Hua Bushi said: "Fifth brother must have stood here to confront the old devil. These footprints were left when he jumped up to attack. Looking at the direction of the footprints, the opposite side must be where the old devil is."

He took a few steps and searched around, but could not find any traces on the bluestone floor. The tower had not been cleaned for many years, and there was a lot of dust accumulated. If someone stepped on it, no matter how high the Qing Gong was, there would still be footprints.

.

Meng Qingshan came to Hua Bushi and said, "I can't see any traces around here, it's a bit strange."

Hua Bushi said: "This is not surprising. The old demon of no life was not standing on the ground."

Meng Qingshan said: "If he doesn't stand on the ground, how can he still fly in the air?"

Hua Bushi said: "There is no one in this world who can fly in the air. I guess he must have used martial arts like 'gecko swimming on the wall' to hang on the roof."

"Gecko Wall Wandering" is a relatively special light skill. People who are good at this skill can use their fingers or iron claws to grasp the corners or gaps of walls and can move freely on vertical walls. This kind of light skill does not train leg strength.

, but the grasping strength of the fingers and the internal strength of lifting the Qi and lightening the body, which are much more difficult to practice than ordinary Qing Gong. Many people in the world have practiced "gecko swimming on the wall" in order to fly over the eaves and walls, but none of them are truly proficient in it.

Several people.

The so-called roof in this stone tower is actually the original floor, which is also paved with bluestone. There are many gaps and protruding stones on it. However, it is not easy to climb on it in the air. You must be extremely proficient in "gecko".

Only masters of "wall swimming" can do it.

Meng Qingshan said: "Yes, it is indeed possible. Could it be that the old devil climbed on top and wanted to fly in the air and sneak attack the fifth brother?"

Hua Bushi said: "That's not true. The fifth brother was in a dangerous place, how could he not take precautions? Even if the old devil wanted to sneak attack, he would not be able to take advantage. He climbed on the roof just to take advantage of the location, because the most dangerous place on the ground was

The best position is where Fifth Brother is standing. If the old devil doesn't want to suffer a loss, he can only climb on the roof. It seems that he is very afraid of Fifth Brother!"

Meng Qingshan looked around and immediately understood the meaning of Hua Bushi's words.

When masters are competing, the terrain they stand on is very important. Especially those who have reached the ultimate level of martial arts, such as Ma Wuhua and Wusheng Laomo, will naturally try their best to seize advantageous terrain during a duel in order to gain an advantage. Although this is

It is a very small detail, but sometimes it is enough to determine the outcome.

This tower is not completely vertical and upside down, but has a slight tilt. The place where Ma Wuhua left his footprints is the highest point on the ground in this layer of the tower. If the old demon Wusheng is also standing on the ground, no matter what

No matter where he stood, the terrain was not good for him. Therefore, he climbed to a higher roof to gain advantage.

Of course this requires extremely strong martial arts skills.

Meng Qingshan even thought that it was precisely because the Wusheng Old Demon had climbed onto the roof and occupied the high point that Ma Wuhua had no choice but to leap up and attack, leaving those footprints on the ground.

Just from the situation in the tower on this floor, Ma Wuhua and Wu Sheng Lao Mo took advantage of each other during the confrontation. It can be seen that the two people's scheming and martial arts are extremely clever. They are on par with each other, and they are afraid of each other.

Reluctant to suffer even a little loss.

At this time, all I could hear was Master Huo Xiang saying: "Second Master, Mr. Hua, there is a passage here, I think it leads to the second floor of this tower."

Meng Qingshan said: "There are no other signs of fighting on this floor. The gang leader and the old devil think they went to the second floor."

Hua Bushi said: "The second brother is right. The old devil climbed on the roof. Although he occupied a higher ground, it was inconvenient to take action. Therefore, the fifth brother pounced in the air. He must not have wanted to fight and retreated directly to the second floor. We also

Follow!"

The second floor of ordinary stone pagodas is above the first floor, but this "Pagoda of Longevity and Longevity" hangs upside down, with the second floor below. The stone steps leading to the second floor are also upside down, not so much a passage.

, more like a downward hole. This upside-down world seems very weird.

Everyone climbed down carefully along the hole and reached the second floor of the stone tower.

The space on the second floor is slightly narrower than the first floor, with a radius of six feet. There are no footprints on the bluestone floor, but it is covered with scratches, at least dozens of them, criss-crossing like a mesh.

"These marks appear to have been cut with sharp weapons, and must have been caused by the devil using weapons to fight against Fifth Brother." Meng Qingshan said.

Hua Bushi said: "These scratches were all made by sharp swords. The sword that fell over there must be the weapon used by the old demon Wu Sheng."

Following what Hua Bushi pointed, everyone saw that there was indeed a sword beside the wall. A member of the gang stepped forward to pick it up and handed it to Meng Qingshan.

Meng Qingshan received it in his hand and saw that the sword was less than two feet long, shorter than an ordinary sword. The blade was shining with cold light, and it was a rare sharp weapon. However, the sword body was bent into an arc, as if

It was bent by great force.

Hua Bushi said: "This sword can no longer be used, so Old Demon Wu Sheng threw it away. It seems that it was destroyed by Fifth Brother's heavy punch."

