John, seeing the beast's poison heading towards him, used his Shadow God technique to disappear and reappear beside the beast's head. He swung his hand, covered in Ghost Flame, landing a blow. The flame quickly engulfed the beast's head.
He disappeared again, reappearing away from it. John swung his hand, using the Qi thread to tie up the beast, which thrashed its body, trying to escape the threads. John clenched his teeth, pulling the thread.
His shadow clone began running towards the beast, which continued to thrash, trying to evade the Qi thread. John used his Ghost Flame technique, covering the Qi thread in flames. The beast roared in pain.
The shadow clone reached the beast and leaped up, still holding Jo Lee's sword. It swung the sword, attacking the beast. The sword pierced the beast's flesh, causing it to roar in pain and thrash even more violently.
John clenched his teeth, pulling on the Qi thread, thinking, Damn, to think that it managed to pierce through— He was cut off from his thoughts as the beast spat poison towards him. He quickly disappeared using his Shadow God technique.
His shadow clone, pulling the sword out, was suddenly sent flying by the beast's tail, but still managed to extract the sword.
The beast, bleeding from its injury, watched as John reappeared beside his slowly disappearing shadow clone.
The clone raised its hand, handing the sword to John. Holding the sword, John looked at the beast, its gaze fixed on him.
John, holding the sword in one hand, raised his other hand towards his face. "This has gone on for too long," he said, releasing spiritual energy. "Now it's time to die." The spiritual energy in his hand turned into Ghost Flame, and he charged towards the beast.
