Murim Recurve

Once she finished recovering, Re'Kha descended the auction house using her Hand Projections. Even though she wasted all her recovered Water Qi in this one action, it saved her a lot of time.

She then began to sprint on the road, keeping track of her surroundings through her Water Qi perception. The good thing with an Elemental Qi Essence was that as the user moved, the domain within which it emitted Elemental Qi too moved accordingly, moving forth like an enclosed bubble.

Thanks to this, she could recover while being able to perceive her surroundings. The fight had become too chaotic as Harmonisers came and went, bringing forth weapons to use while fleeing once their Elemental Qi was expended.

Because of this, she could escape easily. As she ran through the streets, her Water Qi was slowly getting replenished. Even though she was wasting her Water Qi Essence a lot, Re'Kha wasn't concerned. After all, she had enough to last her a lifetime.

Once she had recovered completely, Re'Kha deactivated the Water Qi Essence and placed it within her storage ring, exiting the place where the Water Qi Essence had left quite a lot of Water Qi. As she continued to run past that, she activated her Wind Qi perception, expanding her range as she scoured through the streets.

For the moment, she stopped in place, focusing on the places reflected in her mind as the grey sand world. Soon, she noticed an empty street where a girl was walking through, immersed in her own world.

As Re'Kha opened her eyes, she saw what the Blinded Ghost saw. The moment the Blinded Ghost returned to its shell for a couple of moments to evade a powerful attack, its vision changed to a perspective from within its shell, looking in the same direction the gem on the Tikka jewellery—its shell—faced.

And, as it had been using her eyes all along, Re'Kha was also able to see everything it saw. And through this, she confirmed the identity of the girl that was carrying the Blinded Ghost's shell.

She was in disbelief, rechecking numerous times by comparing the line of sight of the girl to what she perceived from within the shell whenever the Blinded Ghost retreated into it. And all to her shock, she realised to her dismay that the Blinded Ghost's shell was in fact a Tikka jewellery.

"Just what in the world…" Her head spun as her breathing grew ragged. It took some time before Re'Kha could break out of her stupor and concentrate on what she set out to achieve. "It doesn't matter. I still have to destroy it in the end."

Thinking as such, she determined the distance to traverse, noticing that she was only a couple of streets away. Thinking of the ways she could use to damage the Tikka jewellery, Re'Kha picked up two things from her storage ring, a Water Qi Essence, and the needle-shaped Magic Artifact.

This needle was the same thing she had used in the Burkurel Ju Clan's Western Settlement. It was slightly longer than her hand. Moreover, the quantity of Water Qi it could emit was fairly decent. It wasn't the level of Harpen Waves, but at present, Re'Kha needed a mode to attack precisely.

And, this was her best bet in that regard. Having activated the Water Qi Essence, Re'Kha placed it in her pocket. This way, she was roaming around with an advantageous field. Holding the needle-shaped Magic Artifact, she walked on the road, making a turn as she noticed the back of the girl she was targeting.

Re'Kha reduced the range of the Water Qi Essence to only encompass the length of her outstretched arm. This way, as long as the Water Qi from it didn't land on the Blinded Ghost's shell, it wouldn't suffer any damage. And due to it, the Blinded Ghost wouldn't be alerted to arrive at the place to confront her.

Slowly, Re'Kha crept forth, soon arriving behind the girl as she tapped on her shoulder, activating her needle-shaped Magic Artifact. When the girl turned in reflex, Re'Kha thrust forth the needle-shaped Magic Artifact with all her might, slamming it dead centre on the Tikka jewellery's gem.

The abundance of Water Qi the Magic Artifact emitted caused a crack to form on the gem as an alarmed Blinded Ghost appeared next to the girl instantly. Upon seeing the figure of Re'Kha, the Blinded Ghost attacked her with hatred.

There was existing hatred between the two, having injured the other party on equal amounts in many locations. But after stealing her eyes, the Blinded Ghost had lost all interest in Re'Kha, having obtained the highest-quality pair of eyes it had ever witnessed.

That was why when they met the previous time, it didn't attack Re'Kha. After all, there was no longer any use in doing so.

But now, after she had damaged its shell, it became enraged, consuming an eye as it sent a Ghost Qi Palm Projection forth, intending to kill her in one attack.

Upon seeing that her attack only caused a tiny crack, even though she wished to follow up on it, she couldn't do so, left with no other option but to defend against the enraged attacks of the Blinded Ghost. So, she immediately summoned her Pranic Avatar, the Balou, using it to tank the attack while activating her armour. 

The moment it took the Ghost Qi Palm Projection, her Pranic Avatar exploded into dust as all the Water Qi forming it was destroyed. The resultant from the attack slammed into her, causing her to move back by an arm's length. The Water Qi on her armour defended against the remainder of the attack, preventing her from suffering an injury.

Though, she had basically used most of her reserves just to defend against that one attack. And, upon seeing that she survived its strongest attack, the Blinded Ghost prepared another Ghost Qi Palm Projection, intending to attack her again.

Left with no other choice, Re'Kha was just about to take out the cloth banner to tank the second attack when a lightning bolt slammed into the Blinded Ghost. The head Elder—the one who commanded everyone at the start—of the Burfuna Ki Clan landed beside her, speaking with a tone of praise, "Good job on locating its shell."
