My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 888 - 888: Easily Seized

Upon hearing Gu Lan's question, Xue Lengyan shook her head.

If she had a solution, she wouldn't be waiting here for Gu Lan. This was a matter of life and death for the Blood Clan warriors—she couldn't afford to wait any longer!

Seeing that Xue Lengyan had no response, Gu Lan fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Gu Lan slowly raised his head.

"I'll handle this."

Since Xue Lengyan didn't have a solution, he would use his own methods. He couldn't believe that such a small problem was beyond his abilities.

Xue Lengyan was about to try to stop him again, but Gu Lan didn't give her the chance.

He mobilized his true energy and made a gesture towards An Ying.

However, An Ying hesitated and did not dare to follow Gu Lan's pace.

He clearly knew what Gu Lan was about to do.

Once he followed, there was no telling what kind of unexpected outcomes could arise.

The second elder of the Wizard Clan was the pinnacle of the Wizard Clan's power.

If that guy made an appearance, his own life would be forfeit without a doubt.

Even with Gu Lan around, it was not certain he would survive.

"Master Gu, you go alone. I don't dare face that person."

His words were entirely reasonable, but Gu Lan was not about to let him off so easily.

"With me around, do you still need to worry? I promise you won't die."

The reason he wanted An Ying to accompany him was that he could be of use.

If not, Gu Lan wouldn't waste his breath on him.

Gu Lan didn't give him a chance to explain, and placed a hand on his shoulder.

An Ying froze, a grim look on his face, unsure of what to do.

Seeing Gu Lan's earnest gaze, he finally nodded.

"I'll go with you, Master Gu."

He was now left with no choice.

Gu Lan nodded in satisfaction at his answer.

With a single step, he instantly entered the void.

Gu Lan had originally not planned to intervene, but now that the enemy had come looking for trouble, how could he continue hiding?

Gu Lan moved quickly, and in no time, he stopped in a dim, empty space.

He could sense the presence of the Wizard Clan here, and it wasn't weak.

"I've come this far. There's no need for you to keep hiding. Come out!"

Gu Lan was familiar with the energy he sensed, and it seemed that the second elder of the Wizard Clan was among them.

At Gu Lan's cold words, over a hundred figures suddenly appeared from the void.

As soon as Gu Lan saw these figures, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"With these guys, you want to fight me?"

The second elder did not respond to his mockery from a distance.

A murderous aura appeared in his eyes, and his energy immediately surged.

"The last time you wounded me, I was caught off guard. This time, I won't let you have your way!"

He had never forgiven himself for being wounded by Gu Lan, and everything he had done was to make Gu Lan pay the price.

"As a long elder of the Wizard Clan, how could you act so recklessly?"

"Listen to me. If you stop now, it's not too late. Otherwise, they'll all die!"

Gu Lan wasn't joking with these words. The Hongmeng Sword in his hand emitted a sharp, ear-piercing screech.

Gu Lan initially wanted to scare them off with this technique.

But what he didn't expect was that these guys were not at all intimidated.

Seeing their response, Gu Lan couldn't help but feel helpless.

He slashed out with his sword, and ten thousand sword lights filled the sky.

"This is your own doing!"

Gu Lan's energy was extraordinarily strong.

With one strike, the entire sky trembled.

The wizard soldiers didn't retreat a single step. They all began to mobilize their energy to resist.

Gu Lan had initially thought they wouldn't be able to withstand his attack, but after a while, he began to revise his opinion.

These guys really had some skill. If they didn't, they wouldn't have been able to block his strike.

"Boom... boom..."

The sound of explosions continued, and the surrounding sky dimmed in an instant.

Gu Lan took a step back, and the Wizard Clan warriors also retreated.

They did not attack further, leaving Gu Lan in a daze.

Just as Gu Lan was lost in thought, the second elder stepped forward.

"It's time for us to settle this."

He wasn't going to let his wizard soldiers die in vain.

The reason he had ordered them to attack was purely to wear Gu Lan down.

Seeing him step forward, Gu Lan finally snapped out of his daze.

"Your plan was quite clever. I underestimated you!"

Gu Lan couldn't deny that he had indeed expended some energy just now.

But that amount of energy loss was nothing to him. He didn't take it seriously.

Although the second elder's cultivation level was the same as Gu Lan's, there was still a gap between them.

It seemed he had some overconfidence, thinking he could deal with Gu Lan.

"Then, stop talking and let's do this!"

The second elder had caused quite a bit of trouble for Gu Lan, and Gu Lan had no intention of letting him live.

This time, he was determined to capture him once and for all.

Though the idea was good, Gu Lan still had some concerns about whether he could carry it out.

After all, this guy was no weakling, and if he tried to escape, Gu Lan might not be able to stop him.

...

Neither Gu Lan nor the second elder hesitated. They both stepped forward, and the battle began.

After hundreds of exchanges, neither Gu Lan nor the second elder could gain the upper hand.

Gu Lan retreated a hundred paces, a meaningful smile spreading across his face.

"It's your time to perform."

Gu Lan's voice suddenly reached An Ying, who was confused and didn't understand what he meant.

Before he could process the situation, Gu Lan leisurely added,

"Make good use of your identity as a strong fighter."

Although the message wasn't entirely clear, An Ying immediately understood what Gu Lan was hinting at.

His movement was swift, and he appeared in front of the second elder in an instant.

"I'm here to assist the elder!"

Saying that, he conjured a sharp blade in his hand.

Stepping forward, he drove the blade straight into the second elder's body.

"Pshhh!"

Blood splattered out, and the second elder turned in shock.

"You!"

With a cold voice, the second elder raised his hand and struck with a palm.

The force of the strike was incredibly powerful, sending An Ying flying a hundred paces away.

"Puff!"

An Ying stabilized his body, spitting out blood, and his face turned pale.

But he had preserved his life, and his energy slowly began to recover.

Seeing this, the second elder was also stunned.

"How could this be?"

As he spoke, the second elder's body shook slightly.

He was gravely injured, as the blade had struck a vital spot.

"Second elder, don't blame me. I had no choice but to act."

While the second elder was still in a daze, Gu Lan had already walked up to him.

"The second elder probably hasn't figured it out yet, let me explain."

"He's no longer part of your Wizard Clan. Today, you will die without a doubt!"

Gu Lan spoke these words with mockery, and the Hongmeng Sword in his hand flickered with cold light.

He never intended to let the second elder live and wouldn't give him any more chances.

"Second elder, our grudge ends here!"
