My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Gu Simu's aura was incredibly powerful. She swung the Hammer of Evergreen Pine in her hand, and with it came a thunderous roar.

Boom... Boom...

Gu Simu's presence was overwhelming, and even the Blood God couldn't help but frown. Although he wasn't afraid, the strength she displayed still made him somewhat cautious. This was mainly because he had just fought with Gu Lan and had expended some of his energy.

While the Blood God hesitated, Gu Simu was already using the same technique she had just employed. The Hammer of Evergreen Pine descended from the sky, instantly obliterating the space around them. The power was undeniably strong, yet Gu Simu's aura showed no signs of fading.

Instead of meeting the attack head-on, the Blood God chose to retreat, his brow furrowed as he looked at the destroyed space. Gu Simu's strength was only slightly weaker than Gu Lan's. More importantly, he sensed a powerful Bumie aura within her.

"Interesting... Since you've come, then I'll take what's yours too!"

At first, the Blood God had only intended to absorb Gu Lan's power, but now, he had no intention of holding back.

Seeing the Blood God once again channel his blood qi, Gu Lan immediately became alarmed. If the Blood God had been unable to gain the upper hand against him, there was no way he would be able to take on Gu Simu. They were on entirely different levels, and he feared that Gu Simu might not be able to handle this situation.

Before Gu Lan could speak, however, Gu Simu had already charged forward. Her aura surged, her strength now several times greater than before.

...

At first, Gu Simu's power had been somewhat stable, but gradually, a layer of blood qi began to envelop her. Seeing this, Gu Lan's face grew grim.

No wonder Gu Simu could unleash such a powerful force in such a short time. She had fully mastered the Blood Demon Kung Fu. The power of the Blood Demon Kung Fu was indeed extraordinary, but it came with risks. If used recklessly, it could cause her to lose control of her consciousness at any moment.

As the blood qi around Gu Simu grew stronger, Gu Lan's anxiety deepened. The Blood God's expression darkened as well.

"No wonder you dare to challenge me here. You've mastered my clan's unique cultivation technique."

As the Blood God of the Blood Clan, he was well aware of their cultivation methods.

"What do you know about our clan's techniques?" Gu Simu suddenly raised her head, her eyes turning a deep red, her hostility apparent.

Seeing this, Gu Lan's heart sank.

Not good!

He couldn't allow this situation to escalate further; something unexpected might happen. He could sacrifice his own life, but he couldn't gamble with Gu Simu's safety.

Gu Simu, wielding the Hammer of Evergreen Pine, began swinging it wildly. The space around them shattered, and fierce winds whipped up. Even the Blood God couldn't get close under this overwhelming force.

Gu Lan activated his Great Path aura, and with a swift movement, he appeared by Gu Simu's side. Not only did he have to endure the ferocious energy, but he also had to find a way to suppress Gu Simu's aura.

He raised his hand, releasing streams of golden light that enveloped Gu Simu. Under this power, the blood qi in her eyes began to dissipate. However, her movements with the Hammer of Evergreen Pine didn't stop, and Gu Lan was increasingly puzzled.

Suddenly, Gu Simu spoke.

"Father, I won't be affected."

Although Gu Lan didn't understand why this was happening, he realized that if things continued as they were, it would lead to disaster. Gu Simu could maintain her advantage for now, but if the Blood God got the upper hand, she would die.

"You—"

Before Gu Lan could finish his sentence, the Blood God had already appeared behind them.

"This is no place for old acquaintances to chat," the Blood God sneered, and dozens of blood-red beams of light shot towards them.

Gu Lan raised his Hongmeng Sword and struck. Although his energy had been significantly depleted, he still had enough power to respond to this attack.

The sound of tearing filled the air as the sword shadows near him were shattered. However, he couldn't keep up this battle forever—he needed to come up with a solution.

Under the Great Path aura's suppression, Gu Simu's inner restlessness began to subside, though the killing intent in her eyes remained, showing no signs of dissipating.

"Why don't we try to wear him down together?" Gu Lan's face grew solemn, but Gu Simu's sudden suggestion snapped him to attention.

This was indeed a good idea. It was far better than letting the two of them remain trapped in this situation.

"I'll hold him off. Father, find the right moment to strike."

Gu Lan was about to say something, but Gu Simu was already one step ahead. Without giving him time to respond, she gathered her true qi and swung the Hammer of Evergreen Pine toward the Blood God.

Although her aura had weakened somewhat, the power of the Hammer of Evergreen Pine had only increased.

Seeing the strength emanating from Gu Simu, the Blood God sneered disdainfully. From the beginning, he hadn't taken Gu Simu seriously.

"Come on, I promise I'll turn you into my nourishment."

The Blood God gathered his blood qi and swung his hand. Dense blood energy surged from all directions.

By all rights, this attack should have given him the upper hand. But he underestimated Gu Lan, who stood to the side.

As the attack reached them, a sword beam descended from the clouds.

Boom!

A thunderous roar shook the heavens, and the Blood God's blood qi was instantly shattered. Gu Lan unleashed his Great Path qi without holding back.

Not only that, but even the Land of Ruin's soul energy was summoned by Gu Lan, and with a single strike of his sword toward the sky, the entire cloudscape was set alight with fire.

"Feel the flames of hell!" Gu Lan bellowed, his voice thundering.

The flames swept down from the heavens.

At the same time, Gu Simu swung the Hammer of Evergreen Pine, and it appeared in the air, transforming into a massive mountain-sized weapon.

Under the combined might of Gu Lan and Gu Simu's attacks, the surrounding space couldn't withstand the pressure. Even the Blood God began to feel the danger of this overwhelming power.

His face turned grim as he swiftly retreated.

This power was too overwhelming; he wasn't sure he could withstand it.

Boom... Boom...

The force continued for a long time, and when the energy finally dispersed, everything fell into an endless abyss of darkness.

The Blood Clan's secret place was destroyed, and Gu Lan stood in the void, his expression cold and his body radiating dazzling golden light.

Gu Simu didn't hesitate and immediately appeared beside Gu Lan.

"Father, your power…"

Before Gu Simu could finish, her face showed admiration and envy. Gu Lan noticed this and looked down. The Great Path qi within him had grown.

Gu Lan was shocked. After all this time, he had been continuously depleting his strength, yet this was unexpected.

But this situation didn't last long. There was no time to think about it. The immediate priority was to resolve the final issue.

When Gu Lan looked for the Blood God's presence again, he realized the enemy was already gone.

Gu Lan stood there, bewildered, his face full of confusion.

"Did that guy manage to escape?"

It was strange—given the Blood God's personality, it didn't seem like something he would do. But Gu Lan didn't dwell on it.

Since the Blood God was no longer there, there was no need to be overly concerned.

Some things weren't worth pondering, and it was better to leave this place.

Suppressing his aura, Gu Lan turned and smiled faintly.

"Thank you, little girl."

Gu Simu smiled back. "Father, you're too welcome. It was nothing."
