Murim Recurve

Chapter 228 - Decisive Beheading

"Aargh!" A Harmoniser screamed in pain as the Serpentine Sha grabbed hold of his arms. Then, it activated its ability, instantly stealing his arms, using it to condense another pair of arms on its back.

This way, it replenished the number of arms on itself. And, followed by a burst of chaotic laughter, its body began to balloon in size, growing bigger and bigger to the extent resembling the massive cloud-like forms they had at the start while entering the auction.

"Step Back! They are using their true forms now." The three petite figures bellowed simultaneously, now serious as they stared at the Kite Sha that had condensed 100 ribbons. Its main body alone was four times the size of a person.

Similarly, the Serpentine Sha too now possessed 100 arms, or fifty pairs of arms. This was its maximum limit. But now, having unleashed its true power, it was almost unstoppable.

More than 20 Harmonisers unleashed their Palm Projections simultaneously, watching the Serpentine Sha use twice the number of hands to stop them, barely suffering damage.

"We can't go on like this. We need to use our Magic Artifacts!" Numerous Harmonisers belonging to the Elemental Clans shouted. They had been attacking constantly from the start but hadn't made any significant damage.

Moreover, they were running out of Elemental Qi to use. After all, at the peak of the Harmoniser Realm, a Harmoniser possessed 100 units of Elemental Qi. And, if they used all to unleash Palm Projections, they were only capable of 100 attacks.

It wasn't much, considering their opponents were able to constantly recover. Moreover, not everyone had that much Elemental Qi at their disposal. Even the Clan Heads didn't possess 100 units of Elemental Qi, not to mention the others.

Just consider Re'Kha for example. Despite her talents of being able to comprehend three units of Water Qi per year, she only possessed 12 units of Water Qi. And considering her talent, she would have originally required 33 years to reach the peak as a Harmoniser.

For the general elites in the auction house, they would at most have talent enough to comprehend two units of Elemental Qi per year. So, it wasn't easy for them to spam attacks without considering their Elemental Qi expenditure.

If they used any stronger attacks, they would swiftly run out of Elemental Qi.

The moment the two Sha unleashed their full power, everyone present came to realise that they had arrived with a certain objective at hand, linking to the fact that one of the treasures might have lured them over.

And now that the targets have become big, the Fire Qi Harmonisers began to attack, slamming Palm Projections at the Serpentine Sha.

All the Lightning Qi Harmonisers targeted the Kite Sha while the Fire Qi Harmonisers targeted the Serpentine Sha.

One of the Fire Qi Harmonisers looked around before jumping onto a box, summoning his Pranic Avatar. The moment it appeared, the Pranic Avatar condensed Fire Qi in its mouth and unleashed a column of fire towards the Serpentine Sha, causing it to scream from the attack.

Immediately using the chance, a couple more Harmonisers too unleashed the same Pranic Avatar, unleashing their breath attacks. The three of them were from the Burmat Ka Clan. Among the three cities in their state, only the Elemental Clans in Burmat City had Pranic Avatars capable of unleashing breath attacks.

It was because they had three foundations, as Elemental Clans serving the capital of their state. As for the Elemental Clans in the other two cities, they only had one foundation, unable to unleash breath attacks.

It was the reason they hadn't summoned their Pranic Avatars yet. It was just a waste of Elemental Qi in this situation. Unlike the Palm Projections, the breath attacks of the three Pranic Avatars were condensed using 10 units of Fire Qi.

So, they packed a punch, heaving damaging the Serpentine Sha, causing almost a dozen of its arms to melt as the Ghost Qi within was annihilated. And right at this time, three people jumped onto the three Harmonisers from the Burmat Ka Clan, unleashing their strongest attacks.

"Die!"

They seemed intent to kill the three Harmonisers. But, before their attacks slammed into the other party, their heads rolled on the ground. The three Burmat Ka Clan Harmonisers were startled, turning around to see just what had happened.

One of the three who had killed the attackers took off her gown, revealing her face. She was the auctioneer lady. She then raised her hand before clenching her fist. Immediately, numerous screams echoed throughout the auction house as heads rolled one after another.

The Royal Clan had finally taken action. Thanks to the tip, the auctioneer lady had been monitoring the suspicious people from the start. And, she noticed how they weren't targeted by the two Sha. Moreover, they continuously shuttled to and fro in the auction house, but not once did they launch any attacks. Rather, they seemed to be positioning themselves behind the strongest Harmonisers, intending to sneak attack them.

So, she no longer hesitated, immediately informing everyone tailing after the suspicious people to take action. She immediately arrived behind one of them, erupting with her strongest attack. And, to ensure she attacked accurately, she used Metal Qi, condensing a large sword that she swung.

The moment it landed on the opponent's neck, most of the Metal Qi within her sword was annihilated. It seemed the suspicious person had layered himself with something that was like an Elemental Qi armour.

But having expected something like to happen, she had used Metal Qi. So, even after most of the Metal Qi in it was annihilated, the sword was undamaged. Even though she swung it effortlessly, it had considerable weight.

And adding onto its sharpness, it cut through the opponent's defence and cleaved his head off. Everyone else did similarly, annihilating all the suspicious individuals in the auction house.

The auctioneer lady then pointed at the two Sha, "We just killed the individuals that had lured them here. Now…"

"Kill them!"
