My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 747 - 747: Just Fulfilling a Promise

With a cold expression, Gu Lan uttered those words and said nothing more as he raised his sword and moved forward.

Seeing Gu Lan approach, the two elders no longer held back. Their auras surged, and blood energy spread out, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

However, to Gu Lan, their power seemed pitifully weak. With a single slash, the blood energy that filled the air was instantly shattered.

With a resounding crack, the two elders were sent flying hundreds of yards away. They stabilized their bodies, and noticeable sword wounds appeared on their figures. Their gazes turned back to Gu Lan, now filled with undeniable seriousness.

They hadn't expected Gu Lan to be this powerful. They were unable to block his attack. However, what they didn't know was that Gu Lan hadn't used his full strength. Had he done so, they would have already been dead.

"What an arrogant brat! You will pay the price today!" One of the elders sneered.

Gu Lan chuckled disdainfully. "I'm the brat? You two have no idea of the situation."

"Listen closely. I have no interest in continuing to fight with you. If you know what's good for you, stand still and don't move. Otherwise..." His words trailed off, but the meaning was clear.

Gu Lan had come here with the sole purpose of holding these two back. Beyond that, he wasn't interested in anything else.

The two elders, being Blood Clan's high-ranking members, could never swallow this humiliation. They paid no heed to Gu Lan's warning.

"Let us show you the power of us two!" One of the elders growled, and both of them released their full bloodlust.

Bloodlight filled the entire sky as countless blood shadows shot toward Gu Lan.

Seeing that these two were still unwilling to back down, Gu Lan raised his hand and casually swung his sword.

This time, he only used fifty percent of his strength, but the incoming blood shadows were crushed into pieces.

From the distance, Xue Lengyan saw this and smiled coldly. Her gaze then shifted to Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng.

"So these two elders are your last trump card, huh? Now let's see what else you have!" Her voice was icy, with no hint of emotion.

With those words, she unsheathed her own sword.

A slash of her blade immediately severed Xue Wuheng's arm. Blood sprayed everywhere, and his face turned deathly pale.

She had no intention of letting these two catch a break. With a cold glance, she turned and swung her sword again.

The blood-red sword light flickered, engulfing the two elders completely.

"Zzz... Zzz..."

Blood energy filled the sky, and the stench of blood saturated the air. After some time, Xue Lengyan stopped her attack.

At this point, both Xue Wuheng and Xue Wuyan were completely exhausted. Their bodies swayed in the air, their faces grim.

"You can't kill us!" Xue Wuyan shouted with a wheeze, his voice laced with panic.

"We won't spare your lives!" Xue Wuheng added, his breath labored.

The two had believed they were in control, but now it was evident they had lost.

"If I don't kill you two, my position as Young Lord will never be secure." Xue Lengyan said with a cold laugh, her voice dripping with contempt.

She didn't even give them a chance to respond, swiftly bringing her sword down. In an instant, both of them had no chance to resist, and their bodies were cleaved in two.

Blood sprayed into the air, and the two were swiftly dealt with.

Shaking the blood from her blade, Xue Lengyan didn't even glance at their bodies as she turned her attention to the rest of the battlefield.

With a fierce burst of energy, she addressed the remaining combatants.

"They've been killed by me. What are you all still fighting for?"

"Submit to me, and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, die!"

Xue Lengyan had already made her calculations. These warriors, although strong, were now hers to command.

Originally, they were the subordinates of Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng. Now, witnessing their deaths, they were uncertain of what to do.

However, they all understood that if they continued fighting, their outcome would be no different from that of their masters. Death was certain.

Seeing that her problems had been taken care of, Gu Lan relaxed slightly. He withdrew his sword and let the Hongmeng Sword's light dissipate. He had already done his part and wasn't interested in staying any longer.

"I've held them off for you. What happens next has nothing to do with me," he said coolly, his eyes fixed on Xue Lengyan.

Xue Lengyan nodded in agreement. She was grateful for Gu Lan's assistance and knew that it was now her turn to deal with things. She didn't wish to trouble him any further.

However, as soon as Gu Lan turned to leave, the two elders appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

Their eyes burned with fury, their bodies cloaked in blood energy, still furious and unwilling to accept defeat.

"Do you really think we're easy targets? Today, we will kill you!" One of the elders bellowed.

They had never been willing to admit defeat. From the beginning, Gu Lan had never truly fought them. Though they had failed earlier, they were still determined to fight on.

Seeing this, Gu Lan let out a weary sigh, clearly frustrated. "Why bother? You know you're no match for me, so why insist on this?"

He had no interest in these two anymore. He was merely fulfilling his previous promise.

"Enough talk. Prepare to die!" One of the elders hissed.

With that, they launched an attack.

Countless blood beams shot toward Gu Lan, accompanied by violent explosions.

Gu Lan remained rooted in place, but his eyes grew cold with murderous intent.

He had no desire to continue this fight, but since they insisted on dying, he wouldn't stop them.

The energy from the blood beams was intense, but they didn't even come close to hitting him.

With a cold glance, Gu Lan raised his hand and struck.

"Boom!"

With a single slash, the blood beams were completely shattered.

The two elders were flung backward, crashing into the distance.

Though they tried to steady themselves, their faces turned pale with humiliation.

"How? You didn't use your full strength earlier!" One of them gasped, incredulity in his voice.

Gu Lan's tone was dismissive. "When did I say I was using my full strength? I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. Now don't blame me for what's coming."

He was done with these two. He never wanted to kill them, but they just wouldn't stop.

"Can I kill them?" Gu Lan asked, turning to Xue Lengyan before finishing them off.

Xue Lengyan, clearly eager to end the matter, nodded quickly. "Please, do as you wish. If you want to kill them, I have no objections."

Gu Lan nodded coldly and, as the two elders prepared for another attack, he moved swiftly.

In a flash, he appeared right in front of them.

"Goodbye, you two."

He gave them a final chance to live, but they refused. Now, it was time to end it.

With those cold words, he raised his hand and struck.

"Splat..."

Blood sprayed into the air. The two elders stiffened, their bodies going limp as their life forces dissipated.

Before they could speak, their bodies crumpled and fell from the sky.
