As the saying goes, word gets around.
It only took a few days for the incident at the Fragrant Pavilion to become the talk of the town.
Barbarians! The kind who drink blood and eat raw flesh, with the strength of bulls and tigers!
"Hey! Did you hear? They say he was the number one general under the Barbarian King! The Red King killed him in the blink of an eye!"
"Nonsense! I was secretly watching from outside the door. That Barbarian looked like a young tiger! The whole building shook when he lifted his leg, that's how fierce he looked! And then you know what happened? The Red King blew a single breath, and the Barbarian just died!"
"You're lying! My uncle is a Chef at the Fragrant Pavilion, and he told me what really happened. What 'single breath'? The Red King just glanced at him! Just one look! The Barbarian's eyes rolled back, his legs went stiff, and—holy crap—he was gone!"
The tales of the Red King grew more and more legendary with each telling.
