My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 804 - 804: The Death of Young Lord Xuanyuan

Seeing Ding True Man's troubled expression, Gu Lan waved his hand indifferently.

"Since you're here, let's handle them together."

Gu Simu's temperament was something he knew all too well. There was no way a single Ding True Man could stop her. Since they were already here, they might as well take care of the trouble together.

When Ding True Man saw that Gu Lan didn't blame him, he relaxed. Quickly, he composed himself and readied for battle.

His cold gaze locked on to the hundred Dao soldiers in front of them.

"Master, these guys aren't weak!"

"Being from the Xuanyuan Clan, they naturally have some tricks up their sleeves."

"While you and the girl deal with these hundred men, leave the rest to me, but be mindful of the hidden experts."

The ones who had fought with him just now had vanished in an instant. He was certain their strength was no less than his own.

Gu Simu and Ding True Man nodded, without further discussion, they surged with energy, preparing to strike.

Although there were a hundred of them, the two of them were not weak either. The hundred Dao soldiers had already exhausted some of their strength fighting Gu Lan, and now was the perfect time to strike.

With a grim face, the two of them leaped into the air, their energy unleashing without reserve.

Gu Simu, taking the lead, summoned her Hammer of Evergreen Pine, and a great wave of energy spread through the sky.

"Take it!"

With a roar, the Hammer of Evergreen Pine descended, followed by an earth-shattering crash.

At the same time, Ding True Man unleashed his own energy.

"Golden Dao, Destroying World Divine Wheel!"

Together, their power shattered the space around them, and cracks appeared in the heavens and earth.

Gu Lan drew his sword, his cold eyes locking onto the two elders.

"Gentlemen, it's time to make your move."

Watching the battle unfold before him, Gu Lan's eyes narrowed. The two elders' expressions turned colder, and their killing intent grew.

"How dare you disregard the Xuanyuan Clan? You will pay the price today!"

Their energy exploded outward, transforming into fleeting shadows as they charged toward him.

Faced with such a fierce assault, Gu Lan remained unmoved.

As they approached, he raised his hand and swung his sword.

The blade descended with a sharp tearing sound, and the energy they had summoned shattered in an instant.

However, despite the powerful strike, the two elders were not killed.

Their combined aura was certainly formidable, and though they were knocked back several steps, neither of them had sustained any injuries.

Young Lord Xuanyuan, observing from a distance, sneered.

His smile was arrogant and full of contempt. Seeing this, Gu Lan's expression hardened.

"Young Lord Xuanyuan, don't be so arrogant, or you will die!"

Previously, Gu Lan had let him go, but now, seeing him so eager to seek death, Gu Lan had no intention of holding back any longer.

"You think you have the strength to kill me?"

Young Lord Xuanyuan scoffed dismissively. His words were filled with arrogance.

The reason he lost to Gu Lan last time was simple: he had acted recklessly. This time, however, he had come prepared.

Besides him, he had two elders and ten Shadow Guardians with him. Though the Shadow Guardians had not yet moved, if they did, Gu Lan would surely die.

"How dare you insult my Xuanyuan Clan's young lord? You are asking for death!"

The two elders acted immediately, golden light shining from their hands as they rushed forward.

"Get out of my way!"

This time, Gu Lan showed no restraint. As the two elders drew near, he raised his hand and struck.

In an instant, he appeared behind the Grand Elder.

As the elder turned his head, Gu Lan thrust his sword forward.

Blood splattered, and the elder's face contorted in agony. His breath faltered as his energy dissipated.

The elder staggered, his body shaking as the aura of death pressed upon him.

In that moment, he felt the cold grip of mortality.

Luckily, he had a magical artifact; otherwise, that strike would have been fatal.

The second elder, seeing his companion's dire state, erupted in fury. He did not wait for Gu Lan to make another move and charged forward.

But Gu Lan would not give him the chance. With a cold glare, he turned and struck again.

This time, Gu Lan's sword was faster than the elder could react.

A loud "crack" echoed as the elder froze in place, his arm severed from his body.

Blood gushed out, and the stench of it filled the air.

Not daring to linger, the second elder leaped back, retreating a hundred feet.

They had initially thought they could fight Gu Lan to a standstill, but they were now completely overwhelmed. This was beyond their expectations.

Young Lord Xuanyuan was startled by the turn of events. As he prepared to strike, the two elders immediately stopped him.

"Young Lord, do not act rashly!"

It wasn't that they doubted the young lord's strength, but Gu Lan was too powerful. If he attacked, no one could predict whether he would live or die.

But Young Lord Xuanyuan was proud and arrogant. He wouldn't listen to them.

Without even sparing them a glance, he raised his spear and charged.

In the end, he was no match for Gu Lan. Having been defeated by Gu Lan before, this time was no different.

The two elders knew they couldn't wait any longer. They leaped toward Gu Lan, but the Grand Elder paid the ultimate price.

The fatal strike from Gu Lan was intercepted by the Grand Elder, saving the young lord.

As for the young lord, he had already been moved a hundred feet away.

Gu Lan withdrew the Hongmeng Sword, wiping the blood from its blade.

"So this is the strength of Young Lord Xuanyuan? You need your subordinates to take the death blow for you?"

At Gu Lan's mocking words, Young Lord Xuanyuan seethed with rage. His eyes blazed with fury.

But just as he was about to act, the second elder stopped him.

"Do not!"

The second elder whispered something in his ear, and suddenly, the young lord's retreat was swift.

Once they were a safe distance away, the remaining Dao soldiers also retreated.

In no time, the oppressive energy in the air dissipated.

Seeing them attempt to escape, Gu Simu was not about to let them go.

She gathered her energy and charged upward.

But before she could take another step, Gu Lan blocked her path.

"You little girl, always so impatient. There's no need for that."

With Gu Lan's words, Gu Simu halted, though her face was clouded with frustration.

Her eyes burned with murderous intent. She regretted not killing them all when she had the chance.

Gu Lan also wished to finish them off, but there was no way to stop their escape now.

The two of them arrived at a place several tens of thousands of feet away, where Young Lord Xuanyuan stopped.

His face was grim, his eyes filled with unrelenting killing intent.

He couldn't understand why, with so many powerful fighters, they couldn't defeat Gu Lan.

Seeing his brooding expression, the second elder knelt before him.

"Young Lord, we must plan this carefully. Do not act impulsively!"

"A group of useless fools! I thought you two were strong, yet you couldn't even handle him."

Young Lord Xuanyuan looked at the second elder with disdain, and the elder lowered his head, too afraid to speak.

"What now? Are we just going to run back?"

"How will we show our faces? What about your dignity?"
