After the clash, each used their other hand to grab the opponent's opposite shoulder, then turned their heads sideways, trapping the other's hand.
The two wrestled on the ground and rolled all the way into the river.
The first to emerge was White Crane Child, but just as he surfaced, he was thrown back into the water by Run Sheng.
Their underwater struggle created many splashes. Run Sheng, who was clearly better at swimming, gradually gained the upper hand.
However, the vertical pupils of White Crane Child began to swirl.
Run Sheng suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, and though he could still manage, his punching and kicking speed slowed down noticeably.
Li Zhiyuan took careful note, this was his first time seeing an official in action using magic.
After taking several punches from White Crane Child, Run Sheng let out a low growl, his eyes reddened, dispelling the effect of the vertical pupils, and his punches and kicks returned to normal, regaining momentum.
