My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Gu Lan was very surprised by the appearance of this group at this moment. It was certainly unexpected. He hadn't thought it would happen this way.

His expression grew somber as he gazed toward the heavens. At that instant, Chi Yang, holding a golden spear, descended from the clouds with a proud smile on his face. His gaze was firmly locked on Gu Lan, unwilling to look away.

"Gu Lan, didn't expect to see you so soon again. I wonder if you like what I've prepared for you?" Chi Yang's voice held a smug tone.

"Don't get too cocky; you'll pay the price for it," Gu Lan's voice was cold, though his strength had certainly been depleted, it didn't make him feel threatened by the Lava Clan warriors.

Gu Lan tightly gripped his Hongmeng Sword, and Chi Yang, losing interest in small talk, commanded, "What are you waiting for? Kill him!"

Chi Yang had come here with one goal in mind—to take the lives of both Gu Lan and Mo Xuan. He didn't care how they died, as long as he achieved the result.

Mo Xuan, after hearing the command, immediately ordered Lava Clan's hundred-strong warriors to charge. Sword lights shot out in every direction, all aimed at Gu Lan.

Not only did Gu Lan encounter trouble, but Mo Xuan couldn't escape either. Although Mo Xuan had planned to take the chance to escape, the Lava Clan warriors gave him no opportunity. Mo Xuan, gripping his blood blade, retreated cautiously.

"If you don't want to die, get out of my way!" Mo Xuan shouted as his blood blade was released into the air, infusing his true qi and transforming it into thousands of blood-red lights.

Mo Xuan's strike was quick, not giving the Lava Clan warriors a chance to strike first. Just as their defense began, Mo Xuan turned and fled, swiftly covering a hundred feet in an instant.

Chi Yang, however, stood still, a cold smile still on his face.

"You really think you can escape?" Chi Yang sneered, having no intention of letting Mo Xuan get away. The warriors he had arranged were far more than what was visible.

Just when Mo Xuan thought he had successfully escaped, a new wave of dozens of figures appeared. They didn't hide their presence, and thousands of chilling lights struck Mo Xuan in all directions.

Mo Xuan, unable to withstand such an onslaught, was immediately covered in wounds. His face contorted in pain as he staggered back.

Chi Yang walked forward, a grin spreading across his face. "Do you really think I'll let you live?"

"I've built a great name for myself, and now I've fallen to your hands. Today, you'll pay the price. Even if I die, I'll take you with me!"

Mo Xuan's eyes burned with anger as he resolved himself, his voice deadly. "You think you can pull me down with you? Not a chance!"

"Kill him!" Chi Yang shouted again, stepping forward with his golden spear raised.

In a flash, thousands of spear shadows shot out toward Mo Xuan. Despite the immense strength in Mo Xuan's blood blade, he was unable to gain an advantage against Chi Yang and the Lava Clan warriors.

After hundreds of exchanges, Mo Xuan's blood light faded completely. His strength was all but gone, and he was severely weakened. Chi Yang's attack was relentless.

Just as Chi Yang was about to strike the fatal blow, a blood light descended from the heavens with an earth-shattering boom, sending Chi Yang flying hundreds of feet back.

The shockwave made Chi Yang's expression darken. His spear trembled in his hand, and cracks appeared all over his body. He hadn't expected to be injured.

When his cold gaze scanned forward, Mo Xuan had already vanished without a trace. There was no sign of his presence.

Chi Yang's rage intensified. "Damn it, he managed to escape!"

It was only an inch away from killing Mo Xuan, yet this sudden power stopped him. As soon as it appeared, Gu Lan had sensed it. He was certain it was the Wizard God who had intervened.

Gu Lan, however, didn't have time to think about it. His immediate focus was on dealing with the current problem. The Lava Clan warriors kept coming, and although he had already slain dozens of them, more kept appearing. At this rate, he would be exhausted before long.

His gaze hardened, and a murderous intent surged from his eyes.

"You idiots don't know when to quit. If you dare step forward, I promise you'll die here," Gu Lan threatened, his voice icy.

Hongmeng Sword trembled in his hand, and with a swift motion, sword lights filled the sky, covering the heavens. Chi Yang, though furious, didn't hesitate. His eyes were filled with rage as he glared at Gu Lan.

His long spear in hand, Chi Yang stepped forward, and the Lava Clan warriors parted to make way for him.

With a powerful stomp, Chi Yang released all his energy without holding back. "You let him escape, but I won't let you go. Today, you die!"

Gu Lan sneered coldly. "Is that so? Let's see if you can handle it."

Although Gu Lan admitted that he had expended considerable energy, he was not going to be defeated by these useless fools.

"You're nothing but ants. You dare to challenge me?" Gu Lan's voice was full of disdain. With a single motion, he pressed down, and sword shadows tore through the sky.

The air vibrated with the force of the strike, but Chi Yang wasn't caught off guard. He had prepared for this. Just as the sword light was about to descend, Chi Yang raised his hand, and thousands of golden threads shot out from his sleeve.

The power gathered in the sky, forming a massive net that absorbed the descending sword light entirely.

Gu Lan was stunned by the power of the treasure Chi Yang wielded, but before he could process it further, Chi Yang smiled smugly, holding his ground. "If this is all the power you've got, then you'll die today."

Gu Lan's frustration was palpable as he stared at Chi Yang, ready to strike again. But just then, a figure raced from the distance.

The Hammer of Evergreen Pine descended from the heavens.

"Do you think these weaklings can handle it? My father will handle you all. I'll deal with you myself," came the icy voice of Gu Simu.

The sudden appearance of Gu Simu caught the Lava Clan warriors off guard. They had prepared for everything, but not for this unexpected intervention.

As the Hammer of Evergreen Pine descended, its formidable might forced the Lava Clan warriors to retreat. Their faces twisted in shock as they struggled to steady themselves.

Descending from the clouds, Gu Simu gripped the Hammer of Evergreen Pine with cold fury in her eyes.

Gu Lan, seeing her sudden appearance, was also quite surprised. "This isn't a place for you…"
