160: A divine eye? A blind man? (Forty-five)

"Come!"

You Chen let out a long howl.

He did not wait passively to be besieged; instead, he chose to take the initiative and attack.

He moved.

Dark-green divine light interlaced on the surface of his body as the power of the You Que Divine Body and the Blue Luan Origin erupted without reservation at this moment.

His figure turned into a blurry afterimage, and his first target was the Old Man in Dan Robe holding the Purple-Gold Gourd.

To capture the bandits, one must first capture their leader.

Among these people, the Old Man in Dan Robe, the middle-aged man activating the Ice-Blue Array Map, and the general in Crimson Armor were the three Grotto-Heaven Realm Middle Stage experts.

They were the absolute core.

"Arrogant!"

Seeing You Chen dare to attack proactively, the Old Man in Dan Robe was not startled but instead enraged.

He activated a hand seal, and the Purple-Gold Gourd in his hand instantly burst with light.

A stream of black divine water gushed out from the mouth of the gourd, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long black water dragon that bared its fangs and claws as it charged toward You Chen.

The divine water emitted a terrifying Aura that could corrode everything, even eroding the space itself with a sizzling sound.

You Chen neither dodged nor avoided it.

He threw a punch.

Simple and direct.

At the tip of his fist, the dark-green divine light condensed into a single point, as if it could tear through everything.

Boom!

The fist and the head of the black water dragon collided heavily.

There was no world-shaking explosion.

Only a dull, massive thud.

The powerful black water dragon shattered inch by inch from head to tail, turning back into a sky full of black water droplets that scattered in all directions.

You Chen's figure emerged from the water mist, completely unharmed.

His movements were bold and unconstrained, pushing forward with indomitable will.

"Attack together!"

The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he shouted sternly.

He and the middle-aged female Cultivator exerted their power simultaneously, and the Ice-Blue Array Map above their heads descended violently.

Cold Qi transformed into countless ice cones, shooting toward You Chen.

At the same time.

The battle array formed by the group of Cultivators in Crimson Armor also moved.

The flame behemoth roared and strode forward, its massive flaming fist carrying an astonishing momentum as it smashed toward You Chen from another direction.

Three forces and dozens of experts formed a perfect encirclement at this moment.

Facing this dead-end situation, the Battle Intent in You Chen's eyes burned to its peak.

He did not retreat in the slightest.

Behind him was Jun Yun.

He had no way to retreat.

"Dark Sparrow Burns the Heavens!"

You Chen threw his head back and howled.

The phantom of a massive black divine bird emerged behind him.

That was the divine form of the Dark Sparrow.

It spread its wings, and endless black flames swept out, colliding violently with the sky full of ice cones and the flame behemoth.

And at the very center of the battlefield.

Jun Yun still sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

All the clamor of the outside world could not affect him in the slightest.

His mind had long since sunk into that cluster of docile Nine-Colored Divine Fire.

Those Double Pupils were emitting a profound light at this moment.

The light passed through his eyelids, directly piercing into the Origin of the Nine-Colored Divine Fire.

In Jun Yun's 'vision', the divine fire was no longer just flames, but a living entity composed of countless profound and complex Law runes.

Its core was a ceaselessly throbbing nine-colored point of light, filled with a primitive and unyielding will.

"Submit, or be annihilated."

Jun Yun's will turned into a cold Divine Thought, directly imprinting itself onto the Origin of the divine fire.

At the same time.

The Azure Heaven Pagoda Record within his body began to operate quietly.

A powerful suction force radiated from within him.

The violent fire elements in the surrounding heaven and earth, as well as the power radiating from the divine fire itself, turned into visible streams of light and were forcibly absorbed into his body.

They were converted for his own use.

Not only that.

Jun Yun even mobilized the power of the You Que Divine Body within himself.

Refining fire with fire.

He used his own Origin divine fire to temper and suppress this divine fire of heaven and earth.

The Origin of the Nine-Colored Divine Fire sensed an unprecedented threat.

It struggled violently, erupting with even more frenzied power in an attempt to break free from Jun Yun's control.

Jun Yun's expression remained calm.

He endured the immense pressure brought by the divine fire's backlash, his expression not changing in the slightest.

The power that was enough to incinerate a Grotto-Heaven Realm expert seemed to have no effect on him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the other side, You Chen's battle had reached a fever pitch.

With his strength alone, he stubbornly held back all the experts from the three forces.

He was covered in blood, and his body was riddled with wounds of various sizes.

There were marks of corrosion from the divine water, paleness from being frostbitten by the cold Qi, and scorched blackness from being burned by the fierce flames.

However, the intensity of his attacks did not diminish in the slightest.

