Qi Ling heard Xiaoyu's last words to her, but it was too late. They had already rushed to the front of the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast, and they couldn't possibly turn back now.
Qi Ling had already experienced the power of this beast before. Although this one was clearly a different species from the previous ones, their strength should be about the same.
Qi Ling didn't hesitate and immediately took out the Demon God Halberd. Last time, she fought bare-handed and suffered a great loss. She never expected that the beasts in this place would have such strength.
The Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast looks a lot like a giant lion carrying a tortoise shell! However, it also has a pair of horns on its head and a pair of huge fangs.
Just by looking at its appearance, Qi Ling could tell that this guy's preferred attack mode must include heavy attacks, the power of which was unimaginable. If he couldn't dodge it, even if he was holding the Demon God Halberd, he would definitely not be in good shape.
As Qi Ling Qi Ling had expected, the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast roared the moment it spotted her, charging at Qi Ling without giving Qi Ling any chance to react.
Qi Ling tried to dodge, but as expected, the space around her was locked, and the locking force was quite strong. It made sense; if this beast didn't have such a method, how could it attack its opponent with its clumsy body?
It was certain that even if he could break free, it would take him a considerable amount of time—enough time for this guy to ram him eight times over. Therefore, Qi Ling had no choice but to summon the Dragon God Armor and say to the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast with great bravado, "Come on! Let me test just how strong you are!"
The final result was no surprise. Qi Ling was knocked away by the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast and landed at Xiaoyu's feet, startling her.
" Bai Di, are you alright?" Xiaoyu asked anxiously. "My formation was just set up! How could you rush out so quickly?"
Qi Ling said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect your formation to require a casting animation. Are you ready now?"
"Okay, you're ready. You can go on now!" Xiaoyu said.
Qi Ling got up from the ground and faced the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast once again. The Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast was about to launch an attack, but a large amount of thick fog appeared in front of it, blocking its vision.
Hidden in the mist, Qi Ling couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise. The ability to manipulate the surrounding environment was rare, and this was extremely advantageous for a group's operations.
But Xiaoyu's amazing feat wasn't over yet, because soon, a figure exactly like Qi Ling appeared in the mist in front of the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast, standing there with an imposing presence, indistinguishable from the real thing.
Upon suddenly discovering its enemy, the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast naturally turned its attention to him. Qi Ling watched as the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast charged towards the phantom without the slightest hesitation.
"Wow, Xiaoyu, your Bagua Formation can actually do something like this?" Qi Ling exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe, aren't I amazing? I told you long ago, I'm very capable!" Xiaoyu said proudly.
Xiaoyu's Bagua Formation can do more than that. As long as she is within her formation, she can create any number of Qi Ling's phantoms! At the same time, she can manipulate these phantoms to launch attacks against the enemy.
These phantoms naturally wouldn't cause any harm, and would even lose their effect immediately upon contact with the enemy's body. However, this was powerful enough, as it completely protected Qi Ling's position, allowing him to employ more tactics.
When the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast once again misjudged and attacked an illusion, Qi Ling didn't wait any longer. He immediately took action, thrusting his Demon God Halberd towards the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast's belly.
The sturdy scales proved incredibly fragile against the Demon God Halberd, easily piercing the creature's body and causing it to let out a mournful cry.
It couldn't understand why Qi Ling had vanished from its sight and then reappeared beside it in an instant. More importantly, Qi Ling's attack had actually hit it squarely.
Such an attack was naturally insufficient to defeat the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast, so Qi Ling continued to use this tactic to fight it. The opponent, which had previously seemed very difficult to deal with, became quite easy to defeat.
Qi Ling didn't know how much credit Xiaoyu's Bagua Formation had for this, but it certainly enriched her tactics considerably.
After sustaining some damage, the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast went berserk, its body swelling to more than twice its original size, and flames even erupted from its body, making it look quite terrifying.
"Wow, that's amazing! It can even breathe fire!" Qi Ling exclaimed, looking at the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast. " Xiaoyu, does your Bagua Formation have any other abilities? Let's try them all out!"
Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "There are other functions, but those functions will require the help of your power, Bai Di!"
"Alright, in that case, I'll see what other wonders your Bagua Formation has!" Qi Ling said with a smile.
Xiaoyu's Bagua Formation, when combined with Qi Ling's, can achieve a very simple effect—weakening! And it weakens people by leveraging Qi Ling's aura!
A more intuitive explanation is that Xiaoyu amplified the influence of Qi Ling's aura on the enemies through her own formation, causing their attributes to weaken under this suppression.
With the enemy weakened, Qi Ling naturally became stronger, making it much easier for her to deal with this guy!
After the massive Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast fell, Qi Ling said with a sense of relief, "Wow, that's impressive! It seems you weren't exaggerating. Your Bagua Formation truly has something special about it!"
Hearing Qi Ling's praise, Xiaoyu immediately became proud and said, "Of course! Besides, the effects of my Bagua Formation haven't been fully utilized yet! Since I can use your power to weaken the enemy, I can naturally use the enemy's power to strengthen you! There are other amazing functions that I haven't had time to show you yet!"
"Wow, impressive, impressive," Qi Ling exclaimed. "Let's go find Kurumi first, so she can see what we've got!"
After the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast fell, it finally dropped something decent for Qi Ling: a red Level Three Attack Token. If such a token were to be exchanged for points, it would cost at least 180 points, making it even more valuable Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast itself.
After carrying the Level Three Attack Token, Qi Ling could feel a force acting on him with each attack, greatly increasing the power of his attacks!
