Chapter 210 Innate Strength and Vulcan Cult
After eating and drinking enough, and with the help of the blood refining pill, his qi and blood regained its fullness, and then he moved around the village to consolidate and adapt to his current body.

To be honest, after these several waves of continuous strengthening, he has become a lot stranger to his own body, and it is not easy to fully control it.

Fortunately, maybe his aptitude has improved now, and his adaptability seems to have increased a bit.

After that, Xu Gu'an lived in this village for a few more days.

On this day, the village chief looked at the darkening sky and said worriedly, "Mother, Brother Xu hasn't come back yet."

Even a child in his early ten years old knew how dangerous the night in the wild was.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen, your big brother Xu is amazing." Li Ying, wife of the village head, smiled.

"Well, Big Brother Xu is the best!" Dawa's tone was full of reverence.

These days, when Xu Gu An had nothing to do, he would occasionally teach these children about body exercises.

Now he has mastered many martial arts and martial arts, and he can definitely be regarded as a famous teacher in terms of teaching people.

You can see the shortcomings and strengths of several children in body training at a glance, and then you only need to teach them in accordance with their aptitude and prescribe the right medicine.

The qualifications of these children are not too bad in the village, and they are willing to learn. This may have something to do with the education of the village chief's family since childhood.

Under Xu Gu'an's guidance, several children's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, not to mention that the eldest child also learned a set of gray-grade sword skills from him.

Even if you haven't fully started yet, you have already mastered the essentials, and it's only a matter of time before you get a formal introduction to the knife technique.

Don't underestimate this little set of gray-grade knife skills.

For the village, such a set of gray-grade martial arts is even enough to be passed down from generation to generation for the entire village.

Just like Xujia Village back then, no one in the whole village has mastered a set of martial arts, which can be seen.

Therefore, the eldest child respected Xu Gu'an, and the village chief's family respected Xu Gu'an even more, so they almost kowtowed.

After all, this is a set of advanced martial arts!

In fact, if a few children can master higher-level martial arts, he doesn't mind teaching one or two sets.

It's just limited by qualifications and age, mastering a set of low-level martial arts is already their limit.

boom!
Outside the village, a large rock as tall as a person suddenly shattered, and stone chips and dust filled the air.

Xu Gu'an slowly retracted his fists and slapped the dust off his hands.

"Although I haven't mastered the innate strength, but it's just pure strength, and it should not be inferior to the power of the innate realm!" Xu Gu'an evaluated in his heart.

But since he hasn't really fought against a congenital master, this can only be regarded as his inference.

And if he activates the curse seal and enters the explosive seed state, his physical strength can almost triple in a short period of time!
This is a terrifying increase, far exceeding the power of the previous spells.

Xu Gu'an named it the God's Mantra, and now it seems that it does have the terrifying power of the God's Mantra. With two overruns and fusion, it has already surpassed the original Moon God's mantra.

Even his mental strength has been significantly increased under the strengthening of the magic spell.

Pulling out the black knife, Xu Gu'an practiced his knife skills on the hillside.

I saw the black knife turning into a black light in the air, tearing the air crazily, and making a crisp knife sound.

The long grass on the ground was instantly bent by the wind of the knife he aroused.

With a heavy step, the whole person jumped out in an instant, passing tens of meters.

Three big trees fell down along the way.

All are one-size-fits-all, with smooth edges and no hindrance.

Xu Gu'an chopped off the three big trees like cutting tofu.

Ordinary blood refiners can't even catch the timing of Xu Gu'an's knife, they can only see the black light flickering for a moment.

call.
Xu Gu'an let out a breath, put the black knife back into the scabbard, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

With the consolidation of the past few days, he has basically adapted to the current physical strength, and can basically grasp the terrifying power that he has been transformed by the magic spell.

Now he is very strong!

If he was in the state of his strength before the fusion, even if ten of them go together, now he has the confidence to kill them one by one!

"It's time to go back." Looking at the darkening sky, Xu Gu'an walked towards the village.

Now that the strength of this surge has been consolidated, he plans to set off on the road again tomorrow.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Xu Gu'an, who had just walked for a while, stopped and looked at the unusual fire burning in the village from a distance, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

In the village, in an open field.

