...

Shun's expression turned unsightly when he saw the third-ranked general making things difficult for Juyu.

Although he just got acquainted with Juyu and there wasn't much friendship between them, they still fought on the same side. Juyu allowed him to participate in this, and this was the only reason why he had an opportunity to finish off Itsuki.

Right now, he couldn't help but to feel unhappy when he saw how tyrannical the third-ranked general was.

"Isn't this somewhat against the rules?" Shun stepped out. His chakra energy materialized a tyrannical sword again.

"Impudent. In a battle between generals, what are you interfering for?"

A tyrannical voice rang out. The speaker was the fourth-ranked devil general, Pangg. It seemed that he also hoped that the third-ranked general would be able to finish off Juyu. In his eyes, Juyu wasn't fit to occupy the position of the #7 ranked general.

"Juyu has already admitted defeat." Shun spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, the sword in his hand directly erupted forth with overwhelming might, sending out sword lights of destruction that sped towards the third-ranked general.

The third-ranked general was in the midst of attacking Juyu. He suddenly frowned when he felt an attack target at him. The devil spear in his hand stabbed out rapidly, creating an abyss of flames that buried the swords within.

"Interfering in general battles, are you courting death?" Pangg tyrannically spoke. Shun didn't seem to have heard his words and was continuing to advance forward.

But at this moment, a rumbling sound rang out. Only to see the first general opening his eyes as he spoke, "Stop."

Shun naturally knew that the first general was talking to him. He couldn't help but to frown severely.

This was how the first general was, cruel and cold-blooded.

What were the rules? There were no rules in combat when in the valley?

The third-ranked general domineering acted against Juyu and no one stopped him. Everyone just watched on like they were watching a good show, waiting for Zonn to vanquish the undeserving #7 ranked general, Juyu.

But when he walked out, the fourth-ranked general actually told him to stop and at this moment, even the first general has spoken.

Everyone turned their gaze onto Shun. The first general has spoken and for his words, even the third and fourth-ranked generals would have to consider it even if they wanted to disobey.

The lower ranked generals all submitted to him. His authority was overwhelming, he can even meet the Blackstone Devil King frequently if he wished.

He wanted Shun to stop. In that case, the ending of this battle has already been decided.

Juyu achieved an unprecedented peak in terms of her ranking, but her strength couldn't match the seat. Hence, they felt that she should no longer exist.

The words of the first general were unquestionable.

However, that was to people of the Blackstone Valley, and not to Shun.

As for Shun, how could he care what rank general you are?

Hence, when he saw Juyu in danger, he unhesitatingly stabbed out. As the sword strike unleashed, the sword transformed into numerous great birds, shooting towards those terrifying balls of devil flames.

The eyes of the first general gleamed with a dark golden light as a cold intent gushed forth from him. "Stop him."

After that, his protector behind him stepped out, as his knight, controlling the golden chariot to dash ahead, arriving at the battlefield in an instant.

Before Shun, the protector and knight of the first general, appeared.

That protector stabbed out with a spear, as the knight behind him also launch an attack simultaneously. In an instant, devil might permeated the area. The thunder chariot rumbled as a fearsome black lightning sliced the space, aiming for Shun.

Those who dared to defy the words of the first general naturally have to be killed.

Such a tyrannical scene caused the hearts of everyone to shake in fear. As expected of the knight and protector of the first general. Such strength caused many of the generals to sigh as their hearts were filled with shock.

The protector has also briefly touched the gate leading to the devil-king realm. Most probably, only a few among the generals would be able to defeat the first general's protector.

Earlier, the third general Zonn precisely wanted Itsuki to be his protector because he wanted to use him to fight against the first and second general's protectors. But when he saw the strength of the first general's protector now, he knew that even Itsuki wouldn't be able to match up to him.

"BOOM!" The terrifying lightning blasted into Shun as a destructive light flashed. But right now, despite the attacks, the crowd only saw Shun calmly standing there as a layer of armor appeared on his body, shining with golden light.

The war chariot also rushed over, slamming into him, yet the chariot actually shattered from Shun's insanely high defense.

"BOOM!"

Stepping out, Shun flicked his finger outwards. As he did so, a sword beam of light shot out, illuminating the sky, colliding into the protector and knight of the first general.

"Step aside." Shun walked out as he icily spoke.

At this moment, without Shun's interference, Zonn instantly suppressed Juyu harshly. Juyu's armor was already crumbling, her black hair fluttering chaotically as blood dripped from the corner of her lips.

Her eyes were pitch black, and incomparably cold. This Zonn actually truly intended to kill her, and it seemed that all the other generals were on his side, feeling that she deserved death.

In this ranking battle of the generals, who wouldn't covet a higher position? Her strength was truly insufficient to take on the #7 rank. But even so, should she just be killed like that?

"BOOM!"

Another strike lashed out. The abyss of devil flames wanted to bury her within. Juyu took out her devil medallion and directly activated it, manifesting a supreme defensive forcefield that shielded her, blocking the attack.

Juyu coughed out a mouthful of blood, she crushed the medallion as she shouted. "Devil general Juyu seek an audience with devil king's direct attendant."

