What is the meaning of "You kill her, you kill Ciri!"?
I found the following sentence in a TV show.
You kill her, you kill Ciri!
Based on the context, I could understand that the meaning is "If You kill her, you kill Ciri!". However, I cannot understand what are the circumstances in which we could eliminate "if" in a conditional statements. Therefore, I would be really grateful if someone could let me know whether this sentence is grammatically correct and what are the situations in which we could avoid "if" like this.

This grammatical pattern is only used in casual speech, and then only for a very limited number of expressions. It took me some time just to think of a few examples for you.