Meng Qingshan threw away the broken sword and said: "The demon's weapon was destroyed, so he must have been at a disadvantage and escaped to the lower level. Let's follow him!"

In the corner of the second floor, there is also a downward hole, which leads to the third floor of the tower. People do not stop and climb down along the hole.

The third floor of the stone tower is also covered with dense scratches, and the marks are deeper, wider, and denser than the previous floor. The deepest one is more than half a foot, almost scratching through the bluestone wall!

Meng Qingshan quickly walked to the center of the room and picked up a four-foot-long machete from the ground.

This machete was originally more than four feet long, and the handle alone was two feet long. But now only half of the blade is left, and the broken part is like a jagged shape. It was obviously broken by an extremely violent technique. Ma Wuhua

A pair of iron fists roamed the world and never used weapons, so this sword must have been wielded by the old demon Wusheng.

Meng Qingshan said: "The devil had a sword destroyed on the upper level, but another one was broken here. Could it be that he carries many weapons with him?"

Hua Bushi said: "It is impossible for him to carry such a thick and long weapon with him. According to my guess, he probably hid the weapon in the tower beforehand, and then retrieved it for use after retreating here."

Meng Qingshan nodded and said: "That's right, I guess that's the case."

It can be seen from the scratches everywhere that the fight between Ma Wuhua and Wusheng Laomo here was much more intense than on the second floor. And from the situation where Wusheng Laomo hid weapons in the tower in advance

, also shows that this person is very cunning and extremely difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Hua Bushi said: "Fifth brother is still down there, let's go down quickly!"

The fourth floor of the stone tower was a little narrower than the first three floors, only about five feet wide. Everyone climbed down the hole and entered here, but there were still no figures of Ma Wuhua and Wu Sheng Lao Mo. There were still people on the stone wall and the bluestone floor.

There are many potholes of different sizes, as if they were struck by blunt objects.

At a glance, everyone could guess that these potholes were caused by another weapon of the old demon Wusheng. Sure enough, after searching for a while, they found a broken fine iron rod in the corner.

Meng Qingshan said: "Since the devil has already made arrangements, I wonder if he will set up an ambush on the lower floors to make Fifth Brother suffer?"

Hua Bushi pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, he shouldn't be able to."

Meng Qingshan said: "Why not? People in the devil's path are insidious and despicable. What can't they do?"

Hua Bushi said: "The space in this tower is not big, so it is difficult to ambush many people. Moreover, Fifth Brother's boxing skills are best at using one enemy to defeat many. When faced with adversity, the power becomes stronger. That Wusheng Old Demon is very cunning.

, it seems that he has known this for a long time, so he placed a weapon in each floor of the tower, allowing Fifth Brother to break them one by one, gaining the upper hand all the way, and in this way, Fifth Brother's energy was consumed."

Meng Qingshan asked: "Did the devil deliberately let Fifth Brother destroy those weapons?"

Hua Bushi said: "That's exactly it."

Meng Qingshan frowned and said: "That devil has such a scheme, it is really scary!"

In ancient times, there is an allusion to the story of Prince Chong'er who retreated and defeated the general of Chu State to become a minister. The old demon Wusheng also used the strategy of retreating to advance. He abandoned several weapons one after another and seemed to be retreating again and again.

In fact, he was hiding murderous intentions and looking for opportunities to counterattack and win. Hua Bushi's face was solemn, and he was even more worried.

Everyone entered the fifth floor of the stone tower and saw a ray of white light shining on the bluestone floor.

This stone tower has no doors or windows, and is surrounded by stone walls. It was originally pitch black and no light could penetrate. When everyone looked carefully, they discovered that a large hole with a diameter of four to five feet had been punched in the wall of the tower.

The moonlight came straight in and shone into the tower.

There are many cave-ins on the stone walls on all sides, as if they were hit by some kind of giant weapon.

Everyone looked around, but did not find any damaged weapons in the tower on this floor. However, they suddenly heard a member of the gang shouting: "Second Master, please look, there is blood here!"

Meng Qingshan stepped forward quickly, and with the moonlight coming in from outside the tower, he saw a pool of red blood on the bluestone floor, which had not yet completely dried up.

"Is it possible that Fifth Brother was injured?" His voice was already trembling.

Hua Bushi's voice was still very steady as he said, "No, this is the blood of the old demon Wusheng."

He didn't wait for Meng Qingshan to ask again, then explained: "You see, this location is right opposite the big hole in the wall. The old demon Wusheng must have thrown the weapon in his hand after being hit by the fifth brother, and then it hit the wall."

After smashing the hole, the weapon also flew out of the tower, so it could not be found in this tower. From the collapse of the wall, it can be seen that the weapon he used must be a giant hammer."

Meng Qingshan looked at the big hole in the wall and said, "That's true! Since the devil was injured by Fifth Brother, he shouldn't be able to escape far. Let's get to the next floor!"

Hua Bushi claimed so, but the solemn expression on his face did not diminish at all. Although what he just said was true, he did not express all the speculations in his heart.

Hua Bushi also guessed that Ma Wuhua was able to injure the old demon because he suddenly used the "Hundred Victory Fist". And he used the "Hundred Victory Fist" from the injured meridian, which means that Ma Wuhua encountered
Chapter completed!