A huge fire circle ignited a fire, illuminating most of the village.

Outside the circle of fire, a group of figures in black robes surrounded them, standing there quietly with their hands down.

Some men in black robes grabbed some wounded villagers and threw them straight into the center of the fire circle.

At this moment, many villagers have been trapped in the circle of fire, including those old and weak women and children.

It also included the village chief's family. The village chief's wife, Li Yingzheng, was crying and begging for several of her children.

I hope the other party can let her children go.

However, the man in black robe outside the circle of fire was not moved at all, just stood there indifferently, waiting quietly.

And not far from the ring of fire, there was a row of wooden crosses on which many young and strong men from the village were nailed.

Among them was the stubborn village head, whose hands and feet were nailed to a wooden frame with iron rods, his head was bowed, and a lot of blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

After everyone in the village was caught in the circle of fire, more people in black robes walked back slowly from all over the village and gathered near the flames.

"The great Vulcan gave us warmth, gave us food, gave us life, and strength
He is so glorious, so divine.
Today, I, the most devout believer, offer you the brightest sacrifice.”

One of the men in black clasped his hands together, made a gesture of unknown meaning, and then continued to chant the oath.

The other men in black also lowered their heads one after another, made the same gesture with both hands, and prayed silently.

"Please, let the children go, they are still young!"

"Help, I don't want to die yet."

"Who are you and why are you doing this to us!"

The villagers in the circle of fire begged bitterly.

However, their cries could not interrupt the prayers and chanting of the man in black at all.

After a long time, the man in black who chanted first slowly raised his head, revealing a haggard old face under the black robe.

"Children who are lost, this is the most glorious moment in your life. You will meet Vulcan and get all your salvation from him."

The old man in black robe showed a gentle smile, opened his hands, and told all the villagers in the circle of fire.

As if to pronounce a sentence, the fate of all these people was decided like a god.

Any cries are useless, this dark night is too long for this group of villagers.

"Let's begin." The old man in black robe said.

The clasped hands of the group of black-robed men suddenly lit up with flames, and they were still chanting words.

At the same time, the flames in the circle of fire suddenly surged and spread to the inside of the circle.

The severe high temperature and gradually thinning air made the villagers even more panicked, and the children cried heart-piercingly out of fear.

The big baby in Li Ying's arms clenched his teeth. He didn't cry out of fear, but just stared angrily at the people in black robes around him.

The small body stood upright, blocking in front of mother Li Ying and younger siblings.

"Big Brother Xu"

Xiao Hei in the village chief's house was also dragged out by a man in black.

"This horse is good, you can keep it," said the old man in black robe.

"Yes." The black-robed man nodded and pulled the horse aside.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the dark night, jumped high and easily into the ring of fire.

Then, the figure stepped down heavily.

boom!
The ground surrounding the flames suddenly sank, and the soil flew up and then fell, instantly burying the flames and quelling them, leaving only black smoke billowing.

The flame was extinguished for a while, which also made the villagers in the fire circle feel better.

And the people in black robes around were all shocked, staring at the figure who destroyed their ceremony.

"Brother Xu!" The eldest child of the village head's family recognized Xu Gu'an's back at a glance, and was immediately overjoyed.

In his eyes, Xu Gu'an is a hidden and unrivaled powerhouse.

It is their only hope now.

Xu Gu'an glanced around and sighed secretly when he saw the villagers behind him who were almost burned as sacrifices, as well as the village chief who was nailed to the wooden frame.

They really suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

He has seen too many tragedies happen along the way, almost, the village where he is located will be reduced to another tragedy.

The only difference is that this time he was also involved.

Looking at the similar fire rings and wooden frames, this method of holding the so-called fire sacrifice ceremony comes from the Vulcan religion.

There is no doubt that the group of people in black robes in front of them are members of the Vulcan Sect.

The old man in black robe stared at Xu Gu'an who appeared, with a cold light floating in his eyes.

"Take him down." The black-robed old man gave an order.

Immediately, the men in black robes on the side immediately set off and killed Xu Gu'an.

Some of them were unarmed, while others drew their weapons.

