The frog croaked, as if mocking the attack, as if saying the assault had done nothing to it. Seeing this, Liu Xing realized that the Thunderstrike Gauntlets were the only real weapon capable of hurting the frog. He aimed his right hand at the frog, but before he could act, several leaves flew at him. Forced to summon his shield, he retreated quickly. As he moved, the pink leaves followed.

Liu Xing gritted his teeth as he maneuvered across the lake. The relentless leaves distracted him, making an effective attack nearly impossible. He needed one powerful blow to finish it.

As he flew over the water, the Ethereal Pearl came to Liu Xing's mind, and a risky plan was formed. The risk was high; the Red Wings of Stability might be destroyed. However, at this moment, Liu Xing would be satisfied with just surviving the battle. Grabbing the Ethereal Pearl from his spatial bag, he tossed the black pearl into his mouth and held it there. He had no other place to keep it, as he needed both hands free for offense.

He decided to dive back into the lake. As his body was submerged and his vision blurred, he summoned his shield. Kicking the shield inside the water, he maneuvered through the lake, hoping that the pink leaves wouldn't follow him. But as he moved, he noticed blurry shapes following him in the water.

He zigzagged through the water, channeling qi from his gun into the Ethereal Pearl. Occasionally, he fired explosive bullets to thin out the leaves pursuing him. Eventually, he decided to surface and move across the lake again. He bounced from spot to spot, still cloaked in invisibility, but the frog seemed to predict his movements. It tried to slap him with its blue, skinny hands, whip him with its pink tongue, and control the leaves to trap him.

Half an hour passed. There was a moment when the gem in his shield stopped glowing, forcing Liu Xing to pause and recharge it. That moment nearly cost him his life, but he narrowly escaped the frog's snapping jaws.

Now, Liu Xing circled the giant frog. The creature knew he was close, as the shield appeared around it, and it swatted at him like an annoying mosquito, croaking angrily with each failed attempt. The frog's face had fully regenerated, except for some burn marks on its right side.

"Enough!" the frog croaked. "I'll end you here!"

The frog started forming hand seals with its four hands again.

Liu Xing's heart pounded. The last time the frog had used hand seals, it had created thousands of leaves that could strike with incredible force. If not for his Lightning Cloak, he would have died many times over. Now, in its anger, the frog was preparing something else.

Aiming his gun, Liu Xing fired six explosive bullets at the back of the frog's head. The frog snapped its head toward him, canceling two of the hand seals and covered its head with its blue hands. When the bullets hit its blue hands, they exploded and pushed the frog forward.

The frog managed to complete the hand seals with its two remaining hands, smiling gleefully as Liu Xing gritted his teeth, knowing the frog's technique would activate. As it croaked, he saw the frog's two blue hands suddenly explode. Blood and blue flesh showered the area around him. Being so close when the hands exploded, he was drenched in blood that rendered his invisibility useless.

The frog's eyes locked onto him, its eyes still spinning, and when its eyes suddenly sent a ripple of wind, he felt the blood drenching him become hot, as if he were being drenched with boiling water.

Standing on his shield, he watched as the thousands of pink leaves suddenly changed color to red, growing slightly larger and taking on the shape of swords. Each red sword pulsed with a glowing hue, their tips all pointing at him.

Realizing what had happened, he understood the frog was furious with his invisibility and speed, which made him hard to hit. The frog had sacrificed its two hands to activate a technique that marked him. He had no doubt these thousands of blades would chase him to the ends of the world as long as the hot blood clung to him.

He inhaled deeply. This frog was formidable, and while it could use powerful techniques, they were not deadly enough to finish him off. He knew he still had one chance to win this fight, though the chance of getting the Red Wings of Stability was drastically reduced. At this point, Liu Xing was exhausted and just wanted to end the battle.

The frog turned its body, its two blue stumps still gushing blood like twin waterfalls. With its remaining hands, it pointed at Liu Xing.

"Try to escape if you can!" it shouted.

Every red blade pointed at him, and then, as if a starting gun had fired, they all flew at him with incredible speed.

Faced with this onslaught, Liu Xing realized he couldn't escape. Sooner or later, one of the blades would pierce him. But luckily, the Ethereal Pearl inside his mouth was now filled with qi from his gun, and now, it was ready to be unleashed.

Liu Xing had two ways to attack: his gun or the Thunderstrike Gauntlets. If he used his gun, Liu Xing would have to activate the Exploding Fist with a considerable amount of qi, something he wasn't confident in. He was afraid that if he used too much qi for the Exploding Fist, his body would tear apart. Lacking confidence in his body's ability to handle such a surge of qi, he decided to use the Thunderstrike Gauntlets to end the battle quickly. Standing on the shield and adjusting his stance, he aimed his palm at the thousand red blades trying to pierce him. Through the gaps in the blades, he could see the frog grinning sadistically.

The qi traveled from the pearl inside his mouth to his right hand. He suddenly felt his body go numb, as if his mouth, neck, and right hand had vanished. For a moment, he imagined some of his body parts had been blown away without him realizing it. But when he saw his hand glowing slightly, still intact, he knew this numbness was the effect of the qi he absorbed from the gun. He didn't dare unleash all the qi at once, knowing the gauntlets could break under overload, but he still channeled a significant amount of qi into the gauntlet until a ball of white lightning, the size of a barrel, materialized in front of his palm.

With a shout, he thrust his palm forward. A blinding white light flooded the world, a deafening thunderclap shook the air, and a massive pillar of lightning extended from his right hand, engulfing a large portion of the red blades threatening to pierce him.

As the attack receded, he directed some of the qi from the Ethereal Pearl to his feet and kicked off the shield. He moved so fast that he appeared as a blur, materializing suddenly in front of the frog's face, whose eyes were wide with shock.

Wasting no time, he channeled more qi into his right gauntlet, creating another ball of white lightning and unleashed a pillar of lightning as large as the frog's head. The frog tried to duck, and while its face from the eyes downward was spared, the top of its head was turned to dust.

The frog screeched and attempted to swat Liu Xing with its hand. But Liu Xing summoned his shield, kicked off again, and suddenly found himself near the frog's belly. A ball of white lightning, as big as a boulder, had already materialized in his right hand.

"Eat this!" he shouted.

As the ball of white lightning made contact with the frog's belly, a massive pillar of energy stretched out, piercing the frog's belly and protruding from its back. The frog croaked in pain, but Liu Xing roared and waved his hand as if he was wielding a lightning blade. The column slashed to the side, splitting the frog in two.

As the frog's upper body began to fall, it tried to punch Liu Xing, but another basketball-sized lightning ball had already materialized in his hand. This was Liu Xing's last attack. The Ethereal Pearl was now completely empty.

"Goodbye!" Liu Xing shouted as he delivered the final palm strike.
