Xu Qing had a clear goal here, and it wasn’t to kill everyone. It was to escape.0

If this True Radiant dwarf wanted to avoid fighting, all it would take was a teleportation. Although Xu Qing usually preferred to wipe out all his enemies, after a bit of consideration, he had to admit that getting out of here was more important. After all, his original plan had been to figure out the best way to get back to the Fifth Star Ring.2

There was another reason. In this world, though the True God of these True Radiants was in the middle of assimilating, hē was occasionally lucid. Whenever that happened, it was very unfavorable for Xu Qing, and put him in a lot of danger. In fact, during his earlier attacks, he had attempted to use spatial manipulation magic to carry out his own teleportation. Unfortunately, he had been stymied.0

The only way to leave was for this dwarf to open the way. Unfortunately, given the dwarf’s relationship to the True God, Xu Qing wasn’t confident that he could make his escape even if he managed to capture and puppetize the dwarf.0

Getting his opponent to back away from the fight seemed like the perfect way to achieve his aim....0
