Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled!

The attack from Duan Li was far too fast for him to be able to detect and dodge at the same time!

After all, he had focused all of his attention and power into escaping and he never thought for a moment that any attack could catch him off guard like that!

Wengg!!

"It seems that you've been abandoned by your friends." Duan Li said as he teleported near the other party with his hands placed behind his back and stood floating in the air loftily.

Hearing that the Imperial Overseer called the other Dark Sect members as his 'friends', Zeng Jianshi laughed out loud in a high pitch, founding it ironic.

"Friends? There are no camaraderie between us Dark Sect members, only equal benefit! Hmph!"

Since he was now caught by Duan Li, it was useless to try and run away. Instead he focused on his recovery and absorbed large amounts of spiritual Qi into his dantian to prepare and fight to the death.

As a Vampire Lord, while he can't compare to Chi Pisao, his regenerative abilities made him equal to being an indestructible immortal!

"Don't even bother to try and resist. I was in a good mood before and didn't want to kill you and the others in an instant, but if you want to try me, you'll beg me for death!"

Duan Li's voice was harsh and cold as he looked down on Zeng Jianshi like a God looking down on an insignificant insect that he could crush anytime.

This made Zeng Jianshi confused. How could this Imperial Overseer has this kind of domineering temperament as if he had been one for countless years?

Such a strong presence would not naturally form after all!

"Tell me, how did they managed to escape without a trace? Since you operate on the basis of equal benefit, them being able to one-upped you this time means that they possess certain abilities that you do not." Duan Li continued.

Zeng Jianshi stared into Duan Li's eyes and found the other party was truly serious in getting an answer out of him. It wouldn't be a good idea if he tried something funny and provoke the latter. Besides, he also has his own trump card, so he wasn't really panicking.

"Hmph! Chi Pisao is truly an immortal being. As long as there is a single part of his body is left, he could regenerate even from a single thumb! I suspect that he had stashed one of his body parts out there somewhere." he answered.

Hearing this, Duan Li finally understood why Chi Pisao had committed suicide and explode himself into smithereens before. With his Supreme Spatial Imprisonment Formation, it would be impossible for anyone to escape even if they used their soul as it would be blocked. Thus, he took the opportunity to let his will escape the moment the formation breaks!

"When I find him next time, he won't be able to escape using the same trick! Hmph!" Duan Li gnashed his teeth.

"As for Muou Da, he escaped using his soul. The guy has an endless amounts of puppets in his possession, and each accommodates a fragment of his soul. He must have hidden a puppet outside the Forest of Slumber and used them to run away." he continued.

Duan Li nodded after a moment as this answer made sense.

It was no wonder why Duan Li saw the other party shooting out a string of spiritual Qi before. It turns out that Muou Da had a sliver of will inside that spiritual Qi and transferred himself into another puppet!

"What about Huan Jue?" Duan Li asked. Out of the three of them, he was most curious about Huan Jue who was able to break the formation he made, which consequently led to the escape of the other Dark Sect members!

"That guy... " Zeng Jianshi turned serious when he mentioned about Huan Jue, "He is not an Undying Beings like us, but even I would not dare underestimate his abilities. Out of everyone in the Dark Sect, he is the only one that could make our leader wary!"

Duan Li narrowed his eyes.

So it turns out that this Huan Jue is really formidable..

"Furthermore, the way he operates is alien to everyone and we don't really know what he is doing. He could come and go as he pleased. Instead of being one of the Dark Sect members, I feel that he is more like a guest!"

"Hmm.." Duan Li pondered deeply as he reevaluate Huan Jue in his mind.

It seems like the means and background of this person is more than what meets the eye. I need to increase my cultivation level to Golden Core realm pinnacle stage at least!

I'll do that once I rescue Wang Xiolun from the Eternal Maze..

"I see." Duan Li snapped his fingers together and runic formations suddenly appeared under Zeng Jianshi's feet.

This person is truly callous. He doesn't even try to protect the information of his allies..

On the other hand, Zeng Jianshi was surprised.

Multiple runic formations to suppress me? When did he have such time to do this? I have been watching his movements closely!

Gritting his teeth, he quickly tried to analyze the runic formations for flaws before he choked on himself!

"O-Over a hundred different types of suppression runic formation?!"

