The current situation was slightly beyond Grindelwald's expectations, having deviated somewhat from his original plan.
However, there was no major error, because for him, dealing with the witch in front of him, who seemed to have some special bloodline, was not too difficult a matter and would only take a few seconds.
No matter how fast the opponent ran, could they be faster than his Apparition?
This was also a good opportunity to further show everyone his power and dampen the confidence of the Witches' Association.
"Then let's begin!"
Li Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately opened the Eight Gates to the sixth gate, the Gate of View. His body flickered, appearing almost like teleportation behind Grindelwald, and he pointed his wand at his back, casting an Explosion Curse.
In fact, piercing the back of the opponent's head with his wand would definitely be faster than casting magic with his wand.
But he wasn't really going to kill Grindelwald, and it wouldn't make sense for Witches to duel without magic, relying entirely on physical attacks.
And when Grindelwald saw Li Chuan's figure disappear, his pupils also shrank. He disappeared from his original spot using Apparition at the fastest speed.
"Whoosh!"
A blue light shot out from Li Chuan's wand, passing through the empty space and landing on the ground, blasting a large pit.
"What's going on?"
Most of the Witches present who weren't very powerful couldn't help but rub their eyes. How did the two people below switch places in the blink of an eye, and there was also an extra pit on the ground?
"Your speed is much faster than last time!"
Grindelwald squinted his eyes, looking at Li Chuan with a rare hint of seriousness in his expression.
If Li Chuan's speed back then at the Magical Congress of the United States of America building was like a flexible monkey, within a still understandable range, then just now it had completely exceeded the norm.
Because relying on the naked eye, it was already somewhat difficult to capture the trajectory of the opponent's body movement.
If his Apparition hadn't been fast enough, he might have really been hit by the opponent's magic just now.
"Your Apparition is faster than mine."
Li Chuan looked at Grindelwald, who had been preempted by him but still avoided the attack, and sighed inwardly, thinking, as expected, he was another guy who had practiced Apparition to perfection, just like Dumbledore.
Fortunately, the dueling area for the two was not large. He could barely cope with Grindelwald's Apparition relying on his body speed. If it were in a spacious place outside, it would truly be very difficult to fight.
In a situation where he couldn't use Ninjutsu and could only rely on magic and his body, as long as Grindelwald kited him from a distance, he could only passively take hits.
This was also one of the reasons why he wanted to duel Grindelwald before everyone left.
He wanted to use Grindelwald's followers to trap him in the middle area of about ten square meters for the duel, so that he could have an advantage.
"I think so too, Cruciatus Curse!"
As soon as Li Chuan finished speaking, Grindelwald's figure appeared behind Li Chuan, and at the same time, his wand was pressed against the back of Li Chuan's head.
He didn't know what magic Li Chuan used to boost his speed to that inhuman state, but in terms of speed, it was still far behind his Apparition.
"Not so easy!"
Although he wasn't as fast as Grindelwald, Li Chuan also had his own advantage: his body's reaction speed was definitely fast enough. After seeing Grindelwald disappear and hearing the sound coming from behind him, he stomped his right foot hard on the ground.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the hard floor was directly stomped and shattered by him, and terrifying cracks appeared on the ground as a result, causing Grindelwald behind him to lose his footing and sway, and the Cruciatus Curse emitted from the wand in his hand immediately went awry.
And using the force of this stomp, Li Chuan's body instantly disappeared from the ground and appeared in mid-air, pointing his wand at Grindelwald with another Explosion Curse.
Grindelwald's figure disappeared again with Apparition, dodging Li Chuan's Explosion Curse this time, leaving another large pit on the ground blasted by the Explosion Curse.
They went back and forth, fast as lightning, evenly matched.
This was the most intuitive feeling in the hearts of all the Witches watching at this moment.
In their eyes, they saw Li Chuan and Grindelwald constantly flickering in the middle area of about ten square meters. One could faintly see afterimages, while the other couldn't even be seen as an afterimage.
But the constantly sounding explosions and the fleeting Dark magic made them understand how dangerous the battle between the two was.
They were well aware that in such a terrifying battle, any one of them entering it would only be instantly killed, because they simply couldn't keep up with the pace of the two men's fight.
Even Theseus, the first-rate Witch over there known as a war hero, was breaking out in a cold sweat as he watched.
Without truly confronting him face-to-face, you would never know how powerful a Witch of Grindelwald's level could be.
To be honest, he now felt that even if all the Aurors hadn't betrayed them, and without Li Chuan there, their success rate in apprehending Grindelwald together would be very low.
And Grindelwald's followers were no longer mocking Li Chuan for overestimating himself, because what he displayed was truly powerful, strong like a monster.
Grindelwald's power was still understandable to them; after all, it was just perfected Apparition and immensely powerful Dark magic.
But what was the situation with the terrifying physical strength and speed displayed by Li Chuan? One could see special energy and magic fluctuations on the surface of his body. Was it a self-created magic?
"It seems you didn't use all your strength at the Magical Congress of the United States of America that day."
Dodging Li Chuan's Explosion Curse once again, Grindelwald clearly lost patience.
Although the battle between the two had not even lasted a minute and the opponent couldn't injure him, failing to cleanly and quickly deal with the challenger in front of so many followers would shake their faith.
Therefore, he no longer intended to hold back. Originally, he had thought of defeating the opponent and then recruiting him, but now he just wanted to quickly kill this challenger.
So, with a wave of his wand, a fire dragon emitting blue flames flew out from his wand, circled around his body once, and directly pounced towards Li Chuan.
Grindelwald's improved Fiendfyre, which could destroy Horcruxes, turn Witches into dust upon touch, discern malice, and was completely under control, appeared before Li Chuan.
"With my current magic ability, I probably can't block it at all!"
Li Chuan was very self-aware. In terms of magic alone, his magic ability was at most only slightly better than ordinary Aurors, and he still couldn't compare with first-rate Witches like Newt, Tina, and Theseus.
If he used a Shield Charm to defend, he probably couldn't hold on for even a second.
His physical body was indeed strong enough, perhaps he wouldn't be instantly burned to ashes like an ordinary Witch, but he also didn't want to risk trying to see if he could withstand it.
The key was that the Fiendfyre fire dragon was very large, and there was no place for him to dodge using his body.
