Qi Pengju did not actually go all out and kill Ding Wenle in the end.
After using several bottles of healing potions to stop the bleeding from his stab wounds, he and his subordinates subdued Ding Wenle.
Of course, Qi Pengju, who had almost been ripped open, did not let Ding Wenle off lightly either.
Not only did he stab the other party several times, but after subduing him, he also subjected him to a barrage of punches and kicks, leaving Ding Wenle bruised and battered.
What was originally a tender and pink child was beaten into a pig's head that even his father wouldn't recognize.
"Give him a few bottles of healing potions. Don't let him die."
Qi Pengju thought for a moment and felt it was still not secure enough, so he gave another order to his subordinates: "Sever his hand and foot tendons. Then, the two of you hold knives to his throat and keep a close eye on him. If his father appears, use him to threaten his father."
Severing the hand and foot tendons could be healed with healing potions or the abilities of evolvers, as long as it wasn't for too long.
He was not afraid of completely enraging Ding Teng and making him retaliate desperately.
Without mentioning Qi Pengju's anxious wait for Qin Shilei's result in chasing the Zombie Emperor.
Meanwhile, Qin Shilei, guided by his tracking technique, directly pursued the target to a small town tens of kilometers away from Dujiang City.
At this time, the small town was already swarming with zombies.
"If I hadn't just learned this tracking technique, I would have let you escape."
Qin Shilei smiled as he looked at a three-story building in the town.
The opponent's move to turn into a bloody light and escape was not only extremely fast but also left almost no trace.
Without the tracking technique, he would have been unable to catch up.
Even if he knew the opponent was likely hiding among the zombies, it was incredibly difficult to find a single zombie in the vast sea of them.
Just like now, if he didn't rely on the guidance of the tracking technique, he wouldn't have discovered that the opponent was hiding in that building.
"Phantom, let's go."
As soon as Qin Shilei flew near the building, the silver-level zombies lurking around immediately charged at him fiercely.
For these relatively weak but numerous zombies, the area-of-effect skill Devouring Thunder was more suitable.
Qin Shilei waved his hand casually, and violent heavenly thunder with a destructive aura descended from the sky.
The zombies were turned into ashes before they could even get within ten meters of him.
Under Qin Shilei's control, Phantom rushed into the building first.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the entire building collapsed, and one large and one small figure rushed out.
Seeing Ding Teng's figure, Qin Shilei's eyes immediately narrowed.
In Dujiang City, Phantom had clearly severely injured him, making him look like he was about to die.
Although his clothes were tattered now, the wounds on his body had already disappeared.
His aura had slightly decreased, but he was still evenly matched with Phantom.
Was this his incredibly strong self-healing ability?
Seeing that One-Punch Man, Phantom, couldn't take him down in a short time, Qin Shilei also activated the attribute of Dharma Manifestation of Heaven and Earth.
He rushed forward with his Great Sword.
As soon as he entered the battle, Qin Shilei immediately felt his body sink again.
Perhaps due to his injuries, the range of the opponent's gravity control was only about seven or eight meters, and the intensity was slightly reduced, to only a little over ten times.
"Roar!"
Seeing that Qin Shilei was going to surround and attack him with Phantom, Ding Teng roared again and summoned his subordinates for help.
"You have subordinates, and I have subordinates too."
Qin Shilei waved his hand and summoned Vajra and Glutton simultaneously.
Upon seeing Vajra and Glutton, Ding Teng's expression changed drastically.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and prepared to use his blood escape technique again.
Thunder Dragon!
Qin Shilei didn't wait for the Thunder Dragon to fully form before quickly unleashing it.
Sizzle!
The Thunder Dragon rapidly eroded the blood screen that Ding Teng spat out.
As a large portion of his blood energy was consumed by the lightning, Ding Teng was forced to break out of his blood escape.
His face flushed, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
This was completely due to being severely injured by the backlash of his ultimate skill when he failed to successfully execute the blood escape.
Before he could recover, a silver light flashed, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, losing control of his body once more.
Fierce sword energy continuously bombarded Ding Teng.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, and terrifying sword marks appeared all over Ding Teng's body.
After one second, Qin Shilei stopped attacking, took out a Contract Scroll, tore it in half, and threw it at the opponent.
At the same time, he rapidly formed beast-taming hand seals and pressed them towards the opponent.
His mind instantly connected with a wild and ferocious mental force.
This mental force was not only violent but also carried various dark and negative influences.
As soon as he came into contact with this mental force, Qin Shilei felt a surge of bloodlust, madness, and a desire to destroy everything.
One-Punch Man!
Qin Shilei willed it, and quickly activated another attribute on his body.
With the sudden surge in strength, all negative thoughts were forcefully suppressed.
Phantom, under his control, also unleashed bolts of lightning towards Ding Teng.
Ding Teng, while enduring Phantom's attacks, resisted Qin Shilei's powerful contract.
"Roar!"
Two seconds passed quickly. Ding Teng recovered from his stiffening and let out a sky-piercing roar.
With his roar as the emperor, the zombies within a hundred-kilometer radius fell into a frenzy, their eyes turning red as they charged towards the building, hoping to rescue their emperor.
However, any zombie that approached within two hundred meters of the building was obliterated by the two beasts, Vajra and Glutton.
Although Ding Teng broke free from the stiffening, he was severely injured and had to resist Qin Shilei's contract, making it impossible for him to escape. He could only focus on resisting the invasion of the contract force.
Originally, as the Zombie Emperor, a mere contract scroll would never have been able to subdue him.
Logically speaking, Qin Shilei should never have been able to subdue Ding Teng, the Zombie Emperor, with just a red contract scroll.
However, he had severely injured Ding Teng twice and then, while the opponent was stiff, used the contract scroll, preventing the opponent from shattering it immediately.
Coupled with the assistance of the beast-taming techniques from the Beast Taming Manual and the increased mental strength from One-Punch Man.
Finally, Phantom continued to wear down the opponent's strength with lightning.
Due to various reasons, Qin Shilei's mental force forcefully penetrated Ding Teng's dark sea of consciousness, leaving a mark of control at its deepest point.
"Phantom, stop."
As soon as the contract was successful, Qin Shilei immediately ordered Phantom to cease its attack.
At this moment, Ding Teng looked as if he had been cut into a thousand pieces, with no part of his body intact.
Dozens of wounds, deep enough to expose bone, had become charred black from the lightning strikes, with fresh blood still seeping out.
A section of his large intestine had fallen out of a wound the size of a bowl and had also been blasted into charcoal.
If it weren't for the connection between master and servant still existing, Qin Shilei would have suspected that the other party had already died.
"Stop playing dead. Quickly tell your subordinates to stop."
Qin Shilei kicked Ding Teng and ordered.
"Hmph!"
A weak, insect-like sound came from Ding Teng's mouth.
Damn it, he couldn't even command his contract spirit.
Qin Shilei gritted his teeth and opened the system panel.
