My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 753 - 753: Resolving Them

Although the four of them were quite powerful, in that instant, hundreds of golden beams descended from the void, directly enveloping them.

At this point, the formation had already been established, and the twelve soldiers swiftly turned into shadows as they descended.

A flash of golden light passed, and as Ding True Man turned his head, a fresh wound appeared on his shoulder.

"Such speed!" Ding True Man's face darkened, and the aura of the Heaven-Fixing Realm erupted from him.

A layer of golden light surrounded him, and the crack on his shoulder instantly healed.

"These guys are no small matter!"

He hadn't paid much attention at first, but now, he realized he couldn't afford to underestimate them. Although his own strength was formidable, when these people worked together, they proved to be far more difficult to deal with than he had expected.

In the distance, Gu Lan witnessed the scene and his expression turned slightly darker. His eyes gleamed with killing intent.

No wonder this guy dared to come here with only twelve people. It seems he had already made preparations.

His face became grim as he stepped through the air.

The spiritual energy surged wildly, and the entire sky was soon enveloped in golden light.

The sky was blanketed by golden radiance, and the entire horizon seemed to lose its color.

Sensing this sudden surge of power, Shanggu Yan froze for a moment.

He looked over with a gloomy face and immediately locked onto Gu Lan's figure. A flash of murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"Who dares to be so arrogant here?"

His voice was icy, and in an instant, his power erupted.

Gu Lan's expression remained indifferent as the Hongmeng Sword appeared in his hand.

However, Gu Lan had no intention of engaging him in direct combat. He merely coldly spoke.

"I am the headmaster of Lanyan Royal School!"

His cold voice echoed across the sky, and his aura grew exponentially, multiplying by several times.

His strength had reached its peak, but the man before him seemed completely unperturbed.

Hearing this, Shanggu Yan let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with disdain.

"So you are the headmaster here. I thought you were too scared to come out!"

"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Leave now, or you will die soon!"

"To kill me, you need to have the strength to back it up!"

Shanggu Yan sneered and swung his long knife.

This strike was incredibly fast, with a faint layer of flame surrounding the blade.

Gu Lan, however, was taken aback but did not back down.

He gave him a cold glance, then effortlessly countered with a single strike.

The difference in power between them was not slight.

There was a loud bang, and Gu Lan remained motionless, yet he had already appeared thousands of feet away.

After stabilizing himself, Shanggu Yan was stunned.

However, the expression on his face did not last long, as rage quickly replaced his confusion.

"You are courting death! Since you are asking for it, don't blame me!"

He was one of the strongest in Upper God Clan, and he could not afford to lose to Gu Lan today!

Shanggu Yan was determined to continue fighting, but Gu Lan showed no interest in engaging with him further.

He cast him a cold glance, then shifted his gaze to the twelve soldiers.

"Can you deal with them?"

His voice reached Ding True Man's ears, and Ding True Man answered seriously.

"Rest assured, master, I will ensure that they come and go without return!"

Ding True Man, as well as Shadow Slave, no longer hid their power, and their auras erupted instantly.

Countless blood-colored light swept through the sky, and the formation of the twelve soldiers was instantly shattered.

"Boom... Boom..."

The sound of explosions echoed through the air, and the twelve soldiers were blasted back a hundred steps.

Shanggu Yan stared in disbelief at what was unfolding before him.

"How could this be?!"

At first, it was the twelve soldiers who seemed to have the upper hand, so how had they suddenly been defeated?

His face was filled with shock as he watched. Gu Lan, however, remained calm and cold. He raised his hand and swung the sword once more.

Before Shanggu Yan could react, he was struck by Gu Lan's sword, heavily injuring him.

Blood flowed down from his arm, and Shanggu Yan's face turned even paler.

"Damn it, you actually injured me! I will kill you!"

As a young lord of the Upper God Clan, he should have had the upper hand, but how could he have been wounded by Gu Lan?

He looked furious, and his true qi erupted wildly as he became a blur, charging toward Gu Lan.

However, no matter how fast he was, in Gu Lan's eyes, he was nothing more than an easy target.

Gu Lan didn't even look at him seriously, casually swinging his sword.

The long knife in Shanggu Yan's hand was extremely sharp, but he never even got close, and it was instantly shattered by Gu Lan's sword strike.

At this point, Gu Lan had lost all patience. He raised his hand and swung two more swords.

The movements seemed slow, but in reality, each strike was equivalent to a hundred moves.

Ripping sounds echoed through the air, and Shanggu Yan's body was covered in bloodstains.

After retreating hundreds of steps, Shanggu Yan's face had grown extremely pale.

His aura was almost entirely depleted, and when the twelve soldiers saw this, they hastily retreated.

However, it was already too late. Their previous actions had already provoked Ding True Man.

Now, Ding True Man didn't care about the consequences. He stepped forward, and the space beneath his feet instantly exploded.

"Do you think it's too late to leave now?"

With a roar, thousands of golden beams descended from the sky.

The explosions continued, and the twelve soldiers were directly swallowed up by this power.

Shanggu Yan, upon seeing this scene, froze in place.

"How is this possible?!"

"Still thinking of others at a time like this?"

Gu Lan's cold expression remained as he walked forward, the Hongmeng Sword gleaming with a cold light.

Feeling the chill emanating from the sword, Shanggu Yan's face darkened, and he turned his head.

But in that instant, the Hongmeng Sword was already pointed at his forehead.

"What do you want? I am the young lord of Upper God Clan! If I die, you won't fare any better!"

His words carried a hint of threat, but Gu Lan was utterly unmoved.

"Threatening me? Do you think you have the right to do so?"

Gu Lan didn't spare him, and with a swift motion, he drove his sword through Shanggu Yan's shoulder.

Of course, Gu Lan didn't strike to kill, for this person still had some use.

Shanggu Yan grimaced in pain, his eyes filled with hatred.

Before he could speak, Gu Lan struck again.

"I can give you a chance to survive, but it's up to you to decide whether you'll cherish it!"

"I don't need your charity. I, Shanggu Yan, young lord of Upper God Clan, would never allow myself to be defeated by you, nor be manipulated by you!"

His voice was cold, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his arm was severed in an instant.

"Did you think I was joking with you?"

At this moment, Shanggu Yan felt the chilling aura of death.

The sword had come so close that it was only an inch from his throat.

"What do you want from me?"

Finally, he chose to submit. In the face of absolute power, he had no room to resist!

"Hand over the treasures you possess, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

He was unwilling, but still handed over the treasure in his hand.

Gu Lan gave the long knife a quick glance and nodded in satisfaction.

However, he did not intend to let Shanggu Yan go just yet. He extended his hand again.

"As a young lord, you must have more treasures than just this, right?"

"I don't..."

"Mm?"

Gu Lan's voice was ice-cold, and the killing intent in his eyes was unmistakable.
