John, seeing something shining in Jo Lee's remains, bent over and picked it up. He flicked it, getting rid of the blood, and saw it was a sect token. John smiled. I almost burned it. Lucky me.
John then turned towards Jo Lee's sword lying on the ground. He picked it up and continued, I should get rid of this as well. John stood up and tossed both the sword and Jo Lee's token behind him. They fell, sinking into his shadow.
John's eyes fixed on Jo Lee's remains. He conjured Ghost Flame in his hand and said, "I didn't forget about you.
If you come back to life, you might ruin my plans." He swung his hand, sending the black flame towards Jo Lee's remains. The flame quickly engulfed them, and a few seconds later, there was nothing left of Jo Lee.
John thought, Now I'm done. Let's see what this secret realm can offer. He quickly jumped up, landing on a nearby tree, and started leaping from tree to tree, swiftly moving through the forest.
After a while, he stopped, looking down. He saw a spiritual beast. A spiritual beast at the early level of Foundation Forging, John thought.
He jumped down from the tree, swinging his hand for a blow, his hand covered in Ghost Flame.
He punched the head of the beast. The Ghost Flame engulfed the creature, burning it alive with eerie intensity. Soon, there was only a small, round, blue ball left.
John thought, The Ghost Flame technique is stronger than I thought.
It's even able to burn a spiritual beast at the early Foundation Forging stage alive with ease. John looked at the blue round ball, picked it up, and thought, I guess this is the beast's core.
