Qi Ling held the Azure Rainbow Sword to block the Sword Demon's attack. Although he could clearly feel that the demon's strength had weakened compared to before, he couldn't be sure whether what was in front of him was a clone or the real thing.
More importantly, although the Sword Demon's strength had been greatly weakened, it was still excessively powerful. Everyone present was caught up in a fierce battle and had no time to attend to anything else.
Only now did Qi Ling truly realize just how terrifying this SSS-level monster was. It was indeed worthy of being the highest-level challenge on the island; a slight misstep could result in the complete annihilation of the entire group.
More importantly, everyone now carries various tokens of considerable level, and Qian Jiyin even carries a level 6 Defense Token!
This undoubtedly indicates that everyone's condition is much better than before, but they are still no match for this Sword Demon; the gap is still huge.
"This won't do! We must find his true form as soon as possible!" Qi Ling had already activated his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils Truth, but he couldn't distinguish which Sword Demon was the true form within his field of vision.
This doesn't mean that the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils are no longer effective; rather, it's because the information between each Sword Demon is almost identical, indicating that the Sword Demon's clone technique is extremely sophisticated and very difficult to break.
"This is really troublesome! How could there be such a thing!" Qi Ling thought with great frustration. "This thing's true form must have a weakness; I have to find a way to get it!"
It would be difficult for Qi Ling to find them by sight alone. Therefore, in order to reveal his weakness, Qi Ling needed to fight each Sword Demon to feel their differences.
This is certainly a rare opportunity, as it means Qi Ling has to interrupt everyone's battle and forcibly switch opponents, but it is the only way.
In a normal fight, this would be extremely difficult to do, because interrupting a duel means revealing a weakness, it's just a matter of how big the weakness is. And if that weakness is big enough that there's no time to fix it, the consequences would be disastrous.
But the current situation provides Qi Ling with the conditions to accomplish this! Because they are currently fighting within Xiaoyu's Bagua Formation, the terrain is advantageous to them!
The most important function of the Bagua Formation is not its complex and diverse features, but its greatest ability is to control "momentum"! It controls the course of battle, the morale of the people, and the fortunes of both sides!
Using this ability, after a conversation between Qi Ling and Xiaoyu, Qi Ling was able to successfully exchange opponents. When he exchanged for his fifth opponent, the Azure Rainbow Sword in his hand felt heavy, but Qi Ling's face lit up with joy: He found it!
Having finally found the Sword Demon's true form, Qi Ling immediately informed everyone. The others then abandoned their opponents and tried their best to control the Sword Demon's movements, creating an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
As for this crucial strike, Qi Ling decided to entrust it to Luna! Luna, however, said rather flusteredly, "Huh? I, I can't do it. My previous attacks didn't work on it..."
"It's alright, Luna." Qi Ling blocked the Sword Demon's attack with her sword and said to Luna, "I believe in you! Just do it!"
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Luna almost called out Qi Ling's name, but the person in front of her was clearly not Qi Ling, so why did this feeling feel so familiar?
However, Luna gained confidence from this. With everyone's efforts, the Sword Demon's twin swords were parried, revealing its biggest opening. Luna was fully prepared at this moment. With a burst of full power, she charged towards the Sword Demon like a shooting star.
Everyone could see with their own eyes that the armor in front of the Sword Demon shattered under this attack. The powerful shockwave almost formed a heavy force field, compressing everything around it.
In the next instant, it was as if a bomb had been ignited on the Sword Demon's body, instantly unleashing a powerful impact that sent him flying.
When the Sword Demon's entire body was sent flying to the edge of the altar, it was as if an invisible barrier stopped him, preventing him from flying out.
Even so, the Sword Demon's situation wasn't much better. He was slammed into the barrier, and the surrounding barrier immediately developed cracks like a spider web, demonstrating the immense force of the impact.
Then, the Sword Demon slowly fell from mid-air to the ground and collapsed silently. The Sword Demon clones around everyone also disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Did we win?" Qian Jiyin gasped, unable to believe it. In the battle just now, he had used various tools to block the attacks of the three Sword Demon, and he was now completely exhausted.
It wasn't just Qian Jiyin who had this question; everyone wanted to know whether the Sword Demon could be killed under such an attack. At least Luna's attack just now could probably kill even a True God- level being.
But to everyone's despair, the Sword Demon that had been lying sprawled on the ground slowly began to move again, then stood up once more, presenting itself to everyone in a fighting stance.
"This, this is impossible! Is this guy Undying Body? He withstood the Holy Maiden's full-force attack; no one could stand up!" Hao Long said in disbelief.
The others shared similar thoughts with Hao Long: how could the Sword Demon continue fighting under such circumstances? Was it truly invincible?
Luna was already in a very weak state and was completely unable to launch the attack she had just made! Her attack was extremely powerful, so the reaction force she suffered was also astonishing. The fact that Luna was still unharmed was because her physical strength was beyond imagination.
"Don't panic, everyone! This Sword Demon is at its last gasp and will be defeated soon!" Qian Jiyin said. "This is just its final, desperate struggle. As long as we hold on, victory will be ours!"
Hao Long, standing to the side, swallowed hard and said, "Are you sure you're right? How are we supposed to withstand an attack like that?!"
It's no wonder Hao Long reacted this way, because at this moment, the Sword Demon was radiating blue light, his entire body seemed to have expanded, and even the hair behind him emitted a blue glow and floated up.
At the same time, an incomparably powerful aura emanated from the Sword Demon, almost suffocating everyone present! The Sword Intent contained within this extremely sharp aura was beyond anyone's imagination. The scattered stones around them inexplicably split in two, unable to withstand such pressure.
