Although enraged, reason told it that since Lin Yifan knowingly faced danger to come here, he must have wanted to meet it and test its strength.

Therefore, it was pointless for it to waste effort trying to beguile Lin Yifan.

Looking back now, it realized how foolish its previous attempts at seduction had been.

"Detestable human! If I catch you, I'll tear you to pieces and then eat you bite by bite," it thought venomously, hating Lin Yifan to the bone.

"Haha! Haha!"

Meanwhile, Lin Yifan was bent over laughing, mocking the Mountain God's stupidity.

"It's ridiculous that such a dumb thing is worshipped as a Mountain God. It seems if I flew to the heavens and played mysterious, I could be a Heavenly God too," he sneered.

"You despicable creature, have the guts to come and fight!"

The Mountain God could no longer bear to listen and thus issued a challenge for Lin Yifan to fight it.

However, Lin Yifan was not infuriated by its provocation.

He sat leisurely on the ground and mockingly asked, "Why so flustered? Is it just because your foolish actions have been exposed? If it were me, I'd publicly admit I'm an idiot."

"You…" The Mountain God was angered but found itself without a way to deal with Lin Yifan, so it continued to provoke him, "Admit you're a big watermelon; stop babbling so much and have a fight if you dare."

"I won't go. What can you do to me?" Lin Yifan retorted shamelessly.

He didn't know the extent of the Mountain God's strength, so he wouldn't recklessly rush over to fight and risk his life.

Besides, he was using reverse psychology to enrage the Mountain God and test its true capabilities.

"If you won't come to kill me, then what are you doing here?" the Mountain God inquired.

This behavior of Lin Yifan's made it suspicious that he was trying to gauge its strength.

"I wanted to see just how clever, how formidable, and how boundless in mana the Mountain God spoken of by the people really is," Lin Yifan replied.

"And after seeing?" the Mountain God asked curiously.

"After seeing, I now recognize how stupid, how helpless it is, unable to punish someone who mocks and bellows in its face—a complete waste," Lin Yifan answered with scorn.

"You think I really can't do anything to you?" the Mountain God asked angrily.

Although it knew Lin Yifan was trying to provoke it, it still couldn't contain its anger because this was an insult to Chi Luoluo, an affront it couldn't swallow.

There was a time when it had been mighty, when even the most powerful Cultivators in the world could only seal it and not kill it; therefore, its pride couldn't stand being mocked by what it considered mere ants.

"If you could do something about me, you wouldn't just be shouting without taking any action," Lin Yifan responded with disdain, continuing to infuriate the Mountain God.

"Fine! Just you wait, I'll obliterate you, you bastard." Having said that, the Mountain God began to manipulate the pebbles around the cave to attack Lin Yifan.

Watching the stones rain down like a volley of arrows, Lin Yifan was slightly surprised, not expecting the Mountain God to be capable of long-range attacks. However, sensing the power level as merely that of the early stage of Divine Transformation First Realm, he was puzzled.

"Could it be that this thing's real strength is only at the early stage of Divine Transformation First Realm? Isn't that too weak? Then why would it dare to have someone invite me and Fangfang here?"

Lin Yifan was baffled; given that Fangfang's Realm was at the early stage of Divine Transformation Third Realm, two Great Realms higher than that of the Mountain God, a clever Mountain God certainly wouldn't do that.

There were two possible explanations for this situation: either the Mountain God was unaware of their true strength, or it was intentionally concealing its own power to lure him into a trap.

However, Lin Yifan was more inclined to believe the former; because from beginning to end, Fangfang had not shown her real strength, the Mountain God definitely did not know Fangfang's realm; unless it was a creature with an extraordinarily strong soul.

Only cultivators with strong soul perception could see through the falseness of realms and penetrate all deceptions.

There were very few cultivators in the world with such strong soul perception. He did not believe that a Mountain God sealed in a cave would be one of those with an exceptionally powerful soul.

Now that the enemy had become fierce, Lin Yifan wasn't going to sit back and await doom. He immediately ran to the trunk of the car, opened it, and took out the sharp sword inside, beginning to wield his martial arts to fend off the falling rocks.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After a bout of defending, the rain of stones finally ceased.

At this moment, Lin Yifan was gasping for breath, clearly somewhat fatigued.

His realm was relatively low, and using high-level martial arts was somewhat strenuous for him, so fatigue was inevitable.

The Mountain God inside the cave was greatly shocked. It had thought that the barrage of stones would be enough to kill Lin Yifan of the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm; however, Lin Yifan had managed to block it with his sword, which meant it had underestimated Lin Yifan's strength.

Just now, it had intended to kill Lin Yifan first and then have people move his corpse into the cave; now, it seemed this plan would likely fall apart.

Because after one surprise attack, the enemy would become cautious; launching another surprise attack would be difficult.

Nevertheless, it had a premonition that Lin Yifan would enter the cave to kill it.

"Kid, weren't you acting all cocky just now? Why did you go for the sword to block my attack?" the Mountain God asked with a laugh.

"Why are you so self-satisfied? Aren't you just an early-stage Divinity Transformation First Realm cultivator? I can snuff you out in minutes," Lin Yifan said contemptuously.

"Snuff me out in minutes? You look like you're panting like a cow, drenched in sweat. You must be pretty worn out, ha ha! Trash, if you don't have the strength, don't try to act tough in front of your enemy," the Mountain God laughed derisively instead of getting angry.

Lin Yifan's right hand gripped the sword hilt tightly, seething with rage. He really wanted to rush into the cave and kill the Mountain God that was a scourge upon the people.

But reason told him to wait. The one in a hurry was not him, but the Mountain God. If he turned around and left, the Mountain God would surely use all its strength to keep him there.

So, to probe the full extent of the Mountain God's power, he swallowed his anger and spoke, "Fine, I won't act tough anymore. I'm leaving right now."

After saying that, he put away his sword and turned to leave.

Watching this scene, the Mountain God became anxious and then said, "Since you're here, why not stay a while longer!"

No sooner had it spoken than it resumed controlling the stones, dead branches, and thorns around the cave to attack Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan quickly looked back to assess the situation.

Seeing a mass of clutter attacking him, he immediately drew his sword and used his high-level martial arts to fend off this fierce onslaught.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The attacking force of this wave of debris was still at the early stage of the Divinity Transformation First Realm, unchanged; it seemed that the Mountain God's realm was indeed just at the early stage of the Divinity Transformation First Realm.

However, to be cautious, Lin Yifan suppressed his impulse and waited to see whether the Mountain God had another desperate attack in store, to ascertain if it was still at the early stage of the Divinity Transformation First Realm.

After fending off this wave of attacks, he immediately employed his qinggong and swiftly left the area along the highway.
