He flew into a rage, his massive spiritual sense exploding outward, just in time to see He Pingsheng flying away on his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn! That little bitch is running...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Shangli shot off like a streak of light toward the Skull Mountain gate, mounted his sword, and chased after He Pingsheng’s trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe...\" As he flew through the void, still seeing He Pingsheng’s distant silhouette, Bai Shangli was overjoyed: \"Perfect! When I catch that little bitch, I’ll kill her right there—and her husband too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Killing’s too dull.
