Such a blatant humiliation drove the opponent to the brink of collapse.

Ji Yan glanced at the dried-up hard-boiled egg opposite him and said disdainfully, "General Chen, tsk, to be honest, your skull is really not as good-looking as Chen Shi's."

Upon hearing this, General Chen nearly choked on his own breath, a breath of turbid air rushing straight to the top of his head, his brain feeling cold and buzzing.

Chen Shi was his eldest son. He became famous at a young age and is now a great general. Everyone who sees him praises him highly. But just yesterday, his outstanding and brave eldest son was killed by Ji Yan.

With a single sword stroke, his head was severed, his skin peeled off, and his bones removed. His son's skull is still hanging on the Great Yan city wall as a show of defiance.

Thinking of his beloved son, General Chen cried out in anguish, "Ji Yan, you beast, you bastard! You killed my son, now have the guts to kill me!"

"No, no, if I wanted to kill you, how could I have kept you alive until now?"

Ji Yan touched the short dagger with his fingertip, and beads of blood immediately slid down. He smiled and squinted, "General Chen may not know, but I am a picky person and do not like killing ugly creatures, especially someone as ugly as you... ugly and withered, very boring."

"Ah! Give me your life—" General Chen's blood boiled, and he raised his sword to strike again.

Ji Yan didn't even blink, and even had time to order Zhou Hu, who was busy fighting, "Zhou Hu, come here and kill him."

Zhou Hu immediately slit the enemy soldier's throat and rushed over to parry General Chen's heavy blow. The two then became entangled in a fierce battle.

All around them was the deafening roar of battle, but Ji Yan stood with his arms crossed, squinting as he watched the two fight with a bored expression.

It was as if he was watching a play, but he found it uninteresting and didn't watch for long before turning around and riding away.

Instead of returning to Xufeng Pass, he rode his horse straight towards a dense forest. The terrain of this forest was quite complicated. The soldiers of Great Yan were always on alert for His Majesty's movements. Upon seeing this, they quickly spurred their horses to give chase.

To everyone's surprise, they were all sent back shortly afterward.
