My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 815 - 815: Counter Back

As Gu Lan moved forward, the blood shadow ahead guided him.

"Come, merge with me, and you will gain a hundredfold of your current strength!"

Before long, Gu Lan found himself surrounded by blood energy.

At this moment, Gu Lan was unable to control himself, allowing the power to enter his body willingly.

As the blood energy surged in, his figure turned red once more.

The blood shadow stood nearby, a sinister smile spreading across its face.

"Come on, your body is mine now!"

With the blood energy enveloping him, Gu Lan's figure slowly faded, and the strength of the blood shadow grew rapidly.

The blood shadow's smile widened as the power within Gu Lan surged.

"Don't worry. I've taken your body; I'll help you get rid of those problems outside."

"After that, the Xuanyuan Clan will bow down before you!"

Under the influence of the blood energy, Gu Lan's consciousness began to blur.

His voice was harsh, but Gu Lan couldn't respond.

"Buzz..."

A deafening sound rang in his ears as Gu Lan felt himself sinking deeper into the sea of blood.

"Father... Father..."

Suddenly, Gu Simu's voice echoed in his ears.

Gu Lan's pupils narrowed, but before him was only a sea of blood.

"My daughter... where are you?"

Gu Lan's voice became urgent, but there was no sign of her in the blood energy.

Another wave of voices reached his ears, this time from Mu Yuyan.

"What are you doing..."

"My Lord."

"Master!"

"Teacher!"

...

Images from his past flashed before his eyes, all the events he had experienced.

"No, I can't fall here. They're still waiting for me!"

Gu Lan's consciousness snapped back to clarity, and the blood energy surrounding him shattered with a forceful shock.

The blood shadow's smug expression turned to surprise as it furrowed its brow.

"What's going on?"

As it spoke, it summoned more blood energy to attack.

But before it could suppress Gu Lan, a golden light erupted from the blood energy.

"Boom!"

The explosion shattered the blood energy, and Gu Lan, with a cold expression, walked out from within it.

"You think you can replace me? You're not worthy!"

With a single step, Gu Lan struck the blood shadow with a powerful punch.

The strike, infused with all his strength, sent shockwaves across the area, dispersing the surrounding blood energy.

When the force settled, the blood shadow was sent flying several hundred meters away.

"Impossible! You were clearly swallowed by the sea of blood!" the blood shadow shouted in rage, its eyes filled with murderous intent.

"So what if I escaped? I can still deal with you. Today, I make the rules!"

With a wave of its hand, the blood shadow gathered the blood energy around them.

Seeing the power it was gathering, Gu Lan's expression remained cold, and his energy surged again.

"You were just a fleeting thought of mine. Today, I'll rid myself of this obsession!"

Since the blood shadow was born from his inner darkness, Gu Lan decided to purge it today.

"You!" the blood shadow sneered as it charged forward.

With a flash, it appeared before Gu Lan and struck.

The attack was wild, but Gu Lan didn't move a step.

The blood energy scattered, and Gu Lan was immediately consumed.

But in moments, Gu Lan walked out unscathed.

"Since you are me, your strength is my strength. How could I be affected?"

Just a moment ago, he had felt the blood shadow was somewhat frightening, but now, thinking about it, it wasn't so.

Suddenly, he had an epiphany, and the blood shadow before him was greatly startled.

Its face darkened, and killing intent flashed in its eyes.

"You!"

Before the blood shadow could finish its words, Gu Lan flashed behind it.

With one hand pressing down, he forced it to its knees.

"You think you can absorb me? I can do the same to you."

"It looks like you're the last bit of power remaining. Come here!"

Gu Lan's expression was icy as he encased the blood shadow in his energy.

The blood shadow tried to resist, but suddenly realized it had no strength to fight back against Gu Lan's power.

"No! You can't absorb me! I am the true master of this body!" the blood shadow shouted in panic. This was not part of its plan.

It had intended to absorb Gu Lan completely, not to be destroyed.

"Foolish!" Gu Lan coldly replied, and with a forceful push, shattered the blood shadow's body.

At the same time, the surrounding blood energy converged in Gu Lan's palm.

The blood sea beneath him bubbled, and Gu Lan's vision cleared.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the palace.

The chaotic energy inside him had disappeared.

What surprised Gu Lan the most, however, was not that, but the fact that his injuries had completely healed.

Of course, Gu Lan didn't hesitate for long, quickly suppressing his energy.

This encounter had taught him a lesson—Blood Demon Kung Fu was terrifying.

After a moment's thought, Gu Lan's expression hardened.

He gathered his energy and transformed what the blood shadow had left behind into something new.

He was still curious about what had just happened.

Unable to make sense of it, he thought that perhaps the answers lay in what the blood shadow had left behind.

As his energy infused the object, images began to appear in his mind.

Gradually, the already serious expression on Gu Lan's face turned even more somber.

"Heart Demon!"

According to what the blood shadow had left behind, the heart demon would not appear just once—it could reappear in the future.

More importantly, the stronger the Blood Demon Kung Fu became, the harder it would be to resist in the future.

"Ah!" Gu Lan sighed deeply, a look of helplessness in his eyes.

For now, he could only avoid using it too much. Hopefully, this way, there might still be a chance for change.

But he wasn't sure what the final outcome would be. No one could predict it.

Of course, now was not the time to dwell on this.

The Xuanyuan Clan would not give up easily. It was just a matter of time before they arrived.

Gu Lan stepped out of the palace and ascended into the air.

As soon as he stopped, Xue Lengyan appeared from the shadows.

Xue Lengyan didn't speak, but her gaze remained fixed on him.

After scanning Gu Lan carefully, she finally spoke with a serious expression.

"What just happened? Why did you have such a strong aura?"

Looking at her grave expression, Gu Lan replied calmly.

"I ran into some small problems, but it's been resolved."

"Thanks again. If you or your subordinates need anything, I'll do my best to help!"

Xue Lengyan didn't take it seriously. Her plans were much bigger.

She wouldn't be distracted by such trivial matters.

"By the way, Master Gu, come with me to a place. There's someone you might need to meet."

Hearing this, Gu Lan looked puzzled.
