Daphne was a princess of the British Royal Family. From the moment of her birth, she caused a disturbance in the Sword of the King, which excited the British Royal Family enormously because the legacy of King Arthur finally had a suitable heir!

Therefore, from her childhood, Daphne had been held in the palm of the British Royal Family's hands, as they feared any harm might befall her.

However, when Daphne was fifteen, her existence became known to the enemy forces of Britain, so they dispatched a Heaven's Gate Assassin to abduct Daphne!

It was also at that time that the Divine Gate organization accepted a request from the British Royal Family and sent Ling Feng to rescue Daphne! That battle led to the destruction of Heaven's Gate and cemented Ling Feng's infamy as the supreme Blood-Handed Asura!

During those times when Daphne was terrified, Ling Feng descended like a Heavenly God to save her, which was a tremendous shock for a girl whose heart was just beginning to awaken!

So from then on, Daphne often sought out Ling Feng, her words overflowing with affection and adoration.

Ling Feng was no fool, and he knew of Daphne's fondness for him. After some time of interaction, Ling Feng decided to seek Daphne's aid, hoping she could entreat the British Royal Family to save him.

Because Ling Feng knew Daphne's status within the British Royal Family, as long as she spoke up, it was generally impossible for them to refuse her! Moreover, at the time, Ling Feng was merely an ordinary test subject of the Divine Gate organization. If the British Royal Family intervened, Ling Feng was certain that Divine Gate would have a seventy percent chance of letting him go!

But at that time, Ling Feng was only seventeen, and although he had suffered much, his mind was not yet mature!

He couldn't know that at the time, he was an obstacle to the British Royal Family, a stumbling block preventing Daphne from inheriting King Arthur's legacy!

So when Daphne made her request, the British Royal Family did not rescue Ling Feng but instead informed the leader of Divine Gate about Ling Feng's desire to escape the organization!

When a puppet tool in one's hands starts having its own thoughts, it's something those in power cannot tolerate!

So, while Ling Feng fantasized about gaining his freedom, he was thrown into the Gene Laboratory by the Mad Doctor.

Countless Gene Potions were injected into Ling Feng's body, and numerous experiments were carried out on him! At that time, Ling Feng's heart was filled with hatred—he hated Daphne, the British Royal Family, and the Divine Gate organization even more!

But in that moment, Ling Feng truly understood! In this world, only when one possesses great power can they truly control their own destiny. Thus, he put away his resentment and cooperated with the experimenters, like an obedient Little White Mouse.

In the following three years, Ling Feng underwent hundreds of Gene Experiments, endured unimaginable pain and torment, and lived through countless life-and-death missions!

Eventually, when the Mad Doctor believed he had completely controlled Ling Feng, he ceased his punishment of Ling Feng!

Three years later, Daphne had gained the recognition of King Arthur and received his legacy. At the same time, she learned the truth about the past events.

But by then it was too late, an unresolvable conflict already existed between the two of them. Moreover, after inheriting King Arthur's legacy, Daphne had to shoulder his mission, prioritizing England above all else!

By that time, Ling Feng had gradually become the sharpest weapon within Divine Gate, the proudest creation and Puppet of the Mad Doctor!

But in Daphne's heart, she always carried a sense of guilt! If she had insisted back then, if she had trusted Ling Feng a little more instead of believing the slander of those around her, she could have saved him!

However, there are no ifs in this world, and the two of them had gone from being familiar to being strangers to each other!

Regarding Ling Feng, he had long moved on. They were both children at the time, immature in their considerations, thinking that the whole world would go as they wished, provided they were willing. Moreover, Ling Feng knew that he had thought of using Daphne back then; therefore, Ling Feng was very calm about it.

"She's gone!" Daphne left in a dejected mood, and Dong Fengyue came up to Ling Feng beaming, "What's the secret between you and King Arthur? Don't tell me you two had something going on before..."

Ling Feng looked at Dong Fengyue's gossip-hungry face and shook his head, "It was just a past encounter, we can't even be considered friends!"

Daphne's body trembled in the distance, as tears uncontrollably streamed down her face, "Is it really true? Are we really not even friends?"

To this day, she still remembered that year in Heaven's Gate's dungeon, when a boy wearing a mask gently patted her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you, I will kill all those who bully you!"

At that moment, Daphne felt an unprecedented peace and safety! But now…

"I know you're doing well, that reassures me," Daphne's body turned into a beam of white light and disappeared in the distance.

Seeing Ling Feng's explanation, Dong Fengyue's face revealed a look of "I'd believe anything but that."

Ling Feng didn't bother to explain further, the most important thing right now was to get the Nine Nether Blood Lotus!

"Nine Nether Blood Lotus!" Ling Feng's eyes fixed on the Nine Nether Blood Lotus suspended midair, his heart surging with excitement.

With it, Ting Yu's illness could be cured!

But at that very moment, a sudden vibration came from within the depths of an underground pit!

"Not good!" Gu King's expression changed, "Ling Feng, retreat quickly!"

But it was already too late, the Earth Dragon burst forth from the seemingly bottomless pit with a gaping maw, swallowing Ling Feng whole, and then, with a flick of its body, burrowed back into the pit!

"This creature can burrow, and it regenerates in the ground!" Gu King spoke urgently, because the Earth Dragon that previously bore many wounds had now returned to its peak condition!

Boom! Gu King had barely finished speaking when the earth roared, and the pit collapsed in an instant, sealing the entrance completely.

Gu King and Dong Fengyue exchanged a look, an ominous premonition rising in their hearts!

With the Earth Dragon having swallowed Ling Feng and dived into the earth, Dong Fengyue and Gu King were utterly helpless! At this time, they could only rely on Ling Feng's own skills!

"The Earth Dragon won't stray far from the Nine Nether Blood Lotus!" Gu King said seriously, "It must still be nearby, let's search carefully!"

At this very moment, Ling Feng was standing quietly inside the Earth Dragon's body, his face betraying a wry smile!

"Just now I used too much strength, now I can't maintain the Gene Lock state anymore!" Ling Feng felt waves of weakness spreading through his body, thinking somewhat helplessly, "I didn't expect this Earth Dragon to play dead and launch a surprise attack, I really underestimated it!"

"But though I may be a bit weak, I'm not something that you, a mere beast, can look down on!" Ling Feng's foot suddenly trembled, and the Earth Dragon burrowing through the earth felt its body being violently shaken to the point of near-unbearable pain!

Roar! The Earth Dragon's deep roar sounded as it rolled continuously within the earth.

"What strong defenses!" Ling Feng observed his surroundings, "This must be the Earth Dragon's stomach, these secretions..."

As he spoke, Ling Feng wiped his hand, and the secretions sizzled on his palm, exhibiting a strong corrosive property.

"Looks like I won't get out by punching in a short time," Ling Feng shook his head, "Mo Yu Sword, it's up to you now!"

A flash of sword light crossed Ling Feng's right hand, and the Mo Yu Sword, with an unstoppable momentum, tore a huge hole in the Earth Dragon's stomach wall!
