Chapter 282 Companion Spiritual Treasures
Without a word, Ji Rong flicked his finger, and a black spiritual energy spike shot towards Kongming's back with lightning speed. This strike was filled with his anger and killing intent.
"That shameless old man Ji! A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator actually resorts to sneak attacks!" Zhu Ganglie, seeing this, jumped up and down and cursed.
Zhao Yun gripped his silver spear tightly, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, ready to lend a helping hand to Kongming at any crucial moment.
"Watch out!" Su Yao cried out involuntarily when she saw Ji Rong's sneak attack.
On one hand, the hatred for the destruction of the Qinglan Sect still lingered in her heart; on the other hand, she had an inexplicable feeling for Kongming.
Once upon a time, this village boy who was still confined to her Qinglan Sect has grown to the point where even Nascent Soul cultivators are wary of him.
This was something she couldn't quite believe!
However, at this moment, Kongming remained extremely calm and used the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique. With one step, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, the terrifying gravity field released by the six old beads instantly spread out, enveloping Ji Rong within it.
Ji Rong felt as if his whole body was being crushed by a boulder weighing tens of thousands of pounds, and every inch of movement was extremely difficult.
He roared and spat out another mouthful of blood essence. He felt a lightness all over his body and instantly locked onto Kongming's aura.
"Let's see where you run this time!" Ji Rong unleashed his full magical power, charging towards the location of Kongming's aura like a black meteor.
However, Kongming's aura vanished mysteriously once again, as if the previous lock-on was just an illusion.
Teleportation? Could it be...?
Ji Rong's eyes narrowed. Wasn't this a divine ability that only Nascent Soul cultivators possessed?
At first, he only suspected that there was something strange about Kongming, but now he felt more and more that Kongming was very likely a Nascent Soul cultivator who had infiltrated the area.
However, for someone like him from an ancient and powerful family, even if Kong Ming were truly a Nascent Soul cultivator, he wouldn't take him seriously at all.
"Hmph, you mere rogue cultivator, no matter how you sneaked in, you won't leave here alive today!"
Ji Rong snorted coldly and quickly formed hand seals. A small, exquisite tower, exuding immense pressure, appeared in his palm.
As Ji Rong infused his spiritual power, the Soul-Suppressing Tower grew rapidly in the wind, instantly transforming into a giant pagoda tens of feet tall, standing between heaven and earth.
"Soul-Suppressing Tower, suppress it for me!" Ji Rong shouted fiercely, his eyes filled with ferocity.
Black mist churned around the Soul Suppressing Tower, runes shone brightly, and an even more terrifying suppressive force spread outwards like a tide.
This force not only attempted to pinpoint Kongming's location but also tried to crush any suspicious area into dust. The surrounding space seemed to be being arbitrarily kneaded by an invisible giant hand, and the air emitted sharp, explosive sounds.
Sensing this terrifying suppressive force, Kongming was forced to reveal himself.
But he did not panic; he immediately focused all his attention on the sixth pearl.
The six old beads instantly emitted a dazzling earthy yellow light, and an incomparably terrifying gravity spread wildly outward from the beads, resisting the power of the Soul Suppressing Tower.
For a moment, the clash of the two terrifying forces caused a buzzing sound all around.
Ji Rong was both shocked and furious to see that Kongming was actually holding his Soul-Suppressing Tower at a stalemate with that strange bead.
He stared intently at the bead that emitted an earthy yellow light, trying to discern the origin of this treasure.
"Could it be a companion spirit treasure?!"
Ji Rong felt a chill run down his spine, and his gaze instantly became incredibly intense.
The conditions for the birth of a companion spirit treasure are extremely demanding. It is a rare object that can only be born when a cultivator touches a powerful rule or masters a certain power. It not only communicates with its master's mind but also possesses endless potential.
Generally speaking, magical artifacts are just inanimate objects; even if their owner's strength increases, they are unlikely to undergo any qualitative changes.
However, companion spirit treasures are different. They grow together with their owners, and their quality has no upper limit, hence the name spirit treasure.
Such a rare object is something that even the three ancient families, with their hundreds of thousands of years of history, have never heard of any sage who could touch upon some powerful rule and thus give birth to this companion spiritual treasure.
Now that it has actually appeared in the hands of a rogue cultivator, how could he not feel jealous!
Thinking of this, the greed in Ji Rong's eyes almost materialized.
Although it is extremely difficult to change the ownership of a companion spirit treasure once it recognizes its master, the ancient aristocratic families, with their resources and methods, can still forcibly sacrifice some of their power and thus take possession of it.
"He deserves to die!" Ji Rong stared at Kongming with bloodshot eyes.
However, the battlefield situation is deadlocked at the moment. The gravity field of the old six beads makes it difficult for him to move, and the Soul Suppressing Tower can hardly make any progress.
Killing Kongming would be very difficult.
Conversely, the chances of Kongming defeating Ji Rong are also slim...
"Fellow Daoist Sima Kun, please help me slay this fiend!"
Ji Rong shouted and looked in the direction of the Sima family...
