"Great Compassion Buddha Palm!"

A Buddhist technique was unleashed, blocking another black-robed man’s attack. Chen Nan lunged once more.

Everyone in the village could see Chen Nan’s ferocious form.

None of the black-robed enemies could withstand even a single breath before him.

Meanwhile, A Yin, A Bai, and the old priest and cultivators of Huotang Village all joined in, each blocking the black-robed men’s attacks, stabilizing the situation at last.

As the numbers of the black-robed men continued to dwindle, even the Golden Core Stage Third Layer ones were tightly entangled, seemingly hunted down and fleeing in a panic.

The remaining black-robed men immediately fell into chaos; they wanted to flee but didn’t dare, so they all retreated.

How could Chen Nan let them go? His strikes were ruthless and merciless, taking lives with every move, scaring the remaining black-robed men out of their wits.

With the help of the Mo Ying Flame and the Void Breaking Sword, Chen Nan completely annihilated the remaining black-robed men. He then paused, turning to look at the battle group on Chang Qing’s side.

Chang Qing relentlessly chased after the black-robed man, with the black-armored centipede on her arm having already left several wounds on him.

Seeing that he couldn’t hold on, this Golden Core Stage black-robed man made a desperate move, suddenly accelerating to shake off Chang Qing and then stopping.

He began chanting spells while stomping his foot incessantly, shaking his head as if a fake shaman performing a ritual.

However, Chang Qing, A Yin, and the old priest all turned pale.

"Not good, stop him; he’s summoning Gu!"

Summoning Gu was what A Yin had done before, communicating with the King Gu Nine Tribulations Heavenly Silkworm of the Heavenly Border, borrowing the power of the King Gu.

But they quickly came to their senses, letting out a mocking laugh.

"With your nefarious nature, why would the King Gu lend you power?"

But just as Chang Qing finished speaking, she was dumbfounded, as a phantom silhouette suddenly appeared behind the black-robed man, resembling a silkworm.

And the black-robed man’s aura multiplied several times!

"You actually borrowed the King Gu’s power? What’s wrong with the King Gu? Is it going to kill the believers it protects?"

Chang Qing, A Yin, and the old priest were all priests of the village, and could be considered the King Gu’s messengers, making them all the more distressed, even shedding tears.

Previously, they hadn’t been able to save the Immortal Epidemic, but now it was helping evil cultivators to kill them?

Isn’t this distinguishing between good and evil?

"Haha, the King Gu chose us, and you are the abandoned ones. Prepare to die!"

With the King Gu’s protection, this Golden Core Stage Gu Master became arrogant again, directing Gu insects at Chang Qing, leaving her overwhelmed. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Even though the little snake was there, the Gu insects trembled, yet still launched their attack.

"Let me handle it!"

A shout suddenly came from afar, and Chen Nan charged over instantly, appearing like a member of the Demon Clan, hurling a punch at the black-robed man.

The black-robed man snorted, "A mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator dares to boast? I’ll slaughter you!"

Facing the explosive fist, he remained calm, casually waving his hand, and a massive force surged forth, sending Chen Nan flying.

Chen Nan was greatly shocked, knowing this force didn’t belong to the black-robed man, but still astonished.

The King Gu of the Heavenly Border was indeed formidable.

Not far away, Chang Qing was being besieged by Gu insects; if not for the influence of the King of Ten Thousand Gu on those insects, she would have been killed by them long ago.

Yet despite this, she remained in great danger, with several more wounds on her body.

"Heh, is that all you have?" the black-robed man mocked, "Don’t worry, I’ll kill you last, after I’ve taken care of the others one by one. Then you’ll die!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan couldn’t hold back any longer, his breath growing heavy, mana surging within him, rumbling like thunder.

He forgot all about concealing his identity, only wanting to kill this old thing before his eyes.

With a roar, blazing golden flames erupted from him, mingled with deep black flames, majestic yet mysterious.

By assuming the Heavenly Fox Form, Chen Nan’s power had already multiplied, and with the Heaven-Burning Transformation, it increased further.

At that moment, he felt as if he could crush a mountain with one punch!

Of course, it was just an illusion, but the power raging within him was indeed astonishing.

Chen Nan charged at the black-robed man again, speeding up with every step, leaping high as he reached the enemy.

A Three-legged Pill Furnace suddenly appeared in his hand, crashing down with a mighty force!

The black-robed man felt a mighty wind approach, a roar pounding in his ears; he was instinctively alarmed, hurriedly drawing a circle in front of him with his hands, forming a transparent light shield.

The light shield was fully condensed by the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Silkworm through the black-robed man’s body.

Bam!

The pill furnace crashed heavily onto the light shield, a tempest blowing in all directions—yet such a powerful strike couldn’t shake the shield.

The black-robed man sighed in relief, sneering again at Chen Nan’s almost murderous gaze, "Now do you see the power of the King Gu? Still want to fight me?"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Nan’s lips suddenly curled into a vicious grin, swiftly retreating to gain distance.

From his fingertips, a white light shot forth abruptly.

Hongmeng Origin Thunder!

In the instant he saw the Hongmeng Origin Thunder, a sense of impending crisis welled in the black-robed man’s heart, every hair standing on end; it was too late to escape.

The Source Thunder struck the light shield directly and then erupted, blinding white lightning engulfed the black-robed man.

Boom!

As the lightning dissipated, the black-robed man appeared before everyone, now in a pitiful state, most of his body charred black, his hair standing on end.

Even the King Gu’s phantom behind him had vanished without a trace.

Inside his body, everything had been laid waste by the Source Thunder.

If not for the King Gu’s power, this strike would’ve left him with nothing but bones!

"Luckily..."

The black-robed man spat out a breath, not having time to rejoice, as Chen Nan, looking like a demon, appeared before him.

With a look of terror, Chen Nan raised the pill furnace and smashed it down fiercely.

Bam bam bam!

In just a few hits, the black-robed man was beaten into a pulp by the pill furnace, dead beyond doubt.

After killing all the black-robed men, Chen Nan withdrew the Heaven-Burning Flame, his body returning to normal.

However, when the people of the village looked at him, their eyes held a tinge of fear.

Previously, they respected Chen Nan for saving them.

But now, with blood covering him and having appeared like a demon, the children would have nightmares for nights to come.

As for A Yin and Chang Qing, they stood there shocked, as if struck by lightning.

They had seen Chen Nan’s demonic aspect but didn’t know he could be like the Fire God too.

As for the old priest, he slumped to the ground, dumbfounded!

"By the Gu God above, is this a Heavenly God?!"
