Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Chapter 396 The Sun Shines on Them

Along the way, the sunshine shone on them, reflecting the relieved and hopeful smiles on everyone's face.

However, on the way back, Lin Ze always felt that something was amiss. Although the old leader came to rescue, why did he appear at this time instead of being separated earlier or later? And where did the news of the so-called traitor come from? The more Lin Ze thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

When the team slowly moved to the quiet and deep valley, Lin Ze's sharp eyes noticed that the surrounding environment seemed a little strange. He quietly pulled the confidant beside him and whispered a few important instructions to him in a low voice. The confidant nodded in understanding, indicating that he understood the mission and then quietly took action. It seemed that nothing had happened, but in fact, he had begun to pay full attention to the slightest movement around him.

Just when everyone was immersed in the tranquility of the valley, suddenly, the sound of bowstrings could be heard from the mountains on both sides, followed by a dense rain of arrows like locusts. In an instant, the whole team fell into panic. However, what was unexpected was that the respected old leader had a very strange smile on his face.

"As I expected, there is a trick here!" Seeing this, Lin Ze reacted instantly, his eyes widened with anger, and he roared. At the same time, he drew out the sword at his waist without hesitation, and flashed in front of everyone to protect them. Seeing this, the confidant also moved quickly and immediately began to command everyone to launch a counterattack in an orderly manner.

As the situation gradually became clear, the truth finally surfaced - it turned out that all of this was a huge conspiracy carefully planned by the once respected old leader. He had long since abandoned the organization and his former partners, and this time, under the guise of returning, he actually intended to wipe out the remaining people who were still loyal to the organization.

Faced with such a despicable and shameless act, Lin Ze's heart was burning with anger. He stared at the old leader with his eyes and roared with gritted teeth: "I never thought that we would trust you so much, but in the end you would do such a treacherous thing!" Upon hearing this, the old leader not only showed no regrets, but also smiled coldly and responded contemptuously: "Humph, the so-called one who knows the times is a hero. Now you people are no longer of any value that can be used."

However, the old leader who thought he had won the battle obviously underestimated the firm determination and tenacious fighting spirit of Lin Ze and his other companions. After a thrilling and fierce battle of life and death, Lin Ze successfully found a perfect opportunity to attack with his extraordinary skills and wit. He suddenly swung his sword and stabbed the old leader like lightning. The old leader was unable to dodge and was hit hard by the sword, seriously injured. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the old leader had to lead the remaining men to flee the scene in a panic, leaving behind a mess and embarrassment along the way.

Looking at the old leader's fleeing back, Lin Ze tightly grasped the blood-stained sword in his hand and secretly vowed: Today's revenge must be avenged, and this traitor must be completely eliminated from the world to uphold justice!

Lin Ze knew that the old leader would not give up and would definitely come back, so he began to gather the remaining companions to discuss countermeasures.

"We must take the initiative to find his lair, otherwise we will never be able to rest in peace." Lin Ze said with a firm look. Everyone nodded in agreement.

After gathering information from many sources and overcoming many difficulties, Lin Ze and his companions finally located the hiding place of the old leader. It was an ancient castle hidden in the mountains, surrounded by various traps.

But Lin Ze was not afraid, and led everyone to move towards the castle carefully. When they approached the castle, the enemy also discovered them, and the battle broke out instantly.

Lin Ze stared at the front firmly, and his figure shuttled through the enemy formation like a ghost. He held a sharp blade and chopped left and right with extremely sharp movements. However, the enemy was not an ordinary person either. They cooperated closely and launched a continuous fierce attack, trying to stop Lin Ze's progress.

Lin Ze flexibly moved left and right, skillfully avoiding the enemy's fierce attacks. He had only one goal in mind - to reach the old leader as soon as possible and completely eradicate this cancer. Sweat slid down his forehead, but he was unaware of it and sprinted towards his destination with full concentration.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the old leader and victory was in sight, suddenly, a cold arrow came from the dark. Lin Ze's heart tightened, and with the sharp reaction he had trained for many years, he quickly dodged to the side. Unfortunately, because he was too focused on avoiding the hidden arrow, he was careless for a moment and accidentally stepped into a very hidden trap.

With a "thump", Lin Ze fell into the trap. The trap was full of sharp stakes and spikes, and if he was not careful, he would be pierced. At this time, Lin Ze was in a desperate situation and his life was in danger.

At this critical moment, his companions arrived in time like a god. They worked together to slowly pull Lin Ze out of the trap with a rope. Lin Ze, who regained his freedom, did not have time to catch his breath, and continued to pounce on the old leader with his companions.

Finally, amidst the clamor of shouts and the harsh sounds of metal colliding, a thrilling life-and-death contest came to an end. Lin Ze shuttled between the enemy formations like a ghost, and every swing of his sword brought a sharp gust of wind, forcing his opponents to retreat again and again.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, Lin Ze's eyes suddenly flashed, and he instantly locked onto the enemy's weakness like a cheetah hunting its prey. He suddenly made a mistake in his steps, and rushed forward at an incredible speed, with the sharp blade in his hand drawing a deadly arc in the air.

In an instant, time seemed to freeze. Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Ze and the old leader. At this critical moment, the sharp blade in Lin Ze's hand pierced straight into the old leader's chest without any hindrance!

With a dull thud, the old leader's tall body fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. The originally noisy and chaotic battlefield instantly fell into a dead silence, followed by deafening cheers and applause that surged like a tide, resounding throughout the sky.

People rushed to Lin Ze frantically, their faces filled with excitement and admiration. At this moment, Lin Ze had become an irreplaceable hero in everyone's heart. He was surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd, like a star surrounded by a moon.

Facing the excited people around him, Lin Ze slowly raised his head, and a gratified smile gradually appeared on his blood-stained but still resolute face. After experiencing countless tests of life and death, at this moment, all the difficulties and obstacles he had encountered seemed so small and insignificant.

Because, with his indomitable will and extraordinary strength, Lin Ze successfully completed a difficult task that was almost considered impossible - winning the final victory for justice!
