Chapter 338: Swords and sabers crisscross

When I got closer, I saw that he was an old man with a kind face but a bit of mystery.

I saw the old man leaning on a cane, standing quietly in the middle of the road, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

The old man first looked Lin Ze and the others up and down, then sighed and said, "Young people, do you know that what you hold in your hands is a unique artifact? This artifact contains incomparable power, but it is also like a double-edged sword. If you can't master the correct way to use it, you will suffer the backlash of its power, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hearing this, Lin Ze's heart was shocked, and his already heavy mood now felt as if a huge burden was placed on him.

He knew very well that he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the artifact and exploring its mysteries. If he was not careful, not only would he be in danger himself, but he might also bring immeasurable disaster to the world.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ze raised his head, looked at the mysterious old man with a firm gaze and said, "Old man, thank you for your reminder. I have made up my mind to take this artifact to find more clues and uncover the mysteries hidden in it. Even if the road ahead is extremely difficult, I will never back down!"

After saying that, he turned and looked at his companions behind him, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.

At this time, the mysterious force that has been hidden in the dark is gradually approaching unknowingly. A thrilling and fierce battle for life and death is about to begin... Uncover the secret.

At the same time, a mysterious force is gradually approaching, and a fierce battle is about to begin.

Lin Ze led everyone forward slowly with a solemn expression. Everyone was on edge, paying careful attention to any movement around them.

They knew that the unknown road ahead was full of dangers and challenges, but in order to complete their mission, they had no choice but to move forward.

Suddenly, without any warning, a dark shadow appeared on the road ahead. The shadow was as fast as lightning, and in just a blink of an eye, it appeared before their eyes like a ghost.

When everyone looked closely, they found that the person who came was a mysterious figure who was tightly wrapped in a black robe from head to toe.

This man was tall and straight, but his face was completely hidden in the shadow of the wide hood, with only a pair of icy cold eyes showing. Those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the human soul, making people shudder, and exuded an invisible pressure that was so powerful that it was suffocating.

Without saying a word, the mysterious man stretched out a hand as dry as a branch and pounced towards Lin Ze at lightning speed, aiming directly at the legendary artifact in his hand.

Lin Ze reacted extremely quickly. He slipped and quickly moved to the side, narrowly avoiding the opponent's extremely fierce attack.

At the same time, he shouted angrily: "Who is this demon? How dare you be so bold as to openly snatch the artifact in broad daylight!"

Before he could finish his words, Lin Ze suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand and pulled it hard. With a crisp sound of metal friction, the sword with a cold and shining light came out of the sheath.

In an instant, his whole body was full of vigor, as if he was possessed by the god of war, and he swung his sword towards the mysterious man without hesitation.

For a moment, the only sound was the sound of swords clashing and sparks flying.

The two men fought back and forth, neither giving in, and were instantly caught in an extremely fierce life-and-death battle.

The fierce battle was thrilling, with swords and sabers flashing and dazzling.

Both sides were extremely agile and strong, and every move they made was fierce and accurate. If one was not careful, one would die on the spot.

However, despite the intense battle situation, it was difficult to determine the winner for a while.

At this moment, Lin Ze, who had been concentrating on dealing with the enemy, keenly caught a flaw in the mysterious man.

He acted decisively, seized this fleeting opportunity, and displayed his most powerful skills.

He just shook his wrist, and the sword body trembled violently, and then turned into an extremely sharp sword light, stabbing towards the mysterious man like a storm.

Faced with this earth-shattering sword, the mysterious man remained calm and composed, without any sign of panic.

He just raised his arm slightly and waved his sleeves casually.

In the blink of an eye, an invisible force suddenly surged out from his sleeves and attacked Lin Ze head-on.

With a loud "bang", Lin Ze's extremely powerful sword force was easily dissolved into nothingness.

Seeing this, Lin Ze secretly thought that something was wrong. He quickly withdrew and retreated, while waving the sword in his hand to build a defense line in front of him.

The mysterious man raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. He flashed and approached Lin Ze like a ghost, waving his hands continuously, and powerful forces surged out like a tide.

Lin Ze clenched his teeth, veins bulged on his forehead, and his muscles were tense. He tried his best to resist the attack of the mysterious man.

The mysterious man's figure was erratic and his moves were extremely fierce, with each attack accompanied by a whistling sound and powerful fluctuations of force.

Although Lin Ze has tried his best, the gap in strength between the two sides is still obvious.

As time went by, Lin Ze gradually felt that his physical strength was rapidly draining away. His arms became sore from long periods of blocking, and his movements slowed down.

Just when Lin Ze was about to collapse, he suddenly discovered an extremely subtle flaw in the mysterious man's moves.

The flaw was fleeting. If Lin Ze had not been concentrating on dealing with the opponent's attack, he would probably not have noticed it at all.

A trace of determination flashed across his eyes, and he thought to himself: "This may be my only chance!"

After making up his mind, Lin Ze no longer hesitated. He concentrated all his strength into the sword in his hand.

The sword was flashing with dazzling light, as if it was about to burn.

Then, Lin Ze shouted loudly and performed a sword technique that could destroy both the enemy and the person, and he rushed towards the mysterious man's vital points like a meteor.

The mysterious man obviously did not expect Lin Ze to fight so desperately and was shocked.

He hurriedly tried to dodge sideways, but Lin Ze's speed was too fast, as fast as lightning.

In the end, the mysterious man was still a step too late. With a "swish" sound, the sword blade ruthlessly slashed through the mysterious man's body, leaving a string of scarlet blood.

The mysterious man groaned and involuntarily took several steps back.

He looked down at the blood gushing out of the wound and his expression turned gloomy.
