My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 746 - 746: Absolutely Not Striking to Kill

Gu Lan scanned his surroundings with a cold expression, but after a short while, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes. The area was vast, and apart from the two of them, there was not a hint of any other person's presence. He was utterly puzzled and could not understand why Xue Lengyan had brought him here.

"This place doesn't have anyone else's presence. Speak, why have you brought me here?" he asked, his tone icy and devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing his words, Xue Lengyan smiled faintly. "Don't be in such a hurry, Young Master. They'll be here soon," she replied calmly.

Her expression remained cold, and there was a murderous intent in her eyes. Since she had gone to such lengths to bring Gu Lan here, she certainly had a plan in mind. After all this effort, how could she let Gu Lan come here for nothing?

Gu Lan glanced at her briefly and then turned his gaze toward the distance.

---

The space in the distance suddenly ripped apart, and the air was filled with bloodthirsty energy. Hundreds of figures emerged in a flash.

Seeing this, Gu Lan was taken aback. His expression darkened, and the Hongmeng Sword appeared in his hand.

This was quite a grand display, no wonder Xue Lengyan had urged him to take action. True energy began to surge from his body, and just as he was about to move forward, Xue Lengyan raised her hand to stop him.

"Your opponents are not them," she said, stopping him.

At the forefront of the hundreds of figures was Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng, who immediately locked their cold gazes onto Xue Lengyan.

"You're quite the schemer, even your own brother isn't spared!" the cold voice of Xue Wuyan rang out.

Upon hearing their cold words, Xue Lengyan's face remained expressionless, but a flash of murderous intent flickered in her eyes.

"Don't worry, you two are just the same as him!" she responded, her voice filled with disdain.

"I'd like to see if you have the strength to back that up!" Xue Wuyan retorted coldly.

The two exchanged cold gazes as the murderous aura in the air intensified. Behind them, the hundreds of figures radiated overwhelming pressure, and their combined strength was formidable. These were not just any random figures; they were the carefully selected elite fighters of the Blood Clan, each one handpicked for their strength.

However, Xue Lengyan did not flinch. There was no fear in her expression, only a trace of disdain.

"Do you really think I don't know about your plan?" she taunted, her voice laced with mockery. "If I had no preparation, I wouldn't have come here."

Just as the hundreds of figures were about to approach, Xue Lengyan shouted coldly, "Come out, let these fools see what you're capable of!"

As her cold voice echoed, the space behind her trembled, and hundreds of figures rushed out.

Feeling the sudden surge of energy behind him, Gu Lan turned his gaze and saw the new arrivals. The murderous intent in his eyes intensified. No wonder Xue Lengyan had acted so confidently; it seemed she had been well-prepared.

However, Gu Lan was curious—if she had already arranged for such strong opponents, why had she brought him here?

"Since you've already arranged for these strong people, why bring me here?" Gu Lan asked, his voice cold and calm.

Xue Lengyan smiled faintly, and her tone was equally calm as she explained, "These two have arranged more than just these few strong individuals."

Everyone in the Blood Clan knew the strength of Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng. They had many powerful subordinates, and it was impossible that just these few hundred would be all they had. What was more important was that behind these two, the Blood Clan Elders were backing them up.

From what Xue Lengyan had gathered, these two had even arranged for two Elders to join in. She had brought Gu Lan here to delay those two Elders and buy herself some time.

In the blink of an eye, those figures in the distance had already engaged in battle. Blood-red light filled the sky, and Gu Lan retreated several thousand meters, his expression cold as he moved farther away.

After all, this was a Blood Clan matter, and he didn't want to get too involved. As Xue Lengyan joined the fight, she locked her sights on Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng, her two opponents.

Although Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng were powerful, they were quickly subdued by Xue Lengyan's overwhelming force. The two of them were completely dominated and had no chance to fight back.

"Boom!" With a loud crash, Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng were sent flying back, crashing hundreds of meters away.

They stabilized themselves, but their expressions darkened. The blood energy within them was nearly depleted. They had initially thought that with their combined strength, they could overpower Xue Lengyan, but the results were completely unexpected.

Seeing their difficult situation, Xue Lengyan let out a cold laugh, showing no intention of holding back. She was relentless, her aura still surging with energy.

"Earlier, weren't you both so arrogant? Why is it that now you're afraid?" she mocked.

Her words were filled with scorn, completely disregarding the two men.

The sight of this only enraged Xue Wuheng and Xue Wuyan further. As they raised their heads, hundreds of blood-colored sword lights fell from the sky, tearing through the air with deafening sound.

The space around them shattered, and a tremendous explosion rocked the heavens. The blood-red light filled the entire sky, casting everything in a ghastly glow.

When the sword lights finally dissipated, Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng were revealed, standing hundreds of meters away, their bodies drenched in blood. They had barely survived, but their appearance was miserable.

Xue Lengyan, however, made no move to strike again. Instead, she looked toward the distance.

"Two Elders, if you don't show up now, these two will die in my hands!" she called out in a cold voice.

With her words, the space in the distance was ripped apart, and two figures in red robes descended from the sky. They landed several hundred meters away, their faces icy cold, and their murderous aura was palpable.

"Xue Lengyan, you truly have a good method. Even we, the Elders, were spotted by you!" one of the Elders said, their voice laced with coldness and a murderous edge.

They had not planned to intervene, as this was supposed to be a dispute between Young Lords. However, given the situation, they had no choice but to reveal themselves. If they didn't act, Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng would certainly perish.

"We'll give you a chance. You go first, or we'll have to step in to avoid bullying you!" the other Elder added, his tone equally cold.

Upon hearing their words, Xue Lengyan sneered disdainfully. "No need. Your opponents are not me!"

Having said that, her gaze shifted toward Gu Lan.

Gu Lan, who had already noticed her glance, stepped forward, his expression unchanged. His face was unusually cold, and he showed no sign of hesitation.

Seeing him approach, the two Elders froze momentarily. However, they quickly recovered and sneered mockingly.

"You want to rely on this guy? Do you really think he can fight us?" they said, their laughter tinged with disdain.

The Elders were Blood Clan's Elders, and they certainly had the strength to look down on someone like Gu Lan.

Xue Lengyan had long since grown accustomed to their arrogance. They were Blood Clan's Elders, and they certainly had the right to be smug.

But this time, they had miscalculated. Gu Lan was not someone they could afford to offend. With the little strength they possessed, he could easily deal with them.

"I'll handle them for you, but if you want them dead, it's your problem," Gu Lan replied coldly, his eyes flashing with a glint of disdain.

Xue Lengyan was pleased. If Gu Lan could deal with the Elders, it would save her a lot of trouble.

Gu Lan, however, simply chuckled. He understood Xue Lengyan's motives well. Killing these Elders would only bring him more trouble.

"I'll just hold them off for you. I won't kill them."
