The noise gradually came to a halt as the three Silver Swords were cut in half. The thousands of swords in the valley, without a leader, instantly gave up their resistance, just like in the first valley, the black iron swords pushed a piece of ore towards Yang Kai to show their submission.
Perhaps this was the law of this World Fruit's world. As long as one could kill the enemy’s leader, they could take over his forces.
When they had first arrived, they had brought hundreds of miscellaneous forces with them, and after the battle, they had gained ten times the number of troops. It could be said that they had reaped a huge harvest, and the mineral deposits in this mountain valley were also incomparable to the previous place. The amount of minerals they had harvested was countless, many of which were White Silver Ores. If Yang Kai and Lang Qingshan could swallow them, it would be of great benefit to them.
In this battle, the hundreds of swords Yang Kai had brought with him had suffered heavy losses, and it could be said that they had been completely wiped out. The thousands of swords in the valley had also been damaged.
Letting Lang Qingshan cut apart these broken swords was not only to strengthen his strength, but also to save him some burdens.
For the next few days, the two of them stayed in this mountain valley to absorb the energy from the ores. Ordinary ores were of little use to them, and the two of them had only swallowed White Silver ores. All the ores below Silver Grade were given to them, greatly increasing the strength of many Black Iron Swords.
Seven days later, Lang Qingshan successfully cultivated his Sword Light and improved his strength.
During this time, Yang Kai had also sent out more than a dozen teams to scout for information. Now, if he and Lang Qingshan wanted to continue growing, they could only seek out more Silver Swords to kill, but they weren’t sure where the Silver Swords were in this World Fruit's world, so they could only slowly investigate.
One team after another returned, bringing Yang Kai good news.
Two days later, the army set out, thousands of swords under the leadership of Yang Kai and Lang Qingshan.
In less than three days, they arrived at a Stronghold guarded by a Silver Sword. This Stronghold was similar to the one Yang Kai had first destroyed, with only a single Silver Sword and several hundred swords under its command. How could they resist Yang Kai’s army?
With just a single charge, the thousands of swords tore apart the enemy’s lineup. Yang Kai and Lang Qingshan took this opportunity to attack. The Silver Sword didn’t even have a chance to cultivate its Sword Light yet and was only able to withstand two exchanges before it was shattered by Yang Kai.
The leader had died, and the remaining swords had all surrender.
Without stopping, Yang Kai led his Sword Army to the next stronghold with the Silver Sword.
One Stronghold after another was swept up, some of which were crushed while others were engaged in bitter battles. The number of troops under his command increased from several thousand to several tens of thousands, then to a hundred thousand, becoming as large as a snowball.
It wasn’t just in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality. Many Silver Swords had appeared under Yang Kai’s command. These Silver Swords were originally Black Iron Swords, but after Yang Kai and Lang Qingshan fought for a long time and killed countless opponents, they were able to devour the strength of their opponents and advance.
Among the hundred thousand strong army, besides Yang Kai and Lang Qingshan, there were more than fifty Silver Swords and thousands of Black Iron Swords.
With Yang Kai’s experience in leading troops into battle, he had divided these hundred thousand strong armies into more than fifty small teams, each of which was led by a Silver Sword. On the battlefield, even if the number of enemies was greater than his own, he could still win!
On top of a tall mountain, the army was being reorganized.
Yang Kai stood at the peak of the mountain, his entire body glowing with a deep luster, faintly showing signs of his next breakthrough, Lang Qingshan standing behind him.
“Qing Shan, how long have we been here?” Yang Kai suddenly asked.
Lang Qingshan replied without hesitation, “Reporting to Sir, there are still four days until half a year.”
“Half a year!” Yang Kai snorted.
When he was in the world of bubbles, he had been delayed for about a month. He had thought he had spent enough time, but now that he had entered this world of swords, he had been delayed for half a year.
Although the time in this world was different from the outside world, it was still too long.
Over the past six months, although Yang Kai and Lang Qingshan had benefited greatly and were constantly growing, they still had no idea how to unravel the mysteries of this world.
Yang Kai had thought that as long as he continued fighting, he would be able to see hope, but now he was still confused.
This was somewhat worrisome. If one didn’t know how to unravel the mysteries of this world, they wouldn’t have a goal, and if they didn’t have a goal, all of their efforts would be for naught.
No wonder Xu Zhen had said before that the World Fruit was dangerous. If they couldn’t break through it, it was highly likely they would be trapped inside for the rest of their lives. He and Lang Qingshan were now trapped in this world, so what if they had a hundred thousand troops under them?
What made Yang Kai even more depressed was that he had clearly reached the end of the Silver Sword rank, but even if he killed another sword, it would not increase his strength, and he was still unable to advance to the next stage.
