Warrior’s Promise

Chu Zhantian’s junior brother, a skinny young man from Holy Teal Dragon Sect, attacked Su Mo without any hesitation.

The commotion that they started had already alerted the others in the lobby, so everyone was watching them.

“How dare this kid mess with the Holy Teal Dragon Sect. Is he tired of living?”

“Haha! It’s outrageously stupid to mess with the disciples of the Holy Teal Dragon Sect in the sect’s territory!”

“He would suffer greatly even if he survives!”

The crowd shook their heads at Su Mo’s lack of wisdom.

At this moment, the skinny young man’s fist shattered the air with its power and approached Su Mo’s face while blowing his hair back.

As the fist was about to hit Su Mo’s face, he fought back. Without moving the rest of his body, he raised his palm to block the punch.

Boom!

A muffled bang sounded as a wave of air was unleashed and shattered many tables and chairs in the surrounding area.

Everyone saw the skinny young man’s body stop as his fist could not move anymore after Su Mo grabbed it tightly.

“So powerful!”

“It seems like he’s quite good too. He’s capable of fighting above his level!”

“Even if he’s pretty strong, I doubt he can escape unscathed today!”

The crowd talked over each other with astonishment.

Meanwhile, the skinny young man’s face turned red. Su Mo’s palm was like a pair of metal pliers. Not only did it stop his punch easily, it also clamped down on his fist tightly.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not pull his fist back.

The skinny young man was stunned that he failed to realize how strong Su Mo was. However, in Sky Dragon City, the territory of Holy Teal Dragon Sect, even the toughest person had to lie low!

“Let go!”

The skinny young man shouted and punched at Su Mo’s head with his other hand.

Ah!

However, his punch was only halfway through its journey before it stopped with his sudden scream.

The fist that was in Su Mo’s hand was completely deformed, and his face was full of sweat.

Su Mo looked indifferent. He had crushed his fist with a gentle pinch.

“Get away!”

Su Mo shouted coldly as he threw the skinny young man out of the window.

The youths following Chu Zhantian went slack-jawed as they didn’t expect this young man at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm to be so powerful.

They were familiar with the skinny young man’s strength. Although he was at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm, he could fight against a normal Lv 9 martial artist.

However, he was tossed out of the window so easily despite his strength. This meant that this young man was exceptionally strong.

“You…!”

Chu Zhantian’s face was dark with rage, and he shouted angrily, “Su Mo, how dare you remain so arrogant even now!”

A powerful aura rose from Chu Zhantian’s body. It’s power cause the air to churn around him.

“Chu Zhantian, do you want to fight me as well?”

Su Mo glanced at him and asked disdainfully.

“Of course!”

With murderous intent written all over his face, Chu Zhantian roared, “Today, you shall pay for everything that you have done!”

Upon hearing him, Su Mo shook his head with an indifferent expression and said, “You can’t beat me, so why must you humiliate yourself?”

Su Mo’s words sparked an outcry of surprise from the surrounding crowd. “How is this young man so confident?”

As the top disciple on the List of Top 100 Talents of Blackdragon Domain, Chu Zhantian was known by everyone. With his strength, he was definitely one of the best martial artists below the age of 25 in the Blackdragon Domain.

Apart from the few geniuses who had entered the List of Top 1,000 Talents in East Continent, there were few that could rival Chu Zhantian.

But now, this unknown young man actually claimed that Chu Zhantian could not beat him. How could that not surprise everyone?

“I can’t beat you? You’re so full of yourself!”

Chu Zhantian sneered and said. He did not think that he would lose to Su Mo. The only reason that Su Mo could rob his storage ring in the Firmament Palace previously was because he had been severely injured by the stone puppets.

Or else, with his strength, how could Su Mo rob his storage ring?

Although Su Mo was now at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm, Chu Zhantian was already at a half step to the Enlightenment Realm, so how could he be afraid of Su Mo?

It was because of this that Chu Zhantian was completely unafraid of Su Mo. Today, he was not only going to make Su Mo pay, but he was also going to find out why Su Mo had appeared in the combat strength testing field.

“Su Mo, take this!”

With an angry roar, Chu Zhantian raised his fist and was about to strike.

“No one is allowed to fight in the Divine Dragon Inn. The two guests can act freely outside of the inn!”

At this instance, a cold voice was heard. The shopkeeper of the inn walked toward them with a chilling expression.

The shopkeeper of the Divine Dragon Inn was a well-dressed elder with an aura of unimaginable power.

Chu Zhantian stopped. He did not dare to disobey the elder’s words since he was an expert of the True Darkness Realm.

Although he was a disciple of the Holy Teal Dragon Sect, the Divine Dragon Inn was related to the higher-ups of the Holy Teal Dragon Sect as well, so he could not abuse his background.

Chu Zhantian nodded, looked at Su Mo again, and said coldly, “Su Mo, I’ll be waiting for you outside the inn. I hope you are not a coward!”

Chu Zhantian walked away as he was not worried that Su Mo would hide inside, unless he was going to stay here forever, which was obviously unlikely. This was because it was ridiculously expensive to stay in the Divine Dragon Inn, where even a room of the lowest grade costed a million Lower Spiritual Stones per night. Who could stay here forever?

“Wait!”

At this moment, the shopkeeper said again. He looked at Chu Zhantian coldly and said, “You have to compensate me for 10 times the value of the damaged furniture!”

“10 times?”

Hearing him, Chu Zhantian’s face turned dark, and he replied angrily, “Shopkeeper, isn’t this too much of a ripoff? Don’t you know that I’m a disciple of the Holy Teal Dragon Sect?”

While remaining expressionless, the shopkeeper said coldly, “It doesn’t matter who you are. Whoever dares to cause problems at the Divine Dragon Inn has to face the same consequences. Youngster, you better not force me to get physical!”

The shopkeeper’s stance was firm. He did not ask Su Mo for compensation because he saw everything that had happened. Su Mo was only a normal customer, while Chu Zhantian and his gang were the ones who started the commotion. As a businessman who ran the Divine Dragon Inn, he needed to maintain this standard of fairness.

With a sullen face, Chu Zhantian clenched his jaws and asked, “How many Spiritual Stones do I have to compensate you with?”

“10,000 Medium Spiritual Stones or 10 million Lower Spiritual Stones!” the shopkeeper replied flatly.

“What?”

Chu Zhantian was stunned to hear him before he exclaimed angrily, “Why don’t you go rob someone instead? How can you ask for 10 million lower spiritual stones for these few lousy tables and chairs?”

Chu Zhantian was absolutely furious. His mood was not good to begin with, and with the shopkeeper trying to rip him off, how could he not be furious?

Most importantly, he could not afford it. After Su Mo had robbed his storage ring in the Firmament Palace, he was literally bankrupt.

After his injuries had healed, he had only earned a total of a couple million Lower Spiritual Stones, so how could he afford to pay 10 million Lower Spiritual Stones?