Pu!

Hey hey hey! Isn't this way too overboard?

What are you trying to suppress here? An ancient dragon?

"Wait! If you let me go, I will tell you where your mother and your aunt is!!" Zeng Jianshi shouted. This was his trump card. He refused to believe that the Imperial Overseer would harm him since the other party came here specifically for those two.

Tap! Tap!

All of the people that followed Duan Li arrived and landed behind him.

"Your Excellency, we must not believe even an ounce of words that came from this man! He is evil!" Elder Cheng Chao said with a grim expression.

Seeing that a mere insect dared to interrupt him, Zeng Jianshi bellowed viciously, "Shut up you sack of worthless blood! Say a single word more and I will command my entire minions to lay waste to your descendants until none is left!"

Pah!

He was quickly slapped by someone he never expected. It was Wang Dong!

"Y-You..! You dare to slap me? I will-"

Pah! Pah! Pah!

Three consecutive heavy slaps landed on Zeng Jianshi's cheeks.

Even Duan Li was surprised by Wang Dong's action!

"Didn't I tell you before that your fate is already sealed the moment you try to mess with our Lord? Not to mention you, I've heard from my Brother Shen Murong here that even the Heavens dare not push their weights around our Lord! So what if I dare to slap you?" Wang Dong said with a big satisfied smile.

To think that a day has come where I could slap a member of the Dark Sect like this, once the Wang clan gets a hold of this information, they would be utterly proud with this handsome heir of theirs and showered me with countless praises!

Bahahahahaha!

Wei Shang was also excited seeing this, so he turned to Duan Li.

"Your Lord, I also want to give it a try!" he asked with big eyes.

Seeing this unexpected development, Duan Li scratched the back of his head for a moment before nodding.

"Alright, each one of you can slap him how many times you want without any reservation. He can't use any tricks as I've sealed his dantian, all his meridians, Qi pathways and acupoints." Duan Li said.

"I'll pass.." Zhang Liao and Lu Bu said with an awkward face. Princess Meixiu and the rest that were not Duan Li's followers also rejected the offer.

Since they were not directly under Duan Li's factions, how could they afford to slap and humiliate a member of the Dark Sect?

No matter how much they wanted to do it, it would simply be courting death!

After all, while their background was extraordinary, they were not confident enough of being able to resist or stop the other party if Zeng Jianshi was hell bent on doing revenge!

Pah! Pah! Pah!

And so, the sounds of cheeks being slapped continuously began to echo with their background of the Forest of Slumber still burning strongly.

"Damn them! I also want to give that insect a slap and twist his neck!" Utmost Being slapped his thigh. He was still sitting in a lotus position maintaining the imprisonment formation alone in order to not let the chaos inside spread outside.

However, since the pillars supporting it was now gone, it was only a normal imprisonment formation, but its enough to contain the disaster inside as long as spiritual Qi still exist for him to absorb and use.

...

After a moment, all Duan Li's followers could be seen to be catching their breath as if they had just finished a sprinting marathon.

This was because they decided to have a competition on who could slap faster within a minute, and in the end, Fei Longwei won with 300 slaps per minute!

"A record equivalent to 5 slaps per second, impressive! I will give you something when we get back later." Duan Li cupped his chin as he nodded in satisfaction.

"Bastard.. BASTARD.. every single one of you.. will pay..!" Zeng Jianshi's regenerative ability was truly something amazing. Not a single mark was left on his face after being slapped countless of times!

However, the damage to his dignity was far too massive. He was humiliated by a bunch of insects and was slapped as if a farmer beating their paddies during rice harvesting season!

If I do not get my revenge, then I refuse to call myself a Vampire Lord!

"Silence you stupid child! Now answer me, where is my mother and aunt?" Duan Li shouted, like a grandfather reprimanding their foolish grandchildren.

He knew for sure that his mother and aunt was not hidden in the Forest of Slumber, nor everyone else that the Dark Sect had kidnapped.

Otherwise, he would've already found them as during their fights before, he had continuously used his Tetra Soul Sense to search for them to no avail!

Pu!

Being called a 'Stupid Child' made Zeng Jianshi's blood boiled even further, but he dared not to cause a scene anymore and held it in.

"They are somewhere.. in the Doulou Empire!"
