362: Conquer You Potian

You Potian chuckled and continued to attack Li Changbai.

However, he was surprised to find that even after transforming into his true form and using "Sacred Dragon Transformation," he still couldn't break through Li Changbai's defenses.

The power of this defensive Spirit Formation was simply too great!

Although his attacks could shake the Spirit Formation, Li Changbai was constantly generating Spiritual Seals to repair it.

His speed of destruction simply couldn't match Li Changbai's speed of repair.

After a brief stalemate, You Potian snorted coldly and took out his black dragon sword.

Demonic Power was injected, and the black dragon sword glowed with black light before shooting towards Li Changbai.

The black dragon sword struck the Spirit Formation, causing ripples, and cracks appeared on the Spirit Formation. The spiritual Black Tortoise guarding Li Changbai also became incredibly ethereal.

However, before You Potian could even smile, tens of thousands of Spiritual Seals flew out from Li Changbai's palm, rapidly repairing the Spirit Formation.

By the time the black dragon sword flew back to You Potian, the "Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation" had returned to its Peak state, and the spiritual Black Tortoise once again became solid.

You Potian said in a deep voice, "The Dao of Spirit Formations truly has its profound aspects; it could actually block my black dragon sword!"

Li Changbai chuckled, "You Potian, I told you I would make you satisfied!"

You Potian said in a deep voice, "Don't get happy too soon. Your defense is indeed excellent, and I can't Breakthrough it, but you also don't seem to be able to hurt me."

Li Changbai chuckled, "You seem to have some misunderstanding about me. I'm not just good at defense. Since you want to test my offensive methods, then let me show you my Vermilion Bird Spirit Burning Array!"

With that, Spiritual Seals once again danced from Li Changbai's palm.

A second Spirit Formation condensed beside the "Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation."

This formation, named "Vermilion Bird Spirit Burning Array," was among the top of the Eighth-Grade Spirit Formations, focusing on ultimate offensive techniques.

You Potian originally wanted to interrupt Li Changbai's casting, but he was surprised to find that Li Changbai was actually multitasking.

He was repairing the "Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation" while constructing the "Vermilion Bird Spirit Burning Array," multitasking with effortless grace.

Even with the black dragon sword in hand, You Potian couldn't break through Li Changbai's defense and could only watch as the second Spirit Formation took shape.

Half a minute later, the second Spirit Formation was completed. Li Changbai smiled slightly and said, "You Potian, taste my offensive technique!"

"Come on!" You Potian showed no fear.

Li Changbai extended his right hand, pointed it at You Potian, and then pressed it down.

The Vermilion Bird, condensed from spiritual power, flew up and shot towards You Potian.

Feeling the powerful force from the spiritual Vermilion Bird, You Potian frowned deeply and injected all his Demonic Power into the black dragon sword.

The black dragon sword emitted a dazzling light, then transformed into a black Dragon, flying up to meet the spiritual Vermilion Bird.

The black long Dragon and the spiritual Vermilion Bird collided, once again stirring up the winds and clouds.

Everyone nervously stared at the point where the two forces collided.

They could all feel that this collision should determine the victor.

The two forces remained in a stalemate in the air for a long time, and their light gradually dimmed.

Finally, You Potian's black Dragon let out a mournful cry, was forced back to its original form, turning back into a black longsword, and flew backward.

Li Changbai's spiritual Vermilion Bird still had a small portion of its power remaining and fiercely flew towards You Potian, striking him.

You Potian was directly sent flying backward, gliding for thousands of meters in the air, then crashing to the ground.

A trace of heartache flashed in You Ling's eyes, but she didn't lose her composure too much.

As a Saint Realm Expert, her perception was very keen, and she understood You Potian well.

This battle, You Potian had indeed lost.

But he had Dragon Power protecting his body, so he wouldn't suffer fundamental injuries and could recover to his Peak state within half a day.

Li Changbai flew out from the Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation and approached You Potian.

"Fellow Daoist You Potian, are you alright?"

You Potian transformed back into human form, lying on the ground.

His body was scorched black, covered in blood, looking very disheveled.

You Potian took Li Changbai's outstretched hand and, with his help, stood up.

Then he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't die!"

"Li Changbai, you are indeed a formidable fellow. You actually broke through my Dragon Power defense. Even among Martial Venerable Experts, you are a leader and worthy of being my partner!"

Hearing this, Li Changbai was overjoyed and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist You Potian, you agree?"

You Potian nodded slightly and smiled, "I, You Potian, always keep my word. Let's form the partner contract now!"

"Good!"

Both of them closed their eyes simultaneously, and two milky-white light clusters flew out from above their heads, then merged together.

Then, both of them opened their eyes again.

From now on, they were partners sharing life and death.

This partner contract's binding force on both parties wasn't strong; it could be dissolved at any time, but it had two benefits.

First, it could accelerate their Cultivation speed, complementing each other.

Second, You Potian had opened a mount space within Li Changbai, so when he returned to Zhongzhou with Li Changbai in the future, he could Cultivate in the mount space.

It was just like Xiao You and Lu Xingchen's mount space.

The others also gathered around.

Lu Xingchen patted Li Changbai's shoulder and chuckled, "Second Senior Brother, you're too fierce! The attack power of that spiritual Vermilion Bird is truly too strong, powerful enough to severely injure an Eight-Star Martial Venerable!"

Li Changbai chuckled, "As the Senior Brother of War God His Excellency, if I didn't have some skill, wouldn't I be a laughingstock?"

Lu Xingchen then asked, "Then, Second Senior Brother, did you use your full strength in that battle just now?"

Li Changbai shook his head and chuckled, "No. Originally, that Vermilion Bird Spirit Burning Array was already my trump card, but Senior Li Huan is a true Spirit Formation Great Master, and the Legacy he gave me contains an even more powerful offensive technique."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was startled.

He had only asked casually, but he didn't expect Li Changbai to truly have a hidden move.

You Potian's eyes also lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "Li Changbai, you didn't use your full strength just now?"

Li Changbai chuckled, "Although my final killing move is powerful, it has many limitations and may not be successfully released. Fellow Daoist You Potian, as long as you follow me, one day, you will witness it!"

You Potian nodded heavily, "Alright, then I'll look forward to it for now! Li Changbai, you don't need to call me Fellow Daoist anymore. Just call me Xiao Tian from now on. After all, after forming the contract, you and I are partners in honor!"

Hearing this, Li Changbai's heart stirred, and he chuckled, "Alright, Xiao Tian!"

You Ling's eyes reddened, and she said softly, "Xiao Tian, have you thought it through? Do you really want to leave me and venture into Jiuzhou?"
