Tian was injured, as he was not able to dodge Cheng Ran's attack. Number One was utterly devastated when he saw his young master injured. He rushed forward to help Tian, but Cheng Ran just snorted and a gush of spirit energy swiped him off the ground. A blood refinement realm expert was like an ant in front of him.
"Number One! Get away from here! Now!", Number one was badly injured, seeing which Tian got enraged. But he knew that if he stayed here any longer, Number One would surely die. Tian rushed towards Number One and gave him a healing potion.
"No young master! "
"It's really a surprise, that you were able to survive my attack. Gotta say boy, you're not bad at all. Just that you've messed with the wrong person today!", Cheng Ran laughed loudly as he saw Tian struggling to stand up.
Tian took a healing potion and was able to recover from his injuries. He stared at Cheng Ran with eyes filled with rage. He took the sword in Number One's hands and threw it at Cheng Ran at extremely insane speed.
"Huh...child's play. Do you still think that you can harm me with your petty attacks?", Cheng Ran looked at the Sword with as if it were a toy, he flicked his wrist and the sword shattered into countless fragments, as if it was a mirror. When he looked at Tian, he noticed a gun in his hands that was pointed towards him.
"Hahahaa.....do you think that guns can hurt me. No matter what kind of gun it is, they are all useless in front of a cultivator. Boy you made me disappointed", Cheng Ran shook his head in disappointment.
Tian charged Red Storm with his spiritual energy, the moment it was fully charged he fired a shot at Cheng Ran.
The moment Tian took the shot, Cheng Ran felt sense of danger. He underestimated the Tian, but it was too late for him, the speed of Spirit shot was way faster than him.
Boooommmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!
The entire mansion shook. It was already badly damaged from the fight between Tian and Du Fai, with this attack, the mansion came down crumbling. Tian took Number One and the unconscious Du Fai out of the mansion as soon as he could.
Dust went into air as the mansion collapsed. The other five brothers who were waiting outside the mansion were for Tian's call, were shocked when they saw this. They immediately went forward and stood beside Tian, "Young master!". Tian raised his hand to stop them from talking. He handed Number One to them.
Tian was taking deep breaths and was trying to recover his spirit energy. He had never tried his Red Storm on a Earth Realm expert, so he was cautious as he didn't know if Cheng Lu has been injured with his attack or not.
The dust settled down slowly, Tian was charging Red Storm again, getting ready to shoot a second shot if needed. Before Tian could even see or do anything, the rubble suddenly blasted away in all directions.
The Rubble struck Tian and he was holding onto himself. Cheng Ran rose from the rubble, holding his bloody left Shoulder, which was without an arm and glared like a wild wolf at Tian with his red eyes.
"How dare you injure me!!!!!! I'll kill all those who you love in front of you and I will make experience hell on earth!", Cheng Ran lost his left arm to Tian's Red Storm. He never imagined that there was a gun that could hurt a cultivator. If he didn't underestimate Tian and kept his guard up, he could've escaped his attack easily.
Tian immediately fired Red Storm at Cheng Ran, but this time Cheng Ran was able to dodge the shot be the hair and dashed toward Tian. Tian was shocked and immediately activated the Titan's shield. Immediately a barrier formed around Tian.
Cheng Ran used his spiritual energy to attack the barrier, but to his shock, it didn't even budge. But Cheng Ran was utterly consumed in rage of losing his arm, so he kept on attacking the barrier without stopping.
The attacks kept raining on the barrier and with each attack the attack loosed some energy. Tian used Hollow Heart Stone, to store his spiritual energy, for powering up the shield. With each attack on the barrier, the energy dissipated inside the spirit storage.
The barrier was no longer able to defend against the attacks and it began to crack slowly. When Cheng Ran saw this, he laughed madly and attacked even intensely. His attacks kept barging on like rain.
Just when he thought that the barrier was about to break, an expert came flying and hovered in the air.
"Cheng Ran! What are doing, causing ruckus inside the city. Do keep in mind that you a part of Tri Star Alchemy Association. Don't go tarnishing our organization's name like this", the gray robed expert looked at Cheng Ran with his head high, he was very displeased with what he is doing.
"Manager Zhou, please let me take care of this. This kid has injured me and made me lose my left arm. I have to get my revenge, no matter what!", Cheng Ran didn't even care about Manager Zhou. Right now his entire focus was on Tian, he wanted to capture him and kill him with his own hands.
Seeing that Cheng Ran has lost an arm and it was a personal disputer, Manager Zhou decided to let him go this once. He looked at the kid who was able to injure Cheng Ran. He felt pity for such a talented boy to die in Cheng Ran's hands.
When Tian saw Manager Zhou, he immediately recognized him, "Hey mister! Aren't you the store assistant at Tri Star Alchemy Association in the Virtual world! I'm the person who came to sell the potion formulas few months ago!", Tian knew that he could definitely get Manager Zhou to save him from this situation, he was betting his life on him.
It was normal for people to recognize him, as he had worked for many years in Second Life for the organization. But there were very limited people from whom he had brought potion formulas. He remembered that a young man came to sell potion formulas a few months ago, that was exactly the moment after which he had been promoted as a Manager in Huang City branch.
"Stop bluffing kid! It's no use, no matter what trickery you use. You are destined to die today!", Cheng Ran kept attacking the barrier, it could break any moment now.
Manager Zhou knew how the man, who sold him the potion formulas looked like. But Tian looked much younger than the guy you sold him the potion formulas. He was hesitant to take any action, as it could make him stand against his own subordinate.
While Manager Zhou was still deciding whether to help Tian or not, the barrier crumbled under Cheng Ran's constant barrage of attacks
Kachaa...!!
"Hehehe....It's time to end this now!", Cheng Ran said sinisterly as he writhed in pain and gathered his entire energy to attack Tian.
Now Tian had no way out. He wasn't able to escape from Cheng Ran's attack. The moment his attack hits Tian, Tian's entire body would blast away like a watermelon.
