Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

"Let's work together!" At the critical moment, Lin Ze stepped forward and shouted loudly to encourage everyone.

Hearing his voice, everyone gritted their teeth and used all their strength to fight the dark force. For a moment, the whole valley was filled with light and energy, and the scene was extremely intense and spectacular.

In this thrilling contest, Lin Ze remained calm and focused.

While struggling to resist the erosion of the dark power, he keenly observed the changes in the formation, looking for flaws in it.

Finally, hard work paid off. In a fleeting moment, Lin Ze captured a weak link in the dark force.

Without hesitation, he used all his strength, gathered all his spiritual power at his fingertips, and struck hard at the weak spot.

There was only a loud bang, as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart, and the dark power collapsed in an instant.

With a flash of dazzling light, the dark forces were temporarily suppressed.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves finally relaxed.

However, Lin Ze did not show any sign of relief at this time.

He knew very well that although he had managed to break through the formation and temporarily suppress the dark forces, this was only the beginning.

What awaits them next will probably be more unknown difficulties and obstacles...

Lin Ze looked around and said to everyone in a serious tone: "Don't let your guard down. This dark force will surely come back again, and the next attack will only be more ferocious." Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions, which had just relaxed, became solemn again.

"We must find a way to completely eliminate it as soon as possible!" Lin Ze frowned tightly, his eyes were solemn and firm, as if he already had a plan to deal with it in his deep eyes.

He folded his hands across his chest, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I have decided to go to the depths of the valley alone to explore the source of this dark power."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and tried to dissuade him. Someone said, "Lin Ze, the depths of the valley are full of dangers. You may not be able to handle it alone!" Someone else shouted anxiously, "Yes, it's too dangerous. Let's take a long-term view!" However, in the face of everyone's concerns and dissuasion, Lin Ze just smiled slightly, waved his hand to indicate that everyone didn't need to worry, and then resolutely turned around and walked towards the depths of the valley.

When Lin Ze stepped into the depths of the valley, an even stronger breath of darkness hit him in the face, like a thick dark cloud covering the surroundings, making people feel depressed and suffocated.

Looking around, the surrounding trees appeared particularly twisted and hideous, and the intertwined branches and leaves revealed a weird atmosphere; the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, which made a crunching sound when stepped on, as if it was the wailing from hell.

The whole environment is extremely eerie and scary.

At this moment, a sudden cold wind blew, causing Lin Ze to shiver all over.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow appeared in front of him like a ghost.

The black shadow exuded an evil aura. Its true face could not be seen. One could only hear a low and hoarse laugh coming from its mouth: "Hahahaha... Do you think you can stop me? You lowly humans are nothing but a group of insignificant ants!"

Facing the black shadow's ridicule, Lin Ze showed no fear at all.

He clenched his teeth, opened his eyes wide, and stared at the terrible enemy in front of him, while clenching his fists so hard that they made a creaking sound.

He just roared: "Even if I risk my life today, I must find a way to destroy you!" Before he finished speaking, Lin Ze rushed towards the black shadow like an arrow, and instantly started a fierce life-and-death struggle with the black shadow.

Although the black shadow was extremely powerful, each of its attacks was overwhelming, making Lin Ze feel under great pressure.

But Lin Ze did not retreat even a single step. Instead, he became more and more courageous as the battle went on.

He dodged the shadow's attacks nimbly and waited for the right moment to counterattack.

In this thrilling battle, Lin Ze always believed that as long as he persisted and never gave up, he would be able to find the fatal weakness of the black shadow and defeat it in one fell swoop.

Lin Ze dodged the sweeping attack from the black shadow by leaning sideways, and punched the black shadow in the abdomen.

However, the black shadow seemed to have no substance, and Lin Ze's fist went straight through it, and his body leaned forward due to inertia. The black shadow took advantage of the situation and kicked Lin Ze away.

Lin Ze fell heavily to the ground in an embarrassing posture, like a meteor that was smashed to the ground.

Along with the dull sound of his body hitting the ground, a fishy and sweet taste suddenly rushed up his throat. He couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of bright red blood.

However, despite suffering such a severe blow, his eyes remained as firm as a burning flame, as if no force could extinguish it.

At this moment, Lin Ze's sharp eyes captured a crucial detail - every time the black shadow was about to launch a powerful attack, a small piece of darkness would always gather silently first.

This subtle change made Lin Ze's heart move, and a glimmer of hope flashed through his mind. Perhaps this was the fatal weakness hidden deep in the black shadow!

Sure enough, when the black shadow was once again ready to launch a violent attack on Lin Ze, Lin Ze responded quickly.

He pretended to be too seriously injured to get up, and collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Seeing this, the black shadow thought there was an opportunity and immediately sprinted over at full speed without hesitation, with cruelty and complacency revealed on his hideous face.

And at the moment the black shadow moved, the familiar darkness began to gather again.

In a flash, the mysterious holy object that had been hidden in Lin Ze's waist finally came in handy at the critical moment. He took out the holy object at lightning speed, and then a dazzling light suddenly flashed out, like a lightning that cut through the darkness, illuminating the entire space.

The black shadow was obviously frightened by this sudden change. It roared towards the sky in horror, its voice full of despair and disbelief.

At the same time, it instinctively wanted to retreat quickly to avoid the attack of the strong light, but it was too late. The bright light released by the holy object was like an indestructible arrow, shooting straight towards the gathering darkness.

As the light touched it, the black shadow seemed to have its soul sucked out, and its originally huge and mighty body began to gradually dissipate.

It twisted and struggled desperately, roaring with unwillingness and anger: "Impossible... This is absolutely impossible..." But no matter how it resisted, it could not change the inevitable outcome.
