This is a hard battle. On the plains, the two armies charged forward, and the battlefield became a meat grinder. The swords shattered one after another, and the light dimmed. On the battlefield, hundreds of thousands of swords were engaged in a fierce battle!
On one side was Yang Kai’s army, and on the other was the Gold Sword's.
Previously, Yang Kai had occupied six strongholds and commanded an army of three hundred thousand. It had taken him four months to find a piece of gold ore, and after absorbing the energy from it, he had successfully broken through to the Gold Sword rank.
This kind of efficiency was too low. If he wanted to find the next gold ore, he didn’t know how long he would have to wait. If Yang Kai wanted to continue improving himself, it was naturally better to seek out other Gold Sword.
In this world of swords, there weren’t many Gold Sword, so many scout teams were sent out and it took them a month to find one.
What was there to hesitate about? Yang Kai immediately gathered his troops and began fighting.
Hundreds of thousands of swords clashed against each other in a heated battle. One after another, the swords were shattered, and more swords received enough energy to advance to a higher level.
However, the true deciding point was not them, but the battlefield high up in the sky.
High up in the sky, the two Gold Swords flew back and forth, their swords dancing across the nine heavens. Golden Sword Qi slashed through the void as Sword Qi flew about. The speed of these two swords was extremely fast, one of them was brighter while the other was slightly darker.
On the battlefield, Lang Qingshan raised his head and stared at the slightly darker Gold Sword. This was the Gold Sword avatar of Yang Kai. He had just broken through not long ago, so naturally, he couldn’t compare to the other old Gold Sword. Whether it was the sturdiness of the sword, the sharpness of the blade, or the power of the sword light, they were all slightly inferior to his opponent.
However, he now had the qualifications to compete with the Gold Sword!
It was no longer like before, where he was completely helpless against the Gold Sword.
As long as he had this qualification, he would have a great chance of winning, which was also why he dared to attack the army led by the Gold Sword.
Yang Kai was well aware of his own shortcomings, so he had decided to fight with his life on the line. The Gold Sword probably didn’t expect Yang Kai to be so fierce, so even if it had a strong foundation, it was still beaten by Yang Kai.
However, in the end, he had the advantage in terms of capital. After stabilizing his position, he continued to defend and counterattack, causing Yang Kai to constantly suffer losses.
Half a day later, Yang Kai’s sword was already riddled with holes. Although his opponent wasn’t much better off, his situation was obviously better than Yang Kai’s. Every time Yang Kai attacked, he would deal 800 damage while the opponent deal 1000 damage to him.
If this continued, he would definitely die here, but even though he knew this, he had no intention of changing his mind and continued to act as he pleased.
After another two hours, the Gold Sword actually turned its blade and rushed down. It still had the strength to fight and was in a better condition than Yang Kai, but it had also suffered some damage. In order to heal its injuries, the best way to do so was to kill the swords on the battlefield and devour their power.
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up as he shouted, “Qingshan!”
He had been waiting for this opportunity, and now it had finally come.
After nearly a year of fighting, Yang Kai discovered that these swords were all cowards who feared death. Once they were injured to a certain extent, they would prioritize restoring their bodies. Only when they were forced into a corner would they fight to the death.
The Gold Sword’s actions indicated that its damage had reached a certain level.
In the blink of an eye, the Gold Sword was already close to the battlefield. With a twist of its blade, a golden sword Qi slashed towards the dense sword formation, covering a large area, not differentiating between friend and foe.
This Golden Sword Qi was extremely sharp and could not be blocked by those under the Gold Sword rank.
“Don’t even think about it!” Lang Qingshan shouted angrily. On the surface of his sword, his face was cold and resolute, and the thirty or so Silver Swords behind him followed his lead.
This was a team specially built to deal with this kind of situation. Every Silver Sword in the team had been cultivated to the peak, and as long as they had the Gold Liquid, they could advance.
Silver Sword Qi slashed out from these silver swords, transforming into more than thirty rays of light that met the golden Sword Qi head on.
Boom boom boom…
Golden and silver collided, the latter disintegrating while the former dimmed slightly.
Although the Silver Sword Qi couldn’t compare to the Golden Sword Qi, with more than thirty of them being released at once, it was still able to weaken its power.
Chi chi chi chi…
Lang Qingshan’s Silver Sword Squad slashed again!
After three consecutive slashes, nearly a hundred Silver Sword Qi were shattered by the Golden Sword Qi, but more than half of the Golden Sword Qi’s power had been worn away and its luster was much dimmer than before.
There was no time to continue slashing out Sword Qi, so Lang Qingshan didn’t hesitate to lead the Silver Sword behind him to scatter, not daring to meet this attack head-on.
Even though most of the Golden Sword Qi’s power had been whittled away, it was still not something these Silver Swords could resist. Once they were hit, they would be smashed to pieces.
