Steam rose from the center of the ice sheet to a height of more than 10,000 meters, covering the Far North sky.
Eis Shenron's ice-blue eyes stared intently at the source of the steam.
His expression was no longer the calm and mocking one before.
The previous Vegeta was a scorching fireball in Eis Shenron's perception.
The temperature was very high, but the outline was clear. He could accurately judge the size, shape and movement trajectory of the fire.
It doesn't work now, the fire has disappeared.
What replaced it was something... that he couldn't find the words to describe.
Pressure comes from all directions at the same time.
It's like sinking to the bottom of the deep sea, like being stepped on by the weight of the entire planet.
Eis Shenron's Ice Wings began shaking uncontrollably.
"How is it possible..."
The steam began to dissipate, and the white water vapor seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand, splitting from the middle to both sides.
A figure walked out of the steam.
Vegeta.
But it's not the same.
His body shape has not changed, he still has the compact and powerful Saiyan physique.
But the short dark red hair covering the body became darker in color, from dark red to an almost pure black dark maroon.
His hair was also longer, hanging down to his waist, and slowly fluttering in the airflow behind him.
The M-shaped hairline is sharper than before, like a knife.
The dark red eye shadow around his eyes became wider and deeper, and against the dark chestnut hair, his entire face looked murderous.
Eis Shenron's throat rolled.
"You... broke through?"
Vegeta did not answer.
He looked down at his hands. The dark chestnut hair was stuck to the back of his hands, and his fingertips were slightly flexed and stretched.
Super Saiyan 4 Mid-Level.
He could truly feel that he had crossed that threshold.
Vegeta moved his neck, and his cervical spine made a series of crisp sounds.
He raised his head and his eyes fell on Eis Shenron on the ice peak a hundred meters away.
"What did you just say?"
"That I'm too proud? That my fighting style is too predictable?"
He takes a step.
Just take a step.
But when he stepped on the void, the air under his feet was actually dented, forming a circle of Energy Blast patterns visible to the naked eye that spread around.
Eis Shenron's Ice Wings suddenly opened to its maximum, and its body instinctively floated back thirty meters.
This is the instinctive reaction of living things when facing natural enemies.
Eis Shenron When he realized that he was retreating, his face became extremely ugly.
How could he be afraid?!
"Don't think you can make a comeback if you break through a little bit!"
Eis Shenron suppressed his intention to retreat, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and drew all the cold air from the polar regions to his side.
The lines on Ice Wings flowed rapidly, and layers of blue Ice Armor were generated and superimposed on his body surface, and the thickness skyrocketed from ten centimeters to one meter.
At the same time, he released densely packed ice picks, each one as thick as an arm, with extreme cold energy condensed at the tip that could freeze through Super Saiyan 4-level flesh.
Thousands of ice picks were suspended around him, forming a spherical defensive formation.
"Come on! Fighting head-on is what you Saiyan are best at, right?"
Eis Shenron has regained some confidence.
"Then try and see if you can touch one of my fingers before you are frozen into an ice sculpture!"
"Die to me!"
Eis Shenron's face was distorted, and thousands of ice picks shot out at the same time.
This is Eis Shenron's all-out defensive counterattack.
What he was betting on was this: even if Vegeta broke through to Super Saiyan 4 Mid-Level, it would be impossible to dodge them all when faced with thousands of attacks arriving at the same time.
As long as one pierces his body, the extremely cold energy will invade his meridians along the wound, causing his speed to drop again.
At that time, the second round, the third round, the fourth round...
War of attrition is the real strength of Eis Shenron.
The torrent of icicles arrived in front of Vegeta within one second.
Vegeta opened his right palm, facing the swarms of ice picks coming from all directions.
Then he clenched his fists tightly.
"Bang."
There was a muffled sound.
Centered on Vegeta, thousands of ice picks were instantly crushed by the air pressure released when he clenched his fist.
The ice cone turned into debris in mid-air, and finally turned into a fine blue mist, which was blown away by the wind.
Eis Shenron's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.
"It's my turn."
Vegeta disappears instantly.
The next moment, a hand rested on Eis Shenron's left shoulder.
"Look here."
Eis Shenron's head turned around, and Vegeta was standing less than half a meter to his left.
Those golden eyes looked level with him.
"Look," Vegeta's voice was very soft, "I touched it."
Eis Shenron made the fastest decision in his life in this second.
Escape.
Ice Wings slapped with all his strength, and his body turned into a stream of blue light and retreated.
At the same time, he detonated all the Ice Armor on his body, creating an extremely cold blasting field with a radius of 100 meters as a cover.
The blue cold light was overwhelming, and the temperature instantly dropped to the extreme.
The air is frozen directly into a solid state, forming a huge ice wall.
The figure of Eis Shenron moved away from the ice wall at high speed, so fast that it caused a sonic boom.
He looked back to observe as he flew.
The ice wall blocked his sight and Vegeta's figure.
Eis Shenron's heart is beating wildly.
The ice wall is more than ten meters thick.
Even Super Saiyan 4 Mid-Level's Saiyan will take some time to penetrate this wall, which is enough for him to open a distance of more than a thousand kilometers.
As long as we keep distance, hide our aura again, and use the natural advantages of the polar environment to fight guerrillas, this battle will still have to be fought.
The calculation of Eis Shenron is accurate to the second.
It's a pity that he is still a little stupid.
Because Super Saiyan 4 Mid-Level and Vegeta don't need to penetrate that ice wall at all.
"Pop." There was a very light crisp sound.
Eis Shenron Looked down and saw a round hole the size of a fist appeared in the middle of his chest Ice Armor.
Vegeta's fist was pulled out of his Ice Armor.
"What are you running for?"
Only then did Eis Shenron realize that Vegeta had already followed before the ice wall formed.
Or to be more precise, Vegeta was by his side from beginning to end.
"You..." Eis Shenron's lips trembled.
Vegeta Looking at his expression, a little emotion finally appeared in his golden eyes.
So disappointed.
"Tch! Is this the only level?"
Eis Shenron's expression ranged from shock, fear, unwillingness, humiliation, and finally settled on a twisted smile that was almost crazy.
"Okay... ok..."
He laughed angrily, opened his mouth, and forced all the remaining Negative Energy out of his body, pouring it all into the dark blue ice bullet that was forming in his mouth.
This ice bomb is only the size of a fist.
"This is everything to me."
Eis Shenron's voice became hoarse and crazy.
"When this move is released, a thousand miles around will become a dead zone larger than Absolute Zero. You, me, and everything on this land will be frozen into eternal ice sculptures."
"But I don't care."
Eis Shenron's eyes burned with crazy light.
"If you destroy my pride, I will destroy this continent."
Vegeta looked at the ice bullet exuding the breath of death in his mouth and was silent for two seconds.
Then he said something that completely broke Eis Shenron's defense.
"Are you proud?"
Eis Shenron's expression froze.
"You are just a by-product of Dragon Balls, a collection of Negative Energy. You don't even have a name, just a number."
"How dare you talk to me about pride?"
Eis Shenron opened his mouth blankly, with the ice bullet still in it, and for a moment he didn't know whether to spit it out or swallow it.
Vegeta didn't give him any more time to think. He put the five fingers of his right hand together and pointed his fingertips at Eis Shenron's face.
"What you call understanding me is just understanding the Vegeta from the past."