Instead, they became increasingly wild.

He was peerlessly brave, his punches and kicks carrying immense power.

Those Guiyi Realm Cultivators did not dare to approach within a hundred zhang of him.

With the slightest carelessness, they would be shaken into a bloody mist by the violent wind from his punches.

Only those six Grotto-Heaven Realm experts could contend with him head-on.

"Damn it! What kind of monster is this guy!"

The Old Man in Dan Robe was exasperated.

He had pushed his Purple-Gold Gourd to its limit, yet he still couldn't completely suppress You Chen.

"We can't drag this on any longer!"

The middle-aged man's expression turned ruthless.

He could feel that the Aura of the Nine-Colored Divine Fire behind them was being rapidly refined by that blind man.

"Kill him first!"

They no longer held anything back.

The Old Man in Dan Robe suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the Purple-Gold Gourd.

The gourd instantly erupted with a piercing blood-red light, and a black water dragon even more solid and terrifying than before roared out.

The middle-aged male and female Cultivators formed hand seals with both hands, and that massive Ice-Blue Array Map actually began to shrink, finally transforming into a crystal-clear blue ice sword that hovered before them.

The tip of the sword locked onto You Chen's heart from afar.

The general in Crimson Armor let out a roar, gathering all the power of the battle array into himself.

His entire being merged with that flame behemoth, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall flame demon god.

Three powerful attacks from three directions locked onto You Chen simultaneously.

You Chen felt a fatal crisis.

But he still did not retreat.

The spiritual energy within his body began to burn frantically.

However, just as he was prepared to fight for his life.

The other three Grotto-Heaven Realm Early Stage experts, who had been lingering on the edge of the battle circle, seized this opportunity.

A flash of ruthlessness appeared in one of their eyes.

He silently circled to You Chen's flank and rear.

That was the place where You Chen's defense was weakest.

A longsword silently stabbed toward the back of You Chen's heart.

Puchi!

All of You Chen's attention was drawn by the three frontal attacks.

He had not expected at all that someone would use such a despicable method to launch a sneak attack at this time.

A cold and malicious power instantly exploded within his body, frantically destroying his life force.

"Puh—"

You Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body swayed violently.

The Aura on his body rapidly declined.

It was in this moment of stagnation.

The three frontal attacks arrived.

Boom!

The black water dragon, the blue ice sword, and the giant fist of the flame demon god.

The three forces slammed solidly into You Chen's body.

You Chen's body was violently thrown back.

Finally, he crashed heavily onto the ground.

He struggled, trying to stand up.

But that malicious power that had invaded his body was frantically eroding his Divine Soul.

His vision began to turn black.

He knelt on one knee on the ground, using his last bit of strength to lift his head and stare fixedly at those besiegers.

In those emperor-like eyes, there was no fear and no begging for mercy.

There was only a Battle Intent that would never compromise.

"Big Brother Jun..."

He murmured in a low voice, his consciousness beginning to blur.

"Am I... useless..."

Just as he was about to faint.

An unwilling cry rang out between heaven and earth.

Under the crushing weight of Jun Yun's will, that violent Nine-Colored Divine Fire finally gave up its resistance completely.

It rapidly shrank, turning into a nine-colored stream of light, and finally merged completely into Jun Yun's body.

Buzz—

Jun Yun's body shook violently.

Nine-colored divine light soared into the sky from within him, illuminating the entire world with brilliant splendor.

When the Old Man in Dan Robe and the others saw You Chen fall, they had just shown expressions of wild joy.

But in the next second, they felt this powerful and terrifying pressure.

"Not good! That person has refined the divine fire!"

"Kill him! Before he completely refines it!"

After the brief shock came even more frenzied greed.

The Grotto-Heaven Realm Early Stage expert who had succeeded in the sneak attack had a hideous expression.

He was closest to the fallen You Chen.

As long as he killed him and then went to kill that blind man, the divine fire would be his.

He grinned hideously, and with a flash of his figure, he charged toward the already defenseless You Chen.

The longsword in his hand was aimed at You Chen's head, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

Just then.

A cold and majestic voice rang in his ear.

"You dare touch my person..."

Jun Yun slowly lifted his head.

His eyes were no longer pitch black.

Instead, they had turned into a profound nine colors.

Within the Double Pupils, nine-colored divine light flowed, incredibly deep.

His gaze directly locked onto the expert charging toward You Chen.

A powerful and mysterious pupil power instantly descended.

The body of that Grotto-Heaven Realm expert suddenly froze in mid-air.

He discovered that he could not move.

No.

It wasn't that he couldn't move.

It was that the space, time, and even the Laws around him were completely imprisoned by an invisible force.
