Chapter 1428 - 1428: You Really Did Your Best

Prince Yun and King Jing felt a stinging embarrassment on their faces.

Not long ago, they were saying Jiang Cheng was running out of steam, showing his true level.

Unworthy of being compared to the twin prides with Qiu Yuxuan.

At the time, they spoke with such confidence, as if it were an authoritative certification.

But now, facts proved they were ignorant, failing to see through the advanced maneuvers before jumping out to make such statements.

If it weren't for their status as Divine Monarchs, which made others afraid to offend them, they would have been mocked by the crowd by now.

Even so, many immortals silently ridiculed them in their hearts.

You, these Divine Monarchs, being veteran Daoist Saints, and organizers of the competition.

We thought you guys were really experts.

And this is it?

Just by watching a Daoist Venerable, you all make a collective wrong judgment?

Did you forget your glasses, or your brains?

Are you really capable?

"Brother Jiang is still the best!"

While internally despising the Divine Monarchs, they didn't forget to praise Jiang Cheng.

Brother Cheng's maneuver, everyone could tell he found the loophole.

He took a clever approach.

The issue is, this didn't violate the competition rules.

As long as you can last three days in the Secret Realm, it doesn't matter what method you use.

Moreover, this cleverness is something only he could pull off; no Daoist Saint present could achieve it.

"One of a kind in the entire venue, finally setting our Celestial Palace above the outsiders."

"No wonder he's called the Hidden Emperor!"

"As for the so-called twin prides, I don't think even Qiu Yuxuan could manage this kind of feat."

Unfortunately, Brother Cheng inside didn't know he was becoming the center of attention.

He wasn't even aware the outside could see those inside.

If he did, this guy would definitely strike a few poses for sure.

In his shopping mode, he strolled around and eventually walked over to Qiu Yuxuan.

At that time, Sister Qiu was still shrouded in a cloud of gloom.

She was battling the seventh illusion realm.

Like an inspector, Brother Cheng watched with interest, hands clasped behind his back.

Outside, the immortals were puzzled.

What's he up to?

After a moment, Qiu Yuxuan finally broke through the seventh illusion realm, dispelling the gloom.

Once she emerged, the girl was surprised.

Jiang Cheng stood in front of her, clapping with amusement and empty hands.

"Not bad, not bad, quite spirited!"

Qiu Yuxuan felt puzzled.

How did he get in front of her, was the initial random placement that close?

"Didn't you eagerly want to fight me? Well, here I am, go ahead and make your move!"

In response to his provoking words, Qiu Yuxuan was exasperated.

"It's not the time now, you wait for me..."

The first-round preliminary rules prohibited interfering with others.

Besides, the eighth wave of illusion attacks was imminent, she couldn't spare a moment.

Before she finished speaking, she was engulfed again by the eighth cloud.

Fighting fiercely inside the Secret Realm, she slightly sped up her pace.

If she couldn't lay a hand, at least she could finish the illusion before that guy!

Against Jiang Cheng, she wanted to compete in everything.

A moment later, she quickly finished the eighth illusion realm.

Before she had time to rub her eyes, she again heard Brother Cheng's playful voice.

"A bit slow, I've been waiting to the point where flowers have wilted!"

"How are you so fast?"

Qiu Yuxuan didn't know that Brother Cheng was simply immune to illusion attacks.

She thought Jiang Cheng was just like her, having just emerged from another illusion attack.

Seeing him fine outside, with no clouds around, she assumed he was even faster than her.

"Is this considered fast?"

Jiang Cheng pretended to be surprised.

"Brother has already slowed down, you know."

Brag on!

With such feelings, Qiu Yuxuan was again attacked by illusions.

She wasn't going all out for this preliminary.

There was no need to exhaust herself every time, as the competition required enduring three days.

But to outdo that guy, she finally went all out.

In just five seconds, she blasted through the ninth illusion realm.

Drawing gasps of amazement from the audience.

Inside, Qiu Yuxuan didn't have time to feel happy, immediately checking Jiang Cheng's situation upon emerging.

At first glance, she didn't see anyone.

Then, a teasing voice came from behind.

"Still not good, as my maid, you can't embarrass me."

"How is this possible?"

Qiu Yuxuan was beginning to doubt her life.

How could this guy be faster than her?

In the next moment, she was once again attacked by illusions, this time trying even harder inside.

In just three seconds, she broke out.

"Is this it? Is that all there is?"

Brother Cheng once again appeared in front of her.

With the same infuriating smile.

"Is this your top speed? I almost fell asleep waiting."

If people outside could hear the inside, they would surely scold him.

Have some decency?

Qiu Yuxuan felt a bit defeated.

Once more plunged into an illusion, she started using her unknown trump cards.

She had deep fortune and many trump cards.

Among them were some 'forbidden techniques' as killing moves.

She originally didn't plan to use them in the first round, but to outshine Jiang Cheng, she went for it!

This time, in just one second she broke through the illusion realm before her.

Even faster than the Yun Ting Daoist Saint before!

The immortals outside were already astounded by this unimaginable feat.

Was Qiu Yuxuan not giving her all before?

Even the three Celestial Emperors couldn't help but praise.

Breaking through an illusion realm in one second indicated her unknown attack had exceeded certain power limits.

"She should be able to harm Daoist Saints with this strike."

"Incredible!"

"It's said she just ascended to Daoist Venerable recently."

"Her talent and fortune are unmatched, her joining the Celestial Palace is a blessing for us."

The Divine Monarchs beside them were moved.

Having followed the Celestial Emperors for so many years, it was the first time they heard someone receive such evaluation.

However, inside, Qiu Yuxuan wasn't happy at all; she felt truly defeated.

Because that man was still smiling, standing in front of her.

"Alas, you did your best."

"Forget it, forget it, you're just a maid after all, I shouldn't have such high demands on you."

Saying this, Brother Cheng was actually a bit shocked.

Qiu Yuxuan's skill was close to his Perfect Sword Dao.

Damn, the Immortal Mother Reincarnation is too favored by the Heavenly Dao!

It's downright cheating!

Brother Cheng conveniently overlooked his habitual system exploits.

"I'm out, out, not hitting you anymore." He purposefully acted disinterested.

If this continued, Qiu Yuxuan might push herself to burn her foundation and overextend her potential.

Why bother?

He still expected her to venture everywhere and gather more benefits in the future.

An occasional tease was fine, but he couldn't overdo it.

"You..."

Watching him leisurely leave, Qiu Yuxuan felt a deep unwillingness.

But she really did her best.

She couldn't even imagine how Jiang Cheng could be faster than her.

And then, the next illusion attack came.

She was once again being attacked by various rules.

While Jiang Cheng continued to stroll around.

As he wandered, a cloud in front suddenly dispersed, and someone had broken through an illusion realm.

Soon after, Ling appeared in front of him.
