The bombardment continued for several minutes. Finally, after the terrain where Li Feng stood had been blasted into a crater and the air filled with dust and smoke, Frieza stopped attacking and gasped for breath.
When the dust settled and the smoke cleared, Li Feng was nowhere to be seen.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You fool! My attack must have blasted you to pieces!"
Frieza laughed arrogantly.
As far as he was concerned, Li Feng was all talk. Under his relentless assault, he was sure the man had been blasted down to the last hair.
"What are you laughing at?"
Just as Frieza was reveling in his victory, a cold voice shattered his delusion from behind him.
"What?... Pfft!"
Frieza was horrified. Before he could react, a heavy blow struck the back of his head. His massive skull felt as if it had cracked, and the scenery before his eyes began rushing past.
Li Feng teleported a short distance again, appearing in front of Frieza and landing an uppercut.
The thunderous impact snapped off one of Frieza's grotesque horns.
Before Frieza could scream, Li Feng kicked him in the chest. Frieza's bulky body flew hundreds of meters, smashed through several more small peaks, and embedded itself in the ground once again.
"Ahhh—!"
A hellish scream rose from underground.
"Unforgivable! I'll kill you!"
Boom!
It was hard to tell which roar this was—or how many times Frieza had blasted his way out of the rocks.
Poor Namek. It had once been a beautiful world, but now its surface was a wasteland.
"You want to die? I'll grant your wish!"
"Yaaah—!"
Frieza spat blood. Several of the horns on his head were gone, and his whole body was battered and torn. Yet now he roared in fury.
In an instant, an astonishing aura surged from his body once more.
Purple energy burst forth, and his terrifying presence spread again!
An aura even more terrifying than before made the peaks crumble once more, sending rocks flying!
The sea boiled again, unleashing one tsunami after another. The water churned, and the entire planet trembled once more!
Frieza's power surged again!
"What?! Frieza can still get stronger?"
Piccolo, Gohan, and the others watched from afar, utterly stunned.
"What terrifying power. Frieza really is a monster!"
Goku furrowed his brow, worried that Li Feng might not be able to stand against Frieza now.
"Damn it!"
Vegeta clenched his fist and slammed it helplessly into the ground.
Only now did he realize how truly terrifying Frieza was—and how utterly hopeless it felt. Even in his first form, Frieza could easily wipe out the Saiyan race. And now he could transform, too? Would Vegeta never live to see Frieza die?
"His fourth form? All right, it's time for me to get serious, too."
Li Feng looked completely relaxed, as if Frieza's transformation had no effect on him at all.
"Oh? Li Feng has a trump card of his own?"
Goku looked at Li Feng in surprise.
At the same time, the earthquake on Namek stopped, and the strange phenomena caused by Frieza faded away.
The purple light receded, revealing Frieza.
His once massive, misshapen head had shrunk back to its smooth, compact form. His skin had turned white again, with purple armor-like patches on his head, shoulders, chest, and leg joints.
His face was no longer ugly. Instead, it had become cold and cruel. Two tear-shaped markings ran from his eyelids down to his chin, making him look eerie and terrifying.
Frieza had grown smaller, standing less than five feet three inches tall. Yet now his aura was at its strongest. He hadn't even powered up, but the terrifying pressure still left Goku, Vegeta, and the others trembling in the distance.
"H-how is this possible? That demon got so much stronger after transforming?"
Vegeta spoke with a tremor in his voice.
Just how much stronger could these two get?
"That's incredible! I want to get as strong as Li Feng soon, too!"
Son Goku said excitedly.
"Hmph, not bad, Frieza. You've gotten stronger in this form, too. I wonder how many more forms you can transform into?"
Li Feng teased him.
"Heh heh heh."
Frieza gracefully spread his arms, smiling with confidence.
"This is my final form!"
"Now I'm going to take my time torturing you all to death!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Frieza's chilling laughter rang out.
His tail swished back and forth as he fixed Li Feng with a cold stare.
Li Feng had beaten him repeatedly in his previous forms, putting him through immense physical and mental torment. Now his transformation had healed all his injuries, but the humiliation would never go away!
As the Cosmic Emperor, Frieza had never suffered such indignity from birth until now. He swore he would repay Li Feng a hundredfold for all the pain and humiliation he had inflicted!
"And this tiny form of yours is supposed to scare me?"
Li Feng provoked Frieza again.
He knew that Frieza hated his short stature most of all in this form. In the original Dragon Ball Super, Frieza had even wanted to ask Shenron to make him taller.
Clearly, Li Feng was a master at getting under Frieza's skin.
"You're asking for it!"
At those words, Frieza could no longer keep up his calm act. He charged at Li Feng.
"Hmph!"
Li Feng stamped his foot against the ground. Cracks instantly spread through the earth as he charged at Frieza, too.
A new round of combat began!
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
The two clashed in midair and separated in an instant. All that could be seen was the shockwave created by their collisions.
Their afterimages filled the sky, as if countless people were fighting at once. In truth, it was just the two of them moving at tremendous speed.
Every collision shattered the rocks around them and triggered tsunamis.
Purple and white figures intertwined in the air.
Frieza really is strong. His battle power must be over ten million now.
Li Feng thought to himself.
As he fought Frieza this time, Li Feng could clearly feel that Frieza's speed and strength had increased several times over. More than once, Li Feng had nearly been sent flying.
"Ha ha ha ha! Weren't you so cocky before? How come you're running for your life now?"
Seeing Li Feng fall behind in their fight, Frieza couldn't help taunting him again.
On the surface, Li Feng's battle power was only five million. But his actual battle power wasn't fixed. As he powered up, he could raise it even further!
"Finally, a fight I can really enjoy!"
Li Feng grinned.
The Saiyan blood in his body finally began to boil. His yearning for a powerful opponent and his passion for battle pushed him beyond his limits once more. His battle power rose again, and he punched Frieza flying!
"W-what?!"
Frieza had been looking forward to giving Li Feng a good beating. He never expected Li Feng's battle power to rise again. Caught off guard, he was blasted into a mountain for the Nth time.
Come on, Frieza. Put me under the pressure of death! Let's see if I can become a Super Saiyan when I'm pushed to the brink!
Li Feng was completely consumed by battle!
