Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

With a shrill scream, the giant beast's towering body like a mountain fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Then, its body gradually dissipated, turning into a cloud of thick black smoke and slowly disappeared into the air.

This thrilling battle finally came to an end.

Although everyone was exhausted and out of breath, everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.

Especially Lin Ze, he stood in place, gazing into the distance, knowing in his heart that this victory over the behemoth was just the beginning.

In the long journey ahead, there will be more difficulties and obstacles waiting for them to face.

However, as long as we work together and move forward courageously, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and welcome the dawn of final victory.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Brother Lin Ze, this time it's all thanks to you! If it weren't for your clever plan, how could we have defeated this giant beast so smoothly."

Lin Ze waved his hand and said modestly: "This is the work of everyone. I can't do it alone."

As everyone was congratulating each other, the sky suddenly darkened.

A cold voice came: "Do you think defeating a small minion is worth being so happy?"

Everyone looked up and saw a black-robed figure appearing above the clouds.

He exuded a powerful sense of oppression, as if he was the lord of the darkness.

Lin Ze's eyes shone, he clenched his weapon tightly, and said loudly: "No matter who you are, since we can defeat the beast, we will not be afraid of you!"

The black-robed man sneered, "You ignorant youngsters, I only released that giant beast to test your strength. The real disaster is about to come."

After saying that, the man in black robe waved his sleeves, and countless black flying insects rushed towards the crowd.

Lin Ze shouted: "Everyone, be careful and defend yourself, and get ready for another fight!" Everyone hurriedly adjusted their status and prepared for battle, as a new crisis unfolded before their eyes.

The black flying insects were extremely fast and flew in front of everyone in an instant. Lin Ze took the lead in swinging his weapon, and a burst of energy whizzed out, sweeping away the flying insects in the front.

Others flashed and displayed their magical powers. Some waved their staffs, and dazzling arrows of light shot out; some chanted something, and blazing flames ignited out of thin air, rushing straight towards the group of flying insects. For a moment, the entire space was enveloped in colorful light, and all kinds of gorgeous spells intertwined, dazzling the eyes.

However, despite everyone's best efforts, the flying insects seemed endless. Every time a group of flying insects were knocked to the ground, more flying insects would surge forward like a tide, constantly filling the gap.

At this moment, Lin Ze, who had been paying close attention to the battle, suddenly noticed something strange. He looked closely and was shocked. It turned out that the flying insects that were originally flying around began to slowly gather together and gradually formed a huge sphere. As time went by, the sphere became larger and larger, emitting a frightening aura.

Lin Ze instantly realized that the situation was not good, and he quickly shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop them from merging! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!" Hearing Lin Ze's shout, everyone woke up as if from a dream, and increased the intensity of their attacks. They used their most powerful spells to try to disperse the flying insects that were gathering.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The sphere made up of countless flying insects had completely taken shape and began to emit an extremely strong suction force. This suction force was like an invisible giant hand, tightly grasping the people around, making it difficult for them to break free. Many people with lower cultivation levels could not resist this powerful force at all, and their bodies flew towards the flying insect ball involuntarily.

Seeing his companions in danger, Lin Ze was extremely anxious. He knew that if he couldn't destroy the flying insect ball as soon as possible, everyone's life would be in danger. So, he took a deep breath and secretly mobilized all the spiritual power in his body. In an instant, a layer of dazzling golden light appeared around him, like a golden sun standing in the sky.

Then, Lin Ze rushed towards the flying insect ball without hesitation. His speed was so fast that he brought a sharp sound of wind, and in the blink of an eye he was close to the flying insect ball. When he was only a few inches away from the flying insect ball, suddenly, a mysterious and powerful force burst out from his body.

It turned out that it was his family's ancestral amulet that played a role at the critical moment. This amulet contained extremely terrifying energy. Once it was activated, its power was simply earth-shattering. With a loud bang, the powerful force released by the amulet was like a surging torrent, fiercely hitting the flying insect ball.

In the face of this overwhelming force, the flying insect ball had no power to resist and was instantly blown to pieces. At the same time, the flying insects that made up the flying insect ball also fell down one after another, losing their vitality and scattered all over the ground.

The black-robed man who had been watching the battle from a distance was shocked when he saw this scene. He never thought that Lin Ze actually had such a powerful method hidden. Facing such a powerful enemy, the black-robed man was hesitant for a while, not knowing whether he should take action himself.

Lin Ze pointed his weapon at the black-robed man and said loudly: "Do you want to fight again now?" The black-robed man laughed sinisterly: "Boy, don't think that you can scare me away with this little skill." As he said this, the black-robed man waved his hands, and the dark aura quickly condensed into a huge sickle. Seeing this, everyone became nervous again.

Lin Ze showed no fear. He whispered to his companions, "I'll go up and entangle him first, and you guys look for a chance to sneak attack." The companions nodded silently. Lin Ze rushed towards the man in black robes, and the two of them fought in an instant, with the sound of weapons colliding.

After several fierce rounds of fighting, Lin Ze began to show signs of fatigue and was clearly at a disadvantage. The man in black robe was tall and mighty, exuding a frightening aura. His strength was beyond imagination! At this moment, the man in black robe saw that he had won the game and was about to launch the final fatal blow to Lin Ze.

However, at this critical moment, Lin Ze's companions followed the strategic deployment carefully planned in advance and unhesitatingly launched their most powerful attack methods at the same time. In an instant, a series of brilliant and dazzling magic lights streaked across the sky like meteors, whizzing straight towards the back of the man in black robe.

The man in black robe had not expected such a change to happen, and was immediately shocked. Caught off guard, he had to devote part of his attention to dealing with the attack from behind. It was also because of this that the attention that was originally focused on Lin Ze was instantly distracted.

It happened so fast. How could Lin Ze, who had been waiting for an opportunity, miss this perfect opportunity? He suddenly took a breath and leaped up. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and stabbed straight into the chest of the black-robed man at lightning speed.
