An enormous wound had been torn open inside the body by the Mo Yu Sword, and the Earth Dragon was writhing in pain beneath the ground.

"What tough flesh!" Ling Feng was somewhat astonished. With the sharpness of the Mo Yu Sword, this strike had actually encountered significant resistance, indicating that the dragon's flesh was indeed very tough and had strong defensive capabilities.

However, the Earth Dragon's biggest mistake was swallowing Ling Feng. Compared to its tough outer skin, the Earth Dragon's internal organs were extremely soft, offering virtually no resistance against the Mo Yu Sword!

Ling Feng charged all the way, and wherever he went, the Mo Yu Sword glinted, turning numerous pieces of flesh under its sharp attack into a rain of blood.

"Truly tenacious!" The flesh of the Earth Dragon contained a potent poison. Although Ling Feng had caused significant damage to the Earth Dragon, at the same time, Ling Feng, being inside the Earth Dragon's belly, was constantly enduring the erosion of this poison!

Along with his earlier forceful confrontation with Redick and a strike that injured Wu Rilin, Ling Feng's energy expenditure had been massive!

"No, I can't delay here much longer!" Ling Feng thought to himself. He needed to make a concerted effort to break out!

Because he was inside the Earth Dragon, Ling Feng couldn't distinguish the directions, so he could only try his luck and charge toward one direction!

Fortunately, the direction Ling Feng was moving toward was precisely the Earth Dragon's Core Mansion!

"This is..." Ling Feng dashed into a space about tens of cubic meters large, where an earthy-yellow bead was diffusing a soft glow mid-air.

"The Earth Dragon's inner core?" Ling Feng's eyes brightened. Under the soft glow, Ling Feng felt his body lighten, and the adverse effects of the Blood Poison on him were significantly reduced.

A flash of light sparked in Ling Feng's eyes, "Good stuff, truly good stuff."

As he spoke, his hand reached out for the inner core.

With a boom, a burst of repulsive force emanated from the inner core, flinging Ling Feng away.

The Earth Dragon's body also trembled; it, too, felt a great crisis! The inner core was the essence of the Earth Dragon, and if its core was taken away, the Earth Dragon would surely die!

The Earth Dragon's inner core suddenly surged outward, but Ling Feng was quicker. He lunged forward in a leap, broke the Barrier around the inner core, and seized the Earth Dragon's inner core in his hand!

Holding the inner core, the Mo Yu Sword conveyed the joyous emotions of the Sword Spirit. It was clear that this Earth Dragon's inner core was indeed a treasure!

"Roar!" The Earth Dragon roared in grief and indignation, and the inner core trembled continuously in Ling Feng's hand but was unable to break free from his grasp.

"Still trying to struggle?" Ling Feng laughed heartily and then swung the Mo Yu Sword with his right hand, "Break for me!"

The sword light of the Mo Yu Sword crisscrossed around, and the Earth Dragon realized that its control over the inner core was growing weaker. Clearly, the individual it had swallowed was beginning to take control of its inner core!

Roar! The Earth Dragon let out a roar filled with satisfactory rage, the roar carrying anger and resolve!

Just then, the inner core in Ling Feng's hand suddenly shone brightly, and its struggling force, which had been weakening, grew even stronger!

"Not good, the Earth Dragon is going to self-destruct!" Ling Feng's eyes widened, not expecting the Earth Dragon to be so resolute!

Ling Feng slashed with his sword, and with a crack, a tiny crack appeared on the inner core, shedding a fifth of the inner core as a fragment!

But this did not stop the inner core's anomaly.

Boom! The inner core exploded suddenly, and Ling Feng, unable to dodge in time, could only use his last bit of strength to compress a layer of air around himself.

However, the power of the inner core's self-destruction was too strong, and as Ling Feng was too close, all he heard next to his ears was a deafening roar, and his consciousness began to dissipate, "This beast is really ruthless!"

Soon after, Ling Feng fell into unconsciousness.

In the outside world, Gu King and Dong Fengyue were searching everywhere when suddenly, a huge booming sound came from nearby mountains, and the whole earth trembled continuously, as if an earthquake had struck!

"Gu King, look!" Dong Fengyue exclaimed incredulously, pointing ahead.

Gu King looked up to see that the originally tall mountain had collapsed, with countless boulders rolling down from the peak, converging into powerful mudslides!

"Is this… could it be…" The two exchanged glances, a bad premonition welling up in their hearts.

At that moment, a beam of blood light shot out from the ruins and rushed into the Nine Nether Blood Lotus. The Nine Nether Blood Lotus absorbed the blood light and suddenly emitted nine-colored lights, under which the Nine Nether Blood Lotus fully solidified into a physical form, slowly descending.

"The Nine Nether Blood Lotus has formed, which means the Earth Dragon is dead!" Gu King frowned tightly, "But what about Ling Feng? Why can't I sense Ling Feng's aura?"

A look of anxiousness appeared on Dong Fengyue's face, "Could it be… could it be that Ling Feng is buried under here?"

Looking at the collapsed mountain ruins, Gu King and Dong Fengyue fell silent!

If Ling Feng was indeed buried under there, he must have been seriously injured; otherwise, with Ling Feng's strength, he would have come out by now!

"Such a huge area, with just the two of us, how can we quickly find Ling Feng!" Dong Fengyue showed a nervous look, "If Ling Feng is indeed severely injured, he must be in a critical moment now!"

Gu King spoke in a solemn voice, "Leave the task of finding Ling Feng to me. You go now and take the Nine Nether Blood Lotus. I will undoubtedly rescue him, but we cannot ignore the Nine Nether Blood Lotus either!"

As he spoke, Gu King pulled out a porcelain vial from his chest, poured out a bit of light yellow powder, and then whistled.

In less than thirty seconds, tens of thousands of rats appeared from all directions. At a glance, there were as many as tens of thousands!

Gu King clapped his hands and the rats, as if commanded, instantly dispersed in all directions, rushing towards the ruins.

With a hundred thousand rats overturning the land, Gu King did not believe Ling Feng couldn't be found!

Dong Fengyue, on the other hand, approached the Nine Nether Blood Lotus and stared at the mysteriously glowing flower, unable to help but sigh. It was for this very item that a great turmoil had been stirred up in the Underworld!

Just as Dong Fengyue was about to pick the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache and quickly dodged; a huge palm materialized out of thin air and snatched the Nine Nether Blood Lotus away!

"Presumptuous, leave it behind!" Dong Fengyue threw several Golden Needles, but they stopped several meters away from the palm!

Then, the palm holding the Nine Nether Blood Lotus slowly dissolved in front of Dong Fengyue!

"The Nine Nether Blood Lotus was stolen?" Dong Fengyue could hardly believe it! After all, he was an S-level expert, and yet he had not seen who had made the move, nor understood the means used to take the Nine Nether Blood Lotus!

In the distant Miao Village, Ao Yun opened his hand to see the lotus spinning in his palm, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "The Nine Nether Blood Lotus has reappeared in the world, what does this really mean? Truly intriguing!"
