That amount of Qi wouldn't bother people of the King realm like those five, so none of them bothered to defend themselves. However, after hearing that voice, four of the men looked down and saw that beautiful girl.
'No, daughter, run,' the woman thought after hearing her daughter's voice, but she couldn't do anything at the moment and felt an immense sense of danger.
The man's dagger was only two centimeters from her neck.
'No, if I die, my daughter will-'
One centimeter...
***********************
The small consciousness that was walking in the external area of the frozen abyss suddenly felt a bad omen.
The surrounding ice seemed to be communicating.
'What?' The consciousness thought as it felt that something terrible was happening.
It quickly thought of something and, at an extreme speed, traversed the ice in the direction of those it considered family.
'No, something is wrong, something is happening, quickly,' the consciousness thought as it felt the ice in one direction breaking from unknown impacts.
In moments, it arrived near the tree and saw that woman about to be killed by the dagger.
'No, no, no, NO!!' The consciousness screamed in despair in its mind, and an immense, unknown force emanated from it.
Just as the blade made a small cut on the woman's neck, all the ice in hundreds of meters shot up into the sky like a row of five ice claws at a terrifying speed.
Before the dagger could go deeper into the woman's throat, the man suddenly stopped.
His body was completely pierced by the enormous ice claw, and soon all the blood and body froze completely, ending his life without any reaction.
The same happened to the other four, who were completely frozen while those ice claws held them high in the sky. In moments, the ice released all five bodies, which fell to the ground and shattered like glass.
The woman no longer had the strength to continue flying or to withstand the climate of this place.
The protection on her body disappeared as she fell from the sky at high speed.
"No, mother!" The girl shouted as she ran towards her mother to prevent her from falling to the ground.
'Is this my end?' The woman thought.
But contrary to what the two thought, the ice suddenly rose to the sky again, gently surrounding the woman's body and bringing her to the ground. Even the cold climate didn't affect her.
'How is this possible? Is there a god helping us for some reason?' The woman, who had safely descended from the sky, thought, unable to believe what had happened.
First, the ice saved her from being killed by those men, and then it saved her from dying by falling to the ground.
As she thought, suddenly a girl appeared next to her, hugging her tightly.
'Sniff, sniff'
"Mother, please be okay, don't die." The girl was sobbing desperately, with many tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, my daughter, I won't die so easily." The woman said this as she rubbed the girl's forehead.
The consciousness was close, happily observing that it had arrived in time.
'It seems I can do more than just move with the help of ice,' the consciousness thought after realizing that it could now freely control the surrounding ice.
It hadn't tried this before, but when it saw that woman in danger, it acted purely on instinct, and all the ice responded to its will.
The consciousness looked at the woman, smiling, but saw something wrong.
'What is that? 'He was extremely worried as he saw that the small cut on the woman's neck was rapidly turning black.
The woman on the ground suddenly felt a tightness in her heart and found it difficult to breathe. In seconds, she realized what was happening to her.
'The dagger was poisoned, hehe, it seems that even the gods can't save me,' she thought ironically as a faint melancholic smile appeared on her face.
"Daughter, look at me," she said with a weak and faltering voice.
"I always hid the circumstances from you and deprived you of a good life in this frozen end of the world. I'm sorry, I wanted you to have a normal life. It's all my fault." She said this with tears streaming from her eyes.
"What are you saying, mother? I know you had your reasons. I don't blame you. My life was the best possible when I was with you, even in this place. In fact, I like this place." The girl replied as she looked at her mother's face with terrible premonitions.
"My daughter, cough, I really love you more than anything in this world. Grow up well and get stronger each day, not for revenge, but so that things like this don't happen in your life. I know you can do it, cough, cough, you're the strongest girl I've ever known."
"Mother, what are you saying? You're getting worse, stop talking," the girl said as she held her mother's hands with tears in her eyes.
The woman's voice was getting weaker.
"Leave this place and create a good family as far away as possible, my daughter. Please… live." The last word came out of her mouth, extremely weak, but the girl understood perfectly.
On that cold night.
Only cries and sobs were constantly heard.