Not only him, but Lang Qingshan was the same! Although Yang Kai had grown up before Lang Qingshan, in the past half a year, the army had eradicated one stronghold after another, and the number of Silver Swords who had died under Lang Qingshan’s hands was countless. After devouring so much energy, Lang Qingshan had also reached a bottleneck.
Yang Kai even wondered if there was a next stage.
Perhaps in this world of swords, the Silver Sword was the highest grade, but if so, how could he escape from this world?
He had asked the Silver Swords under his command, but unfortunately, none of them knew anything about them. These Silver Swords had been upgraded step by step from the Black Iron Sword, so the information they had was limited!
At this moment, a silver sword flew up to the peak of the mountain and an excited look appeared on his face, “Chief, we’ve discovered an enemy.”
Yang Kai turned to look at it and asked casually, “How many?”
“About ten thousand!” The silver sword came to Yang Kai’s side and pointed down the mountain, “In about an hour, they will pass by below.”
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before saying, “Qingshan, you go handle this.”
Although ten thousand was not a small number, in front of his hundred thousand strong army, it was still not enough. In this kind of situation, there was no need for him to take action. In any case, no matter how many he killed, it would not benefit him, so he might as well save his strength.
Lang Qingshan received his orders and left. Yang Kai looked up at the sky with a profound gaze.
The information he obtained wasn’t wrong. After an hour, Yang Kai saw an army of swords.
Strangely enough, in this strange world, the swords that had strongholds were usually located in a remote corner and wouldn’t move easily unless the ores in their strongholds had been mined.
This army of ten thousand swords should be searching for a new base.
However, after taking a quick glance, Yang Kai suddenly frowned slightly, because the number of Silver Swords in this group… seemed to be quite high.
In an army of ten thousand swords, it would normally be a miracle if there were six or seven Silver Swords, but Yang Kai could tell that there were at least thirty or forty of them.
Such a ratio was truly terrifying. One had to know that Yang Kai’s hundred thousand strong army only had fifty or so Silver Swords.
However, even so, Yang Kai wasn’t too worried. Over the past half year, he had participated in countless battles between his armies, large and small, with a hundred thousand of them fighting each other several times, so it shouldn’t be a problem for him to take them down.
To be safe, Yang Kai had sent a Silver Sword to Lang Qingshan to keep him on guard.
A moment later, the battle began!
As such, the information they obtained was quite timely, and the hundred thousand strong army had already set up an ambush nearby. After the ten thousand strong army entered the ambush, a torrent of more than fifty swords, led by those silver swords, shot out from all directions and surged in the center."
As soon as the battle began, it was a fierce White Blade Battle. The Silver Sword’s sword light flashed and the Black Iron Sword and Bronze Sword fell like straws, unable to fight back.
Every moment, a long sword would be shattered, and pure energy would flow out from the sword to nourish and strengthen its killer.
Yang Kai looked down at the crowd for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.
Although the Ten Thousand Swords Army were not weak, they were still at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers. It was impossible for them to be their opponents, so it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.
Half an hour later, only thirty percent of the Ten Thousand Swords Army remained, constantly shrinking their defensive perimeter and struggling to resist.
Lang Qingshan presided over the army, commanding the troops and coordinating the overall situation, giving him the demeanor of a great general.
After another incense stick’s worth of time, less than ten percent of the Ten Thousand Swords Army forces were left, and the defensive perimeter once again shrank.
Lang Qingshan naturally spared no effort in deploying his forces to attack madly, hoping to take them down in one fell swoop.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly spread out from the center of the defensive circle. This golden light was initially weak, but in the blink of an eye it became extremely dazzling.
Yang Kai’s attention was immediately drawn to this scene, and when he looked down, he saw a golden halo spread out from the center of the defensive circle and spread out wildly, instantly covering an area of three thousand meters.
Yang Kai’s expression froze!
He saw a golden Gold Sword slowly rise up from the enemy ranks, the sword rippling outwards.
As the ripples spread out, all of the swords that had been covered stopped fighting. On the surface of the swords, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Gold Sword, all of them worshiping it as if they were looking at their king!
Yang Kai also stared fixedly at the Gold Sword. Even though he was just a sword nwo, he could still feel his heart pounding.
Gold Sword!
This world actually has a Gold Sword!
This was something he had never encountered before, and up until now, the strongest he had encountered was only the Silver Sword. He had also cultivated to the peak of the Silver Sword and was unable to advance any further, so he had never expected to see a Gold Sword.
This Gold Sword was definitely something that surpassed the Silver Sword.
Yang Kai suddenly felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the bright moon. Before, he had been lost and didn’t know where his future lay, but after seeing this Gold Sword, he suddenly had a goal.
Before he could rejoice, a sudden change occurred on the battlefield!
All the swords which had been covered by the Gold Sword, whether friend or foe, suddenly turned around and attacked Yang Kai’s army!
