Gazing at her father's figure, who was still stubbornly standing despite his serious injuries, Dan Bingli remained calm and composed.
From the very beginning of her enlightenment, she was forced into cultivation by him for various reasons. During that cultivation, her personality gradually became closed off, even in front of her parents.
Perhaps only in front of Qin Luo would her cold face reveal a different kind of gentle smile.
At this moment, facing Chi Liao's blatant threat, Dan Bingli kept her lips tightly closed, saying nothing, and made hand seals.
The surrounding temperature plummeted. Countless ice crystals appeared out of thin air, instantly coalescing into a heavy sword radiating a chilling light.
With a sudden wave of her hand, Dan Bingli sent the heavy sword formed from ice crystals flying towards Chi Liao as a white lightning bolt.
Seeing that a girl in the late stage of the Divine Realm dared to attack him, Chi Liao was first taken aback, and then his face darkened.
A crimson aura quickly enveloped his hand, and when the heavy sword formed from ice crystals attacked, Chi Liao simply reached out and easily caught it.
With a crisp "crack" sound, the greatsword was crushed into countless ice shards, which drifted into the air.
However, before Chi Liao's smug expression could fully appear on his face, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
All that could be seen was a sharp ice blade materializing in Danbing Liyu's hand, which she swiftly slashed towards her own throat without hesitation. The ice blade gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight, its reflection illuminating her resolute face.
Upon seeing this, Chi Liao was filled with shock and anger, and immediately attacked, "You think you can just end your life in front of me? You're being too naive!"
He roared and swung his hand violently, unleashing a torrent of powerful spiritual energy from his body.
A chain formed from molten lava tore through the void and fell directly in front of Dan Bingli!
Seeing this, Dan Bingli moved even faster. The ice blade, like a cold glint, flew swiftly toward her slender and graceful neck with a death wish.
Just as the icy blade was about to touch her skin, a powerful hand suddenly emerged from the void behind her and grabbed her hand.
Then a burst of white mist erupted from the large hand, shattering the ice blade into countless ice shards that scattered in the air.
Then, the large hand pulled her into its embrace. The other hand swiftly reached out and grabbed the falling lava chains.
Shockingly, the seemingly incredibly hot magma chains were easily crushed by this slender hand. The scalding magma splashed out with a "poof," but was blocked by an invisible force as it approached the two people.
The moment she was held in someone's arms, Dan Bingli keenly sensed a chilling aura enveloping her.
She began to struggle violently, releasing ice crystals all over her body, attacking the person holding her with reckless abandon, wanting to make this person who had taken liberties with her pay a terrible price.
But at that moment, a voice filled with anger exploded in her ears:
"How long are you going to keep this up?!"
His voice was deep and mellow, tinged with barely suppressed anger.
Upon hearing this voice, Dan Bingli froze instantly, and her frantic struggles came to an abrupt halt.
She could never forget that voice, not even if she spent her entire life trying.
Dan Bingli trembled slightly and slowly raised her head.
What came into view was Qin Luo's handsome face. However, at this moment, his face was filled with anger and undisguised exhaustion.
Those eyes, bloodshot and filled with tears, silently told a story of hardship along the way. It's easy to imagine that they had traveled day and night, without stopping or taking a moment's rest, to get here.
The moment her gaze fell upon Qin Luo, Dan Bingli's icy expression melted away, replaced by an overwhelming tenderness.
Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her gaze held surprise, heartache, and deep longing.
The next moment, she tentatively reached out her hand, afraid that the slightest force would disturb her sweet dream.
When those slender, orchid-like fingers gently caressed Qin Luo's face, her voice trembled with uncontrollable longing and love as she murmured:
"Is...is it really you?"
At this moment, Dan Bingli feared that all of this was just the last illusion that appeared in her mind before she died.
Even if it's just an illusion, being able to see that longed-for face one last time in the final moments of life would leave no regrets.
Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, so charming and touching, Qin Luo's anger quietly turned into tenderness.
He sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in his deep eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he pulled Dan Bingli behind him, his voice carrying an undeniable tone:
"You left without permission, and you acted recklessly just now. I'll settle the score with you later."
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli suddenly snapped back to her senses, her face revealing extreme panic. Her eyes were filled with terror and unease.
Qin Luo's appearance was something she absolutely could not accept. How could she stand by and watch the person she loved fall into this certain death trap for her sake?
"Qin Luo, you have to leave!" Dan Bingli anxiously reached out to tug at Qin Luo's sleeve, her voice urgent and trembling with tears, "You shouldn't be here!"
"Since I have already left, why did you still chase me here?"
Dan Bingli's voice was choked with sobs, on the verge of collapse:
"Why did you have to get involved? This is a matter between me and others. Why did you have to come?"
