Chapter 214 Piccolo's Defeat
Piccolo's previous composure vanished. He launched the first attack, roaring as he swung his fist and charged at Frieza like an arrow. Frieza, a contemptuous smile on his lips, easily dodged the fierce blow by simply shifting his body slightly. Immediately afterward, he retaliated with lightning speed. Piccolo, unable to dodge in time, was struck heavily and sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
In mid-air, Piccolo quickly adjusted his stance, his eyes burning with an indomitable flame, and roared as he charged forward again. But Frieza was a ghost, and Piccolo's attacks missed time and time again, resulting in him being knocked away by Frieza once more and crashing heavily to the ground.
Filled with resentment, Piccolo gritted his teeth and charged forward with a third punch. This time, Frieza remained calm, instantly conjuring a glowing energy shield in front of him. Piccolo, unable to stop in time, crashed into it head-on, only to be violently thrown back by the powerful recoil.
Frieza stopped teasing, a chilling smile on his face, and launched an attack. Piccolo, seeing this, quickly raised his hand to block. The two instantly clashed, their punches whistling through the air, each collision producing a dull thud, every blow landing with a visceral impact. But at this moment, Piccolo, facing a greatly enhanced Frieza, could only parry, with no chance to retaliate. After only a few rounds, Piccolo was struck by a powerful punch from Frieza and sent flying backward once more.
Frieza's lips curled into a cruel smile, followed by a series of eerie "heh heh" laughs: "Now, you can die, heh heh heh heh. All your proud abilities are utterly worthless before me. You are nothing but a bunch of pathetic ants!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Frieza slowly extended his left hand, raising his index and middle fingers in a sword-like shape, then flicked them lightly. In an instant, an energy blast shot out like a laser beam, heading straight for Piccolo's left knee. Piccolo had no time to react; with a muffled "thud," he was struck. He groaned, barely managing to steady himself before Frieza, in the same manner, flicked his right hand with two fingers, sending out another energy blast that accurately struck Piccolo's right knee.
Piccolo was shocked: "Such speed!" But Frieza's attack didn't stop, a mocking smile on his face. He flicked his fingers repeatedly, unleashing countless energy projectiles like a torrential rain upon Piccolo. Piccolo tensed, gritting his teeth and trying to withstand the overwhelming onslaught.
Klin's eyes widened, his face filled with shock and anger, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "This speed is too fast!"
Seeing this, Sun Wukong roared in anger, "Damn it!" With that, he charged forward like an arrow released from a bow.
Shang Yun was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Gohan, come back quickly!" He then rushed over as well.
Krillin was anxious and wanted to rush forward as well, but Vegeta suddenly grabbed his ankle from behind and pulled him back hard.
Vegeta gripped Krillin's shoulders tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and roared, "Idiots! If you charge in now, you'll all die at Frieza's hands! The only way right now is to beat me half to death!"
Krillin was stunned by Vegeta's words, staring in disbelief: "Huh? What did you say?"
Vegeta thought to himself, "If I can be resurrected from the brink of death once again, perhaps I can break through my limits and become a true Super Saiyan!"
Frieza's previous attack, though not at full strength, had left Piccolo covered in wounds, though it hadn't sent him flying. However, just as Goku was about to strike, Frieza keenly sensed his movement and unleashed a powerful energy wave from his right hand, striking Piccolo hard and sending him flying like a rag doll. At this moment, Piccolo's clothes were almost torn, and his entire body was covered in wounds, not a single spot unscathed.
Frieza immediately turned and threw a punch at the charging Gohan. Gohan reacted quickly, nimbly dodging the attack and then flying swiftly above Frieza. He raised his hands high and shouted, "Magic Flash!" A powerful energy wave surged towards Frieza. Perhaps due to overconfidence, Frieza didn't even try to dodge, directly facing the energy wave, his entire body pressed against it, engaging in a fierce battle of wits.
Gohan was enraged to the extreme, his eyes bloodshot, and he roared, "You wretched bastard, die!" With that, he unleashed his power once more, the intensity of the energy wave instantly surging. The powerful energy continued to bombard him, but Frieza stubbornly resisted, not being swept away by the energy wave.
Gohan continued to exert his power, and the intensity of his attacks increased steadily, gradually pushing Frieza's figure backward.
Seeing this, Krillin excitedly shouted, "Go for it, Gohan!"
However, just as Frieza's tail was about to touch the ground, Frieza roared and pushed with both arms, actually reversing the energy wave emitted by Gohan.
Son Gohan was terrified. The energy wave that had been pushed back was incredibly fast, far exceeding his reaction speed. He had no time to dodge, and just as the energy wave was about to hit him, Shang Yun appeared behind Son Gohan and caught him in his arms. In an instant, the two of them vanished. The incredibly powerful energy wave shot straight into the sky, bursting into a dazzling light in the heavens.
Son Gohan looked at Shang Yun with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Godfather."
Frieza landed steadily on the ground, his gaze fixed on Gohan, inwardly wondering, "Strange, how did this kid's strength increase so much since he recovered?" Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, he exclaimed, "That's right, this kid is a Saiyan! But whose son is he? After I destroyed Planet Vegeta, only Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz remained as Saiyans. He doesn't look like Vegeta or Nappa at all. Could he be Raditz's son? He seems somewhat like him."
Frieza's face was grim, his mind churning with malice: "The Saiyan bloodline must be completely eradicated from this universe! Although I don't believe the absurd claim that Super Saiyans are the strongest warriors in the universe, there's always been a knot in my stomach. Just look at how Vegeta and this brat have increased their strength so rapidly in such a short time—these two guys absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"
Vegeta's eyes were fixed on Gohan, and he thought to himself, "Judging from this kid's performance just now, he really is the most likely to become a Super Saiyan." With that thought, Vegeta suddenly reached out, grabbed Krillin by the collar, and yanked him roughly in front of him, almost roaring, "You little bald guy, listen to me! You know that Saiyans become much stronger after being near death and then recovering, right? Listen, before Frieza transforms one last time, beat me half to death, and hurry up!"
Seeing Krillin standing there dumbfounded and unresponsive, Vegeta shouted impatiently again, "Did you hear me? Saiyans have this characteristic; they need to be injured by someone else. Even if I kill myself, it won't help!"
Klin was utterly shocked and stammered, "You...you mean you want me to beat you half to death?"
Vegeta forced a smile, suppressing his anxiety: "Don't worry, I'll keep my ki to a minimum." He then glanced at Dende, who was hiding behind the mountain, and continued, "Since this Namekian kid has the ability to help us recover, we should make good use of it."
Krillin looked helpless and said, "That's true, but even if I hate you, I just can't bring myself to do it. Besides, Goku is almost recovered, so we can just stall for time."
Upon hearing this, Vegeta released Krillin and said with a disdainful look, "Kakarot is just a low-level warrior. He could never become a Super Saiyan."
