
As the sword fell, the ice crystals attached to it shot out, forming a massive storm of ice crystal blades. The storm, like a roaring white beast, swept towards Qin Luo with its gaping maw.
Qin Luo looked calmly at the white storm rushing towards him, and only slowly raised his arm when the storm hit him head-on.
In an instant, a deep, dark light appeared on his body.
Qin Luo suddenly took a step forward, the ground trembled for a moment, and then threw a punch without any fancy moves.
The fist whistled as it collided head-on with the storm of icy sword blades.
boom!
With a deafening roar, the seemingly fierce storm was shattered into pieces like fragile paper by this punch.
The ice crystals that shot out were instantly reduced to dust by the powerful impact, scattering in the air and forming tiny ice crystal particles.
However, Qin Luo's punch not only dispersed the storm, but its residual force also swept towards Dan Bingli, causing the ground along the way to crack continuously.
Seeing this, Dan Bingli was clearly not expected to see such a scene, as her attack was broken with just one punch.
But she didn't have time to be shocked at the moment. She subconsciously raised her heavy sword and held it horizontally in front of her.
Bang!
The invisible force struck, and the heavy sword in Danbingli's hand vibrated and hummed under its force. The ice crystals that were originally attached to the sword had disappeared completely, leaving only a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.
Under the lingering force, Dan Bingli's feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground, each step accompanied by flying dirt and stones, until she was shaken back ten or so steps before she could regain her footing.
But the next moment, a detached voice suddenly rang out in front of her.
"Miss Dan, be careful, this is your first move!"
Before she could react, Qin Luo silently appeared in front of her and threw another punch, the fist now covered in a dark aura!
The fist whistled, and the air in its path was compressed rapidly, forming visible air waves that surged toward Dan Bingli.
Dan Bingli was shocked. She could feel the terrifying power contained in this punch, which far exceeded that of before.
Without daring to be careless, she stomped her foot on the ground, using the force to fly backward. At the same time, she quickly formed hand seals, and the ice crystal particles surrounding her instantly condensed into layers of ice barriers to defend herself.
However, under the force of this punch, the ice barriers were shattered into countless ice shards the moment they came into contact with the fist wind, and scattered in the air.
Qin Luo's figure surged forward like a ghost, closing the distance with Dan Bingli in the blink of an eye. This punch, carrying the force of a tidal wave, landed on Dan Bingli.
There's no way to avoid it!
