Originally, the duel here was meant to restrict Grindelwald's Apparition and maximize the speed of my own body.
Now, however, Grindelwald used it to restrict me in turn. A Fiendfyre Dragon blocked all of Li Chuan's dodging space, leaving him no choice but to find a way to take it head-on.
But this was actually within his expectations; how could he not be clear about Grindelwald's powerful and abnormal Fiendfyre?
So he had already prepared a countermeasure.
"Then let's try this, Eight Gates Body Technique - Morning Peacock!"
Li Chuan directly stomped his legs and jumped high into the air. Looking at the Fiendfyre Dragon that followed closely, he condensed Chakra in his hands and unleashed the body technique Morning Peacock, which can be used after opening the sixth of the Eight Gates.
His hands turned into afterimages, and countless flames and air generated by the friction between Chakra and air, like a Gatling gun, shot towards the Fiendfyre Dragon below.
The red flames and blue flames collided, and a series of explosions immediately erupted in the air.
"Open up!"
What Morning Peacock unleashed was not only the flames generated by friction, but also air cannons formed by high-speed punches.
So when Li Chuan rushed down towards the Fiendfyre Dragon from above, as the distance closed, the Fiendfyre Dragon was also forced to open a large hole in its body by the continuously generated red flames and air.
Using the temporarily opened large hole, Li Chuan passed through the Fiendfyre Dragon and went straight towards Grindelwald below.
Seeing this, Grindelwald frowned. As he waved his wand, a Shield Charm defense shield formed, blocking the dense barrage of fireballs that followed from Li Chuan.
At the same time, his left hand moved, and an invisible wave spread out with him as the center.
"Let's see if your speed can still be that fast."
"Time Magic again!"
Li Chuan, who was already less than two meters away from Grindelwald, had his entire speed slowed down tenfold after being covered by the magic wave. His punching speed also slowed down tenfold, causing Morning Peacock to fail to produce flames due to insufficient speed.
At this point, he knew that Grindelwald must have, like Dumbledore, used time-based magic to slow down the flow of time in the vicinity.
At the same time, the Fiendfyre Dragon that Li Chuan had passed through did not dissipate. It circled in the air and attacked Li Chuan's back below again.
"Second Form, open!"
Li Chuan roared, and his body rapidly expanded into a muscular form. His physical strength, speed, Chakra, and other aspects were all greatly enhanced.
Even within the range of Grindelwald's Time Magic, he still managed to unleash the effect of Morning Peacock again.
With his left hand using Morning Peacock to suppress the Fiendfyre Dragon, Li Chuan used his right hand to aim his wand at Grindelwald and cast the Killing Curse.
There was no other way. Given Grindelwald's level of Shield Charm, it was impossible to break his defense without the Killing Curse. This was a special period, and the Ministry of Magic allowed law enforcement personnel to use the Killing Curse on Grindelwald and his followers.
"You are seeking death. All my family members who are willing to join my great cause, you can Apparate away from here to spread our ideals.
Next, I will use Fiendfyre to burn all the Aurors who remain here and the entire city of Paris!"
Putting away his Time Magic and Apparating directly to the top of the giant stone eagle statue above the graveyard, Grindelwald waved his wand, and Fiendfyre Dragons appeared around him, completely engulfing the entire graveyard.
He no longer wanted to play wizard duels with Li Chuan; he wanted to destroy Li Chuan, all the Aurors present, and the entire city of Paris.
"Not that easy!"
Li Chuan raised his wand and chanted towards Grindelwald, who was standing on the stone eagle:
"Expecto Patronum!"
A silver Dragon flew out of his wand and went straight towards Grindelwald to bite him.
"What a huge Patronus!"
Seeing Li Chuan's Patronus, all the Wizards present gasped in surprise.
Grindelwald frowned and immediately controlled several Fiendfyre Dragons to meet Li Chuan's Patronus.
The opponent's Patronus did indeed look strong, but at most, it could only be compared to one of his Fiendfyre Dragons. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't need to pay too much attention to it.
However, just as the silver Dragon was about to collide with the Fiendfyre Dragons, its figure suddenly changed into a small kestrel. Its speed instantly increased, and it passed through the gaps between the several Fiendfyre Dragons, arriving next to Grindelwald.
Grindelwald quickly cast a Shield Charm instantly to protect himself completely, while the kestrel also turned back into a silver Dragon and fiercely whipped Grindelwald's Shield Charm with its tail.
The powerful force directly knocked Grindelwald off the stone eagle. Although the Shield Charm defense shield was not broken, it made him look a bit more disheveled.
"To reach this level, besides Dumbledore, you are the first!"
At this moment, Grindelwald's expression had become very bad. Apparating to the center of the graveyard, he gently waved his wand, and all the Fiendfyre Dragons returned to his side, merging into a super-sized Fiendfyre Dragon.
Then the Fiendfyre Dragon flapped its wings, opened its mouth, and fiercely spewed out a sea of Fiendfyre that spread out from Grindelwald as the center.
This sea of fire formed by Fiendfyre was not only going to swallow Li Chuan but also everyone present.
Those followers whose hearts were still firm were unharmed when burned by the Fiendfyre, while those Wizards who had wavered due to the previous battle were instantly burned to ashes.
For a time, screams and sounds of terror filled the field. Regardless of whether they were Grindelwald's followers or those who had wavered, they all began to use Apparition to escape from here.
Finally, only Li Chuan and Theseus, who wanted to capture Grindelwald, were left on the field.
However, it was clear that capturing Grindelwald was not realistic, because apart from Theseus, Newt, Tina, and a dozen other skilled Wizards who could barely protect themselves by waving their wands in the Fiendfyre.
Other Aurors couldn't block the attack of Fiendfyre at all, let alone counterattack and capture Grindelwald.
"You, along with this city, will turn to ashes!"
Seeing this, Grindelwald waved his wand, unwilling to waste any more time, and also left with his subordinates by Apparating.
Li Chuan recalled his Patronus to protect himself and block the Fiendfyre attacks. He turned towards the defense line where Theseus and the others were located and unleashed Morning Peacock again.
However, his Morning Peacock this time was not for attacking, but precisely avoided every Auror, relying only on the flames and air to temporarily push the Fiendfyre around them to the side.
"Apparate away from here first, then find a way to control the sea of fire!"
Without the attack of the Fiendfyre, Theseus and the others immediately Apparated away from the center of the sea of fire and arrived at the outskirts of the graveyard.
Seeing all the Aurors leave, Li Chuan put away Morning Peacock and also waved his wand to Apparate away.
In this battle today, he did not defeat Grindelwald, but he also showed strength not inferior to Grindelwald. At least in everyone's opinion, Grindelwald couldn't do anything to him either, which can be considered as initially achieving his goal.
