Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

At this moment, Lin Ze's originally dull eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light, as dazzling as stars in the dark.

He was staring closely at the mysterious figure shrouded in shadows and whose identity was unknown not far ahead, concentrating on finding the best time to make his move.

Finally, hard work pays off. After a short and tense wait, Lin Ze keenly captured a fleeting opportunity.

Without any hesitation, he shouted loudly, pushed the ground hard with his legs, and rushed forward like an arrow.

At the same time, the long sword in his hand was raised high with the movement of his body, and with an indomitable momentum, he stabbed straight at the vital parts of the mysterious man!

However, what happened next surprised Lin Ze.

It turned out that the mysterious man seemed to have anticipated his move. Facing this fierce and fierce attack, the other party seemed unusually calm and composed.

The mysterious man slightly tilted his body and moved his feet lightly, and with a seemingly simple yet exquisite movement, he easily avoided Lin Ze's fatal blow.

Before Lin Ze could recover from his shock, the mysterious man had already launched a counterattack.

His wrist shook slightly, and the sword in his hand turned, turning into a cold silver light, and he swung it towards Lin Ze's arm quickly.

In an instant, the air seemed to be filled with a heart-pounding chill.

Lin Ze secretly thought that something was wrong. Realizing the critical situation, he did not dare to delay for a moment. He quickly stomped his feet on the ground and quickly retreated backwards.

It's a pity that even though his reaction speed was extremely fast, it was still a little slower than the mysterious man's attack.

Accompanied by a sharp "swish" sound, Lin Ze's arm was ruthlessly cut by the sharp sword energy emitted by the long sword in the mysterious man's hand, and his skin was immediately torn apart, and a shocking long wound suddenly appeared.

The bright red blood gushed out like a flood, instantly staining his sleeves red.

The intense pain caused Lin Ze to frown slightly involuntarily, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his handsome face.

At this moment, he truly felt that the mysterious opponent he encountered this time was unfathomable in strength and was definitely an unprecedented strong opponent!

Lin Ze endured the severe pain and covered his injured left arm with his right hand. He stared at the mysterious man in front of him with wide eyes, secretly marveling at his amazing skills.

Seeing this, the mysterious man raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. He approached Lin Ze step by step, the long sword in his hand flashing a cold light.

Lin Ze gritted his teeth, knowing that he could not retreat and had to find a way to deal with this powerful enemy. He concentrated his energy and used his inner strength to try to stop the flow of blood while preparing for the next round of attack from the mysterious man.

At this critical moment, Lin Ze's eagle-like sharp eyes suddenly noticed that there was a subtle abnormality in the mysterious man's steps.

This subtle change may be insignificant to ordinary people, but Lin Ze, who has extremely high insight and combat intuition, keenly captured this key detail.

In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through his mind, and finally a clear conclusion emerged - he instantly understood the other party's intention to launch an attack!

In a flash, Lin Ze dodged to the side with lightning speed, his movements smooth as flowing water, as if he had rehearsed it thousands of times.

The mysterious man's fierce attack brushed past the corner of Lin Ze's clothes, bringing up a gust of wind.

However, Lin Ze was not satisfied with just dodging the attack. He seized the opportunity, exerted all his strength, and kicked straight into the mysterious man's chest like a cannonball.

The kick hit the target solidly. The mysterious man had never expected Lin Ze to counterattack so swiftly and was caught off guard.

The huge impact force caused him to lose his balance. He staggered back several steps before he could barely steady himself.

But how could Lin Ze miss this rare opportunity at this moment?

He took advantage of the situation like a tiger descending from a mountain, his fists clenched, and pounced on the mysterious man with a whistling sound.

For a moment, fist shadows crossed each other, and a thrilling, exciting and fierce close combat broke out between the two.

Lin Ze's attack was like a violent storm. Each move contained tremendous force. The fierce wind from his fists whistled past, making the surrounding air seem to be torn apart.

The mysterious man kept retreating, staggering, looking very embarrassed. He could only wave his arms desperately, struggling to resist Lin Ze's wave after wave of fierce attacks.

At this moment, Lin Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, and he keenly caught a flaw in the mysterious man's defense.

He shouted without hesitation, and all the strength of his body instantly gathered on his right arm, then he used all his strength to punch out.

The punch was extremely fast, like lightning across the night sky, and it went straight towards the mysterious man's abdomen.

There was only a loud "bang" sound, and the mysterious man had no time to react before he was hit hard by the punch.

He groaned, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. He flew several meters before falling heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing the mysterious man fall to the ground, Lin Ze did not hesitate at all and immediately rushed over like a gust of wind, ready to give the opponent a fatal final blow.

However, just as he was about to approach the mysterious man, the mysterious man who was lying on the ground suddenly raised one hand and a strange and creepy smile appeared on his face.

Lin Ze was suddenly startled, and a strong ominous premonition surged into his heart like a tide.

He subconsciously stopped and watched the mysterious man's every move vigilantly.

The mysterious man slowly opened his palm, and an inky black bead appeared in his palm.

The bead exuded a frightening dark aura, as if it contained endless evil and danger.

The mysterious man smiled coldly, then squeezed it hard, and the black bead shattered instantly.

In an instant, a dark aura that was so thick that it was almost indissoluble gushed out from the broken beads and spread to the surroundings at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, the dark aura completely enveloped the entire space, making people feel as if they were in an endless dark abyss.

Lin Ze was startled by this sudden change and tried to retreat, but the dark aura followed him like a shadow and quickly surrounded him.
