Watching He Pingsheng turn into a streak of light and leave, Lu Shigu was in no hurry.
He leisurely separated out a strand of divine sense, brought the poison spreading through his body under control, then likewise turned into light and flew after He Pingsheng.
Even after taking two crossbow bolts of numbing poison and two of true poison, he still had strength to spare, flying far faster than He Pingsheng.
Within a few breaths, Lu Shigu caught up behind He Pingsheng.
"Heh heh heh..."
Lu Shigu chuckled. "He Pingsheng... I'm growing more and more interested in you!"
"Tell me... just what secrets do you have?"
"It doesn't matter if you won't talk!"
"I can search your soul all the same!"
"Hahaha..."
Lu Shigu reached out, and his right sleeve suddenly expanded to a thousand zhang, sweeping lightly through the void and seizing He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng's entire body was clamped tight in that enormous hand, leaving him no possibility of resisting.
The next moment, Lu Shigu landed atop a nearby tall mountain, holding He Pingsheng in his grip.
The battle in the void fell silent.
"He Pingsheng..." Lu Shigu said. "You should know that a soul search causes tremendous damage to the divine sense of a low-level cultivator like you!"
"I advise you to hand over your Divine Slave Mark directly. That will save me the trouble of searching your soul!"
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll remain unharmed afterward!"
He Pingsheng gritted his teeth. "Dream on!"
"There's no way I'm handing over my Divine Slave Mark!"
"Fine, fine, fine..." Lu Shigu's expression darkened. "You killed my daughter, yet I set aside that grudge and gave you chance after chance!"
"Since you won't take them, don't blame me!"
"Let me see just what secrets you have... heh heh heh..."
