Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 99 The Shadow
Gardenia held a water bag in her hand and hummed a bright tune. She quickly passed through several dense pine trees and found the stream. She looked at the clear stream, gurgling by, and round pine trees. The evergreen rocks are "bathed" in the stream, which is so pleasant.

With a slight smile on her lips, Gardenia squatted down and poured water into the water bag. Suddenly, her brows condensed, and she intuitively felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from across the narrow stream.

"Who?" She raised her eyes alertly, but saw the figure in front of her flashing, and a black shadow disappearing across the stream.

It was indeed a dark shadow, squatting across the stream just now and watching her.

Gardenia warned herself to be calm and looked steadily across the stream. There was nothing there at the moment, but there was indeed a black shadow squatting there just now. There was no mistaking it.

She trusted her intuition that there was danger here, so she placed the water bag by the stream, stood up slowly, and used the Baihong Sword. She secretly began to circulate spiritual power throughout her body, just waiting for a battle.

But after waiting for a while, there was no movement. She used her spiritual sense to explore the front and back, and found no sign of any living person.

How is this going?Where is it?
Big beads of sweat trickled down her cheeks. Gardenia looked around vigilantly, on the treetops, behind streams, mountains and rocks, and even farther away... wherever she could see, she looked around. But there was no movement. She thought for a moment, and there was only one place she didn't check. Could it be...

Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blew behind her, causing goosebumps to appear on her back...

She only felt that the back of her neck was stiff and cold, so she had to slowly turn her head to look. This was not a big deal, but it frightened her so much that she took a few steps back, and even one of her feet fell into the stream.

But she saw a dark figure with a slender figure. Although she couldn't see clearly what she was wearing, she felt that it was completely black. There was a proud smile on her face with a big mouth...

Gardenia felt extremely permeated. When did this black shadow run from opposite her and behind her?
"Earth-binding cold thorns, break -" Gardenia yelled out this secret formula. It was all based on instinctive reaction. She didn't have time to think too much. At the same time, she turned over and jumped up. In an instant, more than a hundred pieces of earth force suddenly appeared on the ground beside the stream. The cold thorn struck directly at the black figure.

But the black shadow just grinned and followed Gardenia up to the ground. He also shouted the formula of the Earth-Binding Cold Thorn Secret Art and attacked the ground where Gardenia was about to land.

When Gardenia saw this, she felt even more strange. The person attacking her was just a black shadow, but he actually knew the Earth-Binding Cold Thorn Secret Technique she used?Could this dark shadow be related to Taixu Mountain?If he were not a disciple of Taixu Mountain, how could he know how to use a little spiritual power to injure people with the power of the earth?
She saw that there were icy thorns growing on the ground, making it difficult for her to land, so she had to flip twice more in mid-air and jump into the stream, because there were no cold thorns sticking out there.

But just when she was about to fall into the stream, she saw two other black shadows suddenly appeared in the stream, which were exactly the same as the shadows she had just fought.

She didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately transferred her spiritual power, muttering in her mouth: "Xuantian is incompetent, the profound meaning of Qianqiu, frozen for thousands of miles -" The moment her palm touched the stream, the entire stream froze into hard ice and frost. The cold air spread instantly.

Of the two black shadows in the stream, one had no time to escape and was instantly frozen.

But just as it was frozen, the black shadow suddenly disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never appeared before.

Gardenia landed on the ice and stared at the two remaining black figures warily, but her mind kept thinking: What kind of weird thing is this?Not only is she not a human being, but she also knows the magic of Taixu Mountain?
Before she could think about it, the black shadow not far away in front of her suddenly shouted out the words "Frozen for Thousands of Miles". Immediately, another hard block of ice appeared at Gardenia's feet, and Gardenia had to jump into the air. In the middle, he wielded the Baihong Sword.

Unexpectedly, the remaining two black shadows also appeared in the sky, confronting Gardenia.Unexpectedly, the black shadow that originally escaped from the stream also used the Xuan Bing Jue she had just used in an instant.At this time, Gardenia was sweating like rain. She didn't understand why the spell she used seemed to be copied by someone. Then the black shadow could copy the spell she used in an instant to attack her?
What is she going to do?Where does this dark shadow come from?

While hesitating, he heard a huge, exaggerated smile on the lips of one of the black figures, and let out a whistle. In the blink of an eye, twelve more black figures appeared in front of Gardenia's eyes, just like the two figures just now. The enemy's shadow is exactly the same.

They couldn't see clearly what they were wearing, and their dark facial features and expressions were all the same.

It was over. She still had a chance of winning against one or two black shadows with the same spell as hers, but now she was facing twelve black shadows. How was she going to deal with them?

Gardenia hinted that she should be calm. Only by being calm and composed when facing the enemy can she have the possibility of defeating the enemy.

Although the current situation is a pair of twelve, and the opponent's shadow knows all the spells she uses...

Yes, the spells she just used were the Earth-Binding Cold Thorn Secret Art and the Black Ice Art, so these shadows could imitate them quickly. But what if it was a spell she hadn't used yet?

She thought about the spells she had learned during this period, including the highly offensive ones, as well as Cangyun Jiugong Sword Technique, which was a set of sword techniques passed down to Cangyun Zhi, the ancestor of Taixu Mountain. If she was forced to appear, With the limit of his body's spiritual power, he could barely use the Cangyun Nine Palaces Sword Technique to force out more than ten sword energy to hurt people.

And there are exactly twelve black shadows, so it may be barely feasible.

In order to confirm that her guess was correct, she wielded the White Rainbow Sword and deliberately lured the twelve black shadows in mid-air to attack her. Sure enough, the only tricks used by these black shadows were the Bie Dihan she had used just now. Stab Xuan Jue and Xuan Bing Jue, but there are no other tricks.

While dealing with the twelve black shadows, she tried her best to save the spiritual power in her body and used the Xuan Bing Jue in mid-air. Although it only took a breath, Gardenia was already sweating profusely, and the clothes on her back were soaked with sweat. I was soaked, but I felt a little calmer.

After the confrontation just now, she has basically figured out the cultivation level of the twelve black shadows. They are actually equivalent to her own cultivation level, and their only tricks are the Earth-Binding Cold Thorn Secret Technique and the Xuan Ice Technique.This is the same as her guess.

In this way, she understood how to deal with the enemy. Among the spells she had learned recently, the most powerful one was Cangyun Jiugong Sword Technique. There were only twelve black shadows here, and at the moment she could The sword energy of Cangyun Nine Palaces Sword Technique that was forced out was only a dozen or so.

If she were to catch him off guard and take advantage of the situation to attack his vital points, she might be able to get rid of these shadows in one fell swoop.

At that moment, she no longer dodge, but instead wielded the Baihong Sword. While confronting the enemy, she deliberately induced the twelve black shadows to surround her in mid-air.

At the same time, Gardenia leaped to the ground, holding the Baihong Sword in one hand, and pouring all her spiritual power into the Baihong Sword with the other hand. In an instant, more than twenty sword energy came out from the Baihong Sword, with the Baihong Sword as the source. At the center of the circle, she struck at the black shadows surrounding her...
