他自恃的神通廣大，便隨手架起雙股劍，玎玎璫璫的響，左遮右格，隨東倒西。
他自恃的神通广大，便随手架起双股剑，玎玎珰珰的响，左遮右格，随东倒西。
Trusting to her own wide magic powers, she brought up a pair of matched swords to hand, ringing and clashing, warding to the left and parrying to the right, following east and toppling west.
倒 is dǎo, to topple or lean — she goes wherever the blow sends her and comes back. 玎玎璫璫 is four characters of pure metal noise.
行者雖強些，卻也撈他不倒。
行者虽强些，却也捞他不倒。
Pilgrim was the stronger, and yet he could not knock her over.
倒 is dǎo again, this time as the result of the verb before it — grab at her and get her down. The reading is the same and the job is different, and moving it off the base reading pulls the 不 in front of it down to bù.
The fight settles into a stalemate, and the novel says so plainly in eleven characters: he is the better fighter and he cannot put her down.
That is unusual and it matters. Most opponents in this book either lose quickly or win by a trick. This one simply holds him, which is what a creature with three hundred years of practice and a heavenly adoption can do.
The same character closes both lines with two different jobs — she topples this way and that, and he cannot topple her. It is the kind of pairing the prose does without drawing attention to it.