Within the palace of the Blackstone Devil King, an extremely powerful aura gushed over here, radiating immense devil might.

Several devil generals had an astonished expression on their faces. This Juyu actually destroyed her devil medallion. Has she gone crazy?

When the third-ranked general saw this scene, the killing intent in his eyes furthered intensified. Did she want to meet with the devil king's attendant?

After killing Juyu, even if the attendant arrived, what can he do to him, the third-ranked general?

As he thought of this, Zonn's destructive energy gushed forth ferociously once again, causing the spectators to feel their hearts trembling.

The third-ranked devil general was the third-ranked general indeed. Even now, he didn't want to give up and wanted to kill Juyu no matter what. For the things he wanted to do, he would accomplish them regardless of the cost.

On the other battlefield, Shun could already sense Zonn's persistence. His eyes grew extremely cold and the next moment, he blasted out with his palms, causing law energy to envelop the atmosphere.

The protector and knight of the first devil general who was fighting with Shun, both had drastic changes to their expressions. They howled in anger as the lightning war chariot rushed forth with force.

Shun's attack landed, shattering everything. The devil knight was forced back, coughing out blood. The protector was also forced back from the impact.

"Law energy, how strong. Earlier, he was still hiding part of his strength." The crowd stared in shock at Shun. This fellow also seemed to be able to control a trace of chakra-king energy.

That instant, that explosive attack he unleashed, swept over everything mercilessly.

"Hiding? Please, they aren't strong enough to make me go all out," Shun said arrogantly

However, Shun didn't have the time to care about the thoughts of these people. He slammed out with a palm, causing a gigantic palm imprint to descend from the sky, shooting towards Zonn.

Thunderous rumbling sounds echoed unceasingly, the third-ranked general didn't hesitate and he stabbed his devil spear into Juyu.

The devil flames around him were all blown away by the force of the gigantic palm and after he was done with Juyu, Zonn coldly turned his gaze over to Shun, exuding an intense killing intent.

Shun came over to Juyu. At this moment, there was a long spear embedded in Juyu's chest. Although the long spear dissipated back into devil energy, there was a large and bloody wound on her chest as fresh blood continuously flowed out.

"Cough." Juyu coughed out a mouthful of blood. She stared at Shun and at this moment, her cold eyes contained the hint of a smile. "How dangerous. Thank you."

"No worries. I will kill him for you." Shun spoke. However at this moment, a figure soared through the air and stood there imperiously. This new arrival was the direct attendant of the devil king himself.

Direct attendants of the devil king all had extremely terrifying strength. They were chosen from the most elite of devil generals.

This direct attendant was also one of the top generals in the past. His eyes were extremely cold, staring at everyone. Everyone bowed to him but as for the first devil general, he was still sitting there calmly, glancing at his subordinates who were injured by Shun.

"Juyu, you explain." The direct attendant of the devil king turned his gaze onto Juyu as he asked.

"The third-ranked general wanted to kill me. Juyu had no choice and can only give up on the general battle." Juyu replied.

"Do you know what your actions indicate?" The direct attendant of the devil king coldly spoke.

"I know. I will hereby bow out of this ranking battle. In addition, my position as the general will be removed. I will pass it on to my protector Shun. His strength is much higher than mine, only he is qualified to sit on the seat of the #7 ranked devil general." Juyu spoke, her words causing gleams of sharpness to appear in the eyes of many.

This Juyu was truly decisive, choosing to bow out with no hesitation, and even passing on her position to Shun.

The attendant glanced at Shun before casting another glance at the first general as he asked. "What do you think?"

The first general stared at Shun as he coldly spoke, "You are truly insolent. But since you are able to force back my protector, you do have the qualifications to take on this position."

"Fine. Since this is the case, Shun will take over Juyu's position and become a general from now on." The attendant of the devil king waved his hands, sending a devil medallion flying towards Shun.

Shun stretched his hand out and took it, glancing at Juyu.

"Since I've bowed out of the generals battle, can you send me back?" Juyu asked.

Shun nodded. He brought Juyu and was preparing to leave. Everyone stared at their backs as complicated expressions could be seen on their faces. Lia felt extremely taken aback.

Shun actually replaced Juyu and became a general.

"For all the protector knights under Juyu, I'm willing to recruit as my subordinates. Who is willing to join me?" The third-ranked general Zonn stared at the subordinates of Juyu as he spoke.

The eyes of those knights flashed, gleaming with sharpness. This was an opportunity to them.

"We greet the general." There were some who instantly abandoned Juyu, falling on one knee to Zonn.

"I pay my respects to the general." Even for the other protector under Juyu, he also chose to go over to the third-rank devil general. The position and status of Zonn wasn't something Juyu could compare to.

Shun and Juyu halted their steps. But Juyu merely said, "Let's go."

Shun didn't say anything as both of them departed. The third-ranked general Zonn stared at their backs as he laughed coldly.

"What a farce." The crowd stared at the lonely-looking silhouettes of the two of them as they commented. Even their subordinates had betrayed them.

Yet the them now still had no idea that in a not too long away future, Shun would use an iron-handed method to cleanse the general palace with blood!
