He had chosen a moment when everyone least expected, when everybody had thought he was stunned from Xia Fan’s tactic of threatening him with a nuclear bomb and did not dare make any rash movements, right at the time Xia Fan’s smile receded.

It was by no means a fluke that the Demon Kings were able to reach the position they presently held. In ages past, there had once been countless Demons who had lived in the Lower Realm, with many experts who possessed combat strength at the king level, yet out of them all, Harikane had purposely chosen only Stanley and twelve others to be his companions. That was all due to their abilities and caliber.

The core of the problem here was not the nuclear bomb, but Xia Fan. At the root of everything that transpired was the human Xia Fan, and only by killing him could Stanley truly resolve the issue!

As such, Stanley was willing to take the risk. Assuming the fifty-fifty chance that he would be caught in the explosion, Stanley flicked his wrist lightly, instantly unleashing all his Demonic Energy in that instant.

Stanley believed that no matter how quick Xia Fan was, there was no way he could be faster than light, right?

Only Xia Fan’s father, his elder brother, and all the other peak experts in the Skywing Clan were able to reach near lightspeed, and a special child like Xia Fan had only inherited a portion of his family’s speed. At this very moment, the limit of his speed was only 50,000 meters per second.

The so-called Demonic Energy referred to the Dark-type special abilities, and the Demon Kings possessed the most exceptional mastery of that Dark Demonic Energy. Normally, someone who had reached the position of a Demon King would also have a second or third special ability beyond the Dark-type power.

The Scarlet Blaze Demon King Stanley’s special abilities were Darkness and Fire. He immediately unleashed a beam of light that looked like a huge dragon. Blackness and fiery red intermingled with each other, charging right for Xia Fan’s chest. This attack had been so abruptly sent out that no one managed to react in time.

At the same time, Stanley shot out from his throne, hurtling right toward Xia Fan. This was his second trump card. If his dark beam did not kill Xia Fan, Stanley would still be able to engage in a melee fight.

Nevertheless, Xia Fan had the advantage when it came to speed. In fact, he was not only faster than everyone present in the physical sense, even his reaction time was much quicker than others, and far surpassed that of the common man. It was just that his reaction utterly shocked everyone.

Everyone watched as Xia Fan grabbed Traveling Buddha, who was right beside him, and used him like a cannonball. He threw him right at Demon King Stanley, and Traveling Buddha even looked like he already knew what Xia Fan was about to do. Flooding his body with golden light and raising his two arms, he shot out a weaker but more radiant beam of his own toward Stanley.

In the next moment, a full blown battle exploded. Traveling Buddha was using his Battle Buddha’s Golden Light and body to counter Demon King Stanley, while Xia Fan abruptly accelerated, arcing along a path toward Demon King Stanley’s throne.

*Boom*

The Battle Buddha’s Golden Light and the beam of Darkness and Fire collided, canceling each other out. Next, Traveling Buddha and Demon King Stanley slammed together, and a loud explosion thundered out.

Though Traveling Buddha had gotten a high-speed boost from Xia Fan’s throw, the difference in power was too much. His entire person promptly shot away, crashing into the wall behind him. Fortunately, Scarlet Blaze Demon King Stanley had also lost his target due to Traveling Buddha’s interference. Not only did he fail to hit Xia Fan, Xia Fan had even managed to circle around behind him!

*Whoosh*

A skinny figure retreated safely after carrying away Nikai.

“M*TH*RF*CK*R!” Traveling Buddha cursed as he unsteadily got back to his feet. Blood was pouring down his nose, bloodying his dirty sleeve when he wiped it away.

That was when Dresden pointed toward Stanley, “This demon tried to use Nikai to threaten us just now, but now that Nikai’s saved, brothers, let’s kill him together!”

Every able-bodied warrior turned into killer gods right then and there!

