Feng Huang was obviously surprised to see Hao Xuan appear out of nowhere but not enough to react in any other way. Instead, he looked around in confusion, "You are here alone?"
Hao Xuan wiped the blood off his face before getting back to his feet.
"Let them go. I'll answer all the questions you ha-"
"Usually when you humans come to face me there are a few more with you. This is the first time a 'hero' has appeared alone."
Hao Xuan went silent, pondering the meaning of his words.
"A hero? You have done this before?"
"I have," Feng Huang nodded openly, "The place where I come from, every few decades some humans show up on a quest to kill the great demon that resides in their mountains. It's always the same thing but they all die a meaningless death and then a generation later the new party shows up. But that won't be the case this time. This matter has nothing to do with you, leave here to live another day."
