My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 789 - 789: Unheard Words of Gu Lan

At this moment, the Blood Master and Xue Lengyan were both in mid-air, releasing their blood energy without any reservations. However, Xue Lengyan was trailing closely behind the Blood Master, moving at almost the same speed.

Meanwhile, inside Lanyan Royal School, Gu Lan had already made his preparations. He was fully aware that the members of the Blood Clan would not give up easily. Until they obtained the result they wanted, this matter would never settle.

A shadow of blood appeared inside the palace, and the figure bowed respectfully.

"Master Gu, the Blood Clan Young Lord has something to ask of you," the figure said.

Without even raising his head, Gu Lan coldly responded, "What is it? What does the Young Lord of the Blood Clan want?"

The messenger respectfully replied, "Our clan leader, the Blood Master, along with the Young Lord, is on their way here. Master Gu, please be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lan's expression changed slightly. He had expected that a strong warrior from the Blood Clan might be sent, but he didn't anticipate that the Blood Master would come personally.

"Thank you for the warning. I will be cautious," Gu Lan replied. The Blood Clan warrior, realizing his message had been delivered, quickly disappeared. He knew that if the Blood Master learned of his presence here, he would be doomed. Moreover, he had been sent by Xue Lengyan, and if caught, it could implicate her.

Once the messenger left, Gu Lan took to the air. He didn't want the Blood Master to reach the Lanyan Royal School, as powerful as the school was, it might not be able to withstand the Blood Master's strength.

After flying several thousand feet away from the school, Gu Lan stopped. Just then, Gu Simu and Ding True Man appeared not far away. Seeing Gu Lan, their pace quickened, and within a few steps, they were standing before him. Ding True Man saluted, while Gu Simu looked at him with confusion.

"Father, why are you here?" Gu Simu asked, puzzled.

This location was several thousand feet away from Lanyan Royal School, so Gu Simu was genuinely curious.

With a faint smile, Gu Lan answered, "I'm here to take care of some matters. You two should go ahead."

The Blood Master's strength wouldn't be insignificant, and having them remain here would only put them in danger. But before Gu Lan could finish, Gu Simu shook her head.

"I'll be fine. I'll stay here with you," she said firmly.

Gu Lan froze for a moment. He could not stop her, but leaving her here was dangerous.

"Father, don't worry. I'll be able to protect myself!" Gu Simu said with a determined expression, and Gu Lan couldn't refuse her.

He exchanged a glance with Ding True Man, who nodded silently. Immediately, Ding True Man unleashed his energy. Gu Simu's own true energy surged, and the Hammer of Evergreen Pine appeared in her hand.

...

A few moments later, a shadow of blood flashed from the distance, and it was none other than the Blood Master. Walking beside him was Xue Lengyan.

Upon seeing the Blood Master, Gu Lan's expression darkened. The aura he was emanating was indeed powerful.

Without further hesitation, Gu Lan took a step forward.

"The strong from the Blood Clan just left, and now the Blood Master arrives in person. I'm quite surprised. I wonder what business the Blood Master has here?" Gu Lan's voice was cold.

Upon hearing this, the Blood Master sneered, and his blood energy surged in an instant. The sky dimmed as killing intent enveloped the area.

"So, you are Gu Lan. I've heard of your strength. Let me test it for myself!" the Blood Master said, his voice dripping with disdain.

In his eyes, Gu Lan was just a member of the Human Clan. How could he possibly be his match? The expression on the Blood Master's face was full of arrogance, which made Gu Lan feel quite uncomfortable.

Gu Lan, however, remained indifferent. He replied coldly, "Forget it. If you lose to me, you and the Blood Clan would be a joke."

Gu Lan was actually trying to talk him out of the fight, as he didn't take this person seriously at all.

However, the Blood Master was not dissuaded. His eyes filled with murderous intent.

"You talk big, little one. Today, I will show you what true strength is!" The Blood Master uttered coldly. In an instant, he condensed a huge blood-colored blade in his hands.

With a slash, the blood blade swept down, and the sky seemed to shatter in the face of its power.

Seeing the blade descending, Gu Lan furrowed his brows. He could sense that the Blood Master was not weak. As the blade approached, Gu Lan raised his Hongmeng Sword and countered with a swipe.

"Boom!" A loud explosion rang out as the blade and sword clashed. Sword energy and blade light erupted in all directions.

Gu Lan took a step back, but the Blood Master was pushed back by several dozen feet.

The Blood Master's gaze was cold as he glared at Gu Lan. His face darkened, and his eyes filled with even more bloodlust.

"Not bad. You managed to block my attack!" the Blood Master remarked, his voice laced with grudging admiration.

Gu Lan sneered in return. He hadn't even used his full strength in that strike, but he could feel that the Blood Master had already used about seventy percent of his power.

"You should stop here. If you keep going, you might end up dead," Gu Lan warned, his voice steady as he looked at Xue Lengyan, who was standing in the distance.

Xue Lengyan had remained silent, but her eyes contained a cold gleam. The reason she was accompanying the Blood Master was simple: she wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate him and rise to power. Only by doing so could she secure her position.

Gu Lan had made his intentions clear, but the Blood Master didn't understand. To him, Gu Lan's words seemed like empty threats.

Fury ignited in his eyes as blood energy began to surge around him once more.

"You fool! If you can withstand my next attack, I'll let you do as you wish!" the Blood Master spat, raising his blade again.

Seeing the rising blood energy, Gu Lan sighed helplessly. He released all of his true energy without holding back. If this person wanted to fight to the death, he would not hold back either.

As the blood blade descended, Gu Lan moved in an instant, raising his Hongmeng Sword and striking upwards.

"Boom!" The world seemed to shatter as the Blood Master was swallowed by a massive wave of sword energy. The sky was filled with the sounds of tearing and crushing as the Blood Master was overwhelmed by the force.

For a moment, the Blood Master struggled, trying to fight back. But soon, his resistance faltered. His body was covered in cracks, and blood poured from his wounds.

After several breaths, the sword light faded, and Gu Lan stood still, his face unchanged. Meanwhile, the Blood Master was bleeding heavily, his aura significantly diminished. His strength was nowhere near enough to face the full force of Gu Lan's attack.

The Blood Master's face darkened as he looked at Gu Lan, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"I didn't think you would be this strong..." he muttered, his voice hoarse.

Gu Lan stood calmly, his expression cold.

"Is that all? Do you still want to keep fighting?" he asked indifferently.

Gu Lan had no intention of continuing the battle. There was no point in dragging it out, and doing so would only lead to the Blood Master's death.

"You're a fool if you think this is my limit!" The Blood Master growled, his blood pulsing with energy.

Suddenly, his body was enveloped in a flood of blood. Gu Lan raised an eyebrow.

"This guy really has some tricks up his sleeve!" he thought to himself.

Just as the Blood Master was preparing to unleash his full power, Xue Lengyan's voice rang out.

"Master Gu, be careful. This is a special technique of the Blood Clan!"

Gu Lan nodded slightly without lifting his gaze. He was already prepared for what was coming.

It seemed that this battle would not end so easily.
