Murim Recurve

The Blinded Ghost was already enraged at the fact that its shell was damaged a little by Re'Kha. Followed by it, the mural it was seeking to obtain had vanished mysteriously, making it seethe further with rage.

And now, a massive Firebird took off to the skies and headed straight towards the messenger bird carrying its shell. Considering the density of Fire Qi carried by it, the messenger bird would be vaporised while its shell would be almost destroyed.

And, the Firebird seemed sentient, able to flap its wings and move accordingly in the air to dodge any obstacles and chase right after the messenger. Moreover, it was faster than the messenger bird, about to pounce on it soon enough.

So, the Blinded Ghost had no other choice but to vanish from the place, just when it planned to deal with Re'Kha and the Elder. It reappeared along the path of the Firebird, consuming two eyes to unleash two powerful Ghost Qi Palm Projections.

The two elements collided in the air, causing a massive explosion. And, they were evenly matched, causing the Blinded Ghost to become alarmed. After all, that was two of its most powerful attacks. It looked around, noticing a group of Harmonisers on the terrace of the auction house, forming a boxed formation.

And, situated in their centre was a scroll, and placed on it were two Fire Qi Essences. And at present, both the Fire Qi Essences were emitting blinding red radiance, accumulating it through the circuit in the Art of the Element, gathering power. Slowly, the silhouette of a firebird was condensing above the Art of the Element.

It was the Grade 2 Art of the Element that was recently auctioned. And, every Firebird produced by it contained 20 units of Fire Qi. A Grade 1 Art of the Element firebird only contained 10 units of Fire Qi within it.

And at the same time, a smaller Firebird took off to the air and headed straight to the messenger bird that was carrying the Blinded Ghost's shell. As for the couple of messenger birds that came in its way, they were torched down.

This was unleashed by the Burfuna (Fire)Ka Clan. Upon seeing the severity of the situation, they had mobilised their entire strength, bringing out all the Magic Artifacts and even their Art of the Element.

Usually, an Art of the Element was meant for attack or strategic purposes. As for those involving the element of fire, they were solely used for attacking. And hence, the design typically followed was the Firebird. There were other forms too, but the Firebird was the most popular considering the degree of control it gave the user and its range.

And now, the Burfuna Ka Clan had taken action, targeting the most threatening one first. As for the other three Sha, the Elders were going over to deal with them.

The three Sha noticed how the Blinded Ghost had appeared at the centre of the Ghost Qi vortex and screamed when the mural had disappeared. Now that their objective had vanished, they didn't know what to do.

But, they didn't have time to think upon realising that their shells were in danger. They disappeared from the place, appearing within their respective shells. Then, they materialised above the water tank, getting blasted with Elemental Qi attacks one after another by the congregating Harmonisers.

And right at this time, the swarm of flying birds and beasts had reached Burfuna City, heading straight towards the place with the three Sha. With a single glance, it was apparent that they wished to free the shells of the three Sha and help them escape.

The Elders didn't wish to see it happen, immediately attacking the three Sha. Moreover, the other Harmonisers took to the terraces of all the houses, getting ready to attack the incoming swarm.

As for the Blinded Ghost, it had unleashed another Ghost Qi Palm Projection to destroy the Grade 1 Firebird. But, it didn't have time to rest or recover the lost eyes as another Grade 2 firebird had finished forming. Moreover, even though the messenger bird was flying all along, considering the directions from which it was attacked, all it could do was move in circles to avoid the attacks.

So, it wasn't making a proper escape. And, just when the Blinded Ghost was planning to do something, the Pranic Avatar—Yali with three foundations—unleashed by the head Elder arrived at the scene, shooting a breath attack onto the messenger bird.

Considering the speed it was shot out, and as the Blinded Ghost had been planning to attack the Grade 2 firebird, it didn't have enough time to react accordingly. So, all it could do was vanish from its place and appear behind the messenger bird, tanking the breath attack with its body, screaming at the injury.

At present, it didn't even have Ghost Qi to recover from its surroundings, as it was too high up in the air. Moreover, even if it wished to head somewhere else to siphon Ghost Qi and take a couple of eyes, it didn't have the time.

For, the moment it left the place, its shell would be bombarded until it was destroyed. The moment the location of its shell was exposed, it lost the initiative. Now, it had no other choice but to passively defend against the attacks.

The Yali flew towards the Blinded Ghost, attacking it. Unlike the other Pranic Avatars, Elemental Qi condensed throughout its body. So, even if it only did physical attacks, the Elemental Qi suffused in them made its attacks equivalent to attacks from Magic Artifacts.

There was a reason it was called the Divine Beast. Even though the Elder didn't have enough Elemental Qi and Kalki Qi to summon it in its strongest state, and had only managed to condense it with three foundations, it was still quite strong.

As they had shared thoughts, the head Elder didn't have to move. Moreover, he took out an Elemental Qi Essence, activated it to encompass himself, and began to recover his Elemental Qi reserves.

The Yali slammed into the Blinded Ghost, sending it flying away, hindering it from defending itself. And as it was troubled, the Grade 2 firebird arrived at the scene, making a beeline towards the messenger bird, emitting scorching heat.