Just as the Golden Sword Qi was about to slash into the swarm of swords, another Golden Sword Qi appeared out of thin air and slashed towards it. This Golden Sword Qi then directly struck the Sword Qi in front of it, causing it to collapse and crash into the swarm of swords.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of swords shattered and thousands of rays of light flew out and rushed into Yang Kai’s body, immediately repairing his injuries.
The Golden Sword Qi that followed was naturally formed by him, shattering the enemy’s Sword Qi and preventing it from attacking while also repairing his body.
Yang Kai’s strength immediately surpassed the Gold Sword!
Without any hesitation, he attacked again!
On the surface of the Gold Sword, a look of shock and anger appeared on his face. He felt that his opponent this time was extremely sinister and cunning, even coming up with such a sinister plan.
There was no time for him to curse, so he could only respond to Yang Kai’s bombardment. However, although Yang Kai had received some nourishment, his sword was still damaged, so the power he could display was not as strong as it was at its peak.
For the next few hours, this Gold Sword repeatedly tried to repair itself, but on the battlefield, Lang Qingshan’s Silver Sword Squad did nothing but watch its movements. Wherever it went, the Silver Sword Squad would follow. Once they noticed that it was showing signs of repairing itself, they would immediately madly block its Golden Sword Qi to wear it down, allowing Yang Kai to destroy it.
After attacking seven or eight times in a row, this Gold Sword had actually failed!
After a full day and night, the Gold Sword was no longer able to maintain its flying speed. The body of the Gold Sword swayed in mid-air and the Golden Sword Qi was unable to slash out.
It was like an arrow at the end of its flight, its strength completely exhausted.
This time, it was Yang Kai’s turn to act, unperturbed and calmly dealing with it.
Finally, at a certain point, the last of the Gold Sword’s strength was drained, and it fell from the sky and stabbed into the ground. On the surface of the Gold Sword, its face was haggard, and its expression was ashen.
Yang Kai slowly landed in front of it and slashed down.
The Gold Sword closed its eyes and waited for death.
However, when Yang Kai’s sword was three inches away from it, he suddenly stopped and grinned, shouting, “Qingshan!”
Lang Qingshan immediately rushed over and respectfully said, “Your humble subordinate is here!”
“Kill it!” Yang Kai motioned, “I just tried, it really has no strength left.”
Lang Qingshan was stunned for a moment before replying, “This humble subordinate is ashamed!”
He also knew that if he were to cut this Gold Sword, he would most likely be promoted to a Gold Sword, but this was the result of two days of hard work by Yang Kai, so how could he take it?
Yang Kai said, “If you break through, with the strength of the two of us, if we were to encounter the Gold Sword again, we wouldn’t have to fight such a bitter battle. If I kill it, I’ll only be able to increase my strength a little, the benefits won’t be great! Quickly attack, don’t give it a chance to recover.”
Hearing Yang Kai’s words, Lang Qingshan no longer hesitated and responded, raising his sword and slashing towards the Gold Sword.
With a clank, Lang Qingshan’s body shook, but the Gold Sword remained undamaged. After all, the difference between the two was too great. Although the Gold Sword in front of him had run out of strength, its body was still extremely sturdy.
Lang Qingshan didn’t believe this and aimed a few more times, but all of them failed.
On the surface of the Gold Sword, a look of ridicule appeared on its face.
Seeing this, Yang Kai’s sword slowly floated up to the golden sword and pointed its tip towards a certain spot, releasing a golden sword light.
With a light slash, a huge gap appeared on its sword, almost cutting it in half.
Lang Qingshan understood this and immediately attacked the gap. After an incense stick’s worth of time, the Gold Sword was cut in half.
A golden light flowed out from the Gold Sword and rushed towards Lang Qingshan, transforming into a golden mist that emitted a dazzling divine light that completely enveloped him.
After the golden light dissipated, the one standing in front of Yang Kai was no longer a Silver Sword, but a Gold Sword just like him. Golden light swirled around the sword’s body, making it look extremely majestic.
“Many thanks, Sir!” Lang Qingshan was extremely grateful as he experienced the increase in strength, his face filled with joy.
If he wanted to be promoted to the Gold Sword rank, he would have to either swallow the Gold Liquid from the Gold Ore or kill a Gold Sword and devour its power like before. Yang Kai used the former method while Lang Qingshan used the latter.
Turning around, Yang Kai looked down at the battlefield.
As soon as the Gold Sword died, the noise on the battlefield immediately ceased, and the army under its command also gave up on resisting, all of them turning their eyes towards Yang Kai with looks of worship.
This had always been the case in this world. As long as he could kill the enemy’s leader, he would be able to smoothly take over the forces under him without encountering any obstacles.
Yang Kai himself had more than three hundred thousand soldiers and the Gold Sword has more than four hundred thousand, a total of seven hundred thousand. After fighting for two days and two nights, only about half of them had survived.
Although their numbers had decreased greatly, their strength had not decreased in the slightest. Among the more than three hundred thousand strong army, there were countless Silver and Black Iron Swords.
In such a battlefield, as long as one didn’t get beaten to a pulp, those who survived could obtain great growth!
