Fiery

The many people watched in awe as the Phoenix flew down next to Alex.

"You came," Alex said, finally relaxing a little. 

"Of course," Scarlet said. "You made it sound so important after all. If I let you die after all the help you've given me, my Inner Demon would haunt me till the end of time."

Alex smiled, simply happy that she was here.

"But, it seems your enemy is more problematic than I imagined," she said as she turned to the sky where the slightly singed Zhu Shaofan flew up. "A Saint Transformation 4th realm cultivator… this is annoying."

Alex looked towards her. "What's your cultivation base?" he asked. He found it hard to determine her exact cultivation as she seemed far stronger than him at the moment.

"Saint Transformation 1st realm," she said.

Alex was surprised. 'So strong,' he thought. But, it was still weaker than Zhu Shaofan. "Can you beat him?" he asked.

"Depends," Scarlet said.

"On?" Alex asked.
