My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 807 - 807: Gu Lan's Counterattack

Upon hearing Gu Lan's words, the second elder became even more audacious, his eyes filled with endless mockery.

"You still don't understand the situation, do you? Now it's my turn to give the orders. Kneel!"

"What if I don't?"

Gu Lan's expression darkened, his murderous aura instantly surfacing.

"Then don't blame me for being rude!"

The second elder wasn't one to hold back. He raised his sword and stabbed it through the forehead of the clone.

The sword light scattered, and the clone vanished at that moment.

But the second elder didn't pay attention to this. He raised his sword again, aiming for Mu Yuyan's clone.

"You still have one more chance. Kneel!"

Seeing this, Gu Lan coldly shook his head.

"Why don't you turn around first?"

Gu Lan's voice was ice-cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes was unmistakable.

Hearing these words, the second elder subconsciously turned his head to glance.

This one glance stunned him in place.

"How could this be?!"

He hadn't expected that he had only killed one of the clones.

Before he could act, Mu Yuyan's clone had already dissipated, leaving only a trace of true energy behind.

"You..."

Before he could finish, Gu Lan stepped forward with his sword in hand.

A single swing of his sword unleashed a powerful sword energy from the void.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar, the heavens trembled, and tens of thousands of sword lights rained down.

The power of the ten Shadow Guardians was indeed formidable, but in the blink of an eye, they were gone.

However, the second elder wasn't as fortunate. He was directly swallowed by the sword shadows.

He didn't even have the strength to resist and could only desperately dodge.

Even so, he was heavily wounded.

When the sword light faded, his body was covered in blood.

His face was pale, and his energy was nearly depleted.

He looked at Gu Lan, his eyes filled not just with fury, but also with caution.

He never expected to be so severely wounded by Gu Lan with a single strike.

Seeing the expression on his face, Gu Lan sneered coldly, the Hongmeng Sword shimmering with a layer of bloodlust.

"Weren't you so arrogant just now? What's the matter? Are you afraid now?"

In response to Gu Lan's mocking words, the second elder's eyes burned with fury.

"Dammit! I, from the Xuanyuan Clan, was actually outwitted by you, a mere human clan!"

Listening to his roar, Gu Lan smiled indifferently.

"As one of the Upper Three Clans, using such despicable methods, and you still have the gall to speak?"

Gu Lan's face darkened as he raised his sword again.

Before the second elder could react, Gu Lan immediately slashed towards his face.

He had already declared that this second elder was going to die, no doubt about it.

The sword light dispersed, and blood splattered. The second elder's rigid body fell from the void.

He died in vain, unable to even move a single step before succumbing to Gu Lan's sword.

Gu Lan remained indifferent, not even treating him as worthy of notice.

With a flick of the Hongmeng Sword, Gu Lan's gaze turned to the ten Shadow Guardians.

"You guys are quick, let's fight!"

In response to his cold words, the ten Shadow Guardians couldn't swallow their anger.

Each of them wore an icy expression as they jumped into action.

"As you wish!"

These individuals were incredibly fast, and their attacks were mysterious and unpredictable.

Seeing them make their move, Gu Lan adjusted his energy at that moment.

"Whoosh..."

A tearing sound rang out, and the Hongmeng Sword struck.

However, what surprised him was that his strike went empty.

The ten figures simultaneously vanished and appeared behind him, stabbing at him from the rear.

These figures were extremely fast, even Gu Lan was taken aback for a moment.

He quickly retreated two steps and conjured hundreds of sword shadows.

With over a hundred sword lights, Gu Lan managed to block their attacks.

However, his expression changed, and a darker hue appeared in his eyes.

"Impressive power, let's see how you handle this!"

Gu Lan's face darkened as he pointed his sword to the sky.

"Boom!"

A powerful burst of true energy erupted, and ten thousand sword lights manifested.

The heavens dimmed, and the surrounding space shattered.

The ten Shadow Guardians didn't even have time to react before they were sucked into the black hole.

Looking at the sword shadows in the sky, they couldn't help but frown.

"Fall!"

With Gu Lan's cold command, the ten thousand sword lights descended simultaneously.

"Slash... Slash..."

The tearing sounds continued as they were engulfed by the sword shadows.

Gu Lan did not stop here, as the sounds of sword clashes echoed, and he stepped forward with his sword.

The ten Shadow Guardians, while desperately trying to defend against the falling sword lights, failed to notice Gu Lan's movements.

This was the opportunity Gu Lan had been waiting for!

"Slash!"

Blood rained down as one of them had their arm instantly severed.

Then, dozens more sword strikes followed.

Under Gu Lan's relentless attacks, two of them lost all their ability to defend.

They retreated dozens of paces, exhausted from the battle.

The others fared a bit better, but they too were covered in wounds.

When the sword lights finally faded, the remaining Shadow Guardians quickly retreated over a hundred paces.

Once they ensured a safe distance from Gu Lan, they stopped.

"Leave this place!"

One of them ordered, and the others had no choice but to follow.

However, only eight managed to escape. The remaining two had no such luck.

They had already used up all their strength trying to dodge Gu Lan's attacks.

Now, when they tried to escape, Gu Lan wasn't going to let them go.

Just after they retreated a step, two sword lights pierced their foreheads.

With a flick of the Hongmeng Sword, Gu Lan wiped off the blood and reined in his aura.

"Useless fools, with such little strength, how dare you act so arrogantly here!"

Though he spoke like this, Gu Lan did indeed respect the strength of these ten individuals.

Their power was not weak and exceeded what he had anticipated.

He had used all his strength just now and still hadn't been able to kill them all.

It was clear that the Xuanyuan Clan's strength went beyond what he had already seen.

Just as Gu Lan was about to turn around and leave, hundreds of blood shadows suddenly appeared from the distance.

Xue Lengyan arrived in front of him with a single step, her expression grave.

It seemed like she had just come from a fierce battle.

However, she didn't inquire, as some matters were beyond her control.

"Master Gu, I've come to lend you a hand!"

In response to Xue Lengyan's words, Gu Lan smiled indifferently.

"Blood Clan Master, you've come a little late!"

"I hope Master Gu won't mind!"

Xue Lengyan was quick to play along, bowing respectfully to Gu Lan.

Watching her bow, Gu Lan smiled faintly and waved his hand.

"Blood Clan Master need not be so formal. Actually, there's something I need your help with!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Lengyan's curiosity peaked, but her expression remained respectful.

"Master Gu, feel free to speak. There's no need for such politeness!"

"Blood Clan is one of the Immortal Realm's tribes, so you must have many cultivation secrets. Are there any methods that can rapidly improve someone's strength?"

Xue Lengyan hesitated for a moment before responding solemnly.

"Our clan does indeed have such secret techniques, but..."

Seeing her hesitation, Gu Lan's curiosity grew.

"Blood Clan Master, if you have something to say, don't hold back."

"The techniques exist, but no one in my clan dares to try them, and I'm not sure what side effects they might have!"
