My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 794 - 794: Arthur Suppresses Gu Lan

Arthur had been waiting for this moment. In an instant, his energy erupted. However, he remained somewhat cautious and had no intention of engaging Gu Lan in a direct one-on-one fight. His expression hardened, and four or five dozen of his Golden Armour Guards stepped forward.

These Golden Armour Guards were not to be taken lightly. As they moved forward, hundreds of golden lights immediately shot toward Gu Lan's face. These warriors' power was formidable, and Gu Lan didn't dare underestimate them.

Just as the hundreds of golden sword lights were about to close in, Gu Lan's face darkened. He raised his sword and swung it casually. At first glance, his strike seemed unremarkable, but the power behind it was no less than immense.

Boom!

The clash of their energies reverberated through the air, and the surrounding atmosphere shattered. The Golden Armour Guards, who had been advancing, were momentarily knocked back. Despite their protective armor, they could not entirely withstand the force of Gu Lan's strike. Their defenses cracked under the pressure, and some warriors staggered backward, with only minor cuts and injuries marking their bodies.

Gu Lan was momentarily taken aback. Previously, his attacks would have shattered their defenses entirely. He thought, Arthur's preparations must be more formidable than expected.

From a distance, Arthur sneered, looking more arrogant than ever.

"Don't be so surprised, Gu Lan. This is all for you!" he taunted, clearly enjoying Gu Lan's reaction.

Gu Lan's expression darkened further. The situation had indeed changed. He had underestimated the power of Bright Clan. The strength of these Golden Armour Guards had increased significantly, making them more challenging to deal with.

Gu Lan narrowed his eyes, and the cold killing intent in his gaze deepened. He said in a low voice, "If that's the case, then I won't hold back anymore."

"Just because you've upgraded their equipment doesn't mean you can stop me," he continued, his voice icy. "Let's see how long this lasts."

Gu Lan's Hongmeng Sword trembled in his hand, and a layer of blood-red light began to form around it.

Boom!

The surrounding energy was shattered, and a terrifying bloodlust filled the sky. The Golden Armour Guards immediately tightened their formation, their expressions tense as they sensed the threat.

At that moment, Gu Lan moved forward, raising his sword high. "Let me show you the true power of the Hongmeng Sword!" he declared coldly.

Although he had no intention of wasting time dealing with these guards, he had no choice but to cut them down if he wanted to reach Arthur. His primary target was Arthur, and dealing with these guards was just an obstacle in his path.

The Golden Armour Guards, though wary, did not retreat. With icy faces, they powered up and formed a defensive stance. They braced themselves, preparing for a battle that was sure to test them.

Arthur, watching from the distance, frowned and his expression darkened. He had expected more of a fight, but now he felt more curious about Gu Lan's abilities. He realized that Gu Lan's power had increased since their last encounter.

A tearing sound rang out as Gu Lan's sword cleaved through the formation of the Golden Armour Guards, breaking their defense with ease.

Boom!

The formation shattered, but Gu Lan didn't stop. He surged forward with lightning speed, weaving around the remaining guards. With a swift slash, hundreds of golden lights were devoured by the blood-red sword energy.

The Golden Armour Guards, though they tried their best to block, were overwhelmed by the power of Gu Lan's attacks. Some managed to hold their ground, but many were left bloodied and battered. A few guards fell to the ground, their golden armor stained with blood.

"Not bad," Gu Lan muttered under his breath, his eyes flicking up just as Arthur's own attack began to take shape.

From the distance, Arthur raised his sword and directed a powerful wave of golden sword lights at Gu Lan. These were infused with a deadly, cutting aura, and they tore through the air with destructive force. The space around them seemed to collapse under the pressure.

Gu Lan did not retreat. Instead, he summoned all his energy, and with a roar, he released a torrent of blood-red sword energy that clashed with Arthur's assault.

Boom!

The collision of the two forces sent shockwaves throughout the surroundings. Gu Lan was immediately engulfed by the golden sword lights, but his energy was not so easily crushed. Though his body was momentarily swallowed by the attack, his spirit was unyielding.

Arthur's response, however, was swift. He raised his sword again just as the blood-red sword energy came for him. Gu Lan had calculated the distance carefully, but Arthur's speed was faster than expected. With a swift motion, he deflected Gu Lan's attack with a shield of golden light. The force was enough to push Gu Lan back, but it didn't stop him completely.

Gu Lan staggered back a few steps, but his eyes never left Arthur. Though his body was shaken, the intensity of his resolve only sharpened. He looked at Arthur with cold fury, his grip tightening on his Hongmeng Sword.

"Is that all you've got?" Gu Lan sneered.

Arthur's face turned darker with rage. The mockery in Gu Lan's voice seemed to push him over the edge. His killing intent flared as he barked an order to his Golden Armour Guards.

"Don't let up! Show him our true power!"

Without waiting, a wave of golden energy surged around Arthur. His guards channeled all their remaining strength into one final blow. The entire battlefield became suffused with the golden glow of their concentrated energy.

Gu Lan furrowed his brow as he felt the surge of power. His instincts told him something was amiss. Arthur must have activated some hidden ability to amplify his power.

Arthur's voice was full of malice. "Gu Lan, let me show you what Bright Clan is capable of."

The energy surrounding Arthur grew exponentially, far surpassing any of Gu Lan's expectations. The intensity of his aura now matched Gu Lan's own, and it only continued to rise.

Gu Lan's gaze hardened. If he was going to survive this, he would need to take the fight to the next level.

No matter what, I can't let Arthur get the upper hand.

With a flick of his wrist, Gu Lan summoned all of his remaining strength. The Hongmeng Sword glowed brighter than ever before, its blood-red aura flickering as if alive with untold power. Gu Lan's energy surged as he prepared to face the full brunt of Arthur's assault.

The final confrontation between the two was now inevitable. Neither would retreat. Neither would yield.

Boom!

Both of them launched forward at the same time, their swords cutting through the air like the claws of beasts. Gu Lan's blood-red sword energy clashed with Arthur's golden light, filling the entire battlefield with a cacophony of destruction.

The earth trembled beneath their feet, and the heavens themselves seemed to crack under the force of their battle. This was no longer just a fight for power. It was a fight for survival.

As the two warriors collided, the future of the battlefield would be decided. Would Gu Lan be able to suppress Arthur's growing power, or would the golden warrior from Bright Clan finally prove victorious?

The answer would come with the next strike.
