Li Xizhi immediately understood and made an effort to regulate his breathing. Li Quantao took over, and his entire mana churned within him, manifesting his Taoist Foundation as he dragged out the conflict without regard for the loss of energy.
Although Li Quantao was somewhat weaker in terms of innate strength, the magic artifacts in his hands were exceptionally formidable. He could erect a White Light Water Barrier to block spells and pull and drag his opponent. Tuoba Chongyuan had just fought a battle and lost his weapon, so for the time being, he was actually held off by a few moves.
As the two fought and retreated, after just over a dozen exchanges, Li Quantao's complexion began to pale. Tuoba Chongyuan was empowered by a Great Seal, and his every move was akin to an attack by a magic artifact. Had he not lost his handy weapon, he would have knocked him down from the Cloud Peak long ago.
