Chapter 339: 339

Haru hesitated for a moment as he looked up to see that the red demon that had fought against him earlier was now standing in front of Hanying with a grin on his face as a cavity opened up in his chest where Haru had pulled the sword out of him when he jumped back.

Despite having a life-threatening wound on his body the demon didn’t seem worried in the slightest as he remained with his eyes locked on Haru.

“Boss, you might want to guard yourself for this one? I will take down the door for you while I’m at it.” The demon said with a smile as a faint glow began to emerge from the hole in his chest.

Haru had a bad feeling about what was going to happen and as he looked over at Hanying he watched as he created a protective formation around his body. It seemed as though the red demon was planning to use a technique that would inflict damage indiscriminately.

“I thought I just told you to stay out of my fight? You didn’t have to throw your life away like this. I’m constantly surrounded by idiots?” Hanying complained as the red demon turned back with a look of confusion on his face.

“Sir, what do you mean? I thought that it would be a good idea to kill two birds with one stone. And after all, I am on strict orders not to let you get injured.” The red demon replied as Hanying replied.

“First of all, I was leaving myself open for the attack. Do you think that someone could actually catch me off guard so easily? And secondly, this human has practised creating ruins in the ancient dragon language. Even I would have difficulty destroying one of his protective barriers without the power restriction from the lower realm.

You sacrificed yourself for nothing.” Hanying explained, giving Haru time to activate a protective barrier of his own.

A look of horror formed on the red demons faces as he realised that he was going to die for nothing but it was too late to say anything else as the glow that was in his chest suddenly expanded to cover the entirety of the room before a shock wave tossed everything around as a violent explosion emerged from his body causing everything in the room to be thrown around.

Haru was knocked back despite surrounding his body with a barrier and pressed against the wall as the explosion tore through everything in the room. Dust coated the room as the concretes in the room was pulverized and as the explosion faded it left the room shrouded in darkness as the faint sound of panting could be heard coming from the direction of the large metal door that was previously hiding the president and members of the government behind it.

But as Haru used his spiritual sense he realised that was no longer the case. The door had been destroyed under the force of the explosion that had just taken place.

‘So that’s what the difference between red demons and regular demons is? When they receive a life-threatening wound they self destruct and kill everything nearby. He was only at the manifestation stage while under the lower realms suppression and he caused so much damage to the point where Hanying had to protect himself like that.

I can’t even imagine what kind of damage he would have done without the restriction. But I wouldn’t have stood a chance even with the dragon rune barriers that Lao taught me.’ Haru thought as he heard a scream come from within the room as the panting became louder.

Haru jumped to action and ran towards the scream as he knew that Hanying must have made his way in there and the president was now in danger.

As Haru made it into the confined space, the scent of blood hit him as he looked down to see that the majority of the floor was painted red.

“I told you I would make it inside didn’t I? Now, do you still think it was a good idea to mock me?” Hanying asked as Haru looked up to see the faint silhouette of Hanying holding someone by the neck as they struggled to breathe and were desperate to catch their breath.

“Fuck you y- you bastard,” The man managed to croak out with a hoarse sounding voice which was soon followed by a loud crack as his body went lifeless and Hanying dropped him back down to the floor. Before turning his eyes to the corner of the room.

“No! Stay back you devil! Don’t come any closer!” The president yelled in fear as Hanying looked him up and down for a moment before looking back over his shoulder to see that Haru had now joined them in the room.

“Ah, Haru. You made it after all. I was worried that you were killed in the blast since you have been awfully silent for a while. It’s good that you’re finally here though. You can join us for the next part of the plan.” Hanying laughed before looking back at the cowering man in the corner of the room.

“Please, please don’t kill me. I will do anything you want. So please leave me alone.” The president said as a tear ran down his face. He was so frightened that he was unable to move from the corner of the room and only had enough fighting spirit to try to bargain for his life.

“You will do anything I want huh? I wonder if that is true? Because what I want is the destruction of this world and the death of all its people. I know that you happen to be in control of missiles that are capable of crippling entire countries so what do you say? Are you able to do that for me? Will you kill billions of your fellow man for the chance to live?” Hanying asked with a smile on his face as he looked down at the president.

‘He’s after the destruction of Earth? But why? There is nothing in it for him. It can’t just be revenge for killing a few demons can it?’ Haru thought as he knew that he couldn’t act recklessly since the president’s life was now at risk without the door separating them.

The president didn’t answer as he looked down at the floor for a moment, seemingly thinking about his choices before slowly reaching his hand into his jacket.

Haru watched as the president reached for something before a loud bang shook the room as a flash of light emerged from within the president’s jacket.

But as soon as the flash of light shot from his jacket, Hanying shot forwards and grabbed the president by his neck before hoisting him up into the air and slamming his back against the wall.

“Now that wasn’t the smartest choice you’ve made today was it?” Hanying spoke quietly as he shook the president a little causing a gun to drop from his hand and hit the floor as he brought his hands up to try to pry Hanying’s hands away from his neck but it didn’t work.

“Did you just see that!? He thought that a gun would hurt me. What in the world? Haven’t these humans tried their foolish tricks enough? I feel bad for you. How do you live among these idiots?” Hanying asked as he turned to face Haru.

The president also looked over at Haru to see him standing there doing nothing at all to help and became infuriated by it.

“You! Get this man off me right now! I don’t care what you have to do! Just make him let go!” The president demanded as he saw that Haru looked human but Haru didn’t budge as he knew that Hanying wouldn’t be easily overpowered.

And if he was to move against him while he had the president then Hanying would most likely discard the president to fight against Haru with his full power.

The only way that the president was going to remain alive is if Haru stood back since he was the only one capable of preventing Hanying from getting his way.

If Haru used his full strength he was certain that he would be able to hold Hanying at bay and maybe even push him back but the consequences to the people around would be too much for him to bear. He had already caused so much death and destruction back in shanghai the last thing he wanted to do was recreate that massacre so he stood idly by and watched as Hanying began to torment the president.

“I don’t think that you understand your position here. You are now a hostage. If he takes a single step forwards I will kill you. Why do you think that he came all this way to save you and didn’t even attempt to do anything when I threw you against the wall?

I can’t tell if it’s your fear that is making you stupid or if all you humans are like this. At least the ones that I knew had a little more intelligent but yet again they were all simple-minded. If I was you I would commend young Haru here for thinking ahead and not getting you killed.

But instead, you were ungrateful and insisted that he followed your commands. It’s quite laughable that you would treat your saviour this way.” Hanying laughed before the president realised that he was right.

“I’m sorry! Please don’t come any closer. Just do whatever he says. I really don’t want to die! Please I beg you.” The president yelled out to Haru as he remained watching the situation play out.

‘I really wish that he would just stay quiet.’ Haru thought as he heard running footsteps behind him and Hanying looked away from Haru to see where they were coming from.
