Ghost Qi Hand Projection!
The moment she saw it form, Re'Kha understood from where the Blinded Ghost had managed to create its Ghost Qi Palm Projection. It was through her.
Using the connection between them, Re'Kha was able to spy on its position. And on the other hand, the Blinded Ghost was able to learn her Pranic Arts and master it.
And in its hands, unleashed after it consumed an eye, the power behind the Pranic Art was staggering. Until now, just its Ghost Qi Palm Projections alone were terrifying enough. It wasn't easy to defend against.
And now, it had condensed a Ghost Qi Hand Projection. And, if it did possess the same traits as her Hand Projection, then the Blinded Ghost was able to use it continuously.
At the same time this thought emerged in her mind, the Yali and the Punou too thought the same, immediately shooting forth their breath attacks onto the Blinded Ghost. After losing its shell—the Tikka jewellery—and making the eyes embedded on it its shell, the Blinded Ghost lost the ability to teleport instantaneously.
And now, the only pair of eyes on it were those belonging to Re'Kha, ones that it made into its shell.
Re'Kha opened her storage space and pulled out the cloth banner, intending to use it as the two Pranic Avatars sprinted towards the Blinded Ghost, intending to dodge its attacks while charging their breath attacks.
The Blinded Ghost punched once, smashing through the first volley of breath attacks. The Ghost Qi Hand Projection curled into a fist and punched the Punou first, sending it flying back like a pebble kicked by a person.
It retracted its hand, pulling back its Ghost Qi Hand Projection just like a Harmoniser. As it watched the Yali arrive near it, it entered the ground while punching forth with its hand. The Ghost Qi Hand Projection slammed right into the Yali, sending it flying away. Blood splashed out in torrents that eventually dissolved into Water Qi—since its body was condensed using Water Qi.

The Yali's breath attack only fell on the ground and formed a massive crater. The Blinded Ghost seeped out from the ground when a breath attack flew towards it. It was unleashed by the Punou that just managed to get up.
Even though a large section of its stomach had caved in, it was still able to attack. Using the Ghost Qi Hand Projection, the Blinded Ghost relaxed its hold, using the palm of its Hand Projection to slap the breath attack away.
Even though its speed of action was normal, but as the Ghost Qi Hand Projection covered the same angle of attack at the same time while amplified by the distance of its reach, it was almost ten times faster.
So, the force with which it hit the breath attack had multiplied. Though, the Ghost Qi Hand Projection too seemed unstable, as if it would dissipate any moment. Upon seeing that, the Blinded Ghost morphed its body, taking on the appearance of Re'Kha. The only difference was the fact that it was slightly taller than her.
The moment its appearance changed, its Ghost Qi Hand Projection condensed even more, becoming stronger than before. The Blinded Ghost flew towards the Punou, evading its attacks before using the Hand Projection to grasp its head, clenching with all its strength, shattering it.
The Punou's body broke down into Water Qi, dying from the attack. Another breath attack slammed into it from behind, sending it crashing into the ground. The Yali limped as it got up, barely managing to move when the Blinded Ghost flew to the sky and zoomed towards it, smashing its body with the Hand Projection.
It continued to pummel the Yali in rage, splashing blood while the crunching sounds of something shattering continued to echo through the surroundings. Finally, it unleashed an attack with all its strength, killing the Yali, causing its body to dissipate into Water Qi.

But, only now did it notice a certain cloth wrapped around its body. Something flew, flashing around, almost undiscoverable as the Water Qi in the surroundings was close to approaching the saturation point.
The ends of the cloth were wrapped around its Ghost Qi Hand Projection as the blue radiance vanished. But, before the Blinded Ghost could free itself, it looked with shock as the Ghost Qi in its body was being siphoned into the cloth at a rapid pace, causing it to become weak immediately.
And, as the Ghost Qi in its body was being absorbed, the spiritual form of the cloth condensed into a headless body with a pair of hands. Immediately, it began to attack the Blinded Ghost, allured by all the Ghost Qi in it.
It was the Cloth Banner that Re'Kha had taken from the Withered Courtyard. Upon every interval when it accumulated some Ghost Qi, Re'Kha destroyed that using Water Qi. And, this happened continuously, so much so that the cloth banner was getting desperate to accumulate Ghost Qi.
After that, it was sealed in the storage space, surrounded by Elemental Qi Essence. Even the tinge of Fear Qi it could siphon from the five vials in the storage space would be eradicated at regular intervals by Re'Kha every time she checked its development.
So, now that it obtained a chance, it didn't wish to relent and attacked the Blinded Ghost with a frenzied rush. It didn't even leave the Ghost Qi Hand Projection behind.
Angered, the Blinded Ghost punched with its hand, making the Hand Projection move forward, tearing off the piece of cloth banner constricting it. But, despite suffering damage to its shell, the cloth banner's spiritual form didn't relent, rather attacking the Blinded Ghost with increased fervour.
And, as time passed, it was getting stronger. It seemed its property was to absorb Ghost Qi from all sources, including fellow Sha. Unwilling to lose to it, the Blinded Ghost used its methods, cutting and tearing off the cloth banner bit by bit, watching its spiritual form take critical damage every time this happened.
Finally, as its Hand Projection dissipated, it tore the cloth banner through its centre, turning it into two strips before cutting it horizontally into numerous sections, further dicing it up into bits. Followed by a sorrowful howl akin to a child's, the cloth banner's spiritual projection dissipated.

It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected. A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time. If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”. My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!
