My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 835 - 835: Awakening Consciousness

With the cold voice of Young Lord Xuanyuan, a hundred strong warriors surged forward from behind him.

Though they were fearful, they dared not disobey Young Lord Xuanyuan's orders.

The speed of the group was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had appeared in front of Gu Lan.

However, before they could strike, the ferocious expression on Gu Lan's face and the overwhelming pressure emanating from his body immediately sent chills down their spines.

"How dare you be impudent in my Xuanyuan Clan! I'll kill you!"

An icy voice rang out, and the group of one hundred surged forward in unison.

Their speed was astonishing, and hundreds of golden sword shadows rushed straight toward Gu Lan's face.

Despite their terrifying strength, none of them could even glimpse Gu Lan's figure.

The surrounding blood energy surged forth, instantly shattering their attack.

"Seeking death!"

Gu Lan let out a furious roar, then transformed into a blood shadow and vanished.

"Zzi..."

The harsh sound of tearing echoed, blood splattered, and dozens of men fell into a pool of blood.

Gu Lan's expression darkened as he absorbed the blood energy cleanly.

Under the shroud of blood energy, they had no strength to resist.

In no time, they all lost their breath.

Gu Lan licked his lips meaningfully, gripping the Hongmeng Sword in his hand, preparing to advance again.

Watching the fierce battle before him, Young Lord Xuanyuan's face grew increasingly grim.

As more and more Xuanyuan Clan warriors perished, panic began to creep into his heart.

With a darkened expression, he quickly retreated.

He could not afford to engage with Gu Lan; otherwise, it would be a dead-end for him!

Releasing his aura, his speed was quicker.

As he retreated, only a few dozen of his men remained in front of him.

Each of them had a grim expression, their eyes filled with fear and caution.

Gu Lan's power exceeded their expectations, and continuing to fight would lead them to the same fate—death.

Though they had lost the will to fight, Gu Lan showed no sign of sparing them.

His cold gaze locked onto the group, and blood light flickered.

With one step, he directly killed all the remaining men.

Even in death, they could not find peace, as all their blood energy was absorbed by Gu Lan.

But it was clear that Gu Lan's absorption speed had slowed considerably, and the malicious aura surrounding him grew stronger.

In the shadows, Gu Simu and Zhongren both noticed this and wore grim expressions.

Gu Simu no longer wished to wait and directly adjusted her energy.

"Uncle Zhongren, you stay here. I'll go to stop Father!"

Though she did not fully understand the situation, Gu Simu did not want to see her father like this.

Just as she was about to move forward, Zhongren stopped her with a firm grip.

"Young Lord, I'll go first!"

At this moment, Gu Lan had completely lost control. If Gu Simu went, she would be in danger.

Zhongren had long since let go of life and death, believing that he should go.

But before he could react, Gu Simu leapt forward and vanished.

The girl wouldn't listen to advice, Zhongren had not anticipated this.

He quickly mobilized his energy to follow, but he was still slower than Gu Simu.

The Xuanyuan Clan was now nowhere to be seen, and Gu Lan's blood energy was growing even more rampant!

"Blood, I need blood!"

Gu Lan's screams echoed, and the space around him was filled with blood energy.

"Father!"

Gu Simu's voice suddenly rang out, and Gu Lan's face twisted in anger as he turned.

But there was no tenderness in his gaze, instead, a greedy smile spread across his face.

"What powerful energy!"

Gu Simu was also startled by the look in Gu Lan's eyes.

But before she could react, Gu Lan vanished behind her in the blink of an eye and struck out with a palm.

Gu Simu, caught off guard, was sent flying a hundred meters.

She staggered to a stop, spitting out blood, her face pale, and her breath nearly gone.

"You're not my father! Give him back to me!"

Gu Simu screamed, but Gu Lan only sneered as he walked closer.

"You mean that waste? He's already gone!"

Gu Lan's voice was chilling as he grabbed Gu Simu's throat with one hand.

Seeing this, Zhongren's face changed urgently.

He mobilized his strength and advanced quickly to Gu Lan's side, raising his hand to strike.

But before he could get close, Gu Lan blocked his attack with a single hand.

With a crunch, Zhongren's arm was broken by Gu Lan.

"Don't worry, once I absorb him, I'll deal with you!"

Zhongren's face twisted in pain, but he could not break free from Gu Lan's control.

"My Lord, please wake up!"

Zhongren used all his strength, but Gu Lan's face remained twisted in a cruel grin.

"I told you, that waste is gone. This body is mine!"

"I am the Blood Demon. You should consider it lucky to become my power!"

Gu Lan's smile was full of arrogance as the blood energy began to envelop Gu Simu.

Although Gu Lan did not know Gu Simu's background, the aura emanating from her was powerful.

This power was exactly what he needed.

As Gu Lan's energy enveloped her, Gu Simu's strength began to fade.

"Father... Father, it's me..."

In the world of consciousness, Gu Lan, who had been unconscious, suddenly heard Gu Simu's voice.

"My daughter!"

Gu Lan's eyes snapped open, filled with concern.

"Father..."

Gu Simu's weak voice called out again, and Gu Lan grew even more anxious.

Just then, he saw clearly.

His hand was still gripping Gu Simu's throat, constantly drawing her strength.

"Stop!"

Gu Lan roared, and terrifying true energy surged from his body.

"Boom... Boom..."

Explosions rang out, and the chains surrounding his body shattered.

But in the next instant, the chains reappeared and restrained him once more.

The blood energy surged, and the blood sea beneath him churned violently.

"Stop wasting your energy. This body is now under my control!"

The Blood Demon's voice rang out as Gu Lan's eyes blazed with fury.

"You won't get away with this!"

Gu Lan had become completely berserk, letting the blood wash over him without any effect.

"Try to harm her, and I'll destroy you even if I have to die!"

Gu Lan screamed in fury, unleashing all of his energy.

Though the chains still restrained him, they could no longer control his movements.

The Hongmeng Sword appeared in his hand as he swung it down fiercely.

With a booming sound, the blood beneath his feet immediately boiled.

At the same time, the Blood Demon, controlling the body, suddenly paused.

"How is this possible?"

The Blood Demon's face was full of disbelief, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Gu Lan's consciousness, which had been on the verge of fading, had suddenly reappeared.

While the Blood Demon was still puzzled, the hand he had been holding—Gu Simu's—was released.

The hand, now free from control, suddenly swung forward, landing a punch to the Demon's chest.

"Boom!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and the Blood Demon was forced back a hundred meters.

Gu Lan's left hand, still out of control, moved to strike.

The Blood Demon controlled the other half of the body, raising his hand to retaliate.

Gu Lan fought alone in the void, while Gu Simu and Zhongren exchanged confused glances.

But Zhongren did not hesitate. He reattached his broken bone and rushed toward Gu Simu.

Gu Simu was already extremely weak, her energy barely left.

He stopped, quickly taking out a pill.

"Miss, take this!"
