My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 811 - 811: Three Strikes to Kill You

Gu Lan's words were not fully spoken, but the killing intent in his eyes had already told them the answer.

The sharp sound of a sword ringing echoed, and a layer of blood-red light enveloped the Hongmeng Sword.

He had lost his patience and no longer wanted to waste any more words with them.

The blood-red light flickered, and the surrounding area was swept by the blood energy.

However, the powerful members of the Xuanyuan Clan were unconcerned, sneering with disdain in their eyes.

Although the blood light was terrifying, the burly man still held his battle axe and stepped forward, taking two strides.

With a stomp of his foot, the sky trembled, and the blood light near him was shattered in an instant.

He did not rush into action but instead bowed respectfully toward Gu Lan.

"Fifth Elder of the Xuanyuan Clan, Xue Kuang!"

Gu Lan did not say much in response to his words, simply raising his sword and slashing.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Gu Lan's speed was incredibly fast, and his sword struck the man's body.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound rang out, and Gu Lan's arm went numb from the impact.

He retreated several steps, his expression growing serious.

The Hongmeng Sword was so sharp, yet it didn't hurt this man!

Xue Kuang calmly stood up, his cold gaze locking onto Gu Lan.

"Is that all you've got? Are you just scratching me?"

As he spoke, he swung his battle axe toward Gu Lan.

The man's strength was ferocious, and with one strike, the space in front of them shattered.

Seeing the incoming blow, Gu Lan's face darkened as he swung his sword to meet it.

"Boom!"

Powerful true energy scattered in all directions, and for a moment, neither side could gain the upper hand.

"Break!"

With a furious shout from the Fifth Elder, the sword light exploded, and Gu Lan was sent staggering backward by the shockwave.

The Hongmeng Sword in Gu Lan's hands trembled incessantly, and his face darkened.

This man's strength was no ordinary power; it was several times stronger than he had anticipated.

Noticing the change in Gu Lan's expression, Xue Kuang sneered, releasing more of his own aura.

"Gu Lan, you're no match for me. Attacking is futile."

"I'll give you a chance. Come back with me to the Xuanyuan Clan and accept judgment, and I'll spare your Lanyan Royal School!"

Hearing his arrogant words, Gu Lan's face darkened, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"My Lanyan Royal School doesn't need your sympathy!"

With that, Gu Lan once again raised his sword and charged forward, his true energy now completely transformed.

The blood-red light flickered on the Hongmeng Sword, its power multiplied several times.

The sharp ringing of the sword echoed, and a thousand rays of sword light gathered in the sky.

"Fall!"

The cold voice rang out, and blood-red sword light descended from the heavens.

Though he was caught in the storm of sword shadows, Xue Kuang remained unconcerned.

His face remained calm, his expression one of contempt.

He gripped his battle axe, channeling his true energy, and leapt upwards.

"Break!"

With a roar, the surrounding blood-red sword shadows were shattered one by one.

Gu Lan had already predicted that Xue Kuang could block the sword light.

Gu Lan's steps quickened as he advanced, raising his sword again.

This time, he used all his strength, swinging the sword with several times the speed of his previous strikes.

"Swish!"

Blood splattered as a deep cut was left on Xue Kuang's body.

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Lan immediately retreated by several dozen feet.

Xue Kuang grunted in pain. Though injured, it did not affect him much.

His face twisted in a snarl, clearly not expecting to be ambushed by Gu Lan. His eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Not bad, you actually managed to injure me!"

He remained as arrogant as ever, but Gu Lan's face was expressionless, already planning his next move.

Initially thinking that this man was impervious to blades and spears, the previous successful strike made it seem otherwise.

While it was unlikely to kill him in a short time, Gu Lan was confident he could still overwhelm him.

"In three strikes, I will make you pay with your life!"

Gu Lan coldly declared, his blood energy flowing into the Hongmeng Sword without restraint.

Hearing his words, the people in the distance sneered dismissively.

"Just you?"

From his perspective, the previous two strikes had already been Gu Lan's strongest.

He had already prepared for the next attack, and there was no way Gu Lan could injure him within three moves!

"First sword!"

Gu Lan's face darkened as he lunged forward.

Blood-red sword light flickered, descending from the sky.

The surrounding space shattered as the sword struck toward Xue Kuang's face.

"Arrogant!"

Xue Kuang sneered, raising his hand to block, but he vastly underestimated Gu Lan.

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, his arm was jarred and he staggered back a hundred feet.

As he came to a stop, blood trickled down his arm.

"Second sword!"

With a cold look in his eyes, Gu Lan swung once more.

This time, Xue Kuang was not careless, quickly channeling his energy and holding his battle axe overhead to block.

"Boom!"

The sound of an explosion echoed as his battle axe was shattered.

"Swish..."

Blood sprayed from Xue Kuang's chest, leaving a deep gash.

At this moment, he dared not hesitate. His true energy enveloped his body as he stopped moving.

"How could this be?!"

He was greatly shocked. Just moments ago, Gu Lan couldn't hurt him, yet in the span of a few breaths, his power had surged so much.

When his gaze shifted to Gu Lan, he couldn't help but show some caution.

This strength was far beyond what he had expected. Gu Lan truly had the ability to kill him in three strikes.

"Third sword!"

Gu Lan's energy surged to its peak, and he knew that killing Xue Kuang would require him to act quickly.

There was no more time to wait—any delay could lead to complications and make it difficult to strike again.

A cold voice rang out, and the Hongmeng Sword blazed with blood-red light.

Seeing this attack, Xue Kuang's brow furrowed as his expression grew incredibly serious.

But before he could react, the Hongmeng Sword was already aimed at his brow.

The sudden turn of events caused him to widen his eyes in disbelief.

His expression darkened as he panicked, but it was already too late.

At the critical moment, a sword light suddenly descended from the sky.

The shrill sound of it ripping through the air blocked Gu Lan's strike in an instant!

Stunned by this unexpected force, Gu Lan was momentarily taken aback.

He furrowed his brow, a murderous intent flowing from his eyes.

Looking up, he saw a figure standing in the sky, holding a sharp sword and wearing white robes.

The man's aura was strong, and his presence seemed similar to Gu Lan's.

As soon as the man noticed Gu Lan's gaze, he sneered.

With a step forward, he arrived in front of Xue Kuang.

"I am the Sixth Elder of the Xuanyuan Clan, Qingfeng!"

"Master Gu's skills are impressive, you've truly caught my attention!"

Although his tone was calm, Gu Lan could feel the intense killing intent in his eyes.

"You Xuanyuan Clan truly have bold ambitions!"

Gu Lan's face remained expressionless as his internal power increased rather than decreased.

"Qingfeng Elder, hurry and kill him! This man is already a spent force!"

Upon hearing Xue Kuang's urging, Qingfeng turned coldly and spoke to him.

"Shut up!"

"Are you not ashamed? As the Fifth Elder of the Xuanyuan Clan, how could you be defeated by him?"

Qingfeng's words silenced Xue Kuang, who obediently closed his mouth.

"Master Gu, that was your limit just now, wasn't it?"
