Frieza slowly approached Ji Yun and said coolly, "I never expected to run into a strong opponent like you. What a surprise. It'd be a shame to kill you!"
"Please, King Frieza, don't hold back on my account. Look at how pathetic you are. What gives you the nerve to say that?"
Ji Yun smiled faintly as he spoke to Frieza.
Of course he knew Frieza still had plenty of power he hadn't used.
But so what if he used it? Ji Yun hadn't fought at full strength either.
"I knew you'd say that. Still, it's no surprise. People who can't recognize the situation they're in can only end up dead!"
Frieza's calm expression slowly turned cold.
"Good. Let's see who's the one who can't recognize the situation!"
Ji Yun smiled confidently.
Frieza had no idea how strong Ji Yun really was.
But Ji Yun knew Frieza's strength inside and out. Without absolute confidence, Frieza wouldn't even get the chance to transform.
He'd be dead already.
"Still as arrogant as ever. You'll soon find out why I said that!"
After saying this, Frieza smiled as if it were nothing.
At the same time, he held up five fingers toward Ji Yun.
"Fifty percent of my power. I only need fifty percent to make you, you ignorant fool, disappear for good!"
Frieza spoke with a look of disdain.
Fifty percent of his power meant a battle power of sixty million.
No matter how strong this man was, he couldn't possibly exceed that.
"Fifty percent? Why not one hundred?"
Ji Yun asked in return, mulling things over.
A battle power of sixty million was indeed a bit troublesome. His own was only sixteen million right now.
If he wanted another crushing victory, he'd have to use Kaio-ken.
"One hundred percent? You think far too highly of yourself. Fifty percent is more than enough to deal with trash like you!"
Frieza said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking,
Frieza suddenly unleashed an even more powerful aura.
The blood in his body surged faster, and powerful currents of air swirled around him.
In that instant, a dazzling array of colors flashed in Frieza's eyes.
In just a few breaths, he released all that power, reaching a terrifying level.
"H-his power's increasing again!"
Goku watched the battlefield nervously.
He couldn't imagine how much more these two monsters could shock him.
Piccolo was completely dumbfounded.
Good grief, that was incredible!
He couldn't even begin to imagine a power that terrifying.
"Ho ho ho, sixty million. Impressive."
Ji Yun's expression finally changed.
That astonishing aura wasn't something just anyone could withstand.
His battle power was only sixteen million, nowhere near enough to hold back that force.
In an instant, he felt immense pressure coming from Frieza.
Frieza had noticed the change in Ji Yun's expression after releasing his power.
"What's wrong, boy? Scared already?"
"But even if you get down on your knees and beg for mercy now, you can't save your life."
Frieza spoke smugly.
He was very pleased with the look on Ji Yun's face, even if it had lasted only an instant.
Hearing Frieza's words, Ji Yun didn't immediately answer.
Frieza did have some power.
Sixty million battle power really wasn't much by the later stages of Dragon Ball.
Even at full power, with one hundred and twenty million, he'd be no more than a one-punch knockout!
But at this point in time, Frieza was undoubtedly the strongest being around.
Too bad for him, he'd run into Ji Yun, who was even more of a monster.
"I wouldn't say I'm scared. Just a little surprised."
Ji Yun shrugged and replied casually.
"Putting on an act. You still dare to run your mouth? I'll show you what happens!"
Frieza sneered coldly.
He thought Ji Yun was just bluffing, unwilling to lose face.
The moment his words fell,
Frieza's body vanished with a whoosh!
Bang!
The next second, the sound of a collision rang across the sky.
Frieza moved so fast that before anyone could see what had happened, Ji Yun was sent flying.
He smashed through two nearby mountains before finally coming to a staggering stop.
"Pfft! Ptui!"
Ji Yun had a mouthful of gravel and sand, and hurriedly spat it out.
"That's not fair! I wasn't ready yet, and you sneak-attacked me!"
Ji Yun stretched his limbs and complained.
But his eyes were shining with excitement, and every cell in his body had come alive.
It was as if this excitement had traveled from deep within his genes to his brain.
Maybe that was the effect of his Saiyan bloodline.
"Five times! Kaio-ken!"
Ji Yun clenched both fists and shouted.
A moment later, red energy burst from his body, enveloping him completely.
The gravel and dust at his feet were blown away in every direction.
Ji Yun's battle power had now reached eighty million.
That was a full twenty million higher than Frieza's, and his aura once again overwhelmed Frieza's.
"Th-that's Kaio-ken?"
"How does Ji Yun know that move?"
Goku was startled, wondering to himself.
It was a technique he'd worked so hard to learn from King Kai.
Seeing Ji Yun suddenly use it took him by surprise.
"Looks like your power has increased a little too. But against absolute strength, it's all futile!"
Frieza spoke in a chilling tone.
He couldn't sense ki, but from Ji Yun's state, it was obvious he was much stronger than before.
"Is that so? Then let's find out!"
Ji Yun's lips curled upward as he shot forward.
"Tch, is that all you've got?"
Frieza said disdainfully.
He darted forward as well.
Clang!
Their figures collided in midair like shooting stars.
Terrifying energy erupted around them, and even space seemed to twist.
At the same time, the ground split apart, and the rocks suddenly exploded without warning.
They crumbled into clouds of fine dust.
In the violent clash,
Frieza's body was sent flying. His face scraped across the ground as he slid for dozens of meters before finally coming to a stop.
Ji Yun, by contrast, stood firm as a mountain, completely unaffected.
Clearly, Ji Yun had gained a huge advantage in that collision.
After all, a twenty-million difference in battle power was no small thing.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Frieza slowly rose to one knee, his face twisted with fury as he clenched his fists and pounded the ground.
The entire planet shook.
He couldn't understand why his full-force attack, using half his power, hadn't killed this guy.
Instead, he'd been sent flying. It was completely beyond his imagination.
What kind of monster was this guy?
