A sudden blast hit the Black Hooded expert and the force of the attack was so large that it even made the trees near him disintegrate. Heng Fu was pushed away a few meters by the force.
Everything was in shambles. Heng Fu was still in confusion about what happened, then looked in the direction of where the attack came from. He saw Tian fallen near a tree with his burnt hands and a deformed gun that he saw when he first met Tian. Little White was with Tian when he shot the fire, they didn't imagine the attack to be so strong, it was also sent flying out by the attack's force. He lied there unconscious just beside Tian.
Heng Fu never imagined the power of the gun to be so terrifying. He remembered the scene when Tian pointed the gun at his head, it sent shivers down his spine.
He hurried towards Tian and immediately gave him some healing potions, which made his injuries better. The injuries were not lethal, it was just the heat produced by Red Storm when it fired the shot. Even it was not able to handle the heat and its entire nozzle got deformed.
Tian used the spirit energy from the broken spirit stone to power up Red Storm. He thrusted so much energy into the shot that even Red Storm wasn't able to bear. But to his surprise, the spiritual energy inside the spirit stone only depleted by 40%.
He stood up and looked towards the fallen expert on the ground. The experts first mistake was that he didn't care about Tian who was with Heng Fu all this time and his second mistake was not putting up his guard when he was taking with Heng Fu.
The Left side of the Experts body was completely burnt. He never expected an ant to make him injured to such extent. He howled in anger.
His entire body was aching with unbearable pain, he gave a deathly glare towards Tian. Right now he didn't care about Heng Fu at all, all his mind was filled with wrath towards Tian.
"YOU WILL REGRET MAKING THIS MOVE KID!!!! I WILL BLOW YOU INTO UNCOUNTABLE PIECES!!!!", the expert was never enraged this much in his entire life. He wanted to kill Tian today, no matter the price.
He took out a belt with lots of spirit bombs hanging on it. The sheer sight of spirit bombs sent shiver down the spines of Tian and Heng Fu.
The expert pulled a thread tied to the spirit bombs and threw the spirit bomb belt towards Tian and immediately put up his energy barrier as he retreated back.
Heng Fu gave up his thoughts of getting out of here alive. Even if he survived the attack with his spiritual energy, he won't be able to defeat the expert when all his spiritual energy is already depleted in blocking the bombs.
Tian swiftly took out the Titan Shield and pulled out the hollow heart stone, replacing it with the broken spirit stone. Immediately the Titan shield activated and formed a barrier covering Tian, Heng Fu and Little White. Once a bomb blasted, like a chain reaction, all the other bombs instantly went off in a series.
Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!....
It took some time for the after effects of the blast to cool down and dust began to settle. The expert was happy to finally kill those cockroaches. He was already thinking of demanding a huge amount of spirit stones from the one who posted the bounty. He had to go through so much just to kill a Earth Realm expert.
While he was trying to recover his energy and thinking about how much he can demand from the person who placed the bounty, the dust around the area cleared.

When he glanced at the location to see the shredded body parts of Tian and Heng Fu, he saw the perfectly safe Tian and Heng Fu standing inside a dome type barrier. Even the land inside the barrier didn't even flinch.
He got scared like hell and immediately started to retreat back. He knew that he couldn't deal with those kids with all the injuries on his body.
"Brother Fu! Don't let him escape! Kill him no matter what", Tian immediately requested Heng Fu to chase down the expert. He wanted to remove the trouble from its roots.
If they let him live today, he would definitely return to take their life the next time. Heng Fu nodded and went down to chase the expert. The black robed expert was not able to escape fast, with his present injuries. After some time Heng Fu caught up with him and was able to kill him swiftly.
Heng Fu searched all over his body, but was not able to find anything useful on his body other than some pills, two spirit stones and the silver skull insignia
By the time he returned, Tian has already recovered from his injuries. He sat on the ground resting his head on the tree trunk. Little white was resting on his lap, it was only unconscious and not injured anywhere.
"I owe you my life brother! I will give you my everything and I'm even willing to become your subordinate!", Heng Fu owed Tian his life. He was a straight forward man. If you do him a favor, he would go to any length to return the favor. But Tian has given him a new life. He swore in his heart to stay beside Tian and help him in whatever way possible.
Tian shook his head, "It's alright brother, and I didn't do it for gaining anything. I saw that you were a honest man, so I helped you. You don't need to do anything. I'll come looking for you if I really need something", Tian knew that this guy would not leave him so easily. It was better to calm him down saying that he would go to him, in case he needed any help.
But both Tian and Heng Fu knew that Tian would never come to ask favor from Heng Fu. Even though they stayed together for only a short time, Heng Fu understood a lot about Tian. So he also acted as if accepting Tian's words.
"Can I know why you came to the forest? If are here to find something, I can help you with it", Heng Fu remembered he never asked Tian why he came to the forest.
"I am searching for a Earth Realm beasts core", Tian felt that with Heng Fu helping, he could easily achieve his target.
"What? Beast Core? I have a lot of them. I don't know what they are useful for, but I didn't liked to throw them away and I stored them", Heng Fu felt weird that Tian was searching for beast cores.
Even though Beast cores have a lot of energy inside them, the energy inside them was not suitable for humans to cultivate. If someone cultivated the energy inside them, they would go berserk and lose all sanity. The only known use of beast cores was to feed them to pet beasts.
The energy in beast core helps any beast consuming them in rising their level. Heng Fu felt that Tian might be searching them for Little White. He took out a pouch and gave it to Tian.
Tian caught the pouch, opened it and took out the beast cores. To his shock, the pouch was filled with all sorts of Earth realm beast cores and there was even a Sky realm beast core among them.
The moment Tian opened the pouch Little White's nose twitched. He opened his eyes and found beast cores in Tian's hands. He instantly snatched the Sky realm beast core and swallowed it.
"!!!!!!!!!!!! Little White! Why did you eat that!!!", Tian was shocked. The energy contained in a sky realm beast core was not something Little White can handle. He felt Little White's body bursting with spiritual energy, the amount of energy far exceeded what Little White's body can handle.
Little White rolled on the ground holding its neck. 'Little White is in danger!'
