Chapter 931: Black Rose Journey

"Heh, trying to dine and dash? Don't you even know where you are? This is the Black Rose Bar, and we've never worried about people like you! This establishment has been in business for over a hundred years, and not a single person has ever successfully skipped out on a bill. Anyone who even thought about it eventually became nothing more than spiritual light."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Then I'll be the first person in your establishment's hundred-year history to successfully get away. I know you're not the actual boss. If there's anyone else behind the scenes here, bring them all out at once, so I don't have to deal with them one by one and waste my time."

"Kid, you're incredibly arrogant. I know you have some power, but that's no excuse for being dishonorable. If everyone behaved like you, what rules and order would there be left in this world?"

Just then, from the back of the Black Rose Bar, a bald, bearded man with a bulging belly stepped out. It was clear that this man was the owner of the Black Rose Bar, Guglass. As he moved, a striking azure light shimmered around him!

"Heh, a Sky Martial Practitioner level of strength. No wonder the Black Rose Bar is so bustling, and the boss is clearly no ordinary character." Ling Yao unconsciously spoke up to point this out, but there wasn't a hint of tension on her face. After all, their combined strength was far beyond what these people could comprehend.

"You're right, Mr. Boss, I'm not someone who disregards rules. However, since you clearly knew that we were from out of town and unfamiliar with the situation here, and you knew that Lister was a swindler, yet no one came forward to warn us despite us drinking with him for so long. This proves your establishment is nothing but a crooked business, clearly set up to fleece outsiders like us."

Guglass waved his hand impatiently. "Enough talk. Brother, either pay up and leave, or face our judgment. Our establishment rarely bullies outsiders like you, but if we encounter truly blind individuals, we'll eliminate them without mercy. Furthermore, our bar has recently developed a new product, brewed precisely from the human blood and spiritual essence of troublemakers like yourselves. Since you two are unwilling to pay, then let your cultivation essence be the form of repayment."

As Guglass finished speaking, the ten people behind him attacked simultaneously. The moment each of their totems was released, incredibly brilliant green light burst forth from their bodies. Undoubtedly, this nine-person combat team had an average strength reaching the green level. This was comparable to the combined power of two of the five Heavenly Kings of the Sacred Fire Divine Sect, a formidable combat force that certainly couldn't be underestimated. This was even without Guglass himself taking action. If the boss were to join them, such a team could even contend with a top-tier blue-level expert.

"No wonder you're so bold. This must be the capital your bar is most proud of. Very well, since you've decided to resolve this with force, my beloved and I will see this through to the end."

The moment Xu Yang finished speaking, the Saber-toothed Tiger let out an incredibly powerful roar. The ferocious sound wave instantly swept through the entire Black Rose Bar, causing many curious onlookers to immediately evacuate the battleground. Meanwhile, the little ape, riding on the Saber-toothed Tiger's back, also let out a roar. No one knew where the creature had pulled out two liquor bottles, which it gripped in its hands. Its serious little expression couldn't hide the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from its body.

Guglass, being only a Green-level Spirit Cultivator, naturally couldn't discern the little ape's true strength level. Only when Xu Yang's team of four fully deployed their formation did Guglass finally realize that these two individuals from outside the domain, along with their two pets, were not ordinary opponents. With tensions already at a breaking point, there was absolutely no chance of a ceasefire in this battle, so they had to be fully prepared.

Guglass was incredibly cunning. As a proprietor, he didn't hesitate to hurl a massive wine barrel out of the bar's door. With a resounding boom, the barrel shot into the sky, erupting with a light like fireworks. Little did anyone know, this was Guglass signaling the City Lord of the city-state. As the owner of the largest underground winery in the entire city-state, he naturally had a very good relationship with the City Lord's lineage. With just his word, the City Lord could mobilize a large number of city defense teams for support. With this assurance, Guglass remained calm. He calmly sat at a table in the bar, lit a cigar, and ordered his nine-person combat team to immediately attack Xu Yang and Ling Yao.

It's worth noting that every member of Guglass's nine-person combat team had a kitchen utensil as their totem. Some had cleavers, some mops, some iron woks, and surprisingly, some even had chopping blocks.

"Ah ha ha ha ha, what a bizarre combat team! Boss, I think I'm starting to love this Western Region; you can truly see all sorts of interesting things here!" Ling Yao clutched her stomach, unable to stop laughing. She was genuinely astonished by the unique totems possessed by these handsome and extraordinary young people before her.

"Heh, I'll see if you can still laugh in a moment! Feel the power that comes from us!" As he finished speaking, the main attacker of the team, a Yellow-level Spirit Cultivator whose totem was a cleaver, began unleashing a barrage of flying knives at Xu Yang and Ling Yao. Countless cleaver totems, unleashed under powerful spiritual energy condensation, flew one after another towards Xu Yang and Ling Yao.

"Hmph, this is rather interesting!" Xu Yang seemed to be in a playful mood, continuously displaying his movement techniques in place. He wasn't in a hurry to unleash his powerful strength to completely eradicate these people or launch a strong defensive counterattack. Instead, he constantly moved his feet to dodge the incoming blade lights. Before long, various expensive red wine bottles on the bar behind Xu Yang were shattered. Guglass, watching from the side, felt his face twitch. "Hey, you damn idiots, pay attention! Are you trying to trash my bar?"

Upon hearing his boss's words, the young man with the cleaver totem reluctantly pursed his lips and slowed down his attack rhythm. Meanwhile, the chubby young man next to him, whose totem was a vegetable pile, leaped into the air, spun, and fiercely swung his vegetable pile totem towards Xu Yang.

Xu Yang, unhurried, flashed a cold smile. With a thought of his soul, a medium-sized stone suddenly appeared right beneath the chubby young man's feet, acting as a wedge. This caused his heavy body to instantly lose balance, and he crashed heavily onto the ground, falling flat on his face.
