Chapter 368 Good Intentions

It wasn't just the Demon Hunter leader who was chasing after them. As Hao Ren stood there in a daze, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The air around him twisted, and a small figure suddenly appeared less than half a meter away, a silver-white blade stabbing toward him!

At such close range, with such a ruthless and decisive assassination, coupled with the suddenness of space teleportation and the nearly depleted shield capacity, the situation couldn't have been worse. Hao Ren's mind went blank, but the expected pain didn't come. Izhaks had somehow flashed to his side. The small man in the black trench coat had barely raised his blade before the great demon grabbed him by the neck and tossed him away.

It all happened in a flash, so fast that even Vivian didn't see it clearly.

"You're the Demon Hunters of this world?" Izhaks dusted off his hands after throwing the small man who had tried to assassinate them. He didn't seem inclined to chase after him and start a fight, but instead looked at the two Demon Hunters with a calm expression.

He made it look so easy, as if he had just dealt with a trivial matter. Hao Ren felt cold sweat trickling down his back, and the two werewolves were also surprised and uncertain. They looked at Izhaks's massive figure, which seemed to have nothing to do with "agility," and couldn't understand how this two-meter-tall behemoth could move so nimbly. Casa Ebon thought he could move nimbly too, but his was more like a typhoon compared to Izhaks's ability to flash ten meters without disturbing the grass.

The two Demon Hunters didn't expect Izhaks, this behemoth who had appeared out of nowhere, to be so troublesome. They cautiously took a half-step back, but remained unresponsive to Izhaks's question. Hao Ren saw that only these two had appeared and immediately realized something: "They have another group! These two are waiting for reinforcements!"

"Oh, they don't have any reinforcements," Izhaks waved his hand. "The big blue guy took care of them."

Hao Ren was about to ask what "the big blue guy" meant, but Izhaks had already walked forward on his own. Under the two Demon Hunters' strange, wary gazes, he walked up to their leader: "You're their leader, right? I can tell you're the boss."

Lily saw this and immediately became excited. This idiot had finally realized it was time to take revenge, and she started jumping up and down behind him: "Big guy! Avenge us! Hit them, hit them hard! Let them know how powerful you… how powerful we are!"

Hao Ren didn't join in the cheering, but he basically felt the same way as Lily. He was extremely annoyed by these Demon Hunters. Now that his own ace fighter had finally arrived, who wouldn't want to see their enemies beaten to the ground? But after waiting for so long, Izhaks just waved his hand behind him and nodded very, very kindly to the two Demon Hunters: "Let's talk this over. How about you admit your mistake and stop bothering us? I know those two girls and that young man. They're all good people. You can't hurt the innocent."

Good people: "..." Lily: "..." Vivian: "..."

The scene was deathly silent. A few seconds later, Casa Ebon hesitantly spoke: "This is the top powerhouse in your team?"

Hao Ren couldn't come up with a suitable excuse, so he could only nod: "In terms of combat power, he's indeed a badass, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth."

"Is this powerhouse here to be funny?" Yuen Ebon retreated quietly. His instincts told him never to trust anyone related to these strange individuals. This bizarre team, led by a strange human, didn't have a single normal person!

Although the two werewolves thought Izhaks was joking, the great demon himself was serious. He waited expectantly for the two Demon Hunters' response, but how could they cooperate with him? After a brief moment of shock, the Demon Hunter leader instantly teleported a dozen meters away, raised his hand, and fired two crossbow bolts at Izhaks's chest. Before he could confirm the results, he quickly removed the large crossbow from his back and, in a fluid motion, fired the most deadly shot at Izhaks's face!

At the same time, the small man who had been thrown away by Izhaks also flashed to the side and threw several silver throwing blades, aiming at all of Izhaks's vital points!

It all happened so fast. Lily was still happily jumping in the air, and Vivian and Hao Ren hadn't even had time to change their expressions when several crisp metallic sounds rang out from the great demon's body.

What a powerhouse, he actually ignored those demon-breaking arrows that could explode like small grenade launchers with his flesh and blood! Moreover, Izhaks's body seemed to have a layer of strange energy. The moment the demon-breaking arrows touched his skin, they were dispelled of their enchantments, turning into ordinary silver-gray metal rods that fell to the ground. Even those silver throwing knives were shattered into several pieces of scrap metal on his body. Even in his human form, this guy's steel bones were comparable to Hao Ren's rigid shield!

But Izhaks still didn't look angry at all. He probably didn't even consider those small metal rods as attacks. The great demon looked at the two Demon Hunters who had flashed a dozen meters away: "You can still talk this over. You should be good people..."

The two Demon Hunters looked at the monstrous behemoth in horror. Without waiting for their teleportation to cool down, they turned and ran!

Of course, Izhaks didn't give them a chance to escape. With a wave of his hand, chains formed from green, tainted runes appeared at the two Demon Hunters' feet, dragging them back to Izhaks.

"Don't run," the great demon squatted down and said kindly. "You can't hurt the innocent, so you have to apologize to my friends and promise me that you'll be good people in the future."

"Are you out of your mind?" The Demon Hunter leader was surprisingly calm. He realized that his space teleportation had been sealed by the green rune chains tied to his feet, so he immediately pulled out several rune paper slips and threw them at Izhaks: "Banish evil and set things right!"

The rune paper slips hit Izhaks's face and chest, and a series of bright sparks erupted, but these sparks were quickly suppressed by a layer of green demonic energy. Izhaks's face was blackened by the smoke, but he didn't care at all. He just grinned: "Are you going to be good people or not?"

The Demon Hunter leader's response was to struggle and never give up the chance to escape. He had realized that this strange man was probably a powerful monster he had never heard of, but as a Demon Hunter, the belief that he would never compromise with monsters was almost like a life instinct imprinted in his mind, so he never thought of cooperating.

Izhaks frowned and looked at the two struggling men, then casually dislocated their arms and legs and continued to patiently educate them: "I can't let you go because you might go back and report, and then my friends and I won't be able to live in peace. You have to promise me that you'll be good people in the future, and then make a contract with me, and I'll let you go."

The pain from their arms and legs almost made the two Demon Hunters cry out in pain. They both shouted in unison: "This is a lunatic!"

"I'm not a lunatic," Izhaks retorted seriously and explained his motives. "I just think that life only comes once, and we should do something meaningful. It would be an achievement to educate you well. I hope that all races can coexist peacefully, and that Demon Hunters and other species can have room for negotiation. All of us live in this small world. The outside world is vast and boundless. It would be a waste to fight to the death on such a small planet—a waste of the vast universe that God created for us..."

The two Demon Hunters looked at the ferocious, literary lunatic like they were looking at a madman. The short man blurted out: "You're farting..."

Izhaks punched him unconscious and continued to persuade the Demon Hunter leader in a gentle voice: "Don't make a sound, listen with your heart. This world is so beautiful... If you move again, I'll have to break your neck. Why is it so hard to get someone to listen to me quietly?"

The people who were watching from behind were all dumbfounded.

Hao Ren finally understood how Izhaks, who had always insisted on the logic of being a "good person," used his demon brain to interpret this "good person" theory. That's right, this was a demon's logic of being a good person:

You have to be a good person, or you'll just be a dead person.
