Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Before long, they arrived at a vast and open area. Looking ahead, they saw a group of figures in black robes gathered in the open space not far ahead, surrounding a mysterious formation.

The bodies of these black-robed men were looming in the hazy night, as if they had merged into the darkness, making it difficult to see their true appearance.

Such a scene made the whole scene filled with a creepy and terrifying atmosphere.

Su Yao lowered her voice carefully, leaned close to Lin Ze beside her, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Looking at this situation, these black-robed people are probably holding an extremely evil ritual. We must not watch their conspiracy succeed. We must find a way to stop them no matter what!"

Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with determination and courage, and then he nodded heavily, expressing his agreement and support for what Su Yao said.

Then, the two of them held their breath and focused their minds in tacit understanding, hiding quietly in the dark, staring intently at every subtle movement of the group of people in black robes, concentrating on finding the most appropriate time to attack, in the hope of successfully stopping the evil act that was about to happen.

At this moment, a cold blue light appeared in the formation, and a man in a black robe raised his hands and muttered something. As he chanted, the air around him seemed to solidify, and it was so oppressive that it made people breathless.

After observing for a while, Lin Ze found that the defense of one corner of the formation was slightly weaker. He winked at Su Yao, indicating that they should break through from there. Su Yao understood, and the two of them moved towards the target position silently.

When approaching the edge of the formation, Lin Ze took the lead in launching an attack, and a stream of spiritual power turned into a sharp blade and rushed towards the black-robed crowd. The black-robed people were obviously startled and immediately sent several people to resist. Su Yao took the opportunity to release a talisman, which instantly turned into a strong light to interfere with everyone's vision.

In the midst of the chaos, Lin Ze rushed into the formation without hesitation, as fast as lightning. His goal was clear: to destroy the core of the formation hidden deep inside. However, the moment he stepped into the formation, he felt an indescribable force like an invisible giant hand, pulling him hard.

The power was so terrifying that it seemed to pull his soul out of his body. Lin Ze was shocked, but he did not retreat. Instead, he gritted his teeth and fought hard against the power.

At this moment, Su Yao, who had been anxiously watching outside, saw this scene, and her heart was in her throat. She did not hesitate at all, regardless of her own safety, and resolutely rushed into the formation. She stretched out her hands and tightly grasped Lin Ze's arm, trying to help him share some of the pressure.

The two worked together to resist the terrible suction. At the same time, Lin Ze quickly used his treasured magic weapon. The magic weapon flashed with dazzling light and contained endless power. Lin Ze held the magic weapon tightly with both hands and used all his strength to smash it hard at the huge stone pillar in the center of the formation.

With a loud bang that shook the earth, the stone pillar began to tremble violently, and shocking cracks appeared on its surface. The bright light that originally enveloped the entire formation suddenly weakened and became dim. The guys who were presiding over the black-robed man's ceremony were stunned by this sudden change, and their ceremony was forced to be interrupted.

These black-robed men were furious and surrounded Lin Ze and Su Yao with angry faces. They were all spitting fire in their eyes, wishing to immediately cut these two uninvited guests who dared to disrupt their plan into pieces.

Lin Ze protected Su Yao behind him and looked warily at the black-robed people who were surrounding him. "Do you think you can stop us like this?" Lin Ze sneered.

The leader of the black-robed men said sinisterly, "Boy, you ruined my plan. Today is the day you die." As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and a dark black light shot towards Lin Ze. Lin Ze quickly dodged to the side, and at the same time, he quickly made hand gestures with both hands, controlling the magic weapon in his hand to attack forward. Under the urging of his magic power, the magic weapon burst into a dazzling light and emitted a low and powerful humming sound, as if proclaiming its powerful power.

Su Yao, who was standing not far behind, took advantage of Lin Ze's distraction to quietly cast a mysterious spell. As she waved her hands, soft rays of light slowly seeped out from her fingertips, like a nimble little snake, silently drilling into the ground. It turned out that this seemingly weak light was the key to a small trap she had carefully arranged.

At this time, the enemies in black robes and with ferocious faces were gradually approaching Lin Ze and Su Yao step by step. However, they did not know that they had stepped into the trap set by Su Yao.

Su Yao suddenly shouted, "Get up!" In an instant, a dazzling halo suddenly rose from the originally calm ground. This halo was like an invisible cage, expanding at a very fast speed, instantly trapping most of the black-robed people in it. These trapped black-robed people were caught off guard and panicked. The originally tight and orderly attack formation became chaotic at this moment.

The remaining few black-robed men who were not completely trapped were horrified when they saw this scene. Their eyes showed fear and panic, and they waved their weapons randomly, and their attacks lost their original rules.

Lin Ze seized this rare opportunity and used the amazing magic weapon without hesitation. He chanted something and continuously poured all his magic power into the magic weapon. As he waved it vigorously, the magic weapon turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the black-robed leader in the center of the trap like lightning.

The black-robed leader felt a sharp breath coming towards him, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but it was too late to dodge at this moment. There was a loud "bang" and the magic weapon hit his chest heavily. The black-robed leader groaned, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

After the successful attack, Lin Ze did not dare to delay for a moment. He turned around, grabbed Su Yao's hand and said, "Hurry up, this place is about to collapse." After that, the two of them used the art of lightening their bodies together and rushed out of the formation like an arrow.

Behind them, there were constant roars from the black-robed man and the huge roars from the collapse of the formation. The whole scene was in chaos, with flying dust and smoke. But Lin Ze and Su Yao did not look back, but just ran desperately until they were completely away from this dangerous place.
