Li San used his Absolute Skill ”Monument Pushing Hand” with the ”Sky-shattering” technique, but it failed to injure the Frog Monster, nearly getting killed by the highly toxic liquid it sprayed. If not for Ye Tianchen’s critical intervention, activating his strongest defense, the ”Golden Divine Shield,” to block the two streams of poison, Li San wouldn’t have had time to retreat and might have lost his life.

Although Ye Tianchen created a golden wall in mid-air with his ”Golden Divine Shield,” blocking the two highly toxic liquids, his expression was very solemn. Even after surviving many life-and-death battles, this was the first time Ye Tianchen showed such a demeanor before the fight had even begun. Li San also became serious. His ”Sky-shattering” Absolute Skill had been a direct hit on the Frog Monster, but it had no effect. Not only did it fail to injure the monster, it couldn’t even force it to retreat. This creature was far too powerful and not easily dealt with.

”This defensive gold wall seems quite strong. Maybe we can use it to get close and finish off that Frog Monster,” Li San said, glancing at the not-so-large gold wall in the sky.

”It’s no use. This is my strongest defense, and it can only last for a moment,” Ye Tianchen shook his head and replied.

Indeed, just as Ye Tianchen’s words fell, a sizzling sound was heard, and his ”Golden Divine Shield” was corroded and crumbled in less than ten seconds. The poison liquid from the Frog Monster was incredibly fierce, piercing through Ye Tianchen’s strong defense in an instant. This surprised Ye Tianchen, and it seemed that Liu Rumei’s reminder through Yong Chun Tai was correct. It was very possible that there were virulent creatures within the military base of M country, creatures that were very powerful and unpredictable, the kind that could easily be fatal if one was not careful.

”Hmph, you’re no match for the Frog Monster. Just let it eat you,” Balock laughed loudly from the back, his face twisted with viciousness. He seemed to see a glimmer of hope, believing that with his Frog Monster taking action, Ye Tianchen, the Eastern Demon, wouldn’t be much of a threat.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Balock hiding in the back and then at the Frog Monster in front of him before saying, ”Brother Li San, I’ll hold off this Frog Monster. You go kill Balock and get the remote control from him. It won’t be easy for us to take down this Frog Monster; we need to find a way to control it first!”

”I’ll hold off the Frog Monster; you go kill Balock. You have the Divine Movement Skill, which makes you more suited for the task than I am,” Li San replied.

”Brother, you still have the Double Saber King to kill, and your mother’s vendetta to avenge. Do you really want someone else to do it for you? Don’t you want to get revenge with your own hands?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”But...” Li San hesitated.

”There are no buts. We don’t have much time. While the Frog Monster isn’t yet frenzied, we still have a chance. Stop hesitating!” Ye Tianchen interrupted Li San.

The plan to kill Balock and take the remote control from him was naturally best suited for Ye Tianchen, who possessed a powerful defensive Superpower Skill and the extremely fast Divine Movement Skill. Balock wasn’t a fool and wouldn’t just stand there to be captured, and the Frog Monster would likely protect him, so speed was of the essence. Ye Tianchen was the best choice. However, the risk of staying behind to hold off the Frog Monster was undoubtedly immense; it posed a real threat to life. It wasn’t clear just how powerful the Frog Monster was, and it was surrounded by intense poison. Toxic genetic materials from the toad, lizard, king cobra, and human genes had merged into one entity, creating a terrifying creature.

And Ye Tianchen had reserved this greatest risk for himself, advising Li San to kill Balock. He did this out of consideration for Li San, not wanting him to take the risk. The Frog Monster was incredibly formidable, with Ye Tianchen himself unsure of the outcome, let alone Li San. Knowing Li San still had personal enemies to deal with, Ye Tianchen understood that Li San would have regrets if he were wounded or sacrificed. If, as a leader, Ye Tianchen couldn’t lead his brothers to accomplish anything, what was the point of being their leader? How could he deserve to be called a leader? A leader should always lead from the front and consider the well-being of his brothers. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of their loyalty and their lives?

Li San looked at Ye Tianchen with genuine admiration and confirmed his commitment to Ye Tianchen as his leader. Joining the Thirteen Heavenly Kings was an honor for him. He decided in his heart that whether he avenged himself or not, he would stay with the Thirteen Heavenly Kings until he was either dead or too old to move.

