Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze could have immersed himself in that endless land of tenderness, enjoying everyone's embrace and love, but he did not do so.

He knew very well that indulging himself in it too much would only make him lose his direction and motivation to move forward.

However, fate did not seem to let this determined man off easily. Just as he was trying to break free from the gentle trap, a new crisis quietly came into his life.

This crisis is like a surging tide, sweeping in with unprecedented ferocity, and its difficulty is beyond imagination.

It was like a ferocious beast hiding in the dark, ready to strike. Its sharp eyes were like burning flames, fixed on him. At any moment, it could pounce on him like lightning and deal him a fatal blow.

Lin Ze's nerves were stretched to the limit. His eyes scanned every inch of space around him vigilantly like a hawk, not missing any movement, trying his best to find the root cause of the crisis.

At this moment, without any warning, he felt a powerful force like an overwhelming force pressing down on him.

In an instant, a ghostly black shadow suddenly appeared before his eyes like a ghost.

The black shadow was surrounded by a creepy, almost suffocating terrifying aura, like an extremely heavy mountain, weighing heavily on Lin Ze's soul.

He involuntarily took several steps back before he could barely steady himself.

However, just a moment later, Lin Ze forced himself to calm down, mustered up his courage, and shouted at the shadow, "Who are you? Why did you come to me?"

Facing Lin Ze's questioning, the black shadow sneered eerily, then slowly opened its mouth that seemed to be able to swallow all the light, and said in a low and threatening voice: "Hahahaha... I am the embodiment of the fear that has been hidden deep in your heart for a long time. Today I have come here specially to completely destroy your fragile faith!"

Hearing this, Lin Ze's heart trembled violently, but he immediately clenched his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and secretly warned himself in his heart: No matter what, I must not let fear take over and control my mind!

Then he took a deep breath, mobilized every bit of strength in his body, displayed his best skills, and rushed towards the black shadow without hesitation, thus starting a thrilling, life-and-death fight.

Lin Ze's attack was like an overwhelming forceful storm, each move was extremely fast and closely connected, as if to tear everything in front of him into pieces.

However, the black shadow was as agile as a ghost, and easily avoided all of Lin Ze's attacks with extraordinary speed and agility.

As time went by, Lin Ze gradually felt that his physical strength and internal energy were being consumed rapidly. His breathing became more and more rapid, and his movements began to slow down.

He knew in his heart that if he continued like this, he would be defeated sooner or later due to exhaustion.

Just when Lin Ze was extremely anxious, suddenly, his sharp eyes caught a tiny flaw on the black shadow.

This discovery lifted his spirits. Without hesitation, he used all his strength, gathered all his remaining internal energy in his palms, and attacked the flaw fiercely.

The black shadow obviously did not expect that Lin Ze could detect his weakness so quickly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

But it only took a moment before it came to its senses and regained its previous composure.

The black shadow took a deep breath, and a strong airflow instantly surged around its body. It began to gather all its strength, preparing to give Lin Ze the fatal final blow.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the whole space was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere...

Lin Ze's eyes widened, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets. He was completely focused, concentrating all his energy and attention on one point, ready to go all out to meet the fatal blow that was about to come and determine his life or death.

At that critical moment, two extremely powerful forces, like overwhelming mountains and seas, collided with each other with the force of thunder. Along with this earth-shattering and violent collision, the entire space seemed to be torn apart, and a deafening and earth-shattering roar burst out.

Lin Ze suddenly felt a surging, irresistible force sweeping towards him like a raging wave. His body was like a kite with its string cut off, completely out of control, and flew backwards rapidly. Finally, he slammed into an extremely hard wall, making a dull "bang" sound.

Under such a strong impact, Lin Ze suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. The bright red blood drew a shocking arc in the air, and then sprinkled on the ground in stars.

However, even after suffering such a heavy blow, Lin Ze had no intention of giving up. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, supported his shaky body with trembling hands, and stood up slowly with great difficulty. Then, he raised his sleeves and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, while his eyes still flashed with the scorching light of unwavering determination and never giving up.

"I absolutely cannot lose!" Lin Ze raised his head and chest, roared to the sky with his hair standing on end. This roar seemed to contain the endless anger and unwillingness in his heart, and seemed to announce his indomitable will to the world. Then, he flashed, like an arrow from a bow, and once again rushed towards the mysterious black shadow in front of him without hesitation. At this moment, he had already broken through the limit of what he could bear, and every step he took was full of determination and perseverance.

Lin Ze rushed straight towards the shadow like a burning meteor. His speed was so fast that he created a gust of wind that made the air around him whistle.

The black shadow was keenly aware of the powerful aura emanating from Lin Ze, but it showed no fear at all. Instead, it raised its head and arms high, as if it was on high alert, ready to meet Lin Ze's fierce attack at any time.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the entire space was filled with an extremely tense atmosphere.

Finally, at the critical moment, Lin Ze suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the power in his body surged out like a volcanic eruption, instantly gathering in his palms.
