Chapter 2478 Yan Hara’s Prowess
At the Demon Slaying Parade, the spectators and the other Demon Sealers continued watching the event without being aware of the Divine Paragon's return, as the Demon Sealers in the Seventh Heaven had forgotten to pass on the information.
Although they eventually realized, Yuan asked them to keep his return a secret so as to not cause a major disturbance, and they all obliged without question.
Meanwhile, the Demon Slaying Parade entered its fourth day of the event. By now, all of the Lower Demons and even Elite Demons have been sealed, leaving only the higher-ranking demons.
Although Yan Hara had the advantage during the first three days, Qian Chu quickly caught up when she couldn't find any demons on the fourth day.
'What is going on?! I cannot find a single demon!' Yan Hara cried inwardly.
While their event field was massive and would take several days of nonstop traveling to cover, the demons shouldn't be so hard to find, especially since the demons were programmed to approach the participants. Yet, in Yan Hara's case, it was more like the demons had been programmed to avoid her!
As for Qian Chu, it was needless to say that he did not have such an issue, and he would encounter demons one after another with barely any down time.
"What's Yan Hara doing?! She's been avoiding demons for half a day now after sealing the Lower and Elite Demons!"
"Is she really avoiding them? It looks like she's trying to find them but is failing to do so in my eyes…"
"She probably doesn't know that all of the weakest demons have been sealed."
"That doesn't make any sense at all. There's no way she'd challenge Qian Chu if that's all she's capable of."
"She would if she's mentally challenged!"
The spectators had split opinions on Yan Hara.
"Qian Chu, you crafty bastard!" Yan Hara suddenly shouted out loud, "I can't believe that you're so terrified of losing that position to me that you'd cheat like this!"
Her voice rippled throughout the Valley of Demons, reaching Qian Chu, who was on the other side.
However, there were no sounds for the displays watched by the spectators, so they were unaware of what she said except for a few that managed to read her lips.
Yet, even knowing what she said, nothing was done, as nobody could prove that she was being genuine or just slandering Qian Chu out of anger. Of course, in order to not make things too obvious, the demons didn't avoid Yan Hara for too long, and near the end of the fourth day, they started appearing for her.
After nearly an entire day of acquiring zero points, Yan Hara was ecstatic when she finally encountered a demon, even if it was just a Superior Demon.
"Die!"
She lunged at it with enthusiasm, unleashing not only her Demon Sealing Aura but, for the first time in the Demon Slaying Parade, a full Demon Sealing Technique.
A terrifying surge of Demon Sealing Aura—nearly triple what she'd shown thus far—erupted from Yan Hara's body, revealing to everyone that she had been holding back this entire time.
"Divine Demon Sealing Strike!"
Sha!
With just a single strike, Yan Hara completely sealed a Superior Demon that had the cultivation of second-level God Ascension, shocking all of the Demon Sealers watching. "Heavens! Did she just seal a Superior Demon with one strike?!"
"That amount of Demon Sealing Aura is far superior than the Clan Leader's! And there's a good chance that she's still hiding more of it!"
Yan Hara's supporters could hardly contain their excitement after witnessing Yan Hara's prowess for the first time.
Many of them initially followed her because of her status as the Divine Paragon's successor, but after seeing her in action for the first time, their support for her became even more resolute and justified.
Meanwhile, all of Qian Chu's followers wore deep, worried frowns on their faces. None of them have anticipated Yan Hara being this powerful.
"Hm? Isn't that a Superior Demon? The same kind that took the Clan Leader two full hours to seal? And she did it in a single strike—faster than when she dealt with the weakest demons?"
When they saw this, the spectators—at least those who weren't paid by Qian Chu's supporters—immediately realized that something was amiss.
After all, Yan Hara had just proved that she could deal with the high-ranking demons as easily as the low-ranking ones, so it made no sense for her to avoid them in the beginning.
Eventually, those who read her lips when she cursed at Qian Chu understood the situation—that Yan Hara never purposely avoided the high-ranking demons and that only low-ranking demons were available for her.
"Unbelievable! Is the Clan Leader really cheating during the Demon Slaying Parade?!"
It didn't take long before Qian Chu became a target for the audience.
"There's no way! I bet it's Yan Hara who's cheating!"
Of course, Qian Chu's supporters fiercely fought back, even if their defenses made no sense.
"How could she be cheating?!"
"She definitely snuck a treasure inside! I bet she won't be able to repeat what she just did!"
Yet, Yan Hara proved them wrong again during her next encounter with a Demon General.
"Demon Sealing Zone!"
"Swords of Eternal Torment!"
Yan Hara unleashed the Divine Paragon's lost techniques for the first time to the public.
Although Yan Hara couldn't seal the Demon General with a single strike, she was able to face it without any trouble, and several minutes later, the Demon General turned into a stone statue.
"Hahaha! Do you see that?! That is the Divine Paragon's true successor!"
After witnessing her overwhelming prowess, her supporters could not contain their excitement and rose to their feet, applauding loudly for her.
Qian Chu's supporters exchanged silent gazes with each other, looking like they'd just fell face-first into a pile of dog shit.
"Looks like we have to do 'that'…" one of them sighed in a low voice.