Whoosh! Li San hesitated no longer, knowing that any further hesitation would only make the situation worse for them. He swiftly bypassed the Frog Monster and charged toward Balock. Just as he was about to pass by the Frog Monster, it suddenly reached out its right palm. Its right arm rapidly extended, and it swung a slap toward Li San. Li San, taken by surprise, was about to counter with Monument Pushing Hand when the Frog Monster’s right arm suddenly stopped, with the Power of thunder and lightning flickering around it.

Ye Tianchen’s Divine Movement Skill was so fast it reached an extreme, and with one punch he landed a blow on the right forearm of the Frog Monster, blocking its attack aimed at Li San. Li San, caught off-guard for a moment, instantly dodged the strike from the Frog Monster’s right palm and rushed to the back. Ye Tianchen then smiled at the Frog Monster and said, ”Your opponent is me; let my brother go do his own thing!”

”Gurgle, I’m hungry, I want to eat humans, I want to eat you...” the Frog Monster, with a pair of fierce green eyes, stared at Ye Tianchen.

”Back on Apocalypse Star, I ate plenty of fierce beasts, but I have never tasted a creature like you. I wonder what you taste like; I really want to try!” Ye Tianchen continued, smiling.

Slap, slap, slap... The Frog Monster’s lengthy green hand rapidly slapped towards Ye Tianchen, who kept using the Divine Movement Skill to dodge, not daring to withstand the blows head-on. The Frog Monster’s body was covered in a sort of yellow, sticky liquid that not only looked very disgusting but also carried a deadly poison. Touching it carelessly could easily lead to instant death.

Seeing that it couldn’t hit Ye Tianchen with its palms, the Frog Monster became furiously enraged, slapped its hands on the ground, and opened its mouth wide. At first, it seemed somewhat normal, but when it opened up, it resembled the mouth of a frog, rimmed with pus-filled blisters that were extremely disgusting. It then shot out a string of bubbles from its mouth, all aiming quickly at Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows and hurriedly retreated, not wanting to come into contact with the bubbles.

Pop!

A bubble burst in mid-air, and immediately yellow liquid flowed out, spilling everywhere. Any part of the ground that got even a hair’s breadth covered in it turned into white foam, bubbling and giving the sensation of boiling—a sign of very potent toxicity.

Pop!

Another bubble from the Frog Monster’s mouth burst, and this time it hit a large tree next to Ye Tianchen. In less than five seconds, the entire tree had vanished, turned into white bubbles. This level of destructiveness was beyond the mere description of poison; it was utterly maddening.

Ye Tianchen continued to dodge as the five bubbles the Frog Monster spat out narrowly missed hit him. If his Divine Movement Skill hadn’t been so rapid, he would have had no way to evade them. Despite the Frog Monster’s bulky figure and poisonous body, its movements were not slow at all. Seeing Ye Tianchen evade its five toxic bubbles, the Frog Monster lunged forward on all fours, moving rapidly like a lizard, its speed lightning-fast. Before Ye Tianchen could react, the Frog Monster’s head struck straight at his chest.

”Earth Skill—Earthen Wall!”

With a slap of his palm on the ground, Ye Tianchen summoned a thick wall of earth, hoping to block the Frog Monster, which resembled a lizard. Unfortunately, the wall couldn’t hold; just as it rose up, it shattered with a loud bang, and the Frog Monster’s head burst through, still hurtling towards Ye Tianchen, who had already leaped backward into the air.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen’s chest was struck by the head of the Frog Monster, sending him flying dozens of meters away, slamming heavily into a sturdy brick wall, which then crumbled. Meanwhile, the Frog Monster stood not far away, making gurgling noises from its throat. Ye Tianchen rose from the rubble, checked his chest, and found it largely unharmed. Fortunately, the Frog Monster’s head wasn’t coated with any deadly poison; otherwise, even he, Ye Tianchen, with all his might, would not have survived the blow.

The Frog Monster’s green eyes kept moving, looking at Ye Tianchen while also scanning the surroundings as if attracted by something. Ye Tianchen clenched his fists tightly and instantly elevated his combat power to the Emperor-level Superpower Realm. This Frog Monster was indeed formidable and difficult to handle. He could not afford to be careless; if this went on, Ye Tianchen might indeed meet his end here. (To be continued.
