Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Finally, after a hard fight, Lin Ze keenly caught a fleeting opportunity. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he exerted all his strength, gathering his own power on the tip of the sword, and then stabbed out with the force of thunder. This sword was like a rainbow piercing the sun, unstoppable!

At this moment, the group of people in white clothes were shocked and pale after seeing this scene. They stared at Lin Ze with their eyes wide open. They could not imagine that this seemingly ordinary man could use such a powerful and terrifying move.

However, before they could make any move, the dazzling sword light rushed over like lightning, instantly breaking through the defense line they had painstakingly built. The speed and power of the sword light were simply jaw-dropping. In the blink of an eye, only shrill screams resounded through the sky, and the white-clothed men were hit in the vitals by the sword light one after another, and fell to the ground screaming.

Lin Ze stood there quietly, coldly watching the group of white-clothed men in front of him who had become extremely embarrassed. He slowly put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and his handsome face was expressionless at the moment, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him. Then, he said in an icy tone: "Don't try to take my treasure again. If it happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" As soon as the voice fell, Lin Ze didn't even look at the white-clothed men who were in a panic. He turned around resolutely and took big strides to continue to advance into the depths of the valley.

At this moment, Lin Ze, who was walking on the winding mountain road, knew very well that the road ahead of him was destined to be full of all kinds of unpredictable dangers and difficulties. However, there was no fear or retreat in his eyes, but a firm and fearless light flashed. Because he knew deeply that if he wanted to improve his strength and uncover the truth behind this mysterious valley, he must muster up the courage to face all the difficulties he might encounter and try his best to overcome them.

Lin Ze was walking along the mountain road when he suddenly heard a melodious flute sound. He followed the sound and saw a woman in green sitting on a boulder playing the flute. The woman had a beautiful face and an ethereal temperament.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Ze asked vigilantly.

"Don't be afraid, young master. I am also here to explore the secrets of the valley. I was impressed by your great power just now." The woman said with a smile.

Although Lin Ze still had a little bit of vigilance in his heart, through talking with the mysterious woman along the way and observing her words and actions, he gradually felt that this woman really didn't seem to have any bad intentions. So the two of them walked together, sharing their experiences of practicing the exercises while moving forward.

Unconsciously, they came to a cave. There was a strange light flickering faintly at the entrance of the cave, as if hiding some unknown secret. Faced with such an attractive scene, the two couldn't help but feel curious. Just when they were about to step into the cave to find out, suddenly, the ground under their feet shook violently! Accompanied by a low roar, a huge stone beast woke up from its sleep. The stone beast bared its teeth and claws, its eyes wide open, and a scorching breath spewed out of its mouth, and it pounced directly at Lin Ze and the woman.

In a flash, Lin Ze saw that the situation was not good, and immediately drew out the sword at his waist, ready to fight the ferocious beast. At the same time, the woman beside him did not show any weakness, and she quickly took out a soft and thin ribbon from her sleeve. The ribbon in her hand was like a living thing, flying up and down, circling left and right, like a smart venomous snake, and entwined with the stone beast at lightning speed.

While the woman was distracting the stone beast with the ribbon, Lin Ze flashed and swiftly went behind the stone beast. Then, he used all his strength, held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and used an extremely sharp sword technique to pierce the broad and strong back of the stone beast. The severely injured stone beast let out a painful roar and struggled desperately to twist its body. However, although it tried its best to resist, it was ultimately unable to withstand the powerful offensive of Lin Ze and the woman's tacit cooperation. Finally, after a fierce fight, the huge stone beast fell to the ground with a bang and there was no movement anymore.

Lin Ze took a few breaths, put away his sword, and turned to look at the woman beside him who was also a little tired. The two smiled at each other, and there was a hint of admiration in each other's eyes. After a short rest, they took another step and stepped into the cave full of unknowns and mysteries together. Because they knew very well that the battle in front of them was just a small beginning. The real severe test and the expected treasure were probably still behind, quietly waiting for them to explore and discover...

After entering the cave, the light became dimmer. Lin Ze took out a night-shining pearl to illuminate the way ahead, and saw that the walls of the cave were engraved with ancient runes and patterns. The woman approached the wall and looked at it carefully, her fingers gently touching the runes, and suddenly she retracted her hand as if frightened.

"These runes exude an evil aura. I'm afraid this place is very dangerous." The woman frowned.

Lin Ze tightly gripped the hilt of the sword, his palms slightly sweating, his eyes alertly staring ahead, carefully moving forward step by step. Not far away, he saw a huge and heavy stone door standing not far ahead. The stone door looked very old, and the surface was covered with mottled marks left by the years, but the most eye-catching thing was the intricately carved and intricate array pattern on the door.

Facing such a mysterious formation, Lin Ze couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity and challenge. He stopped and carefully observed the direction and pattern of the lines of the formation, trying to find a way to crack it. However, when he reached out and gently touched one of the array points, the whole ground suddenly began to shake violently, and then a sharp and piercing sound of "swoosh" was heard, and countless extremely sharp arrows shot towards them from all directions like raindrops!

Lin Ze's face changed drastically, and without thinking too much, he grabbed the woman beside him and quickly jumped back. Those sharp arrows chased after them as if they had eyes, and they almost hit them several times. It was really dangerous!

At this critical moment, Lin Ze suddenly caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous small groove next to the stone gate.

The shape of this groove is very peculiar, and it seems that it can just accommodate the jade pendant he is wearing.

After a slight hesitation, Lin Ze gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. He quickly took off the jade pendant and gently placed it into the small groove.
