You decide to bait the men inside- you know your defenses will be very useful to thin the herd and do away with Cho's numbers advantage.
You reach to down your sleeve and slowly pull out your blade, and then pretend to hesitate. This causes the cultivators outside of your manse to jump in to attack you in the blink of an eye- but it was a trick. The moment they piece the obscuring mist around your stronghold; magical energy gets to work. The first is wrapped up in thorny briars from the nearby tree, his bones crushed. The second is sliced by the wind and frozen solid from concentrated moonlight- the yin energy making his severed body parts shatter the moment they hit the ground. Your plan worked perfectly!
Cho is a bit smarter, and stronger, then his compatriots. He enters your manse once the defenses were used up- caring not even a tiny bit for his men, before attacking you with his high powered magic staff. Each time it hits the ground, or the side of your own weapon in a close parry, it releases a deafening thunderclap that shatters nearby stone.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">"Li Wan! I, your grandfather, will defeat you! Die you insolent dog!"</span></span>
While your newfound cultivation progress in the cosmic realm hasn't translated exactly into higher combat power- your ability to see the cosmic realms and comprehend the infinite certainly makes you feel wiser then Cho. Besides, he was always an upstart. You're fairly certain he hasn't gotten any stronger since your last engagement- though as a true immortal with a flawless golden core like yourself he's still a force to be reckoned with.
After a short exchange of blows, you go all out and unleash your most powerful moves.
<span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-s">"EVIL SEALING PALM!
MASTER SEVERING-STROKE!
TEN SPIRIT DANCE!
REVERSE RIVER BREATHING!
GROUNDING OF FLYING TERRORS!"</span></span>
He returns in kind.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">"MURDEROUS STRIKE!
ARM OF ASSASSINS!
DRAGONS CLAW ULTIMATE STRIKE!
GUILLOTINE OF SORROWS!
DARKNESS CONSUMES THE MISSING!"</span></span>
With the power of your flying jade blade and your other cultivator tricks and techniques, you manage to beat him back and, finally, gain the upper hand. You jump up while his guard is down, your hands reaching down to deliver the final strike-
And then you remember he's immortal. Of course. You've killed so many along your path you sometimes forget it isn't exactly a "catch all" solution.
Then, in the final moment before your last blow lands, you instead decide how you're going to get rid of him. Maybe you can't kill him permanently, but you'll <span class="mu-i">end</span> this blood feud, once and for all...
>Slice his soul into a bunch of pieces and throw them far and wide across the cosmos
>Cripple his immortal body into total impotence and fling him back to the mortal realm
>Burn not only him but his bloodline through an ultimate final attack
>Turn him into a cute girl
