Chu Zhantian was incensed. He was surprised that even a lowly tavern tender would bully him.
"These tables and chairs are made of top-grade Silver Pear Tree wood. I think you're well aware that they're worth 10,000,000 Lower Spiritual Stones, which was already for the sake of Holy Teal Dragon Sect!"
The tender's face remained cold and he ignored the livid-faced Chu Zhantian. He continued, "Gimme the stones, or I won't be this polite!"
"You….!"
Chu Zhantian really wanted to fight the tender, yet reason told him to endure and suppress his anger. He looked at the disintegrated pieces of furniture, and his face took on a terrible expression because they were indeed made of top-grade spirit wood.
He thought for a moment and said, "5,000,000 Lower Spiritual Stones, that's all I have. Please forgive me!"
Chu Zhantian had thought this through. The expense of paying for the broken furniture would be passed to Su Mo because he would definitely loot all Su Mo had later on.
As Su Mo had robbed him, he intended to pay him back with interest.
"10,000,000. No more bargaining!" The tender shook his head and said.
Chu Zhantian knitted his eyebrows. He had not expected the tender to be so inhumane.
"Tender, here are 10,000 Medium Spiritual Stones!"
As Chu Zhantian was still thinking of a solution, a charming girl clothed in green robes stepped forward and handed a storage pouch to the tender .
"Sister Ni!" Chu Zhantian was embarrassed. The girl was one of his junior sisters.
"Brother Chu, don't bother. You're short of money now, let me pay for you!"
The girl looked at Chu Zhantian with keen eyes. She had adored him for a long time, and now she had an opportunity to leave a good impression.
"Thank you! Sister Ni!"
Chu Zhantian took a deep breath and said, "I'll pay you the 10,000,000 Lower Spiritual Stones later!"
Having said that, he turned his head and looked at Su Mo who remained motionless. He snarled coldly, "I'll be waiting for you outside!"
Then, he strode out of the tavern.
His juniors glanced coldly at Su Mo before they followed Chu Zhantian outside.
Su Mo rubbed his chin impatiently. "Can't I have a nice meal? Why are people always seeking humiliation from me?"
However, he was in Blackdragon Domain, and Sky Dragon City seemed to be the territory of Holy Teal Dragon Sect, hence he could not act recklessly.
Su Mo pondered whether he should go out. He was not scared of Chu Zhantian and the others but was worried that he could not leave Sky Dragon City if he offended its inhabitants.
"Su Mo, don't go out. I know you could beat them, but we'd better swallow our pride and keep a low profile here!"
Wu Sheng had a serious look on his face as he continued, "We can stay here for a few days and find some way to leave!"
Su Mo gave a slight nod. Although he was much more powerful than Chu Zhantian and his crew, the three of them would be in deep trouble if Chu Zhantian involved a high-level Enlightenment Realm elder!
"I'm afraid we can't avoid this!" Hong Qingxuan shook her head and said.
"Why?" Su Mo and Wu Sheng were confused.
Hong Qingxuan raised her eyebrows and said, "To return to Dark Domain from Blackdragon Domain, we need to go to Holy Teal Dragon Sect."
"Go to Holy Teal Dragon Sect?"
Su Mo frowned and asked, "Isn't here another Domain-teleporting Formation?"
"Only high-level True Darkness Realm powers can afford a Domain-teleporting Formation. Sky Dragon City is Holy Teal Dragon Sect's place, so within 5,000 kilometers, there's no other strong power!"
Hong Qingxuan sighed and said, "The sixth elder of Holy Teal Dragon Sect and my master are best friends. I plan to ask him for a favor!"
"Is that so?"
Su Mo was surprised that Hong Qingxuan knew an elder in Holy Teal Dragon Sect.
"As for those outside, Brother Su Mo, don't kill them. We can leave this place by leveraging on my connection with the elder!" Hong Qingxuan continued.
Su Mo nodded his assent. Killing people in their own territory might mean that he would not survive, even if he had connections!
Moreover, it was Hong Qingxuan who was connected, not him!
"Su Mo, are you going to be a coward?"
Chu Zhantian snarled at him from outside the tavern. "An unmatched talent like you doesn't even have the guts to fight me. You don't deserve your title!"
Su Mo was speechless when he heard Chu Zhantian's taunts. He had abandoned such low-brow tricks ten years ago.
In the lobby, many people looked at Su Mo curiously and wondered if he would fight Chu Zhantian.
"Qingxuan, Wu Sheng, since he wants humiliation, I should go and have fun with him!"
Su Mo shook his head and strode out of the tavern.
The other two sighed and followed.
Many customers also followed them outside to watch the bustle.
Seeing Su Mo emerge from the tavern, Chu Zhantian and his crew laughed.
"Finally. Seems like he does have guts!"
"Good! I praise your courage, Su Mo, you're not letting me down!" Chu Zhantian said with a grin.
"Chu Zhantian, there aren't many masochists around, but you're one of them! I shall grant you the humiliation you seek!" Su Mo shook his head with a slight smile. He looked completely at ease, as if he did not take Chu Zhantian seriously as an opponent.
"You crazy ass! Let's see who's the tormentor! Today, I will crush you like a dog!"
Chu Zhantian was incensed that Su Mo thought so little of him. He unleashed his rage and rampant aura.
Genuine Vitality swelled and surrounded Chu Zhantian. His aura surged strongly to a level beyond that of a Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm martial artist.
"Elephant's Strength Skill!"
Chu Zhantian barked, and his body shone with golden light. Layers of golden scales appeared on his body and made him look like a god of combat.
"Mighty Brother Chu!"
A girlish voice sounded. It was the green-clothed girl who adored Chu Zhantian.
Right now, her eyes shone with adoration as her gaze fixed on Chu Zhantian.
"Su Mo, I only need one punch to shatter your pride!"
Chu Zhantian bellowed and charged toward Su Mo.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Su Mo and punched toward his chest.
Melee combat!
Chu Zhantian had cultivated Elephant's Strength Skill, which made his physical strength incredible. A melee combat would allow him to use his physical strength for maximum advantage.
He was aware that Su Mo had also cultivated Elephant's Strength Skill. However, during the battle between Su Mo and Xue Mo, he had realised that Su Mo's command of Elephant's Strength Skill was weaker than his.
Besides, his cultivation was much higher than Su Mo's. Although Su Mo had incredible strength, Su Mo would be severely injured, if not dead!
