@yump come on now, this is a chinese wuxia. She won't stop sending assassins until she dies an anti climatic death and that will only cause her long lost brother's cousin's uncle's father's family to seek revenge for making them "lose face".
there it is, the typical last words from people that's gonna die while saying things like "I'm on a realm above you, there's no way you could kill me" and such.
gud meme.
So I guess he lied since he guessed they would assume he failed, since it was a "trick" all along.
Fancy.
now I wonder how that old dude will die
man they're always chuckling to themselves thinking "oh righteousness is on my side" did they forget that his son was crippled because he sneak attacked qin chen in the tournament in front of damn royalty? like everyone saw that. i believe thats definitely grounds enough for qin chens grandpa to come back and smack em even if they succeeded with their revenge.
