Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

However, facing such a fierce attack from the two, the black shadow just smiled coldly, then casually raised his hand and waved it lightly.

In an instant, countless evil ghost images emerged out of thin air and pounced towards Lin Ze and the man in black robe with their fangs and claws.

These evil ghosts have hideous and terrifying faces, and they constantly emit shrill howls from their mouths, the sound of which is extremely terrifying.

However, Lin Ze's swordsmanship was exquisite and sharp. Every time he swung the sword, it would bring up a cold light and easily cut the evil spirits that pounced on him into two halves.

I saw the man in black robe moving erratically, shuttling among the evil spirits like a ghost.

He kept making seals with his hands and muttering something, and magical spells flashing with strange light shot out from his hands.

These spells were like meteors across the night sky, hitting the ferocious evil spirits with incredible precision.

Each collision caused a dazzling explosion of light. The evil spirits had no power to resist this powerful force and were instantly reduced to ashes.

However, despite the powerful magic of the black-robed man, the evil spirits continued to come one after another. The two sides fought back and forth, and for a while it was difficult to determine the winner, and fell into a tense stalemate.

Lin Ze, who was in the middle of the battle, did not panic at all. He held a long sword in his hand, slashed left and right with a nimble body, and slashed the evil spirits that rushed towards him one by one. At the same time, his sharp eyes were always fixed on the surroundings, not missing any slight movement, secretly observing the situation on the battlefield, trying to find the enemy's flaws.

Time passed by, and just when everyone thought that the battle would last for a long time, Lin Ze suddenly caught a fleeting opportunity. His eyes focused, and he pushed his feet hard, and rushed forward like an arrow. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and he stabbed straight at the black shadow with an indomitable momentum.

Almost at the same time, the man in black robes seemed to have noticed Lin Ze's intention. He snorted coldly, and quickly formed seals with his hands again, and then a huge energy gushed out of his body. In an instant, a huge torrent of light swept over, following Lin Ze's figure like a roaring dragon, with a terrifying momentum.

In a flash, Lin Ze's sword and the black-robed man's torrent of light collided in the air. There was a loud "bang", as if the whole world was shaking. Along with the loud noise, there was a terrible scream. Then, the black shadow flew backwards as if it had been hit hard, fell heavily to the ground, and there was no movement anymore.

After the dust settled, all that was left on the battlefield was a pile of broken limbs and a dead silence. It was obvious that this thrilling battle ended with the victory of Lin Ze and the man in black robes. The crisis that had been hanging over their hearts was finally resolved.

Lin Ze sheathed his sword and breathed a sigh of relief. The man in black robe slowly walked towards him, "Thanks to you today, otherwise it would be difficult for me to win alone." Lin Ze smiled slightly, "Your magic is also very powerful, we work well together." The two smiled at each other. At this time, the air around them suddenly rippled, and a mysterious portal slowly opened. A white-haired old man walked out of the door, and he looked at the two of them with deep eyes.

"You did a great job!" The old man's deep and powerful voice rang out slowly, as if the whole space was trembling slightly because of his words. Lin Ze and the man in black robe stood respectfully aside, with solemn expressions, listening attentively to every word of the old man.

The old man looked ahead solemnly, his eyes seemed to penetrate through the layers of fog and reach the truth hidden in the darkness. He said slowly: "This black shadow is an extremely evil monster. It has been lurking in the dark, quietly destroying the balance of the world. If it is not stopped, the consequences will be disastrous." At this point, the old man paused and slightly emphasized his tone.

Lin Ze and the black-robed man looked at each other, and each saw a hint of surprise and worry in the other's eyes, but more of determination and courage. At this time, the old man continued: "However, this is just the beginning. Greater dangers are approaching step by step, and the challenges we face will become more severe. However, I believe that both of you are gifted and will be able to shoulder the responsibility of protecting this continent." After that, the old man waved his arm, and two faint rays of light suddenly shot out, like a meteor across the sky, and instantly fell into the hands of Lin Ze and the black-robed man respectively.

The two of them looked closely and found that they were two pieces of jade that were emitting a faint glow. The jade was crystal clear, and there seemed to be clouds and mist flowing inside, faintly revealing a mysterious atmosphere. The old man smiled and explained: "These two pieces of jade contain powerful energy that can help you improve your skills. Make good use of them, and I look forward to your better performance in future battles." As soon as the voice fell, the old man turned and walked towards the portal behind him. As his steps gradually went away, his figure gradually became blurred. When the old man stepped into the portal, a dazzling light flashed, and then the portal slowly closed and finally disappeared.

Lin Ze tightly grasped the jade in his hand, feeling the warm energy flowing into his body, and a surge of lofty ambitions surged in his heart. He looked up into the distance, his eyes flashing with an extremely determined light, as if he had seen himself bravely killing enemies and defending justice in the future. At the same time, the black-robed man beside him also had a determined look on his face. He took the jade into his arms and secretly made up his mind not to disappoint the old man's expectations and to defend the peace and tranquility of this continent with his own strength. Because they knew that their new journey had already begun.

After saying goodbye to the man in black robes, Lin Ze embarked on the path of cultivation alone. He came to a quiet valley, where spiritual energy was abundant, and planned to cultivate with the help of the power of jade. He found a cave, sat cross-legged in it, and placed the jade in his palm. As he practiced the skills, the jade glowed brightly, and the surrounding spiritual energy rushed into his body crazily.

A few days later, Lin Ze felt that his strength had greatly increased, and was about to leave the valley. Suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting outside. He rushed out of the cave and saw a group of demonized beasts attacking several villagers. Lin Ze drew his sword and rushed into the beasts, his sword skills were more fierce than before. But these beasts seemed to be driven by some evil power and were not afraid of death.

While Lin Ze was fighting hard, the man in black suddenly appeared. It turned out that he had sensed the evil spirit in this place and came to check it out. The two smiled at each other and fought side by side again. The man in black cast a spell to trap some of the beasts, and Lin Ze quickly killed the rest. After resolving the crisis, they realized that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this, perhaps related to the greater danger that has not yet arrived. So they decided to go together to investigate the root cause of this matter, heading towards the direction with the heaviest evil spirit in the distance. They knew that a new battle was coming.
