Murim Recurve

Re'Kha hid behind a tree as she looked at the carriage moving towards her. She intended to first trap the carriage, preventing it from escaping the place. Second, she planned to quickly knock out the three people on it so that the Blinded Ghost wouldn't be able to control them to hold its shell and flee.

If one of them managed to do that, then her trap would be useless. After all, her trap was the field full of Water Qi that gave her home ground advantage. While, every moment the Blinded Ghost was in this place, it would take damage.

Moreover, its shell too would be taking damage. So, as long as she ensured its shell was trapped in this place, it would eventually be destroyed. That was her plan. And, as the carriage approached her, she hid behind the tree, tracking the carriage through her Water Qi perception.

And, once it passed by, she began to push the tree, seeing that it wasn't budging easily. Craning her hand backward, she concentrated Water Qi to her palm, lashing out as she unleashed a Palm Projection, hitting the tree, causing it to tumble on the road, blocking it completely.

At the same time, the Yali too did the same, causing the carriage driver to pull the reins hurriedly, barely managing to stop the carriage. The horses neighed, alerting the two people within. For a moment, all three individuals in the carriage were afraid that they had been targeted by a bandit group.

"What happened?" The girl's grandfather peeked out in alarm, unable to see anyone in his surroundings as he looked at the carriage driver.

"Our front and back are blocked by trees. We cannot escape," The carriage driver trembled with fear as he said, afraid that he would lose his life.

"Grandpa, what happened?" The girl woke up and rubbed her head, asking groggily.

"It's nothing, return to your sleep." Her grandfather patted her head, looking determined to protect her even if he lost his life.

'Nice!' Re'Kha punched the air as she held Harpen Waves in her hands, sprinting towards the carriage immediately, unwilling to give them time to escape.

But, no sooner did she begin to sprint did her eyes widen in shock, disbelieved at what she was witnessing. The Yali was hovering in the air as it condensed a massive sphere of water in its mouth and shot it towards the carriage, destroying it with one hit.

The Water Qi breath attack killed everyone, including the horses, not giving them any moment to escape or plead for their lives. It was a decisive attack, rending their lives instantly.

Upon seeing that, Re'Kha stumbled to a pause, shocked as she was unable to react. She hadn't expected the head Elder to take such a vicious action. They were innocent people who were only trying their best to survive in this harsh world.

Killing them just like that wasn't something a respected person like the head Elder should do. Though, a moment later, even if she didn't like it, the reason for his action resounded in her mind. She too was a member of an Elemental Clan. Therefore, she was also taught the ideology and thought process used by the head Elder.

As he had seen the girl in Burfuna City carry the Blinded Ghost's shell and tried her best to protect it, he knew that it was able to influence their minds to a certain extent. And, she had lost her eyes to the Blinded Ghost, one of the prerequisites to be controlled by it.

He wasn't sure yet if the Blinded Ghost was able to control Re'Kha, a Harmoniser. And, upon seeing the difference in wavelength of the Ghost Qi in the eyes of the two, he judged that Re'Kha wouldn't be controlled.

Besides, the one controlled was a young girl, not a grown-up like Re'Kha. And now, the girl within the carriage was the same as the one in Burfuna City. And, as the Blinded Ghost's shell landed in her hands, it meant she too was under its control.

So, if they fought in the same manner as before, the girl might escape with its shell. And, that would make their preparations useless. All along, Re'Kha had been informing him about all the details through the Yali.

So, the head Elder knew precisely what he had to do. Even in the case, Re'Kha managed to knock the three people unconscious, there was still a risk that they would wake up during the battle. Or, the Blinded Ghost might be able to forcefully wake them up.

After all, the girl in the postal office had done exactly that, even though she got knocked unconscious by Re'Kha. Having observed it, the head Elder judged it was too risky.

After all, if they manage to wake up, they will serve as a source of Fear Qi for the Blinded Ghost, causing it to recover. Moreover, in times of necessity, it can steal the eyes of the grandfather and the carriage driver, giving it enough ammunition to launch four more Ghost Qi Palm Projections.

And, if it did manage to escape from this place and hid, the consequences would be disastrous. After all, the Blinded Ghost had already reached maturity. So, it was a walking disaster. Tens of thousands of lives would be lost to it in the future.

To ensure there wouldn't be any unnecessary risks, the head Elder had taken such drastic action. Re'Kha gritted her teeth, unable to refute his action, having no other choice but to activate her Harpen Waves and charge towards the carriage wreckage.

Followed by a flicker, the figure of the Blinded Ghost manifested, looking angry. The series of damage it suffered, and the damage inflicted on its shell by Re'Kha prevented it from sensing the area with Water Qi immediately, causing it to suffer a major setback now.

And, the moment it appeared, the Yali shot another Water Qi breath attack towards it. Thanks to the Water Qi-rich environment, the breath attack was amplified, heading straight towards the Blinded Ghost's shell.
