My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 817 - 817: Gu Lan's Intimidation

Every frown and smile from this person was incredibly captivating, and even Gu Lan couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. Not just him, but even the Blood Clan experts hidden in the shadows were staring in awe.

Just as they were lost in thought, a cold, soft cough echoed from behind them.

"Is he really that captivating?"

The icy voice of Xue Lengyan broke them from their stupor. They hurriedly averted their gazes, their faces filled with panic, shaking their heads in a hurry.

"Keep your eyes open. If anything goes wrong later, you know the consequences!"

Xue Lengyan's voice was chilling, and the Blood Clan experts dared not even take a deep breath.

From afar, Gu Lan's gaze was fixed on her, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness. The Hongmeng Sword in his hand rang out with the sound of swords clashing, and Gu Lan's aura began to spread.

When the Fourth Elder saw this, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Since Master Gu is so eager, then come at me!"

With a cold voice, she leapt forward, slamming her palm down. Instantly, the surrounding area was filled with a blood-red aura.

Seeing the attack coming at him, Gu Lan's expression darkened, raising his sword to meet it.

This person's strength was not on par with his, but he could still fight back. Compared to the previous opponents, Qingfeng and Xue Kuang, this Humei's power was lacking by a great deal.

However, just as their forces collided, the blood aura didn't dissipate. Instead, it directly enveloped Gu Lan.

The sudden change caught Gu Lan off guard.

He retreated hundreds of meters, his expression now serious.

As he cautiously surveyed the surroundings, Humei's slightly cold voice reached his ears.

"This formation of mine is something I meticulously crafted. Let's see how you fare against it today!"

Before the voice had even faded, dozens of blood-colored sword lights shot down toward him.

The speed of these sword images was astonishing, and Gu Lan couldn't help but furrow his brow.

The Hongmeng Sword in his hand trembled, and Gu Lan raised his hand, slashing with dozens of swords.

The sword lights flickered, their power strong.

In just a few breaths, the attack in front of him was shattered.

But Gu Lan couldn't find Humei's figure; it seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

"Don't waste your effort. You won't find me in my formation!"

"I think otherwise!" Gu Lan responded coldly, his true qi fully unleashed.

The Hongmeng Sword trembled in his hand, shooting toward the sky.

In an instant, it transformed into a myriad of sword shadows.

This person's strength was still far from his own, and what was a mere formation against him?

The terrifying sword qi swept down, and the surrounding space shattered at that moment.

Gu Lan had expected the blood aura to be torn apart, but it defied his expectations.

The ripping sounds echoed, but the blood aura showed no signs of dissipating.

Gu Lan's expression darkened, and a killing intent gleamed in his eyes.

At that moment, a chill spread from behind him.

Turning his head, Humei appeared, holding a short blade, launching a direct strike toward his face.

The speed of the attack was so fast that even Gu Lan couldn't block it in time.

Leaping back, he retreated a hundred meters.

As soon as he landed, Gu Lan pressed his hand down, and a multitude of sword lights surged forward.

The power and speed were extraordinary, and Humei couldn't evade them in time.

In the blink of an eye, she was pierced by countless sword strikes.

"Such little strength, and you dare to challenge me?" Gu Lan sneered. But as soon as he finished speaking, Humei's figure disappeared without a trace.

"It's an illusion!" Gu Lan was greatly shocked and gathered his true qi once more.

"No wonder. It seems you have some arrogance to back it up!"

Although Humei's strength wasn't much, her formation was indeed formidable.

It had successfully deceived his eyes, something Gu Lan hadn't anticipated.

With a grim expression, Gu Lan's aura grew stronger.

Watching the dissipating blood aura, Xue Lengyan furrowed her brows, her face serious.

Inside the aura, she could see nothing.

More importantly, she couldn't even sense Gu Lan's presence.

"The Xuanyuan Clan actually has such powerful experts!"

"Patriarch, what should we do now?"

Xue Lengyan's words had barely fallen when one of the experts couldn't help but ask.

"Stay here and keep watch!"

Since Gu Lan was trapped within this formation, there was nothing they could do even if they rushed in. It was better to guard the area.

Based on her intuition, the Xuanyuan Clan wouldn't just send one strong person, and there were definitely others hidden nearby.

With a grim look on her face, Xue Lengyan leapt into the air, her gaze scanning the surroundings.

If there were others, she had to find them.

She could not afford to let them be in a passive position with the Blood Clan's experts.

She didn't have Gu Lan's strength; if she were targeted, she'd have no way to resist.

Xue Lengyan moved at incredible speed. As soon as she stopped in a spot in the void, she saw Xue Kuang.

His face was serious, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"So it's this guy!" Xue Lengyan's expression became solemn as she suppressed her aura.

Luckily, he hadn't noticed her. If he had, things would have been difficult to deal with.

This man had been staring into the distance, his face full of grave concern.

"Could it be that he's here for the Fourth Elder?"

Even though she thought this, Xue Lengyan made no move.

She simply watched him. If she were to make a move, she wasn't sure she could defeat him.

Inside the formation, Gu Lan had already made several hundred moves.

Gu Lan had lost patience long ago, his eyes now bloodshot.

"Do you really think so highly of yourself? You're asking for death!"

Gu Lan's expression darkened as a layer of blood aura gradually appeared on his body.

If he stayed here much longer, he'd eventually be exhausted.

Since this person refused to show themselves, he'd absorb all the aura around him.

Though Gu Lan didn't want to use Blood Demon Kung Fu, he had been forced into this position.

With a slash of his sword, the surrounding blood aura began to converge toward him.

As the power entered him, Gu Lan's vision became blurred again.

But this time, he controlled his speed and didn't lose control like last time.

Although he didn't harm Gu Simu, it caused him deep self-blame.

After a while, the blood aura around him weakened by more than half.

Gu Lan dragged his heavy body, his blood-red eyes locking onto the figure in the distance.

"Let's see where you can escape to now!"

With a cold voice, he turned into a blood shadow and rushed forward.

The speed was so fast that it couldn't be tracked by the naked eye.

Seeing Gu Lan approach, Humei's face showed panic as she quickly retreated.

Her speed was fast, but she still couldn't escape Gu Lan's strike.

"Slash!"

Blood splattered as her shoulder was pierced by Gu Lan's sword.

At that moment, Gu Lan's eyes were blood-red. He no longer had any mercy.

The Blood Clan experts, having now clearly seen the situation, couldn't help but feel regret.

"Alas, Master Gu doesn't know how to show mercy."

"Such a heavy hand!"

The Blood Clan experts muttered. They were all captivated by Humei's beauty.

As they whispered, Gu Lan turned his head with a grim expression.

His bloodshot eyes locked onto them, and a murderous aura emanated from him.

One by one, they lowered their heads and retreated, trembling in fear.
