Darkspine Forest

The young man saw the anger in Alex's eyes and began showing fear. "I- i- I can't tell you," he said. "I—"

His voice cut off mid-sentence as something else happened to his body. At the same time, both Alex and Fang Yuxie realized what was happening.

The young Saint was about to detonate his body in the middle of the room. 

Fang Yuxie put up a defensive technique around herself and quickly ran outside to protect the customers that were in there. She would be fine as an Immortal, but should their weaker customers as well as the staff be dragged into it, they would die.

As soon as she was out, she immediately turned around and used her Qi to create a makeshift barrier to protect everyone. She waited for the explosion and… 

And it never came.

She continued putting it on, wondering if the young man had delayed the explosion by chance. Alas, even after waiting for more seconds, nothing happened. 

This was confusing to be sure.
