Li Chuan could only think of time-based magic as the only magic capable of simultaneously slowing down the physical Ten Rings and the non-physical killing curse.
And this point is not without basis.
In this World, wizards not only have deep research into space magic, but also into Time Magic.
magic similar to the Freezing Charm, Time-Turner, and Reparo actually involves some characteristics of Time Magic to varying degrees.
And the special magic item created using Time Magic, the Time-Turner, can even allow the user to go back to the past and travel through time to a certain extent.
It's just that Time Magic is too dangerous, not only for the user but also for the entire World, so related magic knowledge is basically not found in schools or bookstores.
At least Li Chuan did not find any theories or research results on Time Magic in Tom Foley's memory or in major bookstores.
But as the greatest witch in history, Dumbledore basically mastered all magic, so being able to use Time Magic is not a rare thing.
However, being able to apply Time Magic in combat was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.
"Wind Swirl!"
After Dumbledore dodged the attacks of the Ten Rings and the killing curse, he unleashed a whirlwind charm at Li Chuan's Shadow Clone with his left hand.
Immediately, a violent tornado swirled around Li Chuan's Shadow Clone, instantly tearing his body apart.
"It's not genjutsu, and it's not entirely physical, yet it can still launch magical attacks, how strange!"
Seeing Li Chuan's Shadow Clone torn apart and disappear into the air, Dumbledore's eyes became even more solemn.
If he was just cautious at first, but in reality, he didn't fully take the opponent seriously in his heart, then now he has truly raised his full guard.
Because with the powerful magic and magic items that the opponent has displayed, there is a real possibility that he might be defeated today if things go wrong.
Similarly, realizing that Dumbledore could use Time Magic to affect the flow of time for objects near his body, Li Chuan immediately recalled the Ten Rings to protect himself.
He was worried that Dumbledore might Apparition to his side and use Time Magic, in which case he would only be able to rely on activating the second stage of his body combined with the Eight Gates to use his absolute physical advantage to counteract the negative effects of the Time Magic.
But that would expose his identity on the surface, because his identity on the surface is known for his physical fitness, and his subsequent fight against Grindelwald will definitely be primarily based on magic and physical strength.
Only by recalling the Ten Rings to set up a defensive energy field can he protect himself at all times.
Even if Dumbledore uses Time Magic at close range, it won't be that easy to break through the Ten Rings' energy defense so quickly.
As expected, seeing that Li Chuan did not use the Ten Rings to continue attacking him, but instead recalled them to protect himself, Dumbledore sighed with some regret, then his figure flashed as he temporarily gave up on continuing to cast magical attacks and distanced himself from Li Chuan.
At this time, the Quidditch pitch had been completely turned into a pile of ruins due to the battle between the two, and the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic were also hiding in the distance in fear.
Over at Hogwarts castle, the headmaster, along with all the Professors, had used a super Shield Charm to protect the entire castle from being affected.
There was nothing they could do, without looking at the details of the battle between the two, just the collision between water and fire just now was already terrifying, and under normal circumstances, it could instantly kill a group of witches.
"Dumbledore, you are indeed stronger than I expected, but what if, what if a hundred of me attacked you at the same time, what would you do?"
Looking at Dumbledore, who had reapparitioned and distanced himself again, Li Chuan formed hand seals:
"multiple Shadow Clone technique!"
Instantly, ninety-nine identical Shadow Clones appeared on the entire field.
"Fire Release: head pain!"
"Water Release: water wall!"
"Earth Release: earth spear!"
"Wind Release: pressure damage!"
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
The Shadow Clones quickly formed hand seals, and countless advanced five-element Ninjutsu, as if they were free, frantically covered the area where Dumbledore was located.
Even Dumbledore, who was very confident in his Shield Charm, did not dare to defend upon seeing this and immediately apparitioned away in fright.
The combined bombardment of the five-element Ninjutsu lasted for a full minute, and only after the Chakra within the Shadow Clones was almost exhausted did Li Chuan stop.
And the original Quidditch pitch was completely turned into a small lake under such a frantic Ninjutsu coverage.
And this terrifying scene made the jaws of all the witches, big and small, who were watching at this time, drop.
Of course, such a powerful attack still did not kill Dumbledore, because he had already apparitioned away from the area covered by the Ninjutsu.
And Li Chuan also knew this, because he had no intention of killing Dumbledore at all.
His purpose in coming here was first to complete Grindelwald's mission, and second to use this to let everyone in the wizarding World know that his strength could rival Dumbledore, to create enough pressure on Dumbledore, and enough pressure on the Ministry of Magic.
At the same time, he also wanted to establish a prestige second only to Grindelwald in the Wizarding Party.
So what he had to do was show that he was strong enough, and releasing ninety-nine Shadow Clones to cause destruction now was demonstrating this.
Yes, Dumbledore could evade with his superb Apparition ability, but what about other witches?
How could they withstand such a powerful Li Chuan?
"Boom!"
Just then, a dark cloud suddenly appeared above all of Li Chuan's heads, with lightning and thunder and pouring rain, and then streaks of arm-thick lightning descended from the sky, unleashing a barrage of attacks on all the Li Chuans below.
Not long after, all of Li Chuan's Shadow Clones were all blasted by these lightning bolts and turned into smoke and disappeared one by one.
It was Dumbledore who, hiding in the distance, precisely timed his counterattack, using a weather charm to create a large dark cloud and guiding the lightning within it to attack Li Chuan below.
"Is he dead?"
The Aurors from the British Ministry of Magic, who were also hiding in the distance, couldn't help but Apparition to Dumbledore's side when they saw all of Li Chuan disappear.
Dumbledore held his wand and shook his head cautiously:
"No, those who just disappeared were not the main body, his main body should have already hidden in another place in advance, you had better stay away from me, I don't know what strange magic he will use to attack me next."
By now, he also understood that although the opponent might be inferior to him in some aspects, in terms of the destructive power of pure magic, he was not inferior to him and Grindelwald at all.
If the opponent counterattacked again, he could evade by Apparition, but if these Aurors were nearby, they would probably be affected.
So these Aurors here not only couldn't help, but would also hinder him.
