The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1679 We're not fighting anymore. Anyone who's not afraid of death, feel free to try!
"what!"

A scream suddenly jolted Lin Chen out of his thoughts.

Lin Chen looked up and saw a cultivator next to the altar, his body engulfed in flames. He was holding the True Fire of the Sun in his right hand and trying to stuff it into his chest. However, before the True Fire of the Sun could enter his body, his body suddenly burst into flames.

The previous flames were from his release of fire-based techniques, where the flames leaked out and adhered to his body surface, like a suit of armor made of flames. However, the True Fire of the Sun truly ignited him completely.

He was like a piece of paper under extremely high temperature, instantly drying out and burning, his entire body burning from the inside out.

The flames came so fiercely and so quickly that the cultivator's primordial spirit didn't even have time to escape before he was instantly transformed into a ball of intensely hot fire.

The scream lasted less than a second before he was completely burned to death by the true fire of the sun.

Both body and spirit perished.

Lin Chen smiled coldly. "Fire spirit roots are still burned to death, aren't they?"

If the True Fire of the Sun is just an ordinary flame, and the Fire Spirit Root has the ability to resist and absorb fire, then you can play around with it without fear.

Even those with fire elemental roots were burned to death, let alone themselves.

That old bastard Gao Yu actually tricked me into going to steal and absorb the true fire of the sun; he's clearly up to no good!
Everyone was stunned by this scene.

If even a fire elemental root can't absorb it, how can I absorb it?

The group's resolve to seize the True Fire of the Sun wavered. Was it really worth it to fight to the death like this?
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Haoran suddenly remembered what Lin Chen had just said.

The true fire of the sun is not so easy to absorb!

It's not that whoever wins will be able to successfully absorb the true fire of the sun. Judging from the current situation, even if I win, I probably won't be able to absorb it.

If you start absorbing but can't, there will probably be no way back. You'll end up like that greedy man who tried to use his fire spirit root to directly integrate the true fire of the sun into his body, only to be burned to ashes.

Thinking of this, and then of Lin Chen's speculation about the cave owner's sinister intentions, Chen Haoran's mind raced, and he shouted.

"Stop! Everyone stop!"

He was powerful, and since he had led the group before, everyone instinctively stopped fighting and turned to look at him.

Chen Haoran pointed at the True Sun Fire floating in the air and said in a deep voice, "The True Sun Fire is not easy to absorb. It's not that whoever wins can absorb the True Sun Fire. The most likely outcome is that they will be burned to ashes, let alone obtain the inheritance of the True Sun Scripture."

Someone asked, "So what do we do now?"

Chen Haoran decisively said, "Anyone who wants to try absorbing the True Fire of the Sun can go now. I will not attack them; whoever attacks them, I will attack them in return." Everyone looked at Chen Haoran with surprise and doubt, clearly not expecting him to suddenly change his attitude so drastically.

Chen Haoran replied, "I don't have a fire elemental root, so I don't think I can absorb a fire elemental body. If I force it, I'll probably end up like that guy just now, completely destroyed."

Someone asked, "Then why are you still robbing?"

Chen Haoran sneered, "That's the True Fire of the Sun. Even if I can't absorb it, as long as I snatch it, wouldn't I have obtained a treasure? Even if I sell it to someone else, wouldn't I be able to make a fortune?"

"Now that you're all here and have seen the good stuff, it's only natural to compete. Can you guarantee that everything you get through adventure or hard work will be something you can use directly?"

After thinking about it, everyone realized that what they said made sense.

Since he is strong enough, he can certainly do that. After he seizes it and finds that he cannot absorb it, he can sell it to others. Presumably, everyone here would love to buy it.

Putting aside others, Zhou Wu, the leader of the Qishan Meiwang Sect with the fire spirit root, should be a good target. He would definitely be willing to pay any price to buy him.

"Really no interference?"

Chen Haoran nodded: "I won't interfere. I think that guy is right. Even the best opportunities have to be lived for to be enjoyed. Whoever wants to try can try."

Chen Haoran walked to a spot not far from Lin Chen, sat down cross-legged, fed himself a pill, and then closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Lin Chen observed Chen Haoran's behavior. This guy's mind works very quickly; his attitude changes in an instant, and he can even justify it.

Everyone looked at each other.

Who will try?
A middle-aged man gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "I'll give it a try, you guys move aside!"

Inside the secret chamber, no one was worried that he would be able to take the True Fire of the Sun and run away, so they all cooperated and made way for him, giving him enough space.

The man's expression was solemn. He walked to the side of the True Sun Fire, activated his fire-based technique, and his skin suddenly turned as red as fire, with raging flames instantly engulfing his body.

This person is a peak True Immortal with a fire elemental root, and is very powerful.

The crowd remained silent, simply staring at him expectantly.

Undoubtedly, he is the most likely candidate to absorb the True Fire of the Sun. If he succeeds, the True Fire of the Sun will inevitably become a hotly contested commodity again. However, if he fails, then perhaps no one will be able to absorb it.

What's the point of fighting to the death then?
