Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Fear surged into Lin Ze's heart like a tide, drowning him in an instant. He stared with his eyes wide open, sweat dripping down his forehead, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that the sect was really attacked fiercely by that mysterious man and his accomplices? Once this thought emerged, it was like a thorn in his flesh, lingering and making his heart heavier.

Lin Ze was seen tightly gripping the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his finger joints turned slightly white because he was holding on too tightly.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and prepare himself for the great danger that might come at any time.

At this moment, he knew that he had a heavy responsibility and must stand up bravely to protect the safety of the sect and his fellow disciples.

However, at this moment, a low and sinister laugh suddenly echoed in the sect.

"Lin Ze, you are still one step too late after all..." The mysterious man's voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying endless ridicule and mockery.

Hearing this voice, Lin Ze was shocked and anger burned in his eyes.

He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from. Then he took a big step without hesitation and rushed forward angrily like an arrow.

As Lin Ze moved quickly, the surrounding air seemed to be stirred by the strong wind he brought, making bursts of whistling sounds.

This new decisive battle has already begun, but this time, can Lin Ze successfully uncover the shocking truth hidden behind the mysterious man and successfully protect his beloved sect? Everything is unknown, and we can only wait for time to reveal the answer.

Lin Ze's eyes widened, and he let out a deafening roar. The Qi in his body began to circulate rapidly like a surging river. He shook his body, exerted his unique Qinggong skills with all his strength, and shot towards the mysterious man in front of him like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ze had already rushed to the mysterious man. However, facing the aggressive Lin Ze, the mysterious man was calm and composed. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a disdainful smile, and then his body flashed lightly, and he easily dodged Lin Ze's thundering attack like a ghost.

Seeing that his attack missed, Lin Ze was not discouraged and immediately attacked again. He shook his wrist, and the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light. The sword energy crisscrossed and formed an airtight sword net, covering the mysterious man. This sword technique was extremely sharp and powerful, but the mysterious man's figure was erratic, as if he had merged with the surrounding environment, and he could easily resolve all of Lin Ze's attacks.

The mysterious man sneered and said sarcastically: "Hmph! With your little ability, you still think you can compete with me? It's just a foolish dream!" Hearing this, Lin Ze remained silent, but his eyes became more determined, and the sword in his hand was swung more powerfully and fiercely. Every move and every style contained endless anger and determination.

For a while, the two of them fought back and forth, launching a thrilling and fierce confrontation. Amidst the flashing swords and shadows, only the sound of metal colliding could be heard. Just when the two sides were fighting hard, the mysterious man suddenly changed his moves and used an extremely strange and tricky technique. Lin Ze was not careful and failed to detect the opponent's intention in time, and was hit hard in the chest by the mysterious man's palm power.

In an instant, Lin Ze felt a surge of overwhelming force rushing into his body, and his internal organs seemed to be shattered. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, staggered back a few steps, and finally fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, the mysterious man showed a ferocious smile on his face, and walked slowly towards the fallen Lin Ze. As he approached, a chilling murderous intent emanated from him, which was creepy.

And at this critical moment, a dazzling light suddenly fell from the sky, like lightning breaking through the night sky, shining directly on the mysterious man.

The mysterious man was caught off guard, and the sudden strong light pierced his eyes, causing him to scream. Then, his whole body began to tremble violently, and under the illumination of the light, it gradually turned into a ball of billowing black smoke, which instantly disappeared without a trace.

Lin Ze endured the pain and struggled to stand up from the ground. He looked at the direction where the mysterious man disappeared, his heart full of doubts and puzzlement. What was the origin of this mysterious man? Why did he have such powerful martial arts? And what about the strong light that just fell from the sky? Countless questions surged in his mind, causing Lin Ze to fall into deep contemplation.

Lin Ze was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his cheeks, soaking his hair on his forehead.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the place where the mysterious man disappeared in front of him, as if he could see through the void to see where the other person was going.

At this moment, Lin Ze knew very well that the thrilling battle just now was far from over.

Although the sudden mysterious light dispersed the enemies, it was only a brief truce.

Thinking of this, a strong sense of mission surged in his heart, driving him to uncover the huge mystery hidden behind the darkness.

Lin Ze gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his body, and moved his feet with difficulty.

Every step he took felt like millions of steel needles piercing his legs at the same time, causing unbearable pain.

But he did not stop moving forward. Instead, with his strong willpower, he expanded the search range inch by inch.

It wasn't long before Lin Ze's sharp eyes caught some unusual signs.

Strange traces appeared on the ground. These traces were crooked and looming, and looked like the marks left by being dragged by some mysterious force.

Lin Ze squatted down and carefully observed these traces, thinking to himself: "Could this be the key clue to the truth?"

With a heart full of doubts and expectations, Lin Ze walked along these mysterious marks.

After an unknown amount of time, an ancient relic gradually appeared in his sight.

This relic is like a sleeping giant, crawling quietly on the ground, exuding a heart-pounding mysterious atmosphere.

Looking at the unknown ruins in front of him, Lin Ze took a deep breath, calmed himself, then took cautious steps and slowly stepped in.

As soon as you enter the ruins, a cold wind blows towards you, mixed with the smell of decay, which makes people feel creepy.

Lin Ze looked around vigilantly, and saw in the dim light that the walls were covered with moss and the ground was covered with thick dust.

Deep in the ruins, low roars could be faintly heard, as if something terrible was lurking there.
