The Eight Gates Released Formation multiplies one's power per 1000 times. Since Duy wasn't as strong as Guy when he opened the Eight Gates, he wasn't able to gain enough power to kill all the Swordsmen. At least Fuguki and Raiga survived. I must correct the last sentence: at least Raiga, Fuguki, Jinin and Kushimaru managed to survive this encounter. Because the last three also got into the next and the strongest generaion of sworsdmen along with Jinpachi, Ameyuri, Zabuza and Mangetsu. And Raiga was seen in the filler arc, although it's not canon. But we know that Raiga also wasn't a canonical character until the chapter about Guy's memories of Ninja Swordsmen encounter came out.
