"Let's try it out then." Seth approached the sword. Nothing happened, even after he was 1 meter away from it.

"I already ordered the sword spirit to recognize you as its master, don't worry the previous owner won't be able to notice it. Go ahead." With Lexi controlling the situation it was certainly safe. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

Seth grabbed the hilt and with a single pull, the sword was out of the floor and he could even feel the connection with the spirit. A really simple one, indeed, but he could feel its usefulness after holding it.

Slash!

"Good sword! It is really sharp. A pity I don't need these kinds of weapons for now."

Splash!

Off in the distance, next to the waterfall, water splashed sideways and a beautiful back was exposed. A crimson red hair cascading down and fading underneath water.

"Damn!" Seth didn't even wait for another second. After making sure to imprint that beautiful image in his mind, he put the sword on the place it was before and run to the woods. With his impressive speed he was far away in no time.

"Red hair, the only family around with such hair color is the main Blazing Phoenix Sect inheritors. If I cause any trouble now, it would definitely delay my task." Seth used his skills to avoid making any sound while moving away.

After running for 3 minutes or so, he was already far away from the waterfall. Suddenly, he felt some different things happening a bit far on his left.

"Help! Please someone help me!"

Seth heard a voice coming from that direction, but he didn't directly charge to help. Climbing on the tallest tree nearby he checked what was happening.

A flame wolf, higher than an elephant, charging madly, chasing a tiny girl that could fit entirely inside its mouth and be swallowed whole.

It was running super-fast. The fire underneath its paws was burning the environment all around. What made the situation even weirder was that it was not getting any close to the girl. The animal speed was impressive but the girl was running as fast as it was.

"Red hair again? What is this luck?" Seth pondered for a bit and decided to help. Maybe he could get near to his objectives faster if he approached someone from the higher ups.

"Lexi, I'm restrained by now, but with your senses you could guess their cultivation from here, right?"

"The wolf is at the Qi Gathering Realm Late Stage and the girl is… Woahhh! She is stronger than the wolf! Qi Gathering Realm Peak!"

"What? But she appears to be about fourteen years old only."

"Her talent is great. She must be someone important. But, why is she running if she is stronger?"

Seth analyzed the situation and laughed at her naivety. "Ahaha, she is just too young, panicking over a beast like that, just because he is slightly bigger." Leaping from tree to tree he approached fast.

When he was above the wolf, he dropped from up there descending like a lightning.

Kacha! Boom!

The crash was so powerful that the floor split in many cracks, forming a web over a ten-meter area.

The sound of the wolf spine splitting in two impressively could be heard amid all that noise.

Aaaahh! The girl stopped running and almost tripped, her attention was pulled towards the scene that happened. She wanted to know the outcome.

As the dust was lowering, Seth came out unscathed. "Hey young lady, are you alright?"

The girl didn't put a single bit of resistance towards Seth, like he was a good friend of hers she came running and hugged him. "Thank you, big brother! So much!"

'What the fuck, wasn't this too easy?' Seth thought his approach succeeded too easily.

"That wolf was so scary! Buahhh!" After the dust settled, she started to cry.

"It's alright now young lady. The beast is already dead."

The girl looked at the immobile beast on the floor.

"Why are you here in the forest and where are you from?"

"I came with big Sis, we were on our Sect restricted area, but she forbade me from exploring the forest, so I sneaked when she was not paying attention. I just didn't know this place would be so dangerous. Ah! Sorry for my rudeness. I am Huo Yuyin, from Blazing Phoenix Royal clan."

That name and hair color were already more than enough confirmation.

"Big brother, what is your name?" With sparkling eyes, shinning with curiosity, she wanted to know more about Seth.

"I'm Seth Caesar."

"Big brother Seth you are so strong, that wolf was super scary but, in the end, it couldn't take even a single hit from you."

"Ahahah, you're flattering me. Can I call you Yuyin?"

"Sure!"

"Yuyin, that beast wasn't that strong, ok!?" f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

It is funny how she ended up running from an opponent weaker than her. She must be inexperienced on these matters, although she was stronger than most cultivators four years older than her.

Seth was going to continue their dialog when suddenly he felt something dangerous approaching from behind. It was something directed at him, it completely disregarded the little girl.

Seth quickly jumped to the side and started using the trees in the area behind him as a shield while he kept changing directions to avoid the incoming danger.

In the place he was just seconds before a laser beam made of highly compressed fire passed through, burning every little thing on its way.

Swoosh! Hiss! Bang!

Keeping up with his high speed the fire beam kept destroying trunks, trees and alike on the path.

Finally reaching Seth, when it was half weaker already. Still contained a very powerful force.

Seth summoned all the Qi he currently had, directing it to his hands and blocked the incoming fire.

"Get away from my Sister!" An angered goddess fell from above circled with fire and her silhouette was so beautiful that Seth almost forgot he was facing a life and death situation.

"Big Sis Stop! He is not an enemy!" Huo Yuyin screamed while looking at her sister that was preparing to attack again.

Her sister landed near her hurriedly checking Yuyin condition. After seeing she was alright, she stopped the barrage.

Boom!

"No! Big Brother Seth!"

The first barrage of fire was already incoming towards Seth and it was impossible to stop. A loud explosion destroyed a part of the jungle completely, burning the environment around it.

"No big Sis, you have to save him! He helped me out with that wolf lying over there!" She pointed at a dead carcass.

Her big sister got a bit pale realizing she made a hurried judgement. It couldn't be helped though. Matters concerning her little sister, she would often be overprotective. 'Did I make a mistake?'

Huo Yuyin and her sister went to the place the explosion occurred. After witnessing the destruction that happened, they almost lost their hope of finding anyone alive.

Cough! Cough! Bang!

A Tree trunk fell to the side, revealing Seth weak body that was previously leaning on it.

"Are you alright?" Huo Yuyin was the first to approach, trying to help him.

"I'm ok. Just feeling a bit weaker after spending so much Qi."

"I'm sorry, I thought you were attacking my little sister." A beautiful voice apologized.

Seth looked at the owner of the new voice. Red hairs, a fiery red shade, as if constantly burning.. A flawless pale face, big and beautiful red eyes and to top it off, a fiery personality that would attack first and then ask questions.