That was probably an outcome that Demon King Stanley had not expected to face. The team of Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha not only had flawless coordination, they were also willing to sacrifice themselves for the other. Traveling Buddha knew from the beginning that Xia Fan would surely use him like a cannonball, and he had no qualms about it.

The two were not just friends. The trust between Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha was already beyond simple friendship, and was even greater than many brothers with actual blood relation!

“So that is the tactic you’re using,” Demon King Stanley murmured. “The two of you are like day and night, like a warrior and their shadow. Each with different specialties and abilities that allowed you two to cover each other’s shortcomings.

“Such outstanding cooperation is something that I’ve not seen in many years. It’s just too bad that today might be the last time you will work in concert like this. That’s because in that moment we collided just now, I buried a seed in your body. A Demon Seed. Very soon, there will be a huge change, and you’ll turn into my underling in the end.”

When Stanley was done speaking, he realized that there was a look of disbelief on everyone from Xia Fan to Dongfang He, so he frowned slightly, “Oh, so none of you know. This man is actually different from you. He actually doesn’t have Demon blood in him.

“If he does, how would I have so easily planted the seed in him?”

“This is akin to how everything under the sky mutually restrains each other, negative to the positive. If I had placed my seed in you all, who already have Demon blood coursing through your veins, your blood would have produced a strong resistance, and my Seed would be ineffective.

“But he is like a blank piece of paper. He did not have anybody else’s Bloodline from those people above, nor did he have our Demonic bloodline. He is just a simple human, which was why I merely needed to break that golden light that protected him. It doesn’t even have to be too big either, just a small hole so I could insert my Seed. That alone is enough to catalyze and turn him into a pure-blooded Demon like me.

“Isn’t this very interesting? Do you want him to stay here, or be brought back to Subduing Demon City? If you take him back, he will turn into a demon, and all of you will still have to kill him yourself, because Subduing Demon City cannot contain a pure-blood demon.

“Honestly, I’m really looking forward to what choice you make. Speedy rascal, it looks like you’ve got a good relationship with him, almost like brothers. When he completely demonifies, why don’t you deal with him with your own hands.”

Xia Fan naturally knew that the Runes on Traveling Buddha’s arm were fake. In order for them to slip into Subduing Demon City, and in order for him to continue being Xia Fan’s partner, Traveling Buddha had faked his Demonic bloodline, something only Traveling Buddha and a handful of City Lords had been aware of.

Silence. Xia Fan placed Nikai down on the ground and no longer spared her another glance.

Despite the fact Nikai was a young lady who would fascinate any normal male, and was easily the most beautiful woman Xia Fan had ever seen in his life, his head was currently blank. He could not feel the warmth of her against his body; all he could do was stare fixedly at Traveling Buddha’s chubby charred face.

“Is it true?” Xia Fan asked.

Traveling Buddha scratched his head and furrowed his brow. “Don’t listen to his nonsense. How would I turn into a Demon?”

“We’re brothers. Please. Don’t lie to me,” Xia Fan’s voice was an octave lower than usual.

Traveling Buddha was startled. He could never forget that whenever someone said that they were both friends, Xia Fan would always raise his head and proudly declare, “No, Traveling Buddha is my brother.”

There were no lies between brothers.

Traveling Buddha grimaced and sighed, nodding, “When we collided just now, I did feel some discomfort on my shoulder, like I was stung by a bee. But what are you worried about… It’s not like you don’t know that this Buddha doesn’t care about anything.”

There was no way to control his sadness. Traveling Buddha should not have been here in the first place. He had just married Hidden Water and ought to be accompanying his wife and child.

But Traveling Buddha had chosen to abandon the pregnant Hidden Water and come out here and wander with Xia Fan. Because while Ashen Moon was relatively safe, his good brother Xia Fan still had yet to locate his father and family. Traveling Buddha had felt it was a debt he owed Xia Fan.

But now, with a Demon Seed planted in him, Traveling Buddha would be turning into a Demon. There was a very high possibility that Xia Fan would have no choice but to kill him with his own hands!
