The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1680 It's either for the sake of essence and blood, or for the sake of the body!
"Lin Chen, Gao Yu isn't showing himself. What are your thoughts?"

Lin Chen's eyes were lowered, as if he were asleep.

"He just contacted me."

Chen Haoran asked in surprise, "He's looking for you? What does he want?"

Lin Chen replied, "He said he had high hopes for me and wanted me to go and snatch it, to absorb the True Fire of the Sun. I told him I wasn't a Fire Spirit Body and was afraid of dying. He encouraged me, saying that it wasn't only Fire Spirit Bodies who could absorb the True Fire of the Sun..."

Chen Haoran's voice was icy: "What exactly does he want to do?"

Lin Chen replied, "His purpose is probably to attract a large number of cultivators, then let them kill each other, from which he profits..."

Chen Haoran, quick-witted, interjected, "He made us all fight until we were exhausted, then controlled and unable to fight. The victors would then absorb the True Fire of the Sun and be burned to death by it, leaving behind a group of people with no fighting ability, so he could do whatever he wanted?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "I guessed that was the case, so when he saw that I wasn't moving, he tried to incite me. I ignored him. He threatened to kill me if he couldn't stand me, but he was just talking and didn't actually do anything."

Chen Haoran sneered: "I'm afraid he's incapable of making a move. If he were capable, we would all be a group of True Immortals, while he, a peak Celestial Immortal, even if he's just a primordial spirit avatar, could easily deal with us."

"You just said that you encountered someone who used a birthday banquet to set up an array to refine everyone's essence and blood in order to break through. Was that refining the Dao?"

Lin Chen replied, "If he has a perverse sense of humor and wants to see others fight to the death for opportunities, then I'll disregard what I said. But if he has a purpose, there are only two possibilities."

Chen Haoran clearly had a good understanding of the Dao of Refining: "If it's a broken primordial spirit, then he wants to find a body to possess. If that body can still absorb the True Fire of the Sun, then after possessing it, he can naturally cultivate the True Scripture of the Sun..."

"If he has a damaged body, it's likely that he's attracting a large number of immortals here to refine their essence and blood, absorbing it to restore his body. The reason it's limited to True Immortals is because Golden Immortals are already very powerful. Even if he's a Celestial Immortal, a damaged primordial spirit or body might not be able to withstand a Golden Immortal fighting to the death..."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised. The Japanese soldiers who had fought their way out of the Ghost King's Tomb were indeed sharp-minded. He had only mentioned the beginning, but they had already deduced everything else.

"Yes!"

Chen Haoran asked, "Which possibility do you think is higher?"

Lin Chen replied, "Both explanations are plausible, and it's impossible to say for sure. But what is certain is that he is not strong right now."

Chen Haoran said in a deep voice, "If we stop fighting now and he doesn't show up, what do we do?"

Lin Chen replied, "I just tricked him with my words. I said that if we worked together, we could break the formation from the inside out. He didn't refute me. He just said that I wasn't interested and would just watch. He also said that once things were over, he would let me go..." Chen Haoran sneered, "He didn't kill you directly or give you any substantial warning. This shows that he is afraid of all of us joining forces. In other words, his strength is not that great."

Before Lin Chen could answer, another scream suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the space, a truly pitiful sound.

Lin Chen looked up, his gaze growing increasingly serious.

One of the hands of the peak True Immortal who was trying to absorb the true fire of the sun was completely engulfed in flames, and the flames were spreading rapidly.

The peak True Immortal had previously turned his body to the side and used his right palm to approach the True Fire of the Sun, attempting to absorb the True Fire, but the result was still the same.

His hands caught fire.

Despite having a fire spirit root and fire-type cultivation techniques, he was completely unable to withstand the terrifying high temperature of the True Sun Fire. Before he even made contact, his hand was ignited.

With a flick of his left hand, the man sent a flying sword swirling around him, severing his entire left arm in an instant. At the same time, he flew backward, away from the flames.

His left arm fell to the ground and was instantly ignited by the true fire of the sun, burning it to ashes.

The man's face was ashen, and he looked utterly defeated. The onlookers exchanged bewildered glances, all of them startled.

Even a peak True Immortal with a Fire Spirit Root, who was being so cautious, had his arm burned off before he could even make contact. How could he withstand that?
No wonder they can't withstand it!
No wonder both the White Crane Immortal Sect and the Ghost King's Tomb stayed away from the battle one after another, and even cleanly gave up the competition for the True Fire of the Sun.

They were so wise.

The crowd looked at each other, and no one dared to absorb the sun's true fire anymore.

Someone couldn't help but ask loudly, "Senior, this True Fire of the Sun is too domineering, we can't absorb it. Is there another way to test us?"

The aged voice sighed, "Why is it so difficult to find a disciple who can absorb the True Fire of the Sun? Well then, if you can't absorb it, so be it. Anyway, I can only choose the best among the worst. You can have a duel. Whoever is the strongest, I will pass on the True Scripture of the Sun!"

"Back then, I risked my life to obtain the True Scripture of the Sun, only to be hunted down and eventually die. Yet you only need to fight once to obtain the supreme martial arts. It really makes me furious..."

"Fight! Fight with all your might! Let me see your fighting spirit, whether you are worthy of the Sun Sutra!"
