Zhao Xuansu and Li Chungang are both land immortals, but they each have different martial arts pursuits. Zhao Xuansu, as a Taoist master, pursues the way of heaven, and although he has dabbled in force, it is not his main direction of attack. In contrast, Li Chungang is a martial arts leader in the rivers and lakes, and his swordsmanship is superb. Back then, Li Chungang fought against many strong enemies with his own strength and practiced unparalleled swordsmanship, which was far beyond Zhao Xuansu's reach. In the battle between Deng Tai'a and Zhao Xuansu, although Zhao Xuansu was defeated, Deng Tai'a was full of respect for Li Chungang. He once said that in the past five hundred years, there have been countless swordsmen, but only Li Chungang can be compared with Lu Zu. This is enough to prove that in Deng Tai'a's heart, Li Chungang's kendo attainments far surpass Zhao Xuansu. Therefore, from the perspective of force, kendo, and status in the rivers and lakes, Li Chungang is undoubtedly stronger than Zhao Xuansu. This is not because there is an obvious difference in strength between the two, but because their martial arts concepts and pursuits have their own merits. Although Zhao Xuansu is a Taoist immortal, he still needs to learn from Li Chungang in this regard. Although Zhao Xuansu and Li Chungang are both land immortals, their pursuits in martial arts are very different. Zhao Xuansu pursues the way of heaven, pays attention to inner cultivation and understanding, and although he has dabbled in force, it is not his main direction of attack.

In a great battle that year, Li Chungang fought against many strong enemies with his own strength, and with his outstanding martial arts and swordsmanship, he practiced unparalleled kendo. This battle made Li Chungang famous and made him go to the next level in martial arts. In contrast, Zhao Xuansu's achievements in this area are obviously not comparable to Li Chungang. It is worth mentioning that Deng Tai'a and Zhao Xuansu had a battle, although Zhao Xuansu was defeated, Deng Tai'a was full of respect for Li Chungang. He once said that in the past five hundred years, there have been countless swordsmen, but only Li Chungang can be compared with Lu Zu. This is enough to prove that in Deng Tai'a's heart, Li Chungang's kendo attainments far surpass Zhao Xuansu. 
To sum up, from the perspective of force, kendo, and status in the rivers and lakes, Li Chungang is undoubtedly stronger than Zhao Xuansu. This is not because there is an obvious difference in strength between the two, but because their martial arts concepts and pursuits have their own merits. Although Zhao Xuansu is a Taoist immortal, he still needs to learn from Li Chungang in this regard.
