He caught his breath a few times, and Lin Yifan immediately recited the incantation, preparing to activate the Instant Teleport Charm to leave this place.

The enemy was too strong—he was not a match at all, so fleeing was the best strategy.

However, as soon as he started to speak, his voice became hoarse all of a sudden, a consequence of prolonged pressure on the throat.

He had to clear his throat before he could speak properly. So, he started clearing his throat.

"Cough, cough! Cough, cough!"

Watching this scene, the Mountain God thought Lin Yifan was about to curse it, so it didn't take it seriously.

But, when it heard what Lin Yifan had said, it suddenly felt that something was not right.

Immediately, it exerted its Soul Power to sense Lin Yifan's body, to see if there was something on Lin Yifan; when it detected a yellow talisman in Lin Yifan's left hand, it instantly felt uneasy and immediately used its powerful cultivation power to control Lin Yifan's mouth, preventing him from speaking.

Lin Yifan was just one phrase away from finishing the incantation, but everything was beyond his expectations. He hadn't expected the Mountain God to detect something wrong in just a short two seconds, and now he was completely desperate.

After controlling Lin Yifan's mouth, the Mountain God immediately used its potent cultivation power to pry open the fingers of Lin Yifan's left hand, then drew the yellow talisman towards it, taking it into its hand to examine closely. Quickly, it recognized what the talisman was.

"An Instant Teleport Charm! Tsk tsk, you have such a precious thing for escaping, it seems your Master comes from a distinguished lineage," the Mountain God exclaimed.

In the past, it had seen some powerful individuals and young heroes use such charms, so the memory was still fresh in its mind.

"Humph! Good that you know. If you're sensible, you'll let me go quietly. Otherwise, if my Master comes, you'll be waiting to collect your corpse," Lin Yifan threatened.

Now, it was the only move he could make. Although he felt it was of little use, he still wanted to give it a try, in case it worked, right?

In fact, with his current strength and realm, the Mountain God was somewhat afraid of the world's mightiest cultivators. Otherwise, it would have swallowed humans without hesitation long ago, not having to rely on eating those stinky animals to sate its hunger.

Out of curiosity, it asked, "What realm is your Master in?"

"True Master Realm!" Lin Yifan replied.

"Which level of the True Master Realm? Is it the True Master First Realm or the True Master Five Realm Peak?" the Mountain God continued to inquire.

Lin Yifan knew the Mountain God was starting to be concerned, so he replied directly, "True Master Five Realm Peak!"

He then asked, "How about that? Scared yet? If you're scared, let me go quickly, or you'll be doomed forever."

"Scared? Let me tell you, I have never been afraid of the people from your world; also, don't take me for a fool. If I let you go, would I have any way to survive?" the Mountain God scoffed, not at all intimidated by Lin Yifan's words.

Back in its day, when it invaded this world, it battled the strongest beings. The being it fought against had surpassed the True Master Five Realm Peak and reached unprecedented heights; despite that, the cultivator was unable to deal with it and ultimately had to seal its undying soul with his blood. So, it was not afraid of such strong cultivators, let alone some minor True Master from the Five Realms.

"You're not from this world?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.

From its recent response, it was evident that this neither-human-nor-ghost creature was an otherworldly invader, not a person from their world.

"How about that? Surprised, aren't you?" the Mountain God asked proudly.

It loved such astonished gazes, those fearful expressions, that look of utter despair.

"Not surprised at all! How could a monster like you possibly be from our world? People from our world are much more noble than you," Lin Yifan answered.

"Noble? So what? You are still trampled under my feet, unable to move," the Mountain God sneered, not caring about Lin Yifan's disdain at all.

Afterward, it burned the talisman in its hand to ashes in midair, completely cutting off Lin Yifan's means of retreat.

Upon witnessing this, Lin Yifan felt nothing but anger and despair; then he deployed the Three Pure Ones Sword Technique, making a futile attempt to kill this evil otherworldly creature.

But an egg would always be an egg, incapable of contending with the hardness of a stone. And so, he was quickly subdued by the Mountain God.

"Humph! A mere ant trying to resist is simply delusional," the Mountain God snorted. Then, with a cold expression, it casually threw Lin Yifan out.

"Bang!"

Once again, Lin Yifan hit the hard wall heavily, seriously injured.

"Cough, cough!"

After coughing up two mouthfuls of fresh blood, he immediately changed his approach and threatened, "Don't think that just because you kill me in secret, my master won't come; I'm telling you, if I don't walk out of this cave alive today, my senior sister will definitely tell my master to deal with you, and then, you can wait for your death."

Now, only through threats could he hope for a slim chance of survival.

"Damn it, the one thing I hate most is being threatened."

The Mountain God grew angry and immediately controlled Lin Yifan with cultivation power, hurling him to the other side.

"Bang!"

Another harsh collision made Lin Yifan feel like his body was almost falling apart, the pain unbearable.

"Ahh!!!"

He screamed heart-wrenchingly, but despite this, he didn't forget to threaten, "My master will definitely come and avenge me, just you wait."

"Still tough-talking even as you're dying. It seems I need to give you a proper lesson."

Having said this, the Mountain God walked over to Lin Yifan and violently broke his fingers.

"Snap!"

"Ahh!!!"

Lin Yifan let out a wail of pain, having never experienced such agony, it was practically life-threatening.

"Still dare to be so tough?" the Mountain God asked with a cold laugh.

It enjoyed using such excruciating methods to torment its prey, feeling an inexplicable sense of achievement and extreme excitement at such moments.

"My master will definitely come to help me av..." Lin Yifan was just so stubborn, refusing to bow his head.

But before he could finish, the Mountain God broke another of his fingers.

"Snap!"

"Ahh!!!"

Instantly, another wave of heart-wrenching pain spread through his body, continuously assaulting his strong spirit.

Even though he had a resilient spirit, it would eventually break under such torture.

"How about now, still dare to be tough?" the Mountain God asked once again.

Seeing Lin Yifan in such agony made it joyful.

"My master will defi..."

"Snap!"

"Ahh!!!"

Another act of defiance brought him another bout of heart-piercing pain. Now, his whole body was trembling, his teeth chattering non-stop, the pain immense.

"Try being tough one more time for me," the Mountain God taunted.

It was curious to see just how much endurance Lin Yifan had.

"My master..."

"Snap!"

"Ahh!!!"

Once again, a wave of heart-piercing bone penetration pain washed over him; Lin Yifan's jaw was almost crushed by his own clenching, and soon he would not be able to hold on.
