My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 779 - 779: Driving Back the Golden Armour Guard

After slicing through hundreds of sword strikes, Gu Lan leaped back, retreating a hundred paces. He had initially thought the problem was solved, but to his surprise, the golden shadows kept appearing.

Although he did not understand how the formation evolved, he was aware that the power of this formation was finite. However, how could it continue to conjure golden shadows infinitely?

While pondering this, Gu Lan suddenly noticed that the shattered sword light was being absorbed by the formation. Under his watch, the golden shadows that had already dissipated began to condense again. Not only had their numbers increased, but their strength was now several times stronger than before!

"No wonder, so it's drawing on my power!"

Although he didn't know exactly what kind of technique the formation was using, he now understood clearly—it was drawing on his own strength! He paid little attention to the powers in front of him but focused his gaze on the Golden Armour Guard.

"Reincarnate Clan Leader, you deal with the formation, I'll handle them!" Gu Lan suddenly spoke. Changsheng was stunned and looked at him, unsure of what Gu Lan meant. But he didn't ask more questions.

Taking a step back, he leaped towards Gu Lan, ready to cooperate.

"It's enough to hold them off, no need to expend too much strength!" Gu Lan continued. The formation could absorb his power, and naturally, the Reincarnate Clan Leader's power could also be absorbed. The more force they used, the greater the trouble they would face.

Changsheng was still quite confused but followed Gu Lan's instructions. With a cold look in his eyes, he addressed the oncoming golden shadows without hesitation.

"Do you think Reincarnate Clan is so easy to bully? Let me show you what real power looks like!"

With a chilling voice, his true energy exploded forth. The air around him stirred as tens of thousands of sword lights appeared. In an instant, cracks appeared all over his body. Blood energy surged as it enveloped him completely.

Seeing Changsheng exerting himself like this, Gu Lan was quite shocked. He had thought that Changsheng would hold back, but instead, he went all in.

"Thank you, Reincarnate Clan Leader!" Gu Lan said, his voice calm as his own energy poured out without reservation. He swung his sword down and leapt directly into the Golden Armour Guard's formation.

These Golden Armour Guards were originally adept at fighting the Reincarnate Clan, but Gu Lan's sudden involvement caused them to panic for a moment.

With a single swing of his sword, the heavens trembled. The Golden Armour Guards were sent retreating a thousand paces. Gu Lan didn't immediately launch a full attack. Instead, he fixed his gaze on a few dozen of them and stepped forward.

It would be unrealistic to think he could kill them all in one go, but with his strength, killing dozens of them in one strike was still within his ability.

The guards, who had just raised their heads, had no time to react as Gu Lan appeared before them in the blink of an eye, swinging his sword in a flash.

The sound of tearing echoed as the sword light fell, and blood splattered down. Gu Lan did not restrain his energy. The power dissipated, and four guards died while dozens more were severely injured.

Although he had killed a few of them, Gu Lan was still dissatisfied with the result. He had intended to kill all of them with a single strike, but he only managed to kill four. The injured guards, their faces darkened, did not engage further with Gu Lan. Instead, they retreated a dozen paces, now heavily wounded. Continuing to fight would serve no purpose but would only lead to their deaths.

The Golden Armour Guard, with a hundred members, had witnessed Gu Lan's power and realized they could no longer afford to ignore the Reincarnate Clan. Casting cold glances at Gu Lan, their eyes filled with killing intent, they quickly changed their tactics.

"Let's focus on killing him first!"

The voice rang out, and their auras intensified. Eyes locking on Gu Lan, golden light flickered as they all raised their swords in unison.

Seeing their synchronized movements, Gu Lan furrowed his brow. Not only were they acting in unison, but their combined strength was also coalescing.

It was then that Gu Lan understood. No wonder they had fought for thousands of years on behalf of Bright Clan. In addition to their individual strength, their teamwork was incredibly seamless.

As the sword light was about to strike, Gu Lan's face turned cold. The Hongmeng Sword in his hand slashed down with terrifying force.

"Come, let me see just how strong you really are!"

"Boom!"

The two sword lights collided in mid-air. A terrifying aura burst forth, preventing the Reincarnate Clan from interfering. They could only watch from a distance, having no chance to act.

After a while, the energy in the air exploded. Gu Lan retreated several dozen steps, his arm bearing several cracks. The Golden Armour Guards' expressions darkened as their bodies were pierced by the sword light. Although only light injuries, their energy had been significantly depleted.

"This man's power is too strong. We should stop wasting time with him!"

The Golden Armour Guards had no desire to continue fighting. Their energy surged as they quickly retreated.

Gu Lan was surprised by their sudden retreat. He had thought they were like other warriors with innate pride, unwilling to escape unless they were defeated in battle.

However, these Golden Armour Guards were fleeing with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.

Unable to sense their aura, Gu Lan finally relaxed his own energy.

If only one or two of them had fled, Gu Lan could have possibly intercepted them. But with nearly a hundred of them, there was no way he could stop them. Not only would he be unable to stop their escape, but he would also risk putting himself in danger by chasing after them.

With the Golden Armour Guards gone, the formation no longer had their energy to sustain it, and it began to lose its power. Not long after, the Reincarnate Clan warriors shattered the formation's strength.

Changsheng approached Gu Lan and retracted his energy, bowing respectfully.

"Thank you for your assistance, Master Gu!"

Gu Lan, with a calm expression, waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't mention it."

Although he spoke the words, his gaze remained fixed on Changsheng. When their eyes met, Changsheng understood what Gu Lan meant. He pulled out the second volume of the Reincarnate Skill and handed it over to Gu Lan.

"I keep my word. Please, Master Gu."

Gu Lan did not hesitate and accepted the item. After confirming that it could be joined with the first volume, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Reincarnate Clan Leader, you are true to your word. Thank you!"

"I have one request, Master Gu, but I'm not sure if I should ask."

Even without him speaking further, Gu Lan already understood Changsheng's intent.

"All of your strong warriors can come with me to the Lanyan Royal School, but you must face Bright Clan alongside me and fight without condition!"

"Agreed!"

Changsheng answered immediately, his eyes filled with killing intent. The Golden Armour Guards had already attacked them, and now it was a matter of life and death between them and Bright Clan!

This was exactly the response Gu Lan had been hoping for. He smiled faintly, nodded, and then took to the air.

Earlier, he had had doubts, but now, having seen them hold their own against nearly a hundred Golden Armour Guards, he was confident. Their strength was formidable!

Changsheng did not rush to follow. Instead, he turned to a few of his subordinates and ordered, "When you head to the Lanyan Royal School, keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble. If any of you stir up problems, I won't be able to protect you!"
