Chapter 275: Unforseen Event

The attack range was not the only thing that had improved. More importantly, his stronger mental power allowed him greater control over the flying dagger, and he could also cause it to go even faster! The length of time he could sustain the usage of the dagger had also increased!

In addition, mental power and the physical body was intricately linked. The improvement in his mental power meant a more refined control over his own body!

Even his mental state was affected, causing his mind to be clearer. It was like a cooling element was present in his head at all times, giving him a clear head!

As he gazed over the horizon at the altered land before him, Bei Feng could not help but sigh in awe at the power of nature. The strength of humans in these kinds of situations was too minuscule, even for a formidable Xiantian Lord like him!

"Gru~"

Bei Feng rubbed his tummy and hurried down the mountain.

He had not had a single morsel nor a drop of water for seven days and nights. If it was an ordinary person, he would have died long ago. But to Bei Feng, this was only enough to cause him to feel a bit of hunger.

Mystic Moon's eyes lit up with excitement as soon as she saw Bei Feng walk through the door. The past few days had not been easy for her as well! Without Bei Feng's Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat, she could only depend on the White River Rice everyday. It was only enough to fill her stomach temporarily.

At this moment, the villa was in a mess. Although its main frame had not sustained much damage, the interior was rattled by the tremors.

Fortunately, the kitchen was still relatively unharmed. Mystic Three roughly cleaned up the mansion and checked for gas leaks before Bei Feng started cooking.

***

At this time, at the Nie family ancestral mansion in Qing Ling village, a group of gray-faced people were also emerging with sullen expressions. The old mansion had fallen into disrepair a long time ago. With the arrival of a sudden earthquake, quite a few buildings had collapsed entirely.

As for the ancestral tablets, they had fortunately been saved in time by Maniac Nie.

The ancient well in the yard was also affected by the earthquake. An amber pearl at the bottom of the well was shattered by the seismic tremors.

Once it was broken, a sizeable vortex appeared at the bottom of the well, draining out all the water. Within an hour, the ancient well was completely empty.

Only an egg-sized hole was left at the dark bottom of the well, and from time to time, some water would surge through the well's wall, but it could no longer hold water.

Through the tiny hole at the bottom of the well, one could now see an incomparably huge underground crypt!

A huge lizard as black as night and dozens of meters long lay by the entrance of the crypt. At this moment, a torrent of well water rushed down from above, drenching its body.

A gigantic pair of wings was folded behind its back. At first glance, it looked like the dragons depicted in typical Western fantasy stories!

Perhaps it was an illusion, but the huge lizard's tail seemed to move a little at that moment...

It was already January 28th now, so there was not many days left until the Nie family's ancestral worship ceremony. The Nie clan also began to get more busy during this period.

Large amounts of expensive building materials were sent over by helicopters. The empty space outside of the mansion was already stacked with a large pile of construction materials.

***

While the Nie clan got busy, Bei Feng was enjoying a pleasant lunch. The rate at which he shoved food into his mouth was not slow, but Mystic Moon seemed as though she was not willing to lose out to him. Her chopstick handling skills were exceptionally refined by now.

Halfway through the meal, Mystic Moon abruptly looked over at Bei Feng and muttered in a soft voice, "Thank you."

"En?"

Bei Feng raised his brows with surprise. This feisty little lady knew how to say the words thank you? That's a legitimate miracle! "What did you say?"

Bei Feng set down his chopsticks with interest and pursued.

"Nothing!"

Mystic Moon kicked out at Bei Feng's shin under the table and continued eating in an incensed manner.

Bei Feng's mouth twitched grotesquely as he massaged his shin. He must have heard those two words wrongly!

Truthfully, he had already guessed why Mystic Moon was thanking him. It was surely because he had asked Mystic Three and Lin Mei to accompany her to buy something the other day.

Right, she must be feeling thankful for those bras...

After settling his stomach, Bei Feng went to the yard to loosen his joins. The seven days of mental projection caused his body to feel somewhat disconnected.

A series of tiny explosive sounds could be heard as he executed some basic moves.

There were no other strange phenomena, and Bei Feng looked exactly like an ordinary person practicing some boxing techniques. A faint mist rose out of his back, disappearing silently into the air.

His actions were slow, as though every punch and kick were carrying a weight of several thousand jin. He looked like an old man practicing Taiji fist in the park.

An hour later, he finally stopped. All the blood and Qi in his body had been attuned perfectly, allowing him to control them as he willed.

"Dang!"

A loud clanging noise suddenly rang out. There was no sight of the cause of the sound, except the sound itself.

The sound was like the cry of a sword, lingering in the air for a long time, prolonged and unrelenting.

About twenty meters away, the top half of a three meter fake mountain shook lightly and slowly tilted to the side before smashing to the ground!

The cut was exceptionally smooth. If one stretched their hand forward to touch the area, they would feel a prickly sensation as though numerous needles were burrowing into their skin!

"Very good. The flying dagger's top speed should now be able to reach five times the speed of sound. Furthermore, I should be able to sustain that top speed for a full minute!"

Bei Feng was very satisfied with his experiment's results. If he did not use his perception to track the dagger, even he would only be able to see a vague shadow flashing past if he were only looking at it with his eyes.

Come night, a blanket of snow mixed with drizzle floated down from the clouds, bringing the temperature down to mere single digits.

Bei Feng was sitting by the side of the well with a fishing rod in his hand.

The slew of snow and rain was not able to come near him, and would naturally drift to the side as though there was an invisible barrier around him.

In the vast expanse of the Myriad Worlds, there was an unknown planet of massive size. Based on its appearance, it was at least ten times larger than Earth!

Azure and green were the main colors of this planet. Even from a great distance away in space, one could see a crisp green against the bright azure. Without question, this was a planet filled with life!

This was one of the planets under the Sacred Empire. Apart from that, the planet was best known for its natural beauty!

All kinds of powerful creatures lived here, and it was more of a planet for tourists.

Every year, large batches of tourists would come here to observe the myriad lifeforms here and admire the scenery.

Since the planet was ten times larger than Earth, its gravitational field was naturally much higher.

An ordinary earthling would definitely not be able to live here. They would either be crushed by the gravity instantly, or be completely unable to lift a single finger!

As the planet only had a beautiful scenery and a wide variety of lifeforms instead of any special minerals and the like, the Sacred Empire held little interest in it, and did not spare much effort on it.

Thus, most of the authority on this planet was given to a large family clan to control. To obtain control over this planet, the clan had also paid a significant price to the Sacred Empire.

Fortunately, the controller of this planet was not a difficult role to play. The large clan did not need to appear to handle daily affairs. Such mundane tasks were delegated to others to perform. All they needed to do was to collect the money!

There was only one city on the entire planet, and it was built in a vast range of mountains that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

"Hammer Zhao, are you sure that your information is accurate? This is the Zhu clan's territory!" a bearded middle-aged man asked as he stepped forward.

A group of people numbering more than ten and of varying ages were gathered together on a small-scale flying shuttle. When the words 'Zhu clan' were mentioned, everyone could feel some unease in their hearts.

"What words are these! Haven't I showed the picture to you guys already? I dare to swear that the item is definitely on this planet! As for the owner of the item on the picture, let's just say that he won't be able to spread this news to another person anymore."

The name Hammer Zhao might cause one to think of an honest man, but his looks would cause anyone to widen their eyes with disbelief.

This was a person of short stature. He was only about 130 cm tall, with fat lips and chin like an ape's. The first things that would come to anyone's mind when they saw him would be the two words:

"Imbecile" and "Dreadful".
