My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 853 - 853: Death and Dissolution

However, this sorrow did not last long, and soon Gu Lan had regained his composure.

Though he had a choice, he did not want to take it this way.

At this moment, Shadow was several hundred yards away from Gu Lan.

The scene before him made his expression grow incredibly serious.

To kill Gu Lan was something he simply could not do.

Yet he dared not approach, for the thousands of sword lights before him exuded an incredibly terrifying aura.

With his strength, it was impossible to block this sword light.

After standing still and contemplating for some time, the Shadow took a step back and disappeared from sight.

However, he did not retreat far; instead, he stopped at a distance of several miles.

Since he had promised Gu Lan, he would stay until the very last moment.

He hoped that Gu Lan would not face any unexpected incidents so that he would not need to intervene.

At the same time, a layer of bloodlight surged from Gu Lan's body.

Gu Lan closed his eyes, and before him, a blood shadow gradually took shape.

"Are you truly willing to die here?"

"With so many things left undone, are you sure about letting it all go?"

"Is it worth abandoning your loved ones for me?"

...

Under the words of the Blood Demon, Gu Lan's expression shifted slightly.

But soon, his face returned to calm.

This time, Gu Lan did not get angry but instead spoke very calmly.

"You can't affect me!"

"If I don't deal with you, they will be in danger."

Gu Lan's face remained indifferent, and his voice had no fluctuations.

Seeing this, the Shadow in the world of consciousness suddenly darkened.

Killing intent appeared in his eyes, and his fury reached a boiling point.

"Do you really think I can't possess you? Even if you die, I can still attach myself to someone else!"

The Blood Demon was enraged, and as he said this, Gu Lan smiled very calmly.

"If I die, you die."

What the Blood Demon said was of no concern to him.

This guy and himself were one body, formed by his own power.

If he died, the Blood Demon could not possibly survive.

It would dissipate along with his consciousness.

...

After several breaths, the Blood Demon closed his mouth.

He tried both soft and hard approaches, but Gu Lan remained unmoved.

Gu Lan's thoughts were crystal clear to him, and he knew what Gu Lan intended to do. If forced, he could indeed act!

This made the Blood Demon anxious.

In the world of consciousness, the Blood Demon continuously attempted to calm him.

But Gu Lan paid no attention; he wanted to rid himself of the blood energy inside him.

Yet repeated attempts proved futile.

The Blood Demon was not concerned with this, only focused on breaking the seal.

As long as the Great Path energy dissipated, he would once again take control of Gu Lan's body.

Gu Lan had not succeeded, but the Blood Demon made some progress.

The Great Path energy was already weak, and with the Blood Demon's continued attacks, it weakened even further.

Feeling the abnormality within his body, Gu Lan's expression darkened, and cold light flashed in his eyes.

Now, his strength loosened again, and it wouldn't be long before the Blood Demon emerged.

"Your actions could be more forceful!"

The voice in front of Gu Lan was cold, and golden light flashed in his hands.

At the same time, a sword's cry echoed through the heavens.

Thousands of sword lights flickered, ready to strike at any moment.

In that instant, a sharp pain suddenly surged within Gu Lan.

The blood energy completely enveloped him, and his vision went dark, sending him directly into the world of consciousness.

Only the last trace of Great Path energy remained. The Blood Demon wore a sinister smile.

"Didn't you want to act? Let's see you try!"

The Blood Demon was exceedingly arrogant. In the world of consciousness, external forces could not be controlled.

Seeing his expression, Gu Lan remained indifferent, and his true energy manifested.

"Are you sure?"

As he spoke, Gu Lan's lips curled into a slight smile.

Seeing this, the Blood Demon froze.

In that moment, the world of consciousness began to collapse.

Both their figures disappeared at the same time.

Outside, the thousands of sword lights pierced through Gu Lan's body.

The shrill sound of the sword echoed incessantly, and the blood pouring from Gu Lan's body stained the earth beneath him!

The sudden change took the Blood Demon by surprise.

He hurriedly manipulated the blood energy, but the speed at which his power drained far exceeded his ability to cope.

"You madman!"

The Blood Demon roared in anger, not expecting Gu Lan to truly use this self-destructive method.

"I've said before, if I die, you won't survive either. Did you really think I couldn't deal with you!"

At this moment, Gu Lan had come to terms with it.

Once he was dead, the outside world would no longer be affected.

Mu Yuyan and Gu Simu could be safe!

"Are you really willing to give up nearly a century of cultivation?"

"Stop now, it's not too late!"

The Blood Demon was desperate, trying to make the sword light stop.

But it was futile; he couldn't control it, not even feeling the sword energy.

Gu Lan's face remained cold, unmoving.

Watching his consciousness slowly fade away, Gu Lan bitterly smiled.

"I didn't expect this to be the end."

Outside, Shadow sensed the anomaly.

He abruptly opened his eyes and quickly adjusted his aura.

"How could it be so soon!"

He had thought it would take much longer, but it had arrived much faster than expected.

Shadow was momentarily at a loss, and his expression grew extremely grim.

Just as he was unsure of what to do, the Hongmeng Sword emitted a series of sword cries, ready to charge forward.

Seeing this, Shadow quickly intercepted the Hongmeng Sword.

However, he had underestimated the power of the Hongmeng Sword, which dragged him forward.

Shadow dared not release it now, as the speed exceeded his expectations.

But if it kept going, he too would be heading to his death.

The thousands of sword lights continued, and with his strength, how could he possibly block them?

"Stop, if you go, he will surely die!"

Shadow tried to persuade the Hongmeng Sword, but it was of no use.

What Shadow didn't know was that when Gu Lan had handed over the Hongmeng Sword, he had left behind a force within it.

Once the formation was activated, the Hongmeng Sword would emerge alongside it.

"Zing!"

A tearing sound rang out as the Hongmeng Sword pierced through Gu Lan's heart.

Blood gushed out, and Shadow stood frozen, unable to react.

He trembled and unknowingly took a step back.

"Gu... Master Gu!"

This time, he received no response, and Gu Lan's aura dissipated completely.

He had not expected that Gu Lan truly had such courage.

Under his gaze, the Hongmeng Sword emerged from Gu Lan's body and soared into the sky.

Seeing this, the Shadow immediately gathered his true energy and followed in pursuit.

With Gu Lan's death, he no longer wished to remain here.

He needed to report this matter to Mo Xuan for the Wizard Clan to make a decision.

Guided by the Hongmeng Sword, he exited the secret place without much effort.

As soon as he stepped out, he could no longer feel the Hongmeng Sword's aura.

He was somewhat shocked, but didn't pay much attention.

After all, the Hongmeng Sword was Gu Lan's weapon; it was only natural for it to have such terrifying power.
