Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze watched the battle from the sidelines, secretly praising Su Yao's performance. But he also realized that the monster still had hidden strength. If the battle lasted for a long time, Su Yao might be in danger. So Lin Ze quietly used his internal strength, ready to provide support at any time.

At this moment, the monster suddenly roared, its hair stood up, and it released a black shock wave. Su Yao couldn't dodge and was about to be hit.

At that critical moment of life and death, a black shadow moved in front of Su Yao like lightning. Looking closely, it turned out to be Lin Ze! His face was solemn, his eyes were wide open, and he pushed his hands forward suddenly. A powerful internal force surged out and collided with the fatal attack that was about to hit Su Yao. There was only a loud bang, and the two forces offset each other, successfully resolving this thrilling crisis.

Su Yao looked at Lin Ze in front of her with lingering fear, and her eyes showed deep gratitude. Lin Ze turned his head slightly, smiled at Su Yao, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's join forces to deal with this hateful guy!" After that, he flashed and rushed towards the ferocious monster again.

Then, the two of them worked closely together and fought side by side. Their cooperation became more and more tacit, as if they were in sync. Lin Ze displayed his powerful skills, with sharp moves and a strong momentum, which forced the monster to focus all its attention on him. At the same time, Su Yao was not idle either. She was concentrating on observing the monster's every move, looking for its weaknesses.

Suddenly, the monster sensed the threat from behind, turned around, opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Lin Ze. However, at this moment, Su Yao, who had been waiting for an opportunity, aimed at the joint of the monster's hind legs and stabbed out with the long sword in her hand as fast as a poisonous snake out of a hole. With a muffled "puff", the sharp tip of the sword accurately pierced the monster's vital point.

The severely injured monster roared in pain, its huge body trembling in pain, and its originally swift movements became slow. Seeing this good opportunity, how could Lin Ze let it go? He shouted, gathered all his internal strength in his palm, and then slapped the monster with a thunderous force. This palm contained all of Lin Ze's power, and its power was extremely amazing.

As this earth-shattering palm fell, the arrogant monster could no longer bear such a huge injury, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust. Seeing the monster completely fall down and no longer move, Su Yao cheered excitedly, her face filled with the joy and pride of victory.

At this time, Lin Ze slowly walked to Su Yao's side, smiled and looked at her, his eyes full of satisfaction. He gently patted Su Yao's shoulder and praised: "Well done! Your strength improvement speed is amazing. If you keep going like this, it won't be long before you can surpass me." Hearing Lin Ze's praise, Su Yao couldn't help but lower her head shyly, but she was very happy in her heart.

After a short rest, the two smiled at each other, then cheered up and continued on their long journey full of dangers and challenges. They took firm and powerful steps, step by step, and bravely moved forward towards the unknown and distant future...

Not long after they walked, the sky suddenly darkened and dark clouds gathered. Lin Ze became alert and took Su Yao's hand and hid in the cave next to him. A gust of cold wind blew, and a man in a black robe slowly appeared.

"You killed my pet, and you think you can leave so easily?" The black-robed man's voice was eerie and cold.

Lin Ze flashed and stood in front of Su Yao in an instant. He said loudly with a righteous look on his face: "The monster is cruel and has hurt many innocent people. We are here today to eradicate it and bring peace to the world. This is completely a just act!"

The black-robed man on the opposite side sneered sinisterly, and his voice was as cold and piercing as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell: "Hmph, stop quibbling! You killed my pet, so you must pay with your life!" Before he finished speaking, the black-robed man waved his long sleeves violently, and in an instant, several black vines shot towards Lin Ze and Su Yao like poisonous snakes.

Facing such a fierce attack, Lin Ze did not dare to be negligent. He immediately circulated his internal Qi, pushed his palms forward, and a powerful internal force gushed out, colliding fiercely with those black vines. At the same time, he turned his head and winked at Su Yao, and whispered: "Su Yao, look for an opportunity to fight back!"

Su Yao understood, she held the sword tightly in her hand, staring at the black vines. When one of the vines showed a flaw, Su Yao shouted, and swung the sword in her hand like lightning, and there was a crisp sound of "click", and the vine broke.

The black-robed man was furious when he saw this. His eyes widened, he muttered something, and his hands quickly formed complicated seals. As he moved, the air around him seemed to become heavy, as if it was imprisoned by an invisible force.

Lin Ze suddenly felt the pressure on him doubled, and every step forward was extremely difficult, but he still gritted his teeth and held on. At this critical moment, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he suddenly remembered a mysterious formation that his master had taught him. If he could work together with Su Yao to perform this formation, he might be able to break through the current predicament.

So, Lin Ze hurriedly told Su Yao about this idea through the art of transmitting sound into secrets. Su Yao nodded slightly to show that she understood. Then, the two of them stood in a specific position in tacit understanding and recited the spell in unison.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light rose from under their feet, like a golden sun suddenly blooming. This golden light was unstoppable and rushed straight towards the restraining force exerted by the black-robed man. With a loud "boom", the black-robed man's spell was instantly broken, and he himself was also knocked back several steps by this powerful force, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Ze grabbed Su Yao's hand and shouted, "Go!" After that, the two of them flashed and turned into two streams of light, quickly escaping from the cave. The angry roar of the man in black robes came from behind, but soon it gradually faded away and finally disappeared from the ears.

The two ran for a long time, and stopped only after they were sure that the black-robed man was not chasing them. Lin Ze looked at Su Yao, who was out of breath, and said with a smile, "Thanks to you this time." Su Yao rolled her eyes at him, "It's not your idea." As they were talking, they found themselves in a strange place, surrounded by flashing runes. Suddenly, a stone platform rose from the ground, and on the stone platform was an ancient book emitting a faint light. Lin Ze approached curiously, and as soon as he touched it, the ancient book merged into his body. In an instant, he felt a strange knowledge flooding into his mind, which turned out to be the long-lost sword-controlling technique. Lin Ze tried to operate it, and a sword shadow condensed under his feet. He looked at Su Yao in surprise, "It seems to be a reward from God." Su Yao was envious. At this time, a strange red light appeared on the horizon again, and it seemed that there was a greater danger approaching. Lin Ze held Su Yao's hand tightly, "No matter what it is, we will face it together." Su Yao nodded heavily, and the two were ready to face the next unknown challenge.
