My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 845 - 845: Go Together

This time, Shadow did not hold back, he gave a bow to Gu Lan and then turned around to retreat.

His speed was incredibly fast, and Gu Lan could only smile helplessly. It didn't matter now; he had to resolve the trouble first.

The Hongmeng Sword appeared, and true energy surged out of his body without reservation.

Before the monsters in front could advance, Gu Lan took the initiative, rushing forward with his sword raised.

With a tearing sound, thousands of sword lights cut forward.

"Zzz… Zzz…"

The sword lights flashed repeatedly, and the hands of these creatures were slashed with hundreds of sword marks.

However, just like before, the wounds did not last long.

The injuries on these creatures were healing instantly. Gu Lan's face darkened as he pushed forward.

Turning into a blur of motion, he struck with tens of thousands of swords in the blink of an eye.

...

After several thousand exchanges, the healing ability of these creatures had noticeably weakened.

But at this point, Gu Lan was also exhausted.

He was now about a hundred paces away from them, and sweat was beginning to bead on his forehead.

He knew that if this continued, he might not be able to gain the upper hand.

But right now, he couldn't afford to retreat—doing so would give these creatures an opportunity!

"Roar..."

While Gu Lan was still deliberating, the creatures before him let out growls.

Terrifying blood energy surged, and they transformed into shadows that rushed toward him.

Their speed was incredible; Gu Lan could only see a fleeting blur of them.

Gu Lan's expression turned cold, and the Hongmeng Sword flew toward the heavens.

But this time, it wasn't for attacking. Instead, he was using it to block the creatures.

However, his strength was ultimately limited. He couldn't block them for too long.

"Slash!"

With a furious shout from Gu Lan, the sword light exploded, transforming into countless rays of cold light that struck outward.

The screeching shrieks were unbearable, and Gu Lan took a step back, retreating a hundred paces.

But finally, the monsters' progress had been halted.

Gu Lan knew these creatures wouldn't just give up, so he didn't dare relax.

Before he could advance again, he saw a hundred blood-red eyes flash in the darkness.

"There are more!"

Gu Lan's expression changed, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected there to be so many!

For a moment, he was at a loss, his face turning even darker.

If this was the case, things would be difficult.

Even with his strength, taking down four or five of these monsters was challenging. How could he possibly fend off over a hundred?

In the distance, Shadow's expression darkened.

"Am I going to die here?!"

He had originally been ordered to follow Gu Lan, but he didn't expect to risk his life.

Throughout the journey, he had nearly died on multiple occasions.

And now, with even more enemies appearing, he was truly terrified.

"Master Gu, what should we do next?"

"Take them out of here. I can hold them off for a while!"

Gu Lan furrowed his brows as he spoke, but he didn't receive a reply from Shadow.

Before his words had even finished, Blood Demon sneered mockingly.

"Just you? Don't dream!"

"Enough of the nonsense, I'll get rid of you soon enough!"

Gu Lan was too focused to engage in any more conversation. Gripping the Hongmeng Sword, he rushed upward.

His movements were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he swung thousands of swords.

Though he was already exhausted, he did not dare to hold back.

The sword lights flickered continuously, and a powerful aura spread outward.

But his strength was still limited. When his sword lights struck the creatures, they left barely any scars.

Even if he injured them, the wounds healed almost immediately!

...

After several breaths, Gu Lan was already feeling fatigued.

However, the monsters before him still appeared as strong as ever, with their aura showing no signs of weakening.

Shadow, not daring to hesitate, quickly urged the old man.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave!"

At his urging, the hundred people behind them finally came to their senses.

"Hurry up and leave!"

Although they had no cultivation, they were quick to react and didn't dare to stay any longer.

Even without cultivation, their speed was surprisingly fast.

In just a few breaths, they had fled more than a thousand paces away.

But even so, they were still worried.

They kept their eyes on the distant battlefield, unwilling to leave.

After considering it, Shadow suddenly flashed in front of Gu Lan.

Gu Lan was caught off guard.

"What are you doing?"

"Naturally, I'm going with Master Gu to solve this trouble!" Shadow responded.

He knew that if these creatures weren't dealt with, there was no way he would be able to leave the Ancient God Clan.

Gu Lan smiled helplessly and opened up his energy once more.

"Then come with me and let's fight together!"

Shadow's overall strength wasn't weak. With his help, Gu Lan had a better chance of success.

At that moment, blood light began to surge from Gu Lan's body.

Though he was reluctant to use the Blood Demon Kung Fu, he had no better choice now. As long as he didn't go too far, Blood Demon could still be controlled!

In the world of consciousness, trapped within the golden light, Blood Demon sneered coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Do you think you can solve this trouble? You're overestimating yourself!"

His arrogance showed no sign of diminishing, and his voice echoed in Gu Lan's ears.

"I don't need you to worry about my business!"

Gu Lan, filled with hatred for Blood Demon, spoke in a voice that was as cold as ice.

Gu Lan and Shadow were both clear on their goals—they weren't trying to fight all the monsters, just a few.

With their combined effort, three monsters fell to the ground in pools of blood.

They had used up all their strength to bring these three down.

When Gu Lan's final sword struck, the aura of these creatures dissipated.

Shadow gasped for breath, his face grim.

It had taken so much effort to defeat three of them, even with their combined strength.

Now, they still had to face a hundred more creatures. He was beginning to have second thoughts!

"Master Gu, we should escape!"

At this rate, there was no hope. Continuing this fight would only lead to their deaths.

Since they couldn't gain the upper hand, why not leave and preserve their strength for another day?

His words weren't wrong, but Gu Lan shook his head with a darkened expression.

"You can leave, but I can't!"

This situation had arisen because of him. If he left, everyone here would suffer as a result!

Gu Lan refused to leave, and Shadow had no choice but to accept it.

Just as the two of them were hesitating, dozens of blood shadows flashed and appeared behind them.

"Szz!"

The blood light descended, and Gu Lan and Shadow were both knocked back several steps.

...

Just moments ago, Gu Lan had Shadow in a more active position, but now, they had no chance to counterattack.

After hundreds of exchanges, Gu Lan and Shadow could only retreat awkwardly, dodging the attacks.

"Master Gu, if this continues, we might lose our lives!"

Shadow could see the situation clearly now.

Continuously dodging wasn't going to work, and if they weren't careful, they'd end up dead!

Gu Lan wasn't unaware of this, but right now, he couldn't find an opening.

Even if he attacked, it might not be enough to deal with these creatures!

"We'll lead them away from here!"

They couldn't stay any longer; one mistake could give the monsters an advantage!

Gu Lan and Shadow moved quickly, but when they reached a hundred paces away, they both stopped.