In terms of body training and cultivation, these black-robed people are not very powerful, and some of them have not even done serious training at all.

It's all about spells.

The believers of the Moon God Sect have spells to protect them, and the believers of the Vulcan Sect also have spells available.

Different from the moon god's spell, cannibalism and explosive seeds, the trick of these Vulcan believers is to rub the flames with their bare hands.

It is said that this is the power of Vulcan they believe in. In terms of expressiveness, these people who play with fire are indeed more mysterious.

Xu Gu'an had seen the flames they released with his own eyes when he was in the desert before, so he was mentally prepared when these people really rubbed out the flames with their bare hands, and did not panic.

One of the black-robed men who rushed to the front, with both arms braving boiling flames, swung Xu Gu'an's arms.

Two condensed fireballs were thrown out by him and shot straight at Xu Gu'an.

With a movement of Xu Gu'an's body, he easily avoided the attack of the fireball.

Wanting to test the power of the fireball, he swung the black knife sideways and slashed at the fireball.

There was a bang, and the fireball that was cut by Xu Guan burst into pieces of sparks in the air.

Then he suddenly realized that another fireball was dodged by him and flew towards the crowd.

Kick it sideways again, and intercept another fireball.

boom!
The fireball was kicked into pieces by Xu Gu'an.

"The power of this flame is nothing more than that." Xu Gu'an looked at the scattered sparks from his leg armor and thought to himself.

I just feel that it seems a bit overestimated the power of the flames in these people's hands.

And those members of the Vulcan Cult were also shocked, including the leading old man in black robe.

From their point of view, Xu Guan not only easily avoided the two incoming fireballs in an instant, but also smashed one at almost the same time, and kicked the other.

This series of actions was completed in an instant, and whether it was the body's response ability, coordination ability, or speed burst, it was almost at its peak.

This person is an absolute master!
Xu Gu An's feet landed on the ground, and then his speed exploded again, like the shadow of an arrow leaving the string, intersecting with the rushing Vulcan believers.

The black knife turned into a ray of black light, very inconspicuous in the darkness, but it directly beheaded those few Vulcan believers one after another.

It's not cut off at the middle, or the corpse is separated.

Seeing this, the rest of the Vulcan believers who hadn't moved at all joined in one after another to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Xu Gu'an alone.

One after another, the fireballs smashed towards Xu Gu'an.

The black knife in Xu Gu'an's hand flickered continuously, chopping up the incoming fireballs one by one.

He consciously stayed away from the villagers to prevent the battle from affecting them.

He himself has an extremely powerful body and is not afraid of flames, but those villagers, old and weak, women and children are not.

Those Vulcan believers who hold weapons also burn high-temperature flames on their weapons, which makes their weapons more powerful than the attachment of blood.

This move alone allowed them to defeat many blood refiners.

Of course, except Xu Gu'an, a blood refiner.

Even though the other party was holding a fire knife, waves of fire emerged while waving it, but facing the black knife that Xu Gu'an slashed, it still didn't look good enough.

Either the Fire Knife was thrown out of his hand by Xu Gu An's tyrannical force, or it was cut in half by Xu Gu An.

Even their individuals were beheaded on the spot.

Xu Gu'an had no intention of holding back against these evil cultists.

Today, he is going to start a killing spree!
"Sinners, catch them before they hang their hands!" With a muffled shout, a tall Vulcan believer intercepted Xu Gu'an.

There is a small flame pattern on the center of his brow, which is constantly shining.

Raising his hands, a large wave of fire swept towards Xu Gu'an in an instant.

The power and temperature of this flame seem to be much greater than that of other Vulcan believers.

Xu Guan swung the knife in his hand, but the wind of the knife could not extinguish the fire wave, so he had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

"A master at the innate level." Xu Gu'an's heart skipped a beat.

He judged that the one in front of him could basically compare to those elite monsters in the seventh-level fire demon dungeon.

Seeing that Xu Gu'an was forced to retreat, the elite clapped his hands, and an invisible heat surged, instantly engulfing Xu Gu'an's surroundings.

Xu Gu'an only felt a sense of suffocation coming. The area where he was located was sluggish and isolated.

The burning sensation made the hairs on his body feel like they were about to ignite.
