767, I can help you go through the back door_1

But even so, the rule was too difficult to implement in practice.

These five people had no idea about the plot of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3. Even if they chose the right Experience Card to use, the Fifth Offering, who had transformed into Xu Changqing, would have no clue how to hint to Jing Tian to kill the Evil Sword Immortal.

So for this level, the odds were probably against them.

Dragon Lance Douluo and the other four exchanged glances, indeed facing a problem: which Experience Card to use.

Bi Bidong, "Can we only use one this time? Which one do you want to use?"

After comparing the two cards in his hands, Dragon Lance Douluo took out Fei Peng's, "It's obvious they're the same person, probably corresponding to different periods, right? Different periods definitely have different abilities, I feel like the one in armor is stronger, I want to use this."

Bi Bidong shook her head, "That's not necessarily true, what if it just looks strong?"

Dragon Lance Douluo then took out Jing Tian's card, "Then this one."

He was originally guessing as well, but with Bi Bidong's reminder, he decided to use Jing Tian's Experience Card.

This was in Lin Yi's eyes, indeed the correct choice.

Bi Bidong glanced at the two cards in her hand; between Xi Yao and Xue Jian, Xi Yao seemed stronger, yet she still believed that what appeared strong might not be real, so she chose Xue Jian.

The Fifth Offering said, "Of the two I have, one holds a sword and the other a book, I'll choose Xu Changqing with the sword..."

The Sixth Enforcer, "Then I'll choose White Hair Zi Xuan; white hair surely indicates a later stage, and the later stage is definitely more powerful."

The Fourth Offering hesitated upon hearing the comments from the others, looking at the two Experience Cards in his hand.

One was Hong Long Kui, and the other Lan Long Kui.

He muttered, "Hong Long Kui, though armed, should be more powerful, and her eyes show strong vigilance, she seems to have a strong offensive ability, I want to choose Hong Long Kui."

Dragon Lance Douluo, "But her clothes are tattered, maybe she's often bullied, that's why these eyes and expressions, I suggest choosing Lan Long Kui."

The Fourth Offering hesitated, and eventually compromised, "Fine, I'll choose Lan Long Kui."

Wrong choice...

Lin Yi echoed in his heart.

If they chose Lan Long Kui, then the sword in Jing Tian's hand wouldn't be the one from the grand finale.

Of course, making a mistake in the choice doesn't mean they would definitely lose the final battle. Let's wait and see, maybe the boss of this level is not the Evil Sword Immortal?

After selecting the Experience Cards, the five people still on the first floor of the Monster Brushing Tower quickly transformed into their corresponding characters.

Jing Tian, Xue Jian, Lan Long Kui, Xu Changqing, White Hair Zi Xuan.

Dragon Lance Douluo, transformed into Jing Tian, looked around in surprise at the people next to him, "It really turns you into the corresponding person, wait, even the voice has changed!"

Watching these familiar characters appear, Lin Yi himself felt quite sentimental.

And Bi Bidong discovered that after becoming another person, her original sin trait had also disappeared, which was no doubt a relief; don't be fooled by her calm exterior, every minute and every second just now had been excruciating.

Bi Bidong, "The time limit for an Experience Card seems to be only one hour, that's really short."

The five came to the staircase and eventually reached the eighth floor, where they were confronted with a bald man in bizarre makeup and clothing.

At that moment, Lin Yi didn't know what to say; it was actually the Evil Sword Immortal!

Evil Sword Immortal didn't act like a philosophical master as he did in the series, spouting off profound truths without end. He began his assault immediately.

His speed was abnormally fast, and in an instant, he had grabbed Jing Tian by the neck. When the others tried to rush forward, they were flung against the wall with a wave of his hand.

However, the Jing Tian who had transformed into Dragon Lance Douluo was obviously not the same as the original Jing Tian. He possessed the strength from the grand finale, and with an upward stroke of the demonic sword, he freed himself from Evil Sword Immortal's clutches.

Bi Bidong couldn't help but shout, "I don't seem to have any strength at all!"

She had become Xue Jian.

And Bi Bidong's realization was quickly echoed by the Fourth Offering, "I don't seem to have much fighting power either!"

Xue Jian and Lan Long Kui just watched Jing Tian, who was confronting Evil Sword Immortal, with a look of helplessness in their eyes.

Why would two powerless individuals also be among the experience card options?

This was something they could not comprehend.

However, Xu Changqing and White Hair Zi Xuan were still able to fight. They quickly joined in, fighting alongside Jing Tian against Evil Sword Immortal.

Xue Jian and Dragon Hollyhock stood nervously in the back, watching the situation unfold in front of them. It was clear that the level of combat had surpassed what a Douluo of this plane could exhibit, and only Dragon Lance Douluo, who had undergone the seven challenges, knew that the bald man opposite them was stronger than any monster from the previous levels and that his strength far outstripped the monsters of the seventh level.

Is this the Fourth Level Plane?

Such a question couldn't help but rise in the heart of Dragon Lance Douluo.

If it weren't for the existence of the experience cards, he believed he would be reduced to ashes just by being gazed upon by the opponent's eyes.

Two muffled groans were heard; Zi Xuan and Xu Changqing were sent flying out, crashing heavily against the wall and spitting out blood.

Jing Tian turned his head to find that both had passed out cold.

In desperation, he thrust his sword, and the sharp tip pierced through Evil Sword Immortal's chest, but a bizarre smile appeared on the latter's face.

This scenario had repeated several times. The bald man seemed insubstantial; no matter if he was cut in half by a sword or impaled, it caused him no real damage. Yet every attack from the bald man was terrifying.

Jing Tian's stamina was nearing its limit, and this last thrust of his sword was his final hope. But the moment the bald man smiled, Jing Tian… or rather, Dragon Lance Douluo, probably understood that they were about to fail this level's challenge.

"Thud!"

The long sword broke in half, the front section flying out and piercing through Xue Jian's chest, blood splattering Dragon Hollyhock's face.

The remaining half of the sword in Jing Tian's hand was snatched away, and the man sliced his throat.

A figure fell to the ground as Evil Sword Immortal turned to the last one standing, Dragon Hollyhock, and struck the final blow.

...

Upon opening his eyes, Dragon Lance Douluo found himself and the other four members of his team outside.

He immediately stood up and realized they were still in the state conferred by the experience card. But the outcome was clear: they had failed this level of the challenge.

Dragon Lance Douluo immediately turned to Lin Yi, asking anxiously, "Predecessor, can we attempt the challenge again? Surely one defeat doesn't mean we're finished, right?"

Bi Bidong touched her chest; the feeling of being penetrated by the broken sword was still vivid in her mind. She felt unlucky—why did it have to be during her turn that they failed the challenge?

Lin Yi, "In theory, you can't, but... I can help you take a shortcut just this once."
