220: Chapter 220 Promotion to Major General

"Shatter for me!"

Watching the crimson Dragon rapidly approaching, a fierce glint flashed in Yang Juncheng's eyes. He activated Ten Thousand Times Amplification, clenched his right hand into a fist, and with terrifying might, slammed it heavily onto the head of the hundred-foot-long crimson Dragon.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the hundred-foot-long crimson Dragon was instantly shattered, turning into red light that filled the sky and vanished into nothingness.

The High Grade Dao Artifact in the hands of the Great Shang Empire Legion Commander also broke into pieces, turning into countless fragments that splattered in all directions and scattered onto the ground.

"Kill!"

At this moment, Yang Juncheng roared and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight towards the Great Shang Empire Legion Commander. His right fist, carrying terrifying might, struck directly at the Great Shang Empire Legion Commander's body.

Facing Yang Juncheng's fist attack, that Great Shang Empire Legion Commander did not dare to take it head-on. He hurriedly stirred the power of the world within his body and summoned a Medium Grade defensive Dao Artifact shield, erecting it in front of him in an attempt to block Yang Juncheng's fist.

Boom!

Accompanied by a violent roar, Yang Juncheng's fist struck the Medium Grade defensive Dao Artifact shield. The terrifying might instantly shattered the shield and, with undiminished momentum, struck the Great Shang Empire Legion Commander's body, instantly turning him into a mist of blood.

Immediately after, the power of the world within Yang Juncheng surged wildly, transforming into sharp sword lights that slashed fiercely into the blood mist, frantically consuming the vitality within it.

In a matter of moments, the vitality within the blood mist was exhausted, turning into ashes that drifted away with the wind.

Thus, that Great Shang Empire Legion Commander completely perished, becoming dust in history.

"The Legion Commander is dead?"

"The Legion Commander was actually killed by a Cave Heaven Realm Cultivator from the Great Zhou Empire? This is too shocking!"

"What the f*ck! The Legion Commander is a Void Immortal Realm powerhouse, how could he be killed by a Cave Heaven Realm Cultivator!"

"Who is that person? How is he so fierce, easily killing the Legion Commander!"

"……"

The officers and soldiers of the Great Shang Empire, seeing their own Legion Commander easily killed by Yang Juncheng, all had their expressions change drastically. They couldn't help but exclaim loudly, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

While the Great Shang Empire's troops were in shock and disbelief, the Great Zhou Empire's troops let out excited cheers, their morale greatly boosted.

The Great Zhou Empire Legion Commander, who was stationed in the rear, revealed a look of wild joy. With a wave of his hand, he loudly ordered: "All troops, attack!"

Immediately after, the Great Zhou Empire's legion set off. Led by officers at all levels, they piloted their warships and charged towards the Great Shang Empire's legion.

Soon, the Great Zhou Empire's legion clashed with the Great Shang Empire's legion, unfolding a fierce confrontation in the vast expanse.

However, the Great Zhou Empire's legion was high-spirited and possessed fierce combat power. From the very beginning of the battle, they held the absolute upper hand, suppressing the Great Shang Empire's legion.

Watching the two armies engaged in fierce battle, Yang Juncheng hesitated slightly before turning into a streak of light and charging into the battlefield, easily destroying one Great Shang Empire warship after another.

In a matter of moments, Yang Juncheng continuously destroyed over a hundred Great Shang Empire warships, directly causing the Great Shang Empire's legion to collapse and flee, only to be chased and killed by the Great Zhou Empire's legion.

Seeing this, Yang Juncheng did not continue to attack. Instead, he ceased his assault and left the task of pursuing the Great Shang Empire's legion to the other officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Empire's legion.

Not long after, the collapsing and fleeing Great Shang Empire legion was completely annihilated. Most of the Great Shang Empire soldiers were killed, while a small portion knelt on the ground to surrender, becoming prisoners of the Great Zhou Empire's legion.

With the Great Zhou Empire achieving a glorious victory, Yang Juncheng was brought to the legion flagship's command room by the adjutant of the Great Zhou Empire's Legion Commander.

"Yang Juncheng, this is the commander of our Great Zhou Empire's 1st Legion, and also our Great Zhou Empire's Prince of Southern Suppression, Zhao Haiyu!"

After arriving at the flagship's command room, the adjutant introduced him to Yang Juncheng in a low voice.

"First Brigade, 10th Battalion Captain Yang Juncheng, greets the Prince!"

As soon as the adjutant finished speaking, Yang Juncheng greeted Zhao Haiyu.

"Yang Juncheng, this time we were able to completely annihilate the Great Shang Empire's legion, and your contribution was the greatest. I will report your merits to the Empire's Military Department and His Majesty the Emperor!"

"I believe that before long, the Empire's Military Department and His Majesty the Emperor will confer upon you the title of Duke of the Empire and appoint you as a Lieutenant General of the Empire, commanding a division!"

"Before the Empire's Military Department and His Majesty the Emperor confer titles and appointments upon you, I, in my capacity as 1st Legion Commander, appoint you as a Major General of the Empire, serving as the Brigade Commander of the 3rd Brigade of our 1st Division!"

As soon as Yang Juncheng finished speaking, Zhao Haiyu stood up and said to Yang Juncheng with a smile on his face.

While speaking, Zhao Haiyu took out the Major General's rank insignia from his bosom and attached it to Yang Juncheng. He then handed two sets of Major General's uniforms and an appointment letter for the position of 3rd Brigade Commander to Yang Juncheng.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your cultivation! This subordinate will never forget the Prince's kindness!"

"If the Prince has anything you need me to do in the future, just give the order. Even if I have to risk my life, I will complete the Prince's orders!"

Yang Juncheng accepted the uniforms and the appointment letter, and said to Zhao Haiyu with a solemn expression.

"Yang Juncheng, although you are a Cave Heaven Realm Cultivator, you possess the formidable combat power to slay a Void Immortal Realm Cultivator.

Therefore, I am prepared to have you act as the vanguard, leading the charge into the Great Shang Empire's territory to open a safe passage for our 1st Legion. I wonder what you think about this?"

Looking at the solemn-faced Yang Juncheng, Zhao Haiyu said with a smile.

"Prince, rest assured, I will definitely perform well as the vanguard commander and open a safe passage for our 1st Legion!"

As soon as Zhao Haiyu finished speaking, Yang Juncheng responded loudly.

After receiving Yang Juncheng's affirmative answer, Zhao Haiyu took out a map of the Chaos continent and began arranging the vanguard mission for Yang Juncheng.
