The Mountain God gritted his teeth, deeply conflicted inside. If it unleashed its true strength and failed to kill Lin Yifan in a single blow, it would certainly scare him off, and then it would lose both its prey.

But if it continued to attack Lin Yifan with the power of the Divine Transformation First Realm Early Stage, it couldn't hold him back. What should it do?

Time was pressing, and Lin Yifan was getting further away. If it didn't make a decision soon, Lin Yifan would really get away.

The next moment, it took a gamble, risking losing its prey, it still attacked Lin Yifan with the strength of the Divine Transformation First Realm Early Stage.

Since Lin Yifan had just blustered, claiming he could annihilate it in minutes, he would definitely come back to kill it, so it just needed to keep using the power of the Divine Transformation First Realm Early Stage.

After sensing the Mountain God's desperate attack was still with the power of the Divine Transformation First Realm Early Stage, Lin Yifan deduced that this scourge of the people might really only have the strength of the Divine Transformation First Realm Early Stage.

Since that was the case, he could boldly go back and kill it.

After dodging the Mountain God's last wave of attacks, Lin Yifan immediately used his qinggong and headed back along the path, straight into the cave.

Watching this scene, the Mountain God was overjoyed, not expecting to win its bet; Lin Yifan, this dumbass, really did want to bring about its demise, which suited it just fine.

The next moment, as soon as Lin Yifan rushed into the cave, it quickly set up a barrier to prevent him from escaping.

On the other hand, the moment Lin Yifan entered the cave, he suddenly felt something was wrong; the oppressive force inside the cave was too strong, and he was struggling to withstand it.

"Damn it! Tricked!"

Lin Yifan cursed inwardly, then tried to escape the way he had come, but when he flew to the entrance, he suddenly hit a wall harder than a steel barrier, and cried out in agony, "Ah! It hurts so much."

"Heehee, kid, you think you can run after coming in here? You really think too little of me, don't you?" the Mountain God taunted, its heart bursting with joy.

Now that the prey had fallen into its mouth, it could play with it however it wanted.

Lin Yifan felt a sense of despair, feeling a great disaster looming; he immediately took out an Instant Teleport Charm, holding it in his left hand, ready to recite the command and use its power to teleport away from this place.

"Kid, didn't you want to kill me? I'm right inside the cave; come and kill me!" the Mountain God with a ghostly charm called out, provoking intentionally.

Now, it was fighting on home turf, with a natural advantage, and was not afraid of Lin Yifan, this insignificant clown.

"Fine! I'll extinguish you right now, you dumbass."

Having said that, Lin Yifan relaxed his mind, heightened his vigilance, and prepared to confront the Mountain God.

Since there was no retreat, it was time to fight with all his might; perhaps there was still a chance for survival. If not, he would activate the Instant Teleport Charm and teleport away from here.

"Hmph! Kid, even at your death's door, your mouth still stinks. I'm really fed up with you," the Mountain God snorted coldly, not getting angry.

Lin Yifan was just posturing, feigning calm, surely scared to death inside.

"Who lives and who dies is still uncertain, and there's no denying that you are a dumbass."

Lin Yifan moved forward step by step, vigilant of his surroundings.

At this moment, the atmosphere reached a peak of tension, the cave pitch black, bottomless; he didn't know where the Mountain God was hiding.

"Hmph! All you've got is lip service, huh? Speaking of dumbasses, you're one too!"

The Mountain God suddenly grew furious, and then stretched out its hand, pulling Lin Yifan, who was walking toward the area, over to itself.

Feeling this force, Lin Yifan was astonishingly shocked; this power had already reached the peak of the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm, just one step shy of entering the True Master Realm.

No wonder it dared to summon him and Xiaofang to come here. It turned out to be so powerful. Consequently, it could also be deduced that it was a creature with an incredibly strong soul, possibly even stronger than its own actual strength.

Soul Power mainly attacks the soul and is a special kind of force, against which Cultivation Power is completely useless.

Cultivation Power can neither block Soul Power nor extinguish it. Therefore, both in terms of strength and Soul Power, Lin Yifan would be defeated by the Mountain God, with no chance whatsoever to resist.

After pulling Lin Yifan over, the Mountain God grabbed his neck in one move and then slowly lifted him up.

At this moment, Lin Yifan wanted to recite the command to activate the Instant Teleport Charm in his hand and leave this place. However, being strangled by the Mountain God, he couldn't even open his mouth.

The next instant, a dark blue light suddenly shone on the Mountain God's face, revealing its features.

Staring at the monster that suddenly appeared before him, Lin Yifan jumped in shock, feeling as though he had encountered a ghost.

The true face of the Mountain God was neither human nor ghost, repulsively hideous. If the people of Qingshi Town saw that their revered Mountain God looked like this, they would certainly be scared to the point of wetting themselves.

Why say so? Because this Mountain God only had parts of a human face, beyond which, there were other strange and terrifying things.

Firstly, the ears – they were sharp and spike-like, cold and daunting.

Next, the eyes – they were green, glowing with an unknown light.

Then, the hair – this creature's hair was short and fine, colored purple; moreover, it had a single horn on its head that curved backward, much like a crescent moon scimitar, which was very peculiar.

After that, the cheeks – its cheeks weren't covered with coarse hair, but rather with rows of things that fluttered like swimming serpents, deeply frightening to behold.

Finally, the most horrifying part – the mouth. The creature's mouth was full of fangs, and continuously dripped with green liquid, appearing utterly nauseating and terrifying.

"What kind of abomination is this? It doesn't look like a human, nor a ghost, nor does it resemble any creature of this world," Lin Yifan pondered full of doubts.

He speculated that this could be a foreign being or an ancient creature; and the body it now possessed was very likely one of the humans it had drawn into the cave and killed. It had used its powerful soul to occupy the body of this human and then slowly evolved into the peculiar form it now had.

Looking at Lin Yifan's face riddled with fear, the Mountain God laughed. It then asked haughtily, "Ant! Are you scared now? Do you dare to be arrogant still?"

Lin Yifan really wanted to retort, scared my ass, I am exactly that arrogant. But his neck was tightly gripped, and he found himself absolutely unable to speak.

After savoring Lin Yifan's fear, the Mountain God's expression suddenly turned sinister, and then it violently flung Lin Yifan to the side.

"Bang!"

Lin Yifan slammed heavily against the uneven and rocky wall, sustaining quite a few injuries.

At this time, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and a Blood Sea churned within his body, causing extraordinary discomfort and pain.

Although the Mountain God had just casually flung him, the force behind the throw was by no means inferior to a powerful strike from a Cultivator at the middle stage of the Divine Transformation First Realm. As a result, Lin Yifan felt extreme discomfort from the impact against the hard stone wall.

The Mountain God had controlled the strength of its throw, not killing Lin Yifan outright. It wanted to slowly torment this human who had been challenging, mocking, and scorning it, making him taste the sharp pain of the heart, the terror of a shattered courage, and the flavor of utter despair.
