Peimian made two more appearances with Kunlun Fight in late 2020, following a break from the sport caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. On September 22, 2020, he fought to a draw with Zou Mingyang. A month later, on October 13, 2020, Peimian was able to knock Li Xiaochengye out with a left hook to the body.[10] His undefeated record earned him a place in the November 26, Rise of the Warriors tournament. Although he was able to win the semifinal bout with Zewa Liluo by unanimous decision, Peimian came up short in the tournament final, as he lost a decision to Wu Zhendong.
