The guard on the fourth floor was a strange-looking old man. With greyish-white hair. He had longer hands than normal people. He looked like an ape with hands that dropped down to the knees. In addition, his hands had distinctive joints, resembling sculptures.
Meng Qi sensed that he was a Nine Acupores master who used genuine Qi as his outside Protective Upstanding Qi. However, it was easy to perceive the power of his Protective Upstanding Qi, and there were flaws in his genuine Qi circulation. Besides that, he concentrated all of his strength in his hands, so Meng Qi was keenly aware of his strengths and weaknesses. He was less powerful than Xiao Yue, and he seemed to have spent years opening the Nine Acupores.
"Defeat me to go upstairs." The old man announced. He did not change his attitude toward Meng Qi, who had already passed four floors.
Meng Qi stretched out the sheathed Heaven Inflicted Pain knife. "Please make your movement."
