My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 778 - 778: Pulling Gu Lan into the Game

Gu Lan's expression showed confusion as his gaze turned towards Changsheng. At this moment, Changsheng was staring into the distance with a faint, meaningful smile on his face. Although the smile was subtle, it was still noticed by Gu Lan.

Realization dawned on Gu Lan; he now understood what Changsheng was plotting. This man was playing his cards well. The trouble his clan was facing would soon drag him down as well. The action was nothing more than a move to tie Gu Lan's fate to his own, forcing them to fight together.

"Reincarnate Clan Leader, your clan's strong warriors have been consecutively defeated. Why don't you take action?" Gu Lan spoke as he summoned the Hongmeng Sword. His aura exploded as he readied himself for battle.

Since Changsheng wanted his help, Gu Lan would give him exactly what he wanted.

Stepping forward, Gu Lan pointed the Hongmeng Sword towards the sky, and tens of thousands of sword images appeared around him.

Changsheng, taken aback by Gu Lan's power, froze for a moment. The strength Gu Lan displayed was far beyond what he had expected.

Before Changsheng could speak, Gu Lan turned to him and asked, "Can your clan's warriors withstand this strike?"

Changsheng, now confused, could only reply, "What does Master Gu mean?"

Gu Lan, with a calm demeanor, explained, "This attack will be indiscriminate. Prepare yourself in advance, or your subordinates may perish!"

As Gu Lan's words fell, his aura grew even stronger, and his power intensified several times over.

Changsheng quickly waved his hands, signaling, "There's no need for Master Gu to intervene just yet. I'll handle it!"

Before Gu Lan could respond, Changsheng leaped into action, and his energy surged. In his hands, a seven-foot-long sword materialized.

"You must think this through carefully!" Gu Lan warned.

Changsheng, without responding, was already in motion. His figure became a blur as he rushed into the crowd of enemies. The sound of rending air filled the space as blood-red light flashed with each of his sword strokes.

Gu Lan watched, surprised by Changsheng's speed and power. The man wielded his sword with incredible precision, cutting through the air, releasing over a thousand sword lights in an instant. The surrounding space seemed to shatter under the force of his blows.

However, the Golden Armour Guard from the Bright Clan were no ordinary opponents. Covered in treasure and weapons, their defenses were formidable. Despite Changsheng's onslaught, the sword lights were ineffective against them.

"Bang... bang..."

The sound of powerful strikes reverberated through the air, but the Bright Clan's warriors managed to block them.

Gu Lan watched the battle with growing concern. Despite fighting fiercely for several hundred exchanges, none of the Bright Clan's experts had fallen. He was surprised, as the battle seemed to be at a stalemate. The number of enemies was overwhelming, and although the Reincarnate Clan warriors were powerful, they could not hold on for much longer.

Changsheng's expression darkened as he realized that the situation was not in their favor. The Bright Clan's forces outnumbered them, and no matter how strong the Reincarnate Clan's warriors were, they could not resist for much longer.

After some consideration, Changsheng turned his gaze to Gu Lan. "Please, Master Gu, lend us your strength!"

Hearing these words, Gu Lan's face remained calm as he stepped forward. With a flick of his wrist, the Hongmeng Sword shimmered, and thousands of sword lights descended upon the battlefield.

"Reincarnate Clan Leader, don't forget our agreement!" Gu Lan said coldly, his gaze narrowing as it shifted to the Golden Armour Guard. "Leave now, or face certain death."

The Golden Armour Guard did not show any sign of retreat. Instead, they rallied under their commander's orders.

"Just you?" one of them sneered.

"Golden Armour Guard, form the formation!" Another commander shouted.

At their command, hundreds of golden beams shot into the sky, forming a powerful array in the air. A dense, suffocating killing aura spread from the array, causing the very heavens to tremble. The surrounding space was soon enveloped in a golden mist.

Seeing the strength of the enemy, Gu Lan decided to end the stalemate. With a single stroke of his sword, thousands of sword images crashed into the golden formation.

"Boom!"

The clash between their forces caused a massive explosion, tearing through the space and sending shockwaves across the battlefield. Reincarnate Clan's warriors quickly mobilized, their energies converging to defend against the attack.

Despite their overwhelming numbers, Gu Lan's strike had not been enough to break through the enemy's defense. The Golden Armour Guard, strong and heavily equipped, managed to weather the assault.

Gu Lan's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected these few warriors to hold their ground so well. His strongest strike had been blocked.

The deadlock lasted for several breaths before the shockwave of their clash settled. Gu Lan stepped back, retreating a hundred meters as his sword energy dispersed. The Golden Armour Guard was forced to retreat as well, though not without some hesitation.

"Not bad for Arthur's trump card. They're strong, indeed," Gu Lan mused, his expression cold. He could sense the growing pressure. Dragging this out would only lead to trouble.

"Changsheng, these enemies are powerful. Please, join me in the battle!" Gu Lan urged. He was unwilling to take all the risks alone.

Changsheng, though seemingly indifferent, understood the gravity of the situation. He took a step forward, releasing all his energy without holding back.

"Let's kill them together!" Changsheng declared, his voice filled with icy determination. His aura surged, and the Reincarnate Clan's warriors followed suit. They were few in number, but their power was formidable.

Gu Lan did not hesitate. With a glance at Changsheng, his energy flared once more. His sword trembled as the might of his forces gathered.

"The fools who seek death will die here today!" Gu Lan proclaimed, his tone chilling.

While Gu Lan's power was overwhelming, the Golden Armour Guard did not flinch. Instead, their commander called out, and the golden light within the array intensified. More golden warriors emerged, their numbers swelling as they fought back with renewed ferocity.

Gu Lan narrowed his eyes. "I'll deal with the array. You all take care of the rest!"

He swung his sword, and a tearing noise echoed through the air. The sword light cleaved through the formation, destroying hundreds of golden figures in an instant.

With the formation broken, the Reincarnate Clan warriors charged forward, engaging the enemy head-on. The battle had turned into a chaotic and brutal clash, with sword lights flashing and golden beams colliding at every turn.

Gu Lan was unable to withdraw from the battle, as the number of golden figures within the array continued to increase. He fought relentlessly, using his Hongmeng Sword to strike down foes left and right.

Despite his overwhelming power, Gu Lan was beginning to feel the pressure. The enemies' numbers were too great, and the energy required to fend them off was taking its toll. His eyes burned with killing intent as he cleaved through the golden figures, his sword slicing through them one after another.

The battle raged on, with no end in sight.
