Even a Buddha could still get angry, not to mention that Demon King Stanley was a Demon. The head of his mount had been tossed to the center of the great hall, blood still flowing from its stump. It looked no different from a pig’s head that someone had brusquely chopped off. Stanley was sighing repeatedly, his gaze turning cold.

“Revenge begets revenge,” Xia Fan said. “You’re just making it sound like Flame Soul only has just one son. If it was not Flame Soul’s son who had died but the two of us, does that mean our fathers ought to come and take revenge?

“Don’t think just because you’re good with a few words means you can claim the high ground to act gentlemanly and reasonable. That might be effective on others, but you can spare me all that superfluous talk.

“I was the one who killed Flame Soul’s son. I was also the one who killed Flame Soul. Now the ball is in your court. After all, I am not the sort that will not pull out weeds, roots and all. If you don’t die, who knows when you will secretly take revenge on me, which is why I will only sleep soundly after seeing your head hit the floor.”

!!

This…

Everyone was flabbergasted. Xia Fan was taunting a Demon King! Was he not being far too presumptuous and arrogant?!

But anyone could tell Xia Fan had done it intentionally. He was not a fool, so why would he seek to draw the ire of Stanley? That did not seem like something a smart person would do.

Instantly, Jia Yuntian’s eyes shone. He saw how Stanley was giving Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha a stare of death, and in doing so, was treating Nikai beside him like air, no longer paying her any attention.

Thus, Jia Yuntian finally understood Xia Fan’s line of thinking. Stanley was holding onto Nikai, which was essentially him threatening everyone’s weakest point. Xia Fan planned to draw the Demon King’s firepower all to himself, so that the others would get a chance to save Nikai!

Glancing at Xia Fan again, Jia Yuntian’s eyes were filled with envy and admiration. To risk himself all for the sake of saving Nikai, pulling the Demon King’s ire toward him… He ought to be the one doing something so cool. If Nikai were to learn of such a thing, she would surely be so touched that after everything was resolved, it would not matter that she was the fiancee of the inheritor of the Dongfang Clan. The prettiest woman in Subduing Demon City would very well belong to Jia Yuntian!

Still, the man standing in front of Stanley treating the head of Flame Soul like a soccer ball was not Jia Yuntian. Instead, it was the man whom nobody had an eye on: Xia Fan, who had managed to stand out from everyone by being a true man’s man!

“Hahahaha!” Stanley let out a raucous laugh, “All these years that I’ve spent reading, philosophizing, and cultivating myself… You’re the first one that could make me so angry!

“Alright. Whether I see it from the angle of a master or as a friend, I feel compelled to kill you, otherwise I would really be disappointing my moniker as a Demon King.

“Humans can’t be too arrogant. It’s a good thing you met me, because if it was any of the other fourteen of us, you would already be dead. Yet here I am, letting you live until now, so you can say what you wish to say.”

Fourteen?

Everyone was confused. Weren’t there only thirteen Demon Kings?

Harikane, Nafa, Chevy,Tigliani, Bresca… These names were all very familiar, written in textbooks. Even a three-year-old from Subduing Demon City could recite their names by heart. But now Stanley said that there were actually fourteen of them?

Seeing him suppress his emotions right now, he must have said some nonsense as a result of being so completely agitated by Xia Fan. Were there really fourteen Demon Kings? Or was it all just a gaffe said when emotions were high?

Everyone was shocked, but several seconds later, everything changed. Xia Fan stunned everyone again with his crazy methods.

Everyone watched as Xia Fan lightly brushed his finger on his spatial ring and took out a silver detonator.

Nobody knew what model the detonator was, but there was a yellow light blinking on it repeatedly, indicating that it was armed and ready to detonate at any time. All Xia Fan needed to do was lightly push the button and an explosion would ensue.

Stanley wrinkled his brow and shook his head. “Are you kidding? Are you planning to use a remote detonator to threaten me, a Demon King?

“I’ve already acknowledged you as an opponent, since you’re the one who killed Flame Soul. But now, I feel that you’re just an arrogant clown. Against an enemy at my rank, you choose not to draw a weapon, but a bomb? That just says your mind might be addled.”

Xia Fan flashed him that habitual smile of his, so radiant and bright that it figuratively warmed the gloomy and cold Demon Palace slightly.

“I’m fine, but your brain might really have problems the moment I push down on this button,” Xia Fan said.

“I don’t see why,” Stanley snapped somewhat impatiently.

“Listen to my deduction first. Here in the lower level of your Demon Palace, there’s a metal chamber that you used to be reborn. Beneath the three chambers hides a nuclear fusion reactor that supplies the chambers with constant energy.

“At the moment, that fusion reactor has been refitted to become a bomb. With a press of this button, your Demon Palace will no longer exist. No matter how powerful you are, a nuclear blast will surely injure you, and the Domain outside will also be shattered. When that time comes, Cotillard, Lu Tai, Calvinson… All of them will rush over and fight with you to the death. There’s no way you can flee now that you don’t have Flame Soul by your side.”

“That’s impossible!” Stanley retorted. “How could you easily refit a reactor into a bomb? That’s a major project that would waste plenty of time and energy. Do you treat me as a fool?”

Xia Fan was still smiling, except the corners of his lips were grinning even wider than before, making him look somewhat sinister.

“I’m sorry, Demon King Stanley, but I’m a Speedster.

“What you call a major project is nothing but work that can be accomplished in a blink of an eye to a Speedster like me. Furthermore, I’ve studied mechatronics and machinery aside from being a Speedster, learning nuclear physics and every other possible skill that you could possibly name.

“You find it unbelievable? I think so as well. But it’s just too bad that in this world, speed allows you to do whatever you want!”

The suave and gentlemanly Stanley was gone. He got up in a fit of rage and shouted loudly at Xia Fan, “Even if you’re a Speedster, the moment the fusion bomb is triggered, you have no way of fleeing the blast, either!”

Xia Fan nonchalantly waved the detonator in hand, “That’s not for certain. Haven’t I told you that I’ve learned plenty of skills? It’s very easy to create a safety corner. The moment I trigger the explosion, I’ll duck into the safety corner and wait for the blast to subside before coming out. This is a directional nuclear explosion; if you’ve studied the seventh volume of high-energy physics, and understand the Energy Field Hedging theorem, then you know what I mean.”

This sinister b*s*t*rd…

Stanley was stumped. If that detonator in Xia Fan’s hand could trigger the explosion of two bombs at the same time, at the right angle and time, then he could indeed form a safety corner as a result of the clashing energies from the blasts. Only Xia Fan had knowledge of where this safety corner lay, and with how quick he moved, not only would Demon King Stanley be unable to catch up, he would also have to withstand the brunt of the fusion explosion!

Given the cultivation of a Demon King, the explosion would not be able to kill Stanley, but it would crucially result in the Domain around the Demon Palace breaking. At that point, Carl Vinson and all the others up on the surface of the ocean would be able to rush over immediately, and without Flame Soul, Demon King Stanley would not be able to get away. He would end up dead at the hands of the humans outside!

Stanley’s mind was racing, and he could hardly care about Nikai right now. With his life or death at stake, only a fool would still be concerned about a woman. The only person he wanted to deal with now was just Xia Fei, that smiling rascal!
