At this moment, the middle-aged man in black armor, Tuoba Lie, had his facial features all twisted together, looking as ferocious as a demon.

In fact, when Ye Chen unleashed the True Qi of twenty Seas of Qi, he already knew something was wrong.

He never thought that Ye Chen had actually opened up twenty Seas of Qi.

After all, this was something only a cultivator with double the Qi Sea Foundation could achieve when their cultivation reached the True Qi Realm Tenth Layer.

For instance, Luo Xing, his Qi Sea Foundation was twice that of an ordinary cultivator, and as long as he cultivated to the True Qi Realm Tenth Layer, he could generate twenty Seas of Qi.

However, Ye Chen had not even awakened his bloodline, and his cultivation speed was no different from ordinary cultivators.

How exactly did he open up twenty Seas of Qi?

Nonetheless, Tuoba Lie did not have time to think much about it at the moment, he must act quickly to save Luo Xing.

If anything happened to Luo Xing, even if he killed Ye Chen to avenge Luo Xing, Luo Xing's father, Luo Tong, would never spare him.

Whoosh.

Like a flash of lightning, Tuoba Lie left behind a shadow at his original spot and instantly appeared in front of Luo Xing.

Rumble.

Immediately after, a surging True Qi within him burst out, enveloping the area within ten feet.

Moreover, within this True Qi, there was a more terrifying force.

This force was actually Gang Qi.

"What? He has generated Gang Qi?" Ye Chen's expression changed drastically.

It should be known that Gang Qi is something only Qi Dao Masters can control, and its power is far more terrifying than True Qi.

Could it be that this black-armored middle-aged man is a Qi Dao Master?

If that's true, then Ye Chen could be in danger.

Even if he had opened up twenty-two Seas of Qi, he could never be a match for a Qi Dao Master.

"Master, only a portion of his True Qi has transformed into Gang Qi, he is not a true Qi Dao Master, but has reached the Half-Step Gang Qi Realm." As Ye Chen was shocked, the voice of the Tower Spirit suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Half-Step Gang Qi Realm? So that's it." Ye Chen suddenly came to a revelation.

The so-called Half-Step Gang Qi Realm means a cultivator has already stepped one foot into the Gang Qi Realm.

They have not only refined part of their True Qi into Gang Qi but also have a True Qi content twice as vigorous as that of ordinary True Qi Realm Tenth Layer experts, enough to envelop a range of ten feet.

In other words, Tuoba Lie's True Qi content is equivalent to that of a cultivator who has opened up twenty Seas of Qi.

If one day, he could compress and refine all this True Qi into Gang Qi,

it would mean he has completely entered the Gang Qi Realm and become a Qi Dao Master.

This kind of person is extremely rare, even in the entire Kunzhou Prefecture, and could become an elder of those great families.

However, only about one-third of the True Qi in Tuoba Lie's body has been transformed into Gang Qi.

He still has a long way to go before reaching the Gang Qi Realm, and his strength is far from comparable to a Qi Dao Master.

Yet, even so, he is much stronger than Luo Xing and can easily crush a True Qi Realm Tenth Layer cultivator.

"Foolish thing, with me here, no one can threaten the Second Young Master's life, break!" At this moment, the True Qi around Tuoba Lie's body suddenly condensed into a massive black fist, colliding with the golden Sword Aura cut by Ye Chen.

With a loud crack.

In the next moment, the golden Sword Aura was blasted with huge cracks, and then exploded into pieces in the air, vanishing without a trace.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen's "Profound Gold Sword Technique" was easily neutralized by Tuoba Lie.

It was evident how terrifying his strength was!

Even Ye Chen felt a great threat at this moment.

"This is the power of a Half-Step Gang Qi Realm expert, truly too strong, I never thought Luo Xing would have such a formidable guardian by his side." Ye Chen frowned tightly, showing a demeanor of facing a great enemy.

"Damn it! I almost died at the hands of this dog bastard just now, Tuoba Lie, hurry up and kill this dog bastard for me." Luo Xing's body was already drenched in a cold sweat, his expression extremely humiliated, and he screamed hysterically at Ye Chen.

If it weren't for Tuoba Lie's timely intervention, he would surely have died at Ye Chen's hands.

For someone who has always been extremely proud, this is simply an indelible shame.

If he doesn't tear Ye Chen to pieces today, he won't be able to vent the hatred in his heart.

"Second Young Master, don't worry, I'll handle this dog thing, I'll let him know how miserable the end is for offending the Second Young Master." Tuoba Lie said in an extremely indifferent tone as if in his eyes, Ye Chen was already a dead man.

Indeed!

Ye Chen had undeniably opened up twenty Seas of Qi.

But so what?

After entering the Half-Step Gang Qi Realm, Tuoba Lie's True Qi content was already twice as vigorous as before, not weak compared to Ye Chen.

Moreover, he had compressed and refined one-third of his True Qi into Gang Qi, many times more powerful than True Qi.

If True Qi were an egg, then the Gang Qi he refined would be an incredibly hard stone.

How could an egg possibly defeat a stone!

Therefore, he was absolutely confident he could crush this little beast, Ye Chen.

"Master, you must be careful, those reaching the Half-Step Gang Qi Realm often have already cultivated their martial arts to the Perfection Realm, otherwise they couldn't compress and refine their True Qi! So, this guy must at least master one Perfection Realm martial art," the Tower Spirit couldn't help but remind Ye Chen.

Luo Xing's True Qi content not only fell way behind Ye Chen but also his cultivation of the Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts had only reached the Great Success Realm.

Therefore, it was natural for him to be easily defeated by Ye Chen.

But Tuoba Lie was different.

His True Qi content was not much inferior to Ye Chen, and one-third of his True Qi had been transformed into Gang Qi, making his overall quality much stronger than Ye Chen's True Qi.

Additionally, he had already cultivated at least one martial art to the Perfection Realm, bringing his combat power far beyond Luo Xing.

Even if Ye Chen wanted to defeat him, it would definitely not be an easy task.

If things went wrong, Ye Chen might even face the risk of falling.

"Master, as long as you have breath, there will be hope, if it truly doesn't work, you should escape," the Tower Spirit sighed helplessly.

In fact, even if Ye Chen chose to flee, it wouldn't be disgraceful.

After all, Tuoba Lie was some twenty years older than Ye Chen, considered an old generation cultivator.

It wouldn't be surprising if Ye Chen couldn't defeat an older generation cultivator.

"No, today, I must kill Luo Xing." Ye Chen shook his head, his expression resolute, as if no one could shake his determination.

He had finally encountered a chance to kill Luo Xing, how could he give up?

As for Tuoba Lie, although his strength was indeed formidable.

If Ye Chen went all out, it wasn't certain he couldn't take on the opponent.

He wanted to see just how powerful a Half-Step Gang Qi Realm existence was.

Only after fighting a Half-Step Gang Qi Realm expert would he understand the gap between himself and a true Qi Dao Master.

Of course, if he truly encountered danger, he would choose to retreat.

After all, a gentleman's vengeance lasts not more than ten years.

"Ha! You overestimate yourself, do you not plan to escape? Do you think you can really contend with me? Even if you tried to escape, it would be in vain, today you won't escape my grasp," Tuoba Lie sneered, his lips curling with amusement, as he slowly approached Ye Chen.

As if Ye Chen's life and death were already entirely in his control.

He could squash him whenever he wanted.
