My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 766 - 766: The Battle Has Reversed

Gu Lan wore a chilling smile, and his voice was ice-cold as he spoke. The Hongmeng Sword rang with a series of sharp blade sounds as Gu Lan stepped forward, inching closer to his opponent.

Arthur, seeing the situation, darkened his expression, and a murderous aura flowed freely in his eyes.

"How is this possible..."

This was a formation that he had painstakingly set up, and yet, it failed to hold Gu Lan back.

Before Arthur could gather his thoughts, thousands of sword lights slashed down from the void.

A tearing sound rang out as the entire sky trembled.

Seeing this overwhelming force approaching, Arthur leaped into the air, quickly retreating tens of thousands of feet. Though he stabilized his posture, his face looked grim.

He hadn't sustained serious injuries, but cracks had appeared on his body.

Gu Lan, on the other hand, didn't retract his power; rather, it had intensified several times compared to before.

"Is this all the strength you have?"

After forcing Arthur back, Gu Lan couldn't resist sneering.

At this, Arthur's eyes burned with fury.

"Today, I will kill you!"

His internal energy surged, and his aura reached its peak.

The energy gathered in the air, dimming the sky, while fierce winds erupted around them.

"Let me show you the true power of this formation!" Arthur's voice was cold as the surrounding winds howled.

Shanggu Yulong, already in a weakened state, struggled to resist. His face was pale, and his body was drenched in blood. Being already injured, he could hardly stand up to this force.

Gu Lan's brow furrowed as he realized that this formation was stronger than he had expected. He had known it wasn't going to be weak, and now he understood that his earlier predictions had been right.

"So, this is all your hand can offer. Don't disappoint me!"

Gu Lan had already tampered with the formation earlier, intending to make Arthur unleash his full power. Only in this way could he harness the maximum potential of the formation—and then use that power to his advantage.

"Don't worry. I will make sure you die by my hands!"

Arthur had already lost patience. His eyes blazed with rage, and he slammed his palm down, causing a barrage of golden light to rain down from the sky.

The ripping sounds tore the air apart, and space around them seemed to collapse under the force.

This attack was devastatingly powerful. Shanggu Yulong was desperate, and his voice was filled with panic as he roared.

"Upper God Clan, hear my command—activate the formation!"

Though they had lost several strong warriors, the formation in place still held.

Hundreds of golden lights shot up into the sky, but compared to Arthur's attack, it was like a drop in the ocean, completely insufficient in comparison.

The faces of those within the formation looked grim as they struggled to hold their ground. But at least they were alive. Without the formation, they would have been annihilated by Arthur's overwhelming attack.

Gu Lan's face remained calm and cold as he swung his sword.

But in Arthur's eyes, it was merely a futile struggle. Why would he care?

"Today, you die. Stop resisting for nothing!" Arthur sneered.

The booming noises grew louder, and the entire battlefield seemed to grow dim under the tremendous forces clashing.

Gu Lan's sword light had been struck down, but still, he was drawn into the storm of power, unable to avoid it.

Arthur's cold sneer only deepened, his eyes filled with disdain. He was certain that Gu Lan could not withstand this attack. The end was near, and death awaited him.

Far away, Xue Lengyan had already arrived at the scene, drawn by the chaos caused by the Upper God Clan's forces.

The aura she sensed from afar was terrifying, a force that no ordinary person could survive.

Her face darkened as she realized that the power at play was far beyond what she had anticipated.

She could not help but feel a chill for Gu Lan—he had already consumed so much of his energy, and now, she wasn't sure if he would win. But Xue Lengyan wasn't concerned about Gu Lan's life. Their relationship was merely one of cooperation, after all.

What she worried about was the Bright Clan Divine Son, Arthur. If he took Gu Lan down, the Bright Clan would never spare other factions.

Time passed. The golden light continued to ascend, and yet, Gu Lan's figure remained conspicuously absent.

Xue Lengyan frowned, lost in thought. Could it be that Gu Lan had actually fallen?

Arthur stood arrogantly, his face twisting into an even more malicious grin.

"A futile struggle. You're dead. And as for the others in the Royal School, they'll die too!"

He spoke coldly, preparing to unleash even more power.

But just as he was about to move forward, an icy voice rang out from behind him.

"Are you sure I'm the one struggling between the two of us?"

Gu Lan's voice suddenly echoed, startling Arthur, who quickly turned around.

Seeing Gu Lan still standing, a look of disbelief spread across his face.

"You... How can you still be alive?"

This reaction had been completely expected by Gu Lan. He glanced at Arthur coldly.

"Seems like you're disappointed to see me alive."

Gu Lan's tone was filled with disdain. "Don't worry. As long as I'm alive, I won't let you off. I'll make sure you die completely!"

Arthur had become furious, his face twisted with anger. "Alive? So what? With the power of this formation, you're definitely dead today!"

He was enraged, and his energy flared up again.

However, as he attempted to manipulate the formation, he was shocked to find that the energy was no longer under his control.

Suddenly, a transformation occurred, and Arthur was left stunned as the energy that he had summoned turned against him, now heading directly toward Gu Lan.

Arthur stood frozen, unable to comprehend what was happening. The power he had unleashed was now in Gu Lan's hands.

Gu Lan observed Arthur's distressed expression with cold indifference.

"What's wrong? Can't control your own power anymore?" Gu Lan taunted. "Let me show you how this power works!"

Arthur panicked as he realized that the very energy that had once helped him suppress Gu Lan was now under Gu Lan's command. He had used this very power to keep Gu Lan at bay, but now, without it, he was powerless.

Gu Lan wasn't about to give him a moment to think. His expression was cold as he raised his hand and unleashed a powerful strike.

A barrage of golden light gathered from the sky, overwhelming and crushing all in its path.

The explosion of power was deafening, and the very heavens seemed to tremble under its weight.

Arthur's defenses shattered under the force, and before he could react, Gu Lan had already closed the distance.

Gu Lan turned his sword toward Arthur's back.

Arthur barely had time to react before the sword came crashing down.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle."

The sound of the blade cutting through the air rang out, and blood spurted as Arthur was sent flying backward, a great distance away.

Without the formation to bolster his strength, Arthur was powerless.

Gu Lan's strike had completely overwhelmed him.

With that, Gu Lan wasn't done. He immediately followed up with hundreds of additional sword strikes.

Arthur was now completely at his mercy. Unable to block the onslaught, he could do nothing but desperately dodge, his movements frantic and helpless.

Moments later, Arthur was covered in deep sword wounds. His face looked even worse than before, and he couldn't believe that he, who had once held the advantage, had been brought to this state by Gu Lan.

Gu Lan sneered, his aura growing even stronger.

The formation, which had helped restore his energy and enhanced his strength, had truly proven to be beneficial.
