A clash between two sects each guarded by a Great Cultivator was a rare spectacle even in the Cultivation World.
Unless one side possessed overwhelming strength and divine abilities, capturing or killing a Great Cultivator was extraordinarily difficult. Once one reached the Great Cultivator stage, one naturally had plenty of life-preserving methods.
If one side fled with all its might, it was exceedingly difficult for the other to deal a killing blow.

If his opponent underestimated him and allowed him to close in for a sneak attack, he could naturally succeed with ease. But if his opponent was exceptionally cautious, even he could not capture and kill the other party easily.
Generally speaking, once a sect produced a Great Cultivator, it could basically be considered a powerful sect. Ordinary forces absolutely would not dare provoke it again, because Great Cultivators were simply too difficult to kill. Even if most of the cultivators in that sect were wiped out, so long as the Great Cultivator escaped, the other sect would never find peace.
