Perhaps he noticed reinforcements coming to his aid, the immortal began to stammer incessantly in an attempt to buy time for his allies.
Lin Jin knew he couldn't afford to be benevolent right now. Whether or not the immortal talked, Lin Jin had to kill him within three seconds or this person would be a potential threat.
The poor immortal thought his plan was succeeding until he felt a wave of excruciating pain wash over his body. In the blink of an eye, inexorable flames consumed his entire body.
As he was immolated, his soul perished.
Simultaneously, a deep rumbling filled the air as three immortals bearing oppressive auras arrived at the scene.
"Why did Yan Ji's aura disappear?"
"It didn't disappear. He was killed. Duo Ji as well. His aura may be gone but I sense a rise in the death aura of an immortal. Someone must have died here."
