The man gave a cold snort, didn't say anything, and suddenly lifted his right foot, stomping it hard on the ground!

"Bang!"

Under the man's foot, it seemed as if there was hidden dynamite. When he stomped on the ground, the ground around his right foot immediately shattered.

Then the man's right hand seemed to slowly lift up, and then swiftly swung toward Ming Yue!

"Billowing Wave Palm!"

A palm strike was delivered, as if on a calm sea, suddenly sending a terrifying wave crashing forward, rushing toward Ming Yue with a frightening momentum. Meanwhile, the terrifying Inner Strength passed through, destroying the surrounding air, causing a crackling noise in mid-air!

Upon seeing this, Ming Yue's face instantly filled with seriousness. He could feel the terror of the palm strike unleashed by the man in front of him!

The next moment, Ming Yue swiftly raised his hands, calmly and unhurriedly drawing a circle in mid-air, appearing just like Taiji, and it floated directly in front of him.

Subsequently, Ming Yue swiftly thrust out his hands!

As Ming Yue just thrust out his hands, a deafening noise immediately erupted around, as a terrifying blast wave swept outward, making everything chaotic as if struck by a tornado!

The man, seeing Ming Yue easily blocking his strike, didn't show much surprise on his face, looking rather composed.

After all, Ming Yue had once been the number one in Wudang, and having vanished for so many years, his strength was far beyond the past. If he couldn't even block this strike, then the man would doubt if the person in front of him was really Ming Yue, as if Ming Yue had been living like a dog all these years?

Then, without any hesitation, the man stomped on the spot, leaping directly into mid-air, his right leg suddenly lifted, chopping down towards Ming Yue with the force of Mount Tai.

Upon seeing this, Ming Yue's expression slightly changed. He immediately performed a Taiji initial stance, then hurriedly deflected the man's leg aside with the strategy of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds!

But in the next moment, the man's figure suddenly twirled and once again charged towards Ming Yue.

This time, the man was like a top, tilted completely at a forty-five-degree angle, swiftly coming at Ming Yue.

In a blink, the man was like a crawling venomous snake, instantly in front of Ming Yue, both hands like iron claws, crazily grabbing towards the lower three sections of Ming Yue.

Upon seeing this, Ming Yue's expression slightly changed, and then his whole body instinctively retreated quickly.

The man's right hand struck out, the air in front immediately shattered, and the terrifying energy hit the ground, leaving marks like a cat or dog had scratched it from a distance.

But then, the man's back seemed to be pulled by a rope, suddenly lifting off from the ground again, and at the same time, his right leg swept out swiftly with the momentum of thunder!

This leg was fast and fierce, making Ming Yue instinctively raise his hands to block in front of his chest!

"Bang!"

The leg landed heavily on Ming Yue's arm, with terrifying force erupting fully, making Ming Yue's body uncontrollably retreat, and at the same time, his internal organs churn violently!

Though Ming Yue extended his arms in time to block the man's attack, the residual force was already too much to bear, especially causing his arms to tremble uncontrollably at this moment.

After the man kicked Ming Yue away, he didn't seize the chance to strike again, but instead, his eyes were sharp as knives, staring fixedly at Ming Yue!

"Ming Yue, I told you, you can't stop me!" the man said sinisterly. "Even though you've stepped into the Void Path, you're still no match for me. There's still a chasm between us."

The man was right; even in the Void Path, there are early, middle, and late stages!

And Ming Yue had only just stepped into the Void Path, quite different from the man in front of him!

Ming Yue didn't speak, but his face was cold and grave as he stared intently at the man in front of him!

"If I don't want to die, you can't kill me!" Ming Yue said firmly.

The man didn't deny Ming Yue's words; at the Void Path level, if someone doesn't want to die and intends to escape, it might be possible to retain them forcefully, but it would definitely come at a serious price!

And this man might not be willing to pay the high price to kill Ming Yue, given that his target, his aim, is the position currently occupied by the king! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"I can't kill you, but I can kill everyone in this orphanage!" the man said heavily. "They would all die because of you!"

Ming Yue just wanted to say something, when suddenly a melodious and pleasant sound of a flute came from mid-air!

Upon hearing this sudden sound of the flute, both Ming Yue and the man's expressions turned grim.

"Who?"

The next moment, a man in a black robe slowly descended from mid-air, but the jade flute remained at his mouth, gently playing!

However, just as the man was about to land on the ground, the sound of the flute suddenly changed, becoming vigorous, like a tide, like a torrent, and at the same time, the sound of the flute became extremely piercing, like noise, as if intending to penetrate one's eardrums, causing one to bleed to death from all orifices.

Upon hearing this sound of the flute, the man's face changed dramatically, showing a painful expression.

Who is this person? He could use the sound of the flute to project his Inner Strength, and this sonic attack was something he could not resist!

The next moment, the man instinctively covered his ears with both hands.

But this sound of the flute seemed to penetrate everything in the world, and even with his ears covered, it had no effect, still reaching his ears.

"Aooo!"

The man immediately made a thunderous sound from his mouth, terrifying like a tiger's roar, sweeping out in all directions, disrupting the sound of the flute!

At this moment, the man removed the jade flute from his mouth, placed his right hand behind him, and gracefully descended from mid-air.

The man also wore a mask, but it only covered half of his face, and the mask was silver-white and looked rather sinister!

"Do you really think Ming Yue can't recognize you? Don't I know you?" the man said slowly after landing: "Ke Qinghong!"

Upon hearing this, Ke Qinghong's face beneath the mask changed dramatically: "You... Who exactly are you?"

"Didn't you guess before?" the man said lightly. "Now, I give you the answer; you guessed right!"

Upon hearing this, Ke Qinghong's pupils instantly contracted, and a look of fear slowly appeared in his eyes!
