"You didn't manage to find his third weak point, it's time to go, Pei Ye," Black Cat said. "If he gets just one step closer, I won't be able to take you away from him."
But there's still one step's distance, Pei Ye thought.
He actually realized that he couldn't stop Yu Sicheng, whether it was now or the moment when the Kirin Fire failed, being able to leave was already a satisfying outcome. It was his insistence on not admitting defeat and drawing his sword a second and third time that brought things to this point.
He could feel the change in the intention to kill; Yu Sicheng no longer saw him as just an obstacle. Perhaps it was the series of actions that earned him "respect," but Yu Sicheng genuinely wanted to kill him here and was even willing to delay entering the Luoshen Palace.
At this moment, Yu Sicheng faced both him, who was waiting to be slaughtered, and the unopened door of Luoshen Palace. Perhaps he really should have won, and he truly had done his best.
