Forged in Blood and Shadow

John, standing and looking at Jo Lee, said, "I guess you're not as dumb as you look. I'm interested to know if you have a life-saving treasure, like a magical item that could bring you back to life."

Jo Lee looked at John and said, "Why would you think I have such a treasure?"

John smiled and continued, "How am I going to put this? You see..." He paused, then said, "I saw your sister, Mei Lee, is still alive, even after being torn apart. So that makes me wonder if she has some kind of magical item that could bring her back to life. If so, maybe you also have one. So, do you?"

Jo Lee, anger flashing across his face, looked at John, who was still smiling. "Only four people know Mei Lee was killed: Mei Lee herself, me, our father, and the killer. So you must be the bastard that killed my sister!"

Jo Lee quickly moved, appearing beside John, and swung his sword. John simply disappeared, using his Shadow God technique, reappearing on a tree. "You look so angry. If it makes you feel any better, I did kind of feel bad for killing her," John said.

Jo Lee, releasing Qi, swung his sword towards the tree, cutting it down. John quickly jumped off, landing on the ground. Jo Lee quickly approached him, using a Skyfall Sect technique, Cloud Step. It was like he was walking on clouds, swinging his sword.

John dodged it, disappearing using his Shadow God technique, reappearing away from Jo Lee. Jo Lee quickly approached him again, using Cloud Step, but once again, John simply dodged.

"You bastard! Why don't you stop running and fight?" Jo Lee shouted.

John said, "Hey, why don't you just give me the magical treasure, and I will be on my way?"

Jo Lee laughed, smiling. "Fool! Do you think a life-saving artifact is something anyone could possessed? There was only one, and it was a one-time use."

John, looking at Jo Lee, said, "So there's no reason for me to keep you alive, is there?"

Jo Lee laughed. "You might be fast, but you're just at the mid-stage of Foundation Forging. Do you really think you're capable of killing a cultivator at the late-stage of Foundation Forging?"
