”DIE, YAN HARA!” Qian Chu laughed maniacally as he unleashed a massive technique toward her.

In the next instant, millions of crimson shards shot toward Yan Hara’s bloodied figure like a devastating storm.

Yan Hara slowly closed her eyes, accepting her fate.

Yet at that very moment, a certain figure suddenly surfaced in her mind—calmly gazing at her with a reassuring smile on his face.

’Yuan…’

The moment Yan Hara saw his face in her mind, she gritted her teeth and abruptly reopened her eyes.

A powerful surge of Demon Sealing Aura erupted from her body, and just before Qian Chu’s attack could reach her, a flag suddenly materialized out of thin air.

Its fabric wrapped around her in a protective embrace, shielding her as countless crimson shards crashed against it.

”What?!” Qian Chu exclaimed in shock, his eyes widening in disbelief at the sudden appearance of the Demon Sealing Flag.

”Hey… isn’t that your…” Demon Emperor Carnage looked at him with a puzzled face.

”No! It can’t be the Demon Sealing Flag!” Qian Chu hastily responded.

After all, the Demon Sealing Flag was in a secure location that only he knew. There was simply no way Yan Hara could have stolen it without him knowing.

Yet, the treasure that protected Yan Hara looked identical to the Demon Sealing Flag, and it was unlikely that a replica would be able to block his attack perfectly.

Once the attack ended, the Demon Sealing Flag unwrapped Yan Hara, revealing that she was completely unharmed.

”This is…” Yan Hara stared at the Demon Sealing Flag with a surprised face, looking as puzzled as Qian Chu.

Before she could even open her mouth to speak, Qian Chu gestured at it, commanding it to return to his possession.

If it was truly the Demon Sealing Flag, it would listen to his command.

The Demon Sealing Flag trembled slightly in response, but it did not move an inch.

Seeing this, Yan Hara subconsciously copied his movements and gestured at it with a grasping motion, and to Qian Chu’s bewilderment, it flew directly into her grasp.

”How dare you…” Qian Chu trembled in anger.

Even if the Demon Sealing Flag was a fake, the fact it responded to Yan Hara rather than Qian Chu was an immense insult to his pride.

Qian Chu was so furious that his skin turned a vivid crimson, making him resemble a demon himself.

Then, without the slightest warning, he lunged at Yan Hara, murderous intent pouring from every inch of his body.

Yan Hara instinctively tried to defend herself, but her body was too battered and exhausted to respond. She could only will herself to move in her mind.

Yet, as though it had sensed her thoughts, the Demon Sealing Flag suddenly reacted on its own, shooting toward the incoming Qian Chu.

”Scram, you useless fake!” Qian Chu roared, attacking it with Celestial Qi.

Since the Demon Sealing Flag had been created specifically to combat demons, it lacked the power to completely suppress someone like Qian Chu, who wasn’t one and was even at the fourth level of God Ascension.

After the clash, the Demon Sealing Flag was sent flying to the side, while Qian Chu continued charging straight toward Yan Hara.

”Your life is mine!”

A cold smile curled on Qian Chu’s lips as his claw-like hand reached within inches of Yan Hara’s throat.

However, just before contact, his body suddenly froze in place, as though an invisible hand had seized him entirely.

”What—?!”

Qian Chu’s face twisted with disbelief and confusion, utterly unable to comprehend what had stopped him.

Meanwhile, Demon Emperor Carnage’s eyes widened as he noticed the two objects that had suddenly appeared above Qian Chu just before he was halted.

”The Demon Sealing Scroll and the Demon Sealing Talisman!” he cried out loud.

”Impossible!” Qian Chu exclaimed after finally noticing the two treasures above him.

The next moment, his body was pulled back and pushed further away from Yan Hara.

By the time Qian Chu steadied himself, the three Demon Sealing Treasures were already by Yan Hara’s side, circling her like three guardians.

”What the hell is going on?! Why are the Demon Sealing Treasures in your possession?!” Qian Chu roared, demanding for answers.

Unfortunately, not even Yan Hara herself knew the answer.

”Why should I tell you?”

Yet, Yan Hara refused to tell him.

Qian Chu gritted his teeth so hard that they cracked.

Then, he turned to Demon Emperor Carnage and shouted, ”What are you doing, standing there like a bystander?! Stop being useless and help me get rid of her!”

”You want me to fight her while she has all three Demon Sealing Treasures in her possession?! You might as well tell me to kill myself!” Demon Emperor Carnage exclaimed.

”Do you want me to help you summon the Ancients or not?! In this entire world, only I am capable of doing so!” Qian Chu shouted back.

”That’s…” Demon Emperor Carnage gritted his teeth upon hearing those words.

A moment later, he released a defeated sigh before joining the battle. However, he did not join alone, as the demons that had fled earlier reappeared as well.

Meanwhile, outside at the venue, the Demon Sealers anxiously awaited the conclusion of the Demon Slaying Parade, which had entered its final day.

”One more hour… just one more hour to go…”

Yan Hara’s supporters paced back and forth endlessly, while others nervously stomped their feet, resembling a crowd gathered outside an emergency room awaiting life-or-death news.

Eventually, the final hour passed, and the Demon Slaying Parade officially came to an end.

”It’s over! Let us inside now!”

Yan Hara’s supporters immediately rushed toward the portal.

Yet, Qian Chu’s supporters continued to block their path for some reason.

”What is the meaning of this?!”

”Nobody is allowed inside until the Clan Leader gives permission,” one of them said.

”That’s bullshit!”

Once again, the Demon Sealers began arguing with each other.

Suddenly, a tall, masked figure in full black stood up and approached the portal.

”Hey, what do you think you’re doing?” One of Qian Chu’s supporters stood in front of him, blocking his path.

”I am going inside,” Yuan replied in a calm voice.

”Look, buddy, I don’t know who the hell you think you are—”

Pap!

A loud slap suddenly echoed through the area, cutting him off mid-sentence.

Before the Demon Sealer could even finish speaking, Yuan’s arm flickered, his palm crashing across the man’s face.

”???”

Everyone present stopped moving to stare at Yuan in shock.

Nobody there could’ve expected a stranger that wasn’t even a Demon Sealer to throw the first strike.

The man that had been slapped slowly turned to look at Yuan, his eyes burning with rage.

Then, he clenched his hand into a fist and swung it.

”BASTARD—”

PAP!

A second slap resounded, sounding much sharper than the first. At the same time, the man was sent flying to the side.

However, it wasn’t Yuan who threw the second strike, but another Demon Sealer—one from the Seventh Heaven.

Before anyone present could even react, Yuan raised his hand and removed his mask, revealing his handsome face for all to see.

Countless gasps instantly rang out across the area as the Demon Sealers’ eyes widened in shock and disbelief, their jaws practically dropping to the ground.

The spectators watched the scene with raised eyebrows, puzzled by their reaction.

Eventually, one of the Demon Sealers muttered in a dazed voice, ”Divine Paragon…?”
