Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

In an instant, the two sides began an extremely fierce life-and-death battle.

Lin Ze held the sword in his hand and displayed the exquisite sword skills he had learned. His moves were sharp and his momentum was overwhelming. The men in black robes were not to be outdone and they all used their own unique skills. For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers were crisscrossed and the energy was overflowing.

However, Lin Ze had the power of the sword as a blessing, coupled with his own profound skills, he gradually gained the upper hand in the battle.

Each of his sword strikes was as powerful as thunder, making the black-robed men too exhausted to defend themselves and forced to retreat step by step.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to their side, some of the men in black robes became timid and began to think about how to escape.

So, they exchanged glances and, in tacit understanding, began to cast a strange spell together.

I saw black smoke gushing out from their hands, intertwining in the air to form a huge net, trying to trap Lin Ze and take the opportunity to escape.

Seeing this, Lin Ze's eyes flashed with disdain.

He took a deep breath and continuously injected the true energy in his body into the sword.

As a clear sword sounded, the light on the sword became brighter and brighter, like a burning sun.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ze swung his sword violently, and a powerful sword energy whizzed out, instantly tearing the huge black net into pieces.

Without the protection of magic, the men in black robes had no way to escape.

Lin Ze took advantage of the victory and pursued the opponent without giving him any chance to breathe. He stabbed out several times in succession, accurately hitting the vital parts of each black-robed man.

Accompanied by screams, the people in black robes fell to the ground one after another, completely losing the ability to resist.

After this thrilling battle, Lin Ze slowly put away his sword and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the bodies of the men in black robes lying all over the ground, he knew that it was not easy to win this time.

From then on, he cherished this hard-earned sword even more, and decided to continue practicing and improving his strength to cope with more challenges that might be encountered in the future.

Just as Lin Ze was about to turn around and leave, he noticed that one of the "corpses" had moved its fingers slightly. He cautiously drew out his sword again and walked closer to check. It turned out that the man in black had used a secret method to fake his death, just to attack him when he was not prepared.

At that moment, the black-robed man who had been standing quietly suddenly exploded without any warning! He waved his arm, and a hidden weapon flashing with cold light flew towards Lin Ze like a meteor. Lin Ze reacted very quickly, dodging the fatal blow with a flicker of his body. At the same time, he swung the sword tightly in his hand, and the sharp sword wind whistled past, slashing straight towards the black-robed man.

However, something unexpected happened. Facing Lin Ze's swift attack, the man in black robes did not retreat at all. Instead, he raised his head and laughed. Before the laughter died down, his whole body gradually dissipated like smoke, and finally turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared without a trace. Only the cruel words he left before leaving echoed in the air: "Today's revenge must be avenged!"

Looking at the place where the black-robed man disappeared, Lin Ze couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself: "It seems that this matter will never end so easily." Knowing that the trouble was not over yet, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and rushed back to his residence as quickly as possible with the sword in his arms. As soon as he returned to the room, Lin Ze closed the door and began to retreat, devoting all his energy to studying the secrets hidden in the sword.

Time flies, and several days have passed. During this time, Lin Ze almost never slept, thinking hard and pondering over the sword all day long. Hard work pays off. Finally, late at night, when he gently touched the hilt of the sword, he unexpectedly noticed that there seemed to be an extremely subtle mechanism here. He carefully touched the mechanism, and in an instant, accompanied by a slight sound, a crystal clear jade piece suddenly popped out from the inside of the sword. This piece of jade was as thin as a cicada's wing, and it was densely engraved with ancient and mysterious runes.

In the following days, Lin Ze worked day and night to decipher these obscure runes. Each character seemed to contain endless profound meanings, which required his full concentration to figure out. After a long and arduous effort, he finally succeeded in deciphering the mysteries contained therein, and realized a new and unprecedented skill from it.

This set of skills is exquisite and unique in that it can not only greatly enhance the internal strength of the practitioner, but also has a magical effect - it allows people to easily see through all kinds of disguises and illusions. After mastering this powerful skill, Lin Ze's confidence has doubled, and the whole person glows with an unparalleled spirit. At this moment, he knows that if the black-robed man dares to come and cause trouble again, he will be able to deal with it calmly and defeat the other party in one fell swoop. So, with full of ambition and infinite expectations for the unknown world, Lin Ze resolutely embarked on the journey again, bravely facing the many challenges ahead. At this time, he was already fearless in his heart, because he firmly believed that with his current strength, he was enough to overcome all difficulties and obstacles.

Lin Ze walked forward and came to a mysterious valley. The valley was filled with mist and a dangerous atmosphere was faintly revealed. But Lin Ze was not afraid and stepped in.

Not long after he walked, he felt a strange aura around him. Suddenly, a group of mysterious people in white appeared in front of him. They had cold eyes and exuded a strong aura.

The leader said: "You have something you shouldn't have. Hand it over and I may spare your life." Lin Ze sneered: "Everything I got was obtained by my own ability. If you want it, it depends on whether you have the ability." After saying that, he gripped the sword tightly and practiced the new skills he had learned.

The people in white looked at each other and almost simultaneously used their unique skills. For a moment, colorful and dazzling spells bombarded Lin Ze like fireworks. However, facing this seemingly impenetrable attack, Lin Ze was not in a hurry. He turned into a phantom in a flash and easily avoided these fierce attacks at an extremely ghostly speed.

At the same time, Lin Ze also launched a counterattack. The sword in his hand, under the blessing of his powerful skills, suddenly burst out with dazzling sword light, like a scorching sun hanging in the sky, making people dare not look directly at it. As Lin Ze waved his arm, the dazzling sword light instantly turned into countless sharp sword energy, sweeping towards the people in white like a storm.

The two sides fought back and forth fiercely, and for a moment the entire space was filled with surging energy, radiant light, and endless roars. This fierce battle lasted for a long time, and Lin Ze always responded calmly, skillfully dodging and defusing every attack of the enemy, and constantly looking for flaws in the opponent's moves.
