My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

A thousand sword lights flickered as Gu Lan unsheathed his sword.

Seeing the oncoming sword light, Mo Xuan quickly adjusted his energy.

His blood blade quivered and struck downward.

But he didn't notice that Gu Lan had already vanished.

The attack before him was merely a decoy; a cold chill suddenly surged from behind him.

Gu Lan had appeared behind Mo Xuan, and the Hongmeng Sword followed through, stabbing down.

However, what Gu Lan did not expect was that just as his sword was about to reach its target, Mo Xuan revealed a strange, cold smile, turning around and slamming his palm out.

The power of this strike was no small matter, directly blocking the falling sword light.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud boom, Gu Lan was forced back two steps.

He steadied himself, and his face turned extremely angry.

Killing intent flickered in his eyes as the Hongmeng Sword emitted a series of sword cries.

"How is this possible?"

Gu Lan mumbled to himself, his true energy unconsciously gathering again.

At first, Gu Lan hadn't taken this guy seriously.

But to his surprise, after Mo Xuan was reborn, his strength had increased so much.

Gu Lan's earlier strike had already used up almost half of his internal power.

If this had happened before, Mo Xuan would have never had such power.

Though shocked, Gu Lan's expression quickly turned serious.

"I underestimated you."

With those words, Gu Lan unleashed his energy once more.

The thousand sword shadows appeared, and the Great Path energy surged within him.

But before Gu Lan could strike, Mo Xuan retreated a step.

At the same time, dozens of blood figures shot out.

Each one showed a sinister expression, their bodies surrounded by a layer of blood light.

"Young Lord really knows how to gather such forces."

Gu Lan couldn't help but admit, Mo Xuan had indeed brought a considerable number of strong individuals.

This many were beyond his expectations.

These enemies were already troublesome enough to deal with, and now more had appeared. It gave Gu Lan a headache.

But now, he had no choice but to fight, as these enemies would not stop.

"Let's do this together so I don't waste any more energy."

Earlier, when Gu Lan fought, he hadn't fully unleashed the power of his Great Path energy.

Now, his aura was fully unleashed, and there was no need to wait.

Without waiting for the Wizard Clan's strongmen to act, Gu Lan took a step forward, turning into a blur.

With one slash, a thousand sword lights appeared at once.

As the sword light cleaved through the sky, Gu Lan also advanced with his sword raised.

In just a few breaths, dozens of Wizard Clan's strongmen were lying in pools of blood.

Ordinary attacks were ineffective against them, so Gu Lan had used some more direct methods.

As the sword light faded, the void was covered in corpses.

Gu Lan didn't pay them any attention, his murderous gaze fixed on Mo Xuan.

"I want to see what other tricks you have."

At this point, Gu Lan's only goal was to quickly finish off this man.

Mo Xuan's expression turned grim, and his eyes flashed with growing killing intent.

...

Meanwhile, Chi Yang led a hundred strongmen from the Lava Clan to this location.

However, Chi Yang didn't rush. He wore a meaningful smile.

"Wait for me to strike later; we must kill both of them here."

With Chi Yang's somewhat eerie voice, the Lava Clan's strongmen nodded.

Their blades shifted, and their energy began to move.

They were not worried at all that Gu Lan would detect them.

After all, Gu Lan's focus was on Mo Xuan, not on them.

Though the power Gu Lan had summoned was strong, Mo Xuan wasn't facing him head-on.

He kept dodging, making it difficult for Gu Lan to land a blow.

...

After hundreds of exchanges, Gu Lan had completely lost his patience.

At a distance of a hundred paces from Mo Xuan, the Hongmeng Sword flickered with a chilling light.

Gu Lan had never encountered such a difficult opponent.

After Mo Xuan had dragged things on for so long, Gu Lan was starting to get truly frustrated.

"You can't kill him. Stop wasting your energy."

Suddenly, a voice came from Mo Xuan's mouth. Gu Lan immediately looked up in shock.

The voice was indeed coming from Mo Xuan, but he felt the presence of another.

"Who are you?"

Gu Lan's voice wasn't loud, but his killing intent had involuntarily surfaced.

He could feel that the Wizard Clan's actions were tied to someone else behind the scenes.

"I am Wizard God!"

When these words were spoken, Gu Lan's heart immediately sank.

He hadn't expected that the gods were now paying attention to him.

"A bunch of old fools, and you dare to call yourselves gods? If you have the guts, come out and fight me yourself!"

Gu Lan had intended to provoke the hidden figure with sarcastic words, but it seemed to have no effect.

Mo Xuan only smiled coldly.

"Don't worry, we will meet one day, but not now."

"But I'm curious about your strength. Let me show you this trick."

At this moment, the one controlling Mo Xuan's body was no longer Mo Xuan himself, but the Wizard God from miles away.

As the voice finished, a strange blood light began to emanate from Mo Xuan's body.

True energy continuously flowed into the blood blade in his hand, and behind him, a blood figure gradually formed.

Seeing the power emanating from Mo Xuan, Gu Lan furrowed his brow.

Mo Xuan had already been difficult enough to deal with, and now this new development was complicating things even more.

But having reached this point, Gu Lan could not retreat.

His expression turned vicious, and his energy surged.

"Not weak, but that's all."

The Hongmeng Sword's cold light flickered, and the Great Path energy gathered within him.

Seeing Gu Lan's Great Path energy, a trace of greed flashed in Mo Xuan's eyes.

But that trace of greed vanished in an instant.

Gu Lan did not see it, and with his Hongmeng Sword, he struck out.

As Gu Lan charged forward, Mo Xuan gripped his blood blade and met him.

This power was not ordinary, and it caused the entire sky to dim.

This time, Mo Xuan did not retreat a step but directly engaged in a deadlock with Gu Lan in mid-air.

...

After several breaths, the power in the sky reached its peak.

With a loud bang, both Gu Lan and Mo Xuan were pushed back by a hundred paces.

Though they were unharmed, Gu Lan's internal energy had been greatly depleted.

Mo Xuan sneered coldly, and his blood energy dissipated.

"Not bad, your power is quite strong."

"I'm looking forward to fighting you head-on."

As his words fell, the strange energy around Mo Xuan vanished.

Mo Xuan didn't know what had happened, but seeing Gu Lan's appearance, it was clear that they had gone through an intense battle.

Mo Xuan instinctively wanted to strike, but as soon as he took a step forward, he felt a sharp pain in his body.

From the shadows, Chi Yang watched all this with a meaningful smile.

"Strike!"

He couldn't wait any longer, nor did he want to waste time here.

His goal today was simple: kill Gu Lan.

With a single command, Chi Yang led the hundred strongmen of the Lava Clan into action.

They drew their weapons and their energy ignited, lighting up the sky with fire.

The sudden burst of power stunned both Gu Lan and Mo Xuan.

Their faces darkened, and they immediately turned to retreat.

But there was no escape. They were instantly blocked in their tracks.

The Lava Clan's warriors stood expressionless, their blades trembling in their hands.
