Bab 672: Burning Bridges and Bravado

This was consistent with his previous suspicion that Lin Jin had an unfettered immortal backing him up. The man was able to pass through that mysterious door and interfere with their fight here.

Yan Shenjun didn't understand how it all worked but the odds were clearly stacked against him. If not for unusual circumstances, he wouldn't want to provoke Lin Jin at all.

By mobilizing his entire force, he cut off all means of retreat for Lin Jin's party.
