The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1680: Chapter 1680: Either for Essence Blood, or for the Body!

”Carson Flores, since Clayton Gross is not showing up, what are your thoughts?”

Carson Flores lowered his gaze, as if he were asleep.

”He just approached me.”

Aiden Roth sounded surprised: ”He approached you? For what?”

Carson Flores replied, ”He said he’s optimistic about me, encouraged me to seize and absorb the True Solar Fire. I told him I’m not a Fire Spirit Body and fear death. He even encouraged me, saying that it’s not only the Fire Spirit Body that can absorb the True Solar Fire...”

Aiden Roth’s voice turned cold: ”What is he really planning?”

Carson Flores answered, ”His aim might be to draw in a large number of cultivators, let everyone kill each other, and he would profit from it...”

Aiden Roth, being quick-witted, responded: ”He wants us all to fight until we’re exhausted and controlled, unable to fight, so that the victor then goes to absorb the True Solar Fire, only to be burned to death by it, leaving behind a group of people with no combat power, allowing him to do as he pleases?”

Carson Flores calmly replied, ”I suppose that’s it. That’s why he leaves me alone and tries to incite me. I didn’t engage him. He threatened me, saying if he disliked me, he’d destroy me, but that’s all talk; he didn’t act.”

Aiden Roth sneered: ”Perhaps he lacks the ability. If he were capable, although we’re just a group of True Immortals, he, being a dignified Peak Heavenly Immortal, even if only a Primordial Spirit Incarnation, shouldn’t find it hard to deal with us, right?”

”You mentioned encountering someone using a banquet as a pretext to set up a formation to refine everyone’s essence blood for a breakthrough, was that the Alchemy Path?”

Carson Flores replied, ”If he’s just being malicious, wanting to watch others fight to the death over a chance, then never mind what I said. But if he has a goal, there are only two possibilities.”

Aiden Roth, clearly knowledgeable about the Alchemy Path, said, ”If it’s a broken Primordial Spirit, then he’s looking for a body to possess. If this body can also absorb True Solar Fire, then after possessing it, he could practice the Sun True Scripture...”

”If it’s a broken body, then he might attract a large number of immortals here, refining everyone’s essence blood to recover his body. The True Immortals only are targeted because Golden Immortals have strong combat power, and even if he’s a Heavenly Immortal, a broken Primordial Spirit or body might not withstand a desperate Golden Immortal...”

Carson Flores was slightly surprised; the specters emerged from the Ghost King Tomb indeed had sharp minds. He had only mentioned a start, yet they inferred everything else.

”Yes!”

Aiden Roth asked, ”Which possibility do you think is more likely?”

Carson Flores replied, ”Both are plausible, and I can’t determine which. But it’s certain that he isn’t strong now.”

Aiden Roth said solemnly, ”If we stop fighting now and he doesn’t show up, what do we do?”

Carson Flores replied, ”I tried to trick him earlier; I said we could break the formation from the inside out together. He didn’t argue, just said if I’m not interested, I should watch and even mentioned that he’d let me go once everything’s over...”

Aiden Roth sneered, ”He didn’t kill you outright or give you any substantial warning, meaning he’s afraid of us joining forces. It suggests he’s not powerful.”

Before Carson Flores could answer, a harrowing scream suddenly echoed, resonating throughout the space, extremely tragic.

Carson Flores glanced up, his expression growing graver.

The Peak True Immortal who attempted to absorb the True Solar Fire had his hand completely burning, with flames spreading rapidly.

Previously, the Peak True Immortal had turned his body sideways, using his right hand to approach the True Solar Fire in an attempt to absorb it, but the result was the same.

His hand caught fire.

Even with a Fire Spirit Root coupled with a Fire Technique, it couldn’t withstand the terrifying heat of the True Solar Fire. He hadn’t even touched it when it already ignited his hand.

With a wave of his left hand, the nearby floating Flying Sword swiftly sliced over, instantly severing his entire left arm. At the same time, he retreated backward, distancing himself from the flames.

His left arm dropped to the ground, immediately ignited by the True Solar Fire, and burnt away to ashes.

The man’s face turned ashen, filled with defeat, and the spectators exchanged looks, all momentarily aghast.

Even a Peak True Immortal with a Fire Spirit Root was so cautious, yet before even making contact, his arm was burned off. Could anyone withstand it?

Unlikely!

No wonder those from the White Crane Immortal Sect and the Ghost King Tomb distanced themselves from the battle one after another, even decisively giving up the fight for the True Solar Fire.

They were indeed wise.

The crowd exchanged looks, and no one dared to attempt absorbing the True Solar Fire anymore.

Someone couldn’t help but ask loudly, ”Elder, this True Solar Fire is too formidable for us to absorb. Is there any other way to be evaluated?”

An elderly voice sighed, ”Why is it so hard to find a disciple who can absorb the True Solar Fire? Alright, if you can’t absorb it, then forget it. I’ll just pick a general among you dwarfs. Battle each other! Whoever’s the strongest, I’ll teach the Sun True Scripture!”

”Back in the day, I barely survived getting the Sun True Scripture, ended up being hunted, and eventually died. Meanwhile, all you need is a fight and you can gain the supreme skill, just thinking about it makes me angry...”

”Fight! Fight with all you’ve got, let me see if your vigor is worthy of the Sun True Scripture!”
