My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 827 - 827: Severing His Arm

With a grim expression, the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan locked his icy gaze on Gu Lan, clearly ready to make his move. Seeing this, Gu Lan's expression remained cold as he took a step back.

"If the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan dares to act, don't hold back. Kill the young lord directly!" Gu Lan declared, his tone sharp and unyielding.

If it came down to mutual destruction, he didn't believe the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan would gamble with the life of his own young lord.

The moment his words fell, Xue Lengyan immediately grabbed the young lord by the throat. With a slight squeeze, the young lord's face turned bright red from lack of air.

This time, Xue Lengyan didn't hold back her strength; instead, her grip tightened further.

"Lord of Xuanyuan Clan, think carefully. If I exert just a bit more force, he will die!" Xue Lengyan warned, her tone calm but menacing.

"Then let's see who is faster!" the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan replied coldly, his voice devoid of emotion. In a flash, he appeared right in front of Gu Lan, moving so swiftly that even Gu Lan couldn't react in time.

Before Gu Lan could even lift his head, the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan's hand had already landed heavily on his shoulder.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, a surge of powerful energy erupted and spread outward. The heavens quaked, and Gu Lan's expression turned even darker as his brows furrowed.

He tried to break free, but the overwhelming force from the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan held him in place, leaving him unable to move.

"What immense strength!" Gu Lan thought, gritting his teeth as a blood-red aura began to emanate from his body.

He knew that if he didn't counteract this force, he would meet a grim end.

The sudden turn of events left Xue Lengyan stunned. She hadn't anticipated the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan to be this fast. Her grip on the young lord loosened slightly, her face growing tense.

While Xue Lengyan hesitated, Gu Lan's voice suddenly reached her ears.

"Take him and leave!" Gu Lan ordered coldly, his voice carrying a chilling murderous intent that sent shivers down Xue Lengyan's spine.

She understood all too well what Gu Lan was about to do—she had seen him in such a state before.

"Ah!"

With a furious roar, a blood-red light shot straight into the sky. In that instant, Gu Lan broke free from the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan's control.

The blood-red glow spread across the heavens, dimming the entire sky.

The Lord of Xuanyuan Clan took two steps back, his expression dark and grim.

At this moment, Gu Lan's eyes were bloodshot, and his aura had reached its peak. The terrifying energy of slaughter surrounded him, and countless blood shadows emerged, filling the air.

Although Gu Lan still retained a sliver of consciousness, his body was increasingly beyond his control.

"Lord of Xuanyuan Clan, what you've done today, I will repay a hundredfold!" Gu Lan roared, his voice like a thunderclap echoing across the heavens.

"Break his arm!"

Gu Lan's furious command resounded, and a blood-red light shot out from the imperial palace.

A horrifying scream followed—the source was none other than the young lord of Xuanyuan.

Seeing this, the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan's eyes burned with unconcealed fury.

"How dare you?!" he bellowed.

Gu Lan replied with a cold laugh. "You can try me and see if I dare!"

If he were to die here today, he would ensure the young lord of Xuanyuan wouldn't live either. Even in death, he would drag the young lord down with him.

"Then I'll kill you first!"

The Lord of Xuanyuan Clan unsheathed the Xuanyuan Sword and swung it, unleashing countless sword lights that filled the heavens.

Gu Lan did not back down. With a tremble of the Hongmeng Sword in his hand, he charged straight into the sky.

From the start, Gu Lan had sensed the hostility emanating from the Hongmeng Sword, and now was the perfect time to unleash it.

Due to the power of Blood Demon Kung Fu, the Hongmeng Sword's strength had significantly increased.

Rip!

The sound of tearing filled the air, and the entire sky trembled violently.

Boom! Boom!

The deafening explosions caused the surrounding space to collapse.

Previously, Gu Lan was no match for the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan.

But now, Gu Lan could hold his ground against him.

Even so, Gu Lan knew he couldn't let this drag on.

The power of Blood Demon Kung Fu was immense, but the cost was equally high. It not only drained his life force but also threatened to rob him of his sanity.

If he lost his mind, not only would Busi fall into the hands of the enemy, but he himself would also perish.

The overwhelming power Gu Lan displayed left the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan deeply shocked. However, he showed no intention of putting away the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.

"Impressive strength. Let's see how long you can last!" the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan sneered, as though he had forgotten the price Gu Lan was paying.

Just as he was about to strike again, another miserable scream echoed from the imperial palace.

"Ah!"

The young lord of Xuanyuan's cry of agony caused the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan to hesitate momentarily.

Gu Lan seized the opportunity to retreat several hundred feet away.

There was no point in dragging this out. Gu Lan didn't want to waste any more time.

Shooting a cold glance at the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan, Gu Lan spoke with an icy expression.

"If you make another move, I'll make him wish he were dead!"

The Lord of Xuanyuan Clan initially considered taking another gamble, but Gu Lan's words froze him in place.

"If the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan dares to act again, I'll ensure the young lord is sent to his death!" Gu Lan declared, his voice cold and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

The Lord of Xuanyuan Clan stopped in his tracks.

He knew that Gu Lan wasn't bluffing. After some consideration, he withdrew his aura, though the killing intent in his eyes didn't fade.

"I'll spare your life. Release him now!"

The Lord of Xuanyuan Clan's tone carried a commanding arrogance, which Gu Lan found deeply displeasing. Without even looking at him, Gu Lan responded with a cold shake of his head.

"Lord of Xuanyuan Clan, the price you're offering is too steep."

Before the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan could reply, a chilling voice rang out from the void.

"If the stalemate can't be resolved, why not hand the young lord of Xuanyuan over to me?"

Hearing this voice, Gu Lan froze, and everyone from the Xuanyuan Clan looked up in unison.

"Who's there? Stop hiding and show yourself!"

Accompanying the icy voice, two men dressed in black robes descended from the sky.

"Wizards?!"

The sight of the two black-robed figures made the Lord of Xuanyuan Clan's face darken.
