This roller coaster-like series of events is a bit chaotic, so let's attempt to clarify.
Actually, at the final moment, the judgments of the two Wei Lingfeng cannot be said to be entirely wrong. We can only say the strategy was meant to handle a situation where a frontal attack wouldn't work.
And that Qilin continuously used the Hundred Layers of Gang Fist in an instant, suddenly springing forward. A barrage of basic attacks hammered them into only being able to parry, without the ability to fight back, not even having the chance to use magic treasures. They could only use the Xuanji Tribulation Seal in unison to hold on, waiting for the Qilin's Qi Power to run out.
So when the unexpected happened in the arena, and the Qilin saw another Demon God appearing, it knew a quick victory was impossible. Clenching its teeth against the palm strength, it decided to fight with all its might with the gang fist, clearly using its ultimate move at the final stage of the battle.
