"Yes, well, Dixingrens are naturally longer lived than humans, but even so, I'm practically immortal."
Given that he did have to re-write his basic biology in order to make himself sick enough in order to poison his twin, Shen Wei was certain that he couldn't really be killed at all any more.

"I spent over ten years trying to find my brother when the group I was leading fell to an ambush. We were near the mountains and a strange man appeared, shot our attackers and then fell out of sight. Later he was introduced to me as Kunlun."
