My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 818 - 818: Destroying the Two Elders

In Gu Lan's blood-red eyes, they felt endless terror.

This power was more horrifying than any aura they had ever encountered before.

Gu Lan did not bother with them, her gaze shifting again, and with a single palm strike, she sent Humei flying back hundreds of meters.

Without the support of the array, Humei was no match for Gu Lan.

The difference in power between them was several times greater.

Stabilizing her body, Humei spat out blood.

Her face turned pale, and sweat started to form on her forehead.

"How could this be!"

When she looked at Gu Lan again, deep fear filled her eyes.

Though her power wasn't as great as that of the other elders, her formation was something that most people couldn't escape from.

She had initially thought that she could trap Gu Lan within this array, but to her surprise, Gu Lan had escaped so easily.

"With just this thing, you think you can trap me!"

Gu Lan's voice was a bit hoarse, and the killing intent within it was extremely terrifying.

"Roar..."

Gu Lan let out a roar, charging forward again.

With a single strike, a blood-red sword shadow slashed down.

The power of this strike was incredibly terrifying, accompanied by a ripping sound, causing the space to explode.

Humei did not dare to face it head-on and quickly shifted her energy to retreat.

Though she dodged the blow, her face grew even darker.

Just as she was about to circulate her true energy, she felt a sharp pain in her arm.

Looking down, she found that half of her body had been drenched in blood.

Cracks spread across her entire arm, and the gathered true energy had dissipated.

Gu Lan wouldn't give her any time to catch her breath and launched dozens more sword strikes.

Gu Lan knew that her time was limited.

If she delayed any further, she would lose control.

As Gu Lan's attacks grew stronger, Humei showed signs of panic and dared not continue.

At first, she hadn't thought Gu Lan's power was that strong.

But gradually, she realized the gap between them was enormous.

Especially after Gu Lan used an unknown martial technique, she realized she was no match for her at all.

Faced with Gu Lan's attacks, she had no strength to resist.

Seeing that Gu Lan had unleashed such power, Xue Kuang appeared, looking panicked, and descended from the void.

"Zzz!"

A piercing tearing sound rang out, and a blood-red sword shadow shot toward Humei.

Gu Lan's strike was incredibly fast, faster than Humei could dodge.

Seeing the blow coming, Humei had already resigned herself to her fate.

She knew that this sword would kill her!

"Zzz..."

She had prepared herself for death, but the sword did not harm her.

Slowly opening her eyes, she found Xue Kuang standing in front of her.

And Gu Lan's sword had pierced through Xue Kuang's heart.

The sudden turn of events was unexpected for Gu Lan.

The Hongmeng Sword was withdrawn, and the blood energy around Gu Lan quickly suppressed.

She had reached her limit; if she didn't suppress this power, she would die!

Gu Lan's expression turned grim and cold.

"Foolish creatures, get lost!"

Gu Lan had no good impression of the Xuanyuan Clan.

True energy gathered in her palm, but just as she raised her hand, it lowered again.

This person had been struck by her sword, and even if she didn't attack now, he was already certain to die.

"With you two in this state, you are no match for me."

"Leave my sight immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Lan withdrew her aura.

Xue Kuang slowly fell from the sky, while Humei took a step forward.

"Why are you doing this?"

Humei's face was cold, her eyes filled with darkness.

"Leave this place, do not come here again; you are not his match!"

These were Xue Kuang's last words, and with them, his breath faded away.

Humei slowly laid him down, stood up, and her eyes turned blood-red.

Her gaze toward Gu Lan was now filled with murderous intent.

Sensing her strange gaze, Gu Lan turned coldly.

"I advise you, don't be ungrateful, or you will end up like him!"

"Even if I die today, I will avenge that sword strike!"

Humei's aura suddenly surged, and the surroundings were instantly filled with blood-red light.

Seeing the power Humei had unleashed, Gu Lan's expression darkened.

Before the energy gathered, Gu Lan swiftly moved behind her.

"You are asking for death!"

Gu Lan's face remained indifferent as she swung her sword down in dozens of strikes.

Gu Lan's sudden attack caught Humei off guard.

The sword light struck, and in an instant, Humei was consumed by the force.

She had already been severely wounded earlier, and there was no way she could withstand Gu Lan's power now.

When the sword shadows in the void dispersed, Humei was left with only a breath.

Gu Lan paid her no further attention and coldly said,

"Leave, your life is nearly over!"

Gu Lan had no intention of striking again, her aura now completely retracted.

But in that moment, her cold gaze involuntarily turned toward the heavens.

Dozens of figures flashed by, moving at incredible speed.

Gu Lan leaped into the air, but before she could reach a hundred meters, Xue Lengyan spoke from a distance.

"Don't waste your energy. They've already escaped!"

Not only did Gu Lan sense it, but Xue Lengyan had also seen those figures.

Those people were no weaklings, and their power was even greater than she had expected.

Chasing after them would be futile, and Gu Lan may not even be able to defeat them.

Gu Lan's face darkened, and her aura was retracted.

Since those people had already fled, there was no need to pursue them.

Gu Lan said nothing and turned to leave.

Moments later, she disappeared from the scene.

Xue Lengyan, seeing this, quickly followed.

The ones who had just fled were also powerful members of the Xuanyuan Clan.

The figure was cloaked in black robes, with a mask covering his face.

After a long time, they stopped in a dim, empty space.

Behind him, there were two or three more figures in black robes.

"Third Elder, if we watch them die without helping, I'm afraid..."

Before the words could be finished, the Third Elder turned coldly.

"What do you mean, 'watch them die without helping'? We saw everything."

At his cold words, the others behind him were stunned.

They shook their heads grimly and said nothing further.

"When we arrived, the Fourth and Fifth Elders had already been killed. Gu Lan's power is terrifying; we are no match for her!"

"We understand!"

These subordinates were wise enough not to say another word in front of him.

"Since the elders are willing to fight, let them fight it out."

Inside the palace, Gu Lan's face remained cold, and the expressions of the people below her were equally grim.

"My Lord, perhaps we should strike first,"

Zhongren said with a grave face. He knew the current situation very well.

If this dragged on, it would only be to their disadvantage.

"Impossible. If we strike first, we will anger the Xuanyuan Clan,"

said Xue Lengyan, who was standing by.

She knew the situation better than anyone.

She had already sent people to investigate the Xuanyuan Clan's temperament.
