As the new headmaster, Armando Dippet was very clear about one thing: if Dumbledore couldn't solve the problem with that Mysterious Person, then him going with the school's Professors wouldn't make a difference either.
Moreover, the most important thing for the school was education, not getting involved in all those messy problems outside.
His main responsibility was not to capture Black Wizards, but to protect the safety of every student in the school.
"Huh, that's really strange magic!"
On the other side of the Quidditch pitch, after Dumbledore's magic hit Li Chuan, his face showed a look of surprise.
Because Li Chuan was not bound by his magic; instead, after being hit, he turned into a block of wood with a "bang".
"As expected of Albus Dumbledore, if I hadn't been vigilant, you really would have taken me down in one go."
In the Quidditch stands, Li Chuan's voice of admiration rang out.
It turned out that after seeing Dumbledore disappear, he immediately used the Substitution Technique to evade Dumbledore's spell attack.
"Now try this move of mine."
Retrieving the Ten Rings to guard himself and prevent Dumbledore from Apparating over for a surprise attack again, Li Chuan quickly formed hand seals:
"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"
A cloud of ash mist sprayed from his mouth, quickly surrounding Dumbledore, and then a spark shot out, instantly turning the entire ash mist into a raging sea of fire.
Ash Pile Burning was a high-level Fire Release Ninjutsu created by Asuma.
Although its power was not particularly outstanding compared to other high-level Fire Release techniques, because the initial ash mist was very deceptive and could block the enemy's vision, its hit rate was very high.
As the flames dispersed, Dumbledore's figure was no longer in its original position but had also appeared in the stands.
"Practicing Apparition to this extent is really troublesome."
Seeing that Dumbledore had used Apparition to evade his Ash Pile Burning, Li Chuan couldn't help but shake his head.
If it were a normal witch, they would probably Apparate immediately after using Ash Pile Burning, and would be burned to a crisp halfway through Apparating.
However, Dumbledore only performed Apparition the instant the ash mist turned into flames and still didn't suffer any damage.
"It seems the attack will only be effective when he's casting other magic!"
After one test, Li Chuan immediately had an idea.
Given Dumbledore's Apparition speed, any Ninjutsu he used, even large-scale ones, probably wouldn't hit the opponent.
Therefore, for his attack to be effective, he would have to wait until Dumbledore was casting other magic and couldn't simultaneously perform Apparition; attacking at that moment was the only way it might work.
On the other side, Dumbledore waved his wand, and streams of Stupefy and binding spells shot towards Li Chuan, but they were all blocked by the Ten Rings surrounding Li Chuan, causing him to frown as well.
He didn't want to kill Li Chuan because he felt Li Chuan wasn't bad.
But the magical items surrounding Li Chuan were very powerful; not only did they have very strong physical attack capabilities, but they could also deflect his magic.
If he didn't show some more strength, he really wouldn't be able to take down the opponent.
"Fire God's Path Opening!"
Waving his wand, powerful flames erupted from his center, turning into a sky-obscuring firestorm that swept towards Li Chuan's position.
"Hold it!"
Li Chuan used his will to gather the Ten Rings above his head, relying on their power to forcefully block the surging flames, then freed his hands to form hand seals again.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
A large lightning spear went directly towards Dumbledore.
At this moment, because Dumbledore was controlling the firestorm with his wand, he couldn't perform Apparition again, otherwise the firestorm's attack would also stop.
But he wasn't flustered at all; he raised his free left hand and lightly pointed forward, and an energy shield from a Shield Charm appeared in front of him.
Casting wordlessly, wandlessly, and with both hands simultaneously was something Dumbledore could also easily do, besides Grindelwald.
"Boom!"
The powerful Lightning Release spear struck Dumbledore's Shield Charm defense, and for a moment, they were locked in a stalemate.
You should know that when Kakuzu used this Lightning Release technique to attack Li Chuan's Shield Charm back then, the Shield Charm broke after only a few seconds; now, with Li Chuan attacking Dumbledore, the result was different.
Firstly, the power of the Ninjutsu Li Chuan used was not as strong as Kakuzu's due to his proficiency, and secondly, the Shield Charm in Dumbledore's hands was clearly much stronger than when Li Chuan used it.
"Your strength is indeed very great, I can no longer hold back."
Dumbledore looked at the powerful lightning spear outside the Shield Charm barrier, his brows also furrowed, and he quickly waved the wand in his right hand.
Instantly, the volume of the firestorm sharply expanded, then quickly condensed again, fiercely pressing down on the defense formed by the Ten Rings once more, its power double what it was before.
And the Ten Rings were clearly starting to buckle under such immense energy, beginning to be pushed back towards Li Chuan's body little by little.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique - Wind Release: Pressure Damage - Composite Ninjutsu: Hurricane Water Waterfall Technique!"
Seeing that the Ten Rings were about to fail, Li Chuan immediately used the second composite Ninjutsu he learned from Kakuzu; powerful water currents mixed with hurricane winds rose up as a water-wind storm, colliding heavily with Dumbledore's firestorm.
The clash between powerful magic and composite Ninjutsu, both being large-scale destructive attacks, caused most of the entire Quidditch pitch to be destroyed in that instant by the shockwaves emanating from the water and fire collision.
And those Aurors who had just recovered and were preparing to help Dumbledore subdue Li Chuan, seeing such powerful magic, dared not step forward and all Apparated away to hide in the distance.
They were afraid that if they weren't careful and got caught in it, they would be instantly killed.
"Now's the time!"
While the Hurricane Water Waterfall Technique was blocking Dumbledore's firestorm, Li Chuan controlled the Ten Rings to slam fiercely into Dumbledore's Shield Charm barrier, preventing him from casting any other magic.
At the same time, a Shadow Clone that he had created beforehand appeared behind Dumbledore holding an ordinary wand and used a Dark Curse that the Shield Charm couldn't defend against:
"Avada Kedavra!"
A beam of green magical light shot straight towards the back of Dumbledore's head.
"I won!"
Li Chuan thought to himself at this moment.
If Dumbledore didn't want to die, he would have to abandon the Shield Charm and cast other spells to block the Killing Curse with a physical object, and then his Ten Rings would be able to hit Dumbledore, winning the duel.
Just as Li Chuan expected, Dumbledore did indeed temporarily retract the Shield Charm, but he didn't use a Deformation Curse to create a physical object, nor did he use a Levitation Charm to pull up a stone to block in front of him; instead, he opened his hand and cast a strange spell.
After this spell was cast, the Ten Rings attacking him from the front and the Killing Curse from behind instantly slowed down by more than ten times, allowing him to easily dodge them.
"Time Magic?"
Li Chuan's heart suddenly stirred, and he had a guess.
