The moment my qi was about to reach the young man, it got sliced clean off, like something had cut right through it!
My expression shifted instantly. I quickly looked at the old man, who was staring right back at me.
A chilly grin crossed the old man's face, his gaze even icier.
"This old guy's definitely a master," I thought.
Having my qi severed like that - this was a first for me!
This man's power was probably way beyond what I'd expected!
