Chapter 111: You Have to Be a Good Man

The leader of demon hunters was not the only one chasing after them. The moment Hao Ren was stunned by the scene, he suddenly felt a chill rising from his back and the air around him twisted. A thin figure suddenly appeared less than half a meter next to him, waving a silver-white blade at Hao Ren to stab him.

Such a close distance, such a ruthless and decisive assassination, coupled with the sudden teleportation as well as the almost zero shield capacity; the situation was horrible. Hao Ren’s mind went blank at that point. However, the expected pain did not occur. Y’zaks had appeared by his side in a flash. The skinny man in a long, black windbreaker was pinched around his neck and thrown away by the big demon the moment he raised his blade.

It all happened in a split second. It was so speedy that even Vivian could not see it clearly.

“You guys are the demon hunters of this world?” Y’zaks clapped his hand after throwing the skinny man who attacked Hao Ren away. He did not catch up and fight. Instead, he just looked at the other two demon hunters calmly.

Y’zaks threw the skinny man away without much effort as though it was an insignificant amount of trouble. However, Hao Ren felt a cold sweat breaking out the back of his neck. The two werewolves also looked apprehensive. They looked at Y’zaks’ giant body which did not indicate any signs of agility from every angle and could not understand how the two-meter-tall macho man could come and go like a breeze. Casar Ebben thought he could come and go like a breeze as well but his was more like a typhoon, which was nothing compared to Y’zaks’ ability to teleport without a single sound.

The demon hunters never thought that Y’zaks, a strong man who came out of nowhere to be so tricky. They took a cautious step backwards immediately but ignored Y’zaks request. Seeing that only two of them were present, it reminded Hao Ren of something at once. “There are other demon hunters with them. These two are waiting for reinforcements!”

“Oh, they don’t have any reinforcements,” Y’zaks said and waved his hand. “Big Bluey has settled that.”

As Hao Ren was about to ask what ‘Big Bluey’ meant, Y’zaks walked straight up to the demon hunters. He walked up to the leader under their bewildered, watchful eyes and asked, “You’re their leader, aren’t you? I can see that you’re a leader.”

Lily was overjoyed as she watched them. The dumbass realized that it was time fo revenge. She kept jumping behind them while saying, “Big guy! Avenge us! Hit them! Just keep hitting them! Let them know how powerful you… we are!”

Hao Ren did not cheer together with Lily but, his thoughts were basically the same as hers. He was annoyed by the demon hunters to the extreme. Now, their ace fighter was finally here. Who would not want to see their enemy get knocked to the ground. Lily and Hao Ren had been waiting for Y’zaks to attack them for quite some time. However, Y’zaks just waved to the back. He then nodded to the demon hunters in a pleasant manner and said, “Let’s talk about this. How about you guys apologize and leave us alone? I know the two girls and the guy. They are good people. You can’t hurt the innocent.”

Hao Ren, Lily and Vivian were speechless.

There was dead silence. A few seconds later, Casar Ebben hesitated and then asked, “This is the No.1 powerful man on your team?”

Hao Ren could not find a suitable explanation. In the end, he just nodded and said, “His fighting power is really powerful. He can defeat the opponent in seconds.”

“Is this macho man joking?” Ewen Ebben stepped back quietly. Instinct told him that he should never trust anyone related to these unusual fellows. None of them were normal in this bizarre team headed by a strange human from top to bottom!

Although the two werewolves thought that Y’zaks was joking, the big demon looked serious. He waited eagerly for a reply from the two hunters but, how could they cooperate with him? The leader of the demon hunters teleported more than 10 meters away after a brief moment of consternation. Bang! Bang! He raised an arrow and aimed at Y’zaks’ chest. Without waiting for confirmation, he quickly took the large crossbow on his back and released the deadliest shot towards Y’zaks’ face with a smooth flow!

At the same time, the skinny man, who was thrown aside by Y’zaks also quickly flashed to the side, raised his hand and threw out several silver blades. They were all targeted at Y’zaks’vital spots.

Ding, ding, ding. It all happened so fast. Lily was still jumping happily in the air. Vivian and Hao Ren did not even have time to change their stunned expression when they heard the tinkle of metal coming from the big demon.

Such a tough man. His body could withstand the power of magic arrows which could explode like a small, rifle grenade. Moreover, the surface of Y’zaks’ body seemed to have a layer of strange energy. The moment the arrow or quarrel touched his skin, the magic was lifted. It turned into a plain, silvery-gray metal stick and fell on the ground. The silver blades broke into several pieces of steel as well. If this guy was a human, his adamantium-like body was comparable with Hao Ren’s Steel Membrane Shield.

However, Y’zaks did not look angry at all. He probably did not even think that these little metal sticks were attacking him. The big demon looked at the two demon hunters who had teleported more than 10 meters away and said, “We can still negotiate. You guys have to be good men…”

The two demon hunters glanced at the monster-like man with horror, turned around and ran away at the same time without waiting for the teleportation to cool down.

Of course Y’zaks did not give them the chance to escape. As he waved his hand, a chain formed from foul, green runes appeared at the foot of the two hunters and dragged them straight back to Y’zaks.

“Don’t run.” The big demon squatted down and said nicely, “You can’t hurt the innocent so, apologize to my friends and promise me to be good men from now on.”

“Are you sick?” The hunters’ leader was surprisingly calm. When he found that his teleportation device had been chained to the green runes on his feet, he immediately took out several pieces of rune slips and tossed them towards Y’zaks. “Break the evil!”

The rune slips struck Y’zaks on the face and chest. They then burst into a series of bright flames but the flames were soon suppressed by a layer of green, demonic power. Y’zaks’ face was blackened by the smoke yet, he just ignored it. He grinned and asked, “Do you guys want to be good men?”

The leader answered by continuing his struggle and not giving up the chance to escape. He realized that the strange man before him was a powerful creature which he had never heard of. However, as a demon hunter, the belief of never compromising with monsters was imprinted on his mind like a life instinct that he did not even think of cooperating.

Y’zaks frowned and glanced at the two men in the struggle. With a few snaps, he dislocated their hands and feet. He then continued to educate them patiently. “I can’t let you go as you may go back and tip your people off about us. My friends and I won’t have a quiet life. You guys have to promise me to be good people and make a pact with me. Then I’ll let you go.”

The great pain coming from their hands and feet almost made the two demon hunters cry out loud. “He is crazy!” They shouted at the same time.

“I’m not crazy,” Y’zaks refuted earnestly and explained his motives, “I just think that we only live once and should do something meaningful. It would also be an achievement if I manage to educate you. I hope that all races will live in peace together. There is room for negotiation between demon hunters and other creatures. All of us live in this little world while the world outside is vast and boundless. It’s too wasteful to keep fighting on such a small planet. Wasting a universe that God has created for us…”

The two demon hunters looked at the vicious, literary maniac as if he was a psycho. The short man blurted out, “You’re bullsh…”

Y’zaks punched the short man in the face and the man was lay on the ground, unconscious. He then continued to persuade the leader nicely, “Don’t speak, listen attentively. How wonderful the world is… If you move again, I’ll just crush your neck. Why is it so hard for a man to listen to me quietly?”

Those who were watching from the back were completely petrified.

Hao Ren finally understood how Y’zaks, who always stuck to the ‘nice guy’ logic, interpreted the ‘good man’ theory from a demon’s viewpoint. Yes, this was a demon’s logic of a ‘nice guy’:You must be a good man or you will be dead.
