Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 215 - 196: A Public Appearance, The Grand and Inescapable Demon Tribulation

Seeing him just leaning to the side, showing no signs of aggression, some people gradually grew bolder.

"Ex... excuse me, may I take a picture?"

A girl with a very kawaii look asked Yi Beidou timidly, her large eyes sparkling.

Yi Beidou lifted his half-lidded eyes and gave a slight nod, not refusing her.

The girl cautiously approached, held her phone up high, and found a good angle that framed both her and Yi Beidou before pressing the shutter button.

CLICK!!

Once the photo was taken, the girl bowed repeatedly in thanks. She then excitedly scurried back to her seat and immediately started editing the picture, ready to post it on her social media account.

He might be a villain, but a photo with a figure like him was more than enough to show off on her social media.

Infamy is a type of fame, after all.

After all, Yi Beidou had become a household name throughout all of Japan overnight.

"Got a pic with the Great Demon King who’s taking Japan by storm! He’s actually really handsome in person and doesn’t seem as vicious as the rumors say!"

she captioned.

The Great Demon King.

This was the nickname that trolls and busybodies on the Japanese internet had given Yi Beidou in the span of a single night.

The other passengers in the train car exchanged glances. Seeing that the girl was unharmed after taking the photo, they grew bolder still. One by one, they raised their phones and began to take pictures; some even started live streaming.

"Great Demon King Donghua Spotted on the Shinkansen!"

"I’m in the Same Train Car as the Legendary Great Demon King?!"

"..."

In an instant, these headlines caused a massive stir across the Japanese internet.

The Great Demon King Yi Beidou appearing on the Shinkansen? Traveling to Tokyo on the bullet train, in plain sight of everyone?

"Make way! Make way!"

Just then, the train guards received the report and rushed over. They intended to disperse the crowd, maintain order, and isolate Yi Beidou.

But just as they neared the car...

Yi Beidou’s half-lidded eyes suddenly snapped open. A terrifying aura instantly erupted from him. As if struck by a massive force, the train guards all collapsed to the ground, not daring to take a single step into the car.

Inside the car, the crowd, which had been buzzing with noise just a moment before, fell utterly silent.

In that instant, they felt as if they weren’t facing a man, but a terrifying, mythical beast from the legends, its gaping, bloody maw wide open.

It was only then that they truly believed: the tall man before them was, without a doubt, the rumored "Great Demon King" who was set to destroy the entire Japan Martial Arts Realm.

’This guy... he’s showing himself so brazenly on the Shinkansen?’

A sharp glint flashed in Beichuan Tian’s eyes.

He understood Yi Beidou’s intentions in an instant.

The man was making a grand, public appearance before all of Japan to make it difficult for them to use any covert tactics. He was forcing their Martial Artists to face him in a fair and open fight.

’The Demon Tribulation arrives in all its grandeur, leaving no place to hide!’

"How long until the train arrives in Tokyo?"

Beichuan Tian asked.

"About four hours," his aide replied.

"Cancel all intermediate stops. Have the train run express to Tokyo. We can’t afford any more complications," Beichuan Tian said in a grim voice.

This, then, was the final countdown until the "Demon Tribulation" descended upon Tokyo.

Yi Beidou had, in effect, announced all of this to the whole of Japan.

"Sir, we’ve just received a report! Many disciples from the Li Mountain Association are on the move. Their target is Tokyo Station!"

Just then, another agent from the Special Investigation Bureau came in to report.
