Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

The strange red light became brighter, and a red bird with flames all over its body came roaring. It flapped its wings, bringing waves of heat. Lin Ze's eyes were stern, and the sword shadows under his feet flashed, and he rushed forward first. Su Yao was not to be outdone, and followed closely with a few sword flowers on her long sword.

The Vermillion Bird screamed and spit out a huge fireball. Lin Ze formed seals with his hands and used the sword control technique to form a sword energy barrier.

The huge burning fireball hit the extremely solid barrier at an astonishing speed like a falling meteor. In an instant, an extremely dazzling and strong light burst out from the collision point, as if a dazzling new star bloomed in an instant, dazzling and mesmerizing.

At this critical moment, Su Yao, who had been concentrating on observing the battle, keenly caught the fleeting opportunity. She swiftly turned sideways and cleverly avoided the powerful impact of the fireball hitting the barrier. Then, without hesitation, she held the long sword and stabbed at Suzaku's leg as fast as lightning.

Zhuque was caught off guard and felt a sharp pain in his leg. He screamed angrily, and immediately waved his sharp claws, like two sharp gusts of wind, and pounced directly at Su Yao.

In a flash, Lin Ze, who had been waiting for an opportunity, saw this and shouted loudly. He quickly formed seals with his hands and controlled his flying sword to shoot straight at Zhuque's eyes like an arrow. Zhuque felt the threat from the flying sword and had to turn around and wave his claws to resist.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Ze rushed to Su Yao's side, stretched out his hand to grab her, and quickly retreated. However, before they could gain a firm foothold, the already aggressive Suzaku suddenly burst into flames. The surging flames were like a volcanic eruption, instantly dyeing the surrounding space red.

At the same time, Lin Ze clearly felt a powerful pressure coming from all directions. He was startled, knowing that this was a sign that Suzaku was about to launch his ultimate move. Faced with such a critical situation, he did not dare to be negligent, took a deep breath, and then poured his internal force into the sword in his hand. Seeing this, Su Yao, who was standing by, approached Lin Ze without hesitation, stretched out her palm and gently pressed it on his back, passing her internal force to him without reservation.

With the blessing of Su Yao's inner force, Lin Ze suddenly felt his strength doubled. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, stared firmly at the Suzaku in front of him, and shouted, "Break!" As his words fell, the flying sword, carrying the powerful force condensed by the two of them working together, turned into a dazzling stream of light and rushed straight towards the Suzaku at lightning speed.

At this moment, before Suzaku's ultimate move could be fully displayed, it was pierced through by this sudden and powerful blow. Suzaku let out a shrill wail, and the flames that had been burning on its body began to gradually go out, and finally dissipated slowly in the air like a wisp of light smoke.

After successfully defeating Suzaku, Lin Ze and Su Yao smiled at each other, their eyes full of joy and relief after the victory. Then, they adjusted their state slightly, and then joined hands again, taking firm steps to continue on the long journey full of unknowns and challenges.

Not long after they walked, the sky suddenly darkened and dark clouds covered the sky. Lin Ze looked up and his expression became serious. Su Yao asked softly, "What's wrong?" Lin Ze frowned and said, "This aura is probably more difficult than the Suzaku just now." As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow swooped down from the clouds. It turned out to be a huge black panther, emitting a cold black light all over its body.

The black panther fell to the ground with a bang like black lightning. The huge impact force caused the solid ground to tremble slightly, as if the whole earth was shaking with its arrival.

Lin Ze held the sword tightly in his hand, the sharp blade flashing with cold light, his eyes were firm and calm, his muscles were tense, ready to deal with the fatal blow that might come at any time. Su Yao on the side also did not dare to relax at all. She held the long sword, her figure was as light as a swallow, and her beautiful eyes stared vigilantly at the ferocious black panther in front of her.

However, the black panther did not launch a fierce attack immediately as they expected. Instead, it began to circle around the two of them slowly, like an experienced hunter looking for the best time to strike. Its green eyes flashed with a cunning light, revealing a chilling and sinister aura.

Just when everyone was extremely nervous, the black panther suddenly jumped up without warning, opened its bloody mouth that could swallow a calf, and pounced on them with a force of thunder. Lin Ze reacted quickly, and he swiftly dodged to the side, cleverly avoiding the frontal attack of the black panther. At the same time, he swung the sword in his hand and slashed at the black panther with a sharp sword energy.

But the black panther was obviously no ordinary creature. It showed amazing flexibility and agility in the air. It twisted its body suddenly and easily avoided Lin Ze's attack.

In a flash, Su Yao, who had been waiting for an opportunity, seized this fleeting opportunity. She shouted, and the long sword in her hand stabbed out quickly like a poisonous snake out of a hole, directly hitting the black panther's abdomen. This sword was fast and fierce, and it seemed that it was about to hit the target.

Unfortunately, although the black panther suffered from Su Yao's sudden attack, its skin was thick and tough, and it just roared in pain, and then swept out with its strong and powerful long tail. The tail whistled like a steel whip, bringing a gust of wind.

At the critical moment, Lin Ze hugged Su Yao without hesitation, used his teleportation skills, and instantly took her away from the original place, moving several meters away before stopping.

At this moment, the already ferocious black panther became even more violent because of the injury. Its eyes gradually turned scarlet, like burning flames; its originally dark hair now shone with a strange black light, as if it was shrouded by a powerful dark force. It was obvious that the black panther had been completely enraged and was about to go all out in a life-and-death fight.

Facing such a strong enemy, Lin Ze took a deep breath and tried to calm his somewhat rapid breathing. He and Su Yao stood back to back in tacit understanding, and they could feel each other's heartbeat and body temperature. They knew that what was waiting for them next would be an unprecedented fierce battle...

Lin Ze whispered to Su Yao, "I'll feint first to lure it out, and then you find an opportunity to stab its eyes." Su Yao nodded lightly.
