If it's a fight to the death, then it is to the death.
Zhu Qilan always sticks to her words, dealing lethal blows that force Lu Bei to relive the incident and return to the night they first met.
The enemy is trying to kill him, he certainly won't hold back. He regretted not earning experience from the inconclusive battle last time, and this time, he wouldn't miss it no matter what.
If possible, he'll repeat the process multiple times.
Both of them are evenly matched, with powerful moves that could kill with one strike. The Underground Palace of Changming Mansion could hardly withstand such devastation.
Zhu Qilan doesn't want to destroy her own home and Lu Bei can't afford to pay for it, so both of them unspokenly cease their actions simultaneously.
Then, they left the city and headed into the mountains to continue the battle in a deserted place.
They fought fiercely overnight until the sky was slightly lit.
