Murim Recurve Chapter 227

Even though he was covered by the gown, his voice, his actions, his petite body, the way he moved, and his signature Lightning Qi Pranic Art, everything allowed the crowd to determine his identity. Upon seeing that he was the Clan Head of the Burfuna Vi Clan, the other Harmonisers with Lightning Qi too took action.
Among all the elements, Lightning Qi was the most effective against the Sha. It was followed by Fire Qi, Metal Qi, and Water Qi. Until now, most of the attackers were those using Lightning Qi. As for the Harmonisers using Fire Qi, all they did till now was unleash Palm Projections.
As they were in the interior of the auction house, using fire in such a place wouldn't bode well for them. And, there was a considerable risk a fire would latch onto the auction house and endanger the treasures in it. So, they controlled themselves.
And, in the case, a fire did latch onto one of the boxes, some of the Water Qi Harmonisers standing nearby quickly doused it. As for the Metal Qi Harmonisers, they were the ones who hadn't taken action till now.
But, they didn't idle. Instead, they formed a perimeter, standing before the auction walls. This way, they planned to prevent the two Sha from escaping from the auction house. After all, unlike all the other three elements, they were able to create solid objects.
And when necessary, they would create constructs that would completely block the Sha's routes, locking it down. The difference between the Metal Qi Harmonisers and the other element Harmonisers was the fact that the constructs they create would remain lightweight to them alone while exhibiting their actual weight to the rest.
The Kite Sha flew for a moment before numerous ribbons shot forth from its body like an energy wave, coiled around the bodies of some Harmonisers before spinning, throwing them all off. But, it had just finished its attack and was preparing for a second attack when it noticed its ribbons were damaged.

The ones it had lifted off had used the opportunity to slam a Palm Projection each into its ribbons, destroying them. A Palm Projection only consumed one unit of Elemental Qi. And thanks to its simplicity and the less Elemental Qi requirement, it was the fastest mode of attack.
So in times of need, every Harmoniser resorted to using a Palm Projection first. And, right at this time, followed by a flash of lightning, three petite figures surrounded it, thrusting lightning blades into the Kite Sha's body.
Their bodies danced as they hacked away at it, severely wounding it while reducing the quantity of Ghost Qi in its body. As its reserves of Ghost Qi fell sharply with every attack, the Kite Sha panicked for a moment, intending to retreat into the ground when it bounced off from the ground.
For, a layer of lightning net covered the ground. The Lightning Qi in it was too dense that it would take severe damage if it tried to forcefully pass through it. The three petite figures wielded two Lightning Blades each and attacked it nonstop.
Moreover, their speeds were beyond a normal Harmoniser wielding the other elements. The Kite Sha was unable to retaliate. And to avoid suffering even more damage, it vanished from the scene. It had retreated into its shell that was positioned somewhere far away.
This was the prime reason killing a Sha was almost impossible. The moment they were at a disadvantage, they would disappear from the scene and retreat into their shell. They can then arrive at the scene of the battle as if they hadn't been trapped in the first place.
They hadn't even taken two breaths as the three petite figures gazed in a certain direction, watching the Kite Sha enter the auction house from there.

"It came from the west. Its shell should probably be somewhere there."
"Let's probe it further."
"We have to hurry. Without our Magic Artifacts, we won't be able to sustain this fight longer."
The three Vi Clan Heads conversed amongst themselves as they chased after the Kite Sha once again. Upon seeing their approach, the Kite Sha retreated into the auction house walls and proceeded towards the ground through it.
Suddenly, more than twenty ribbons emerged from the ground and latched onto an injured Harmoniser, causing him to scream as something within him was stolen. He could only scream with a primal tone as his tongue had been stolen.
As for the Kite Sha, it appeared in the air, now possessing an extra ribbon. All the ribbons grabbed hold of a box and lifted it, throwing it towards the three petite figures, causing them to dodge hurriedly.
The box crashed into a couple of boxes, causing a loud impact. Upon seeing its actions, the three petite figures looked at each other, muttering simultaneously, "That's its primary ability. With every tongue it steals, it forms a new ribbon."
In the meantime, the Serpentine Sha was rowing through the crowd like a train, causing everyone facing it to be sent flying. Its twenty arms were more than enough to fight against a crowd, using its advantage to slam attacks on its foes.
Even if it received some damage in return, thanks to the fear the two Sha induced in everyone, they were replenished by a steady stream of Fear Qi. It was another reason killing a Sha was almost impossible.
Even if they were in a state of near-death, as long as they were supplied with Ghost Qi, they would fully recover. Moreover, in crowded places, they would be replenished even faster. After all, not everyone was exempt from the feeling of fear, including the most hardened warriors.
Even though everyone in the auction house was an elite, the two Sha they were facing weren't ordinary either, but rather had matured. So, they were tremendously powerful opponents, the likes of which they couldn't defeat easily.
Even normally, when an expedition force was created to assault a Sha, there was at least one among them that possessed a Magic Artifact. It was only through this could they stay on the offensive without running out of Elemental Qi.
After all, regular physical attacks cannot even connect with the Sha.
