Salil's answer is correct i.e. he can say "I will be killed by trampling of wild buffalo."

1) Say if king assume it is a truth then he should be killed by lions that is a contradiction.
2) Say if king assume it as a false then he should be killed by trampling of wild buffalo. i.e. not a false statement again contradiction.
