Still Unharmed?

Li Lin felt the diametrically opposed atmospheres of the two sides and felt a slight sense of awkwardness in his heart.

Because he was standing right in the middle of the two groups, he found himself in a position where neither advancing nor retreating was an option.

He could only stand foolishly in place, maintaining an awkward smile.

"Oh?" Frieza naturally noticed Li Lin, his brow furrowing slightly as he slowly raised a finger and said, "Then let's start with you."

It was the first time he had seen someone who wasn't afraid in his presence, but could actually smile instead.

People like this made him feel very uncomfortable, and since it was uncomfortable, he could only send them to their deaths.

Li Lin watched as Frieza pointed at him, his mouth slightly agape; he hadn't expected to be the first target for the slaughter.

At that moment, his expression involuntarily turned panicked.

Although he possessed the strength of a Super Saiyan 2, he had no idea how to use it; he didn't know how to mobilize the power within his body at all!

"Hey, hurry up and dodge!"

Seeing this scene, Krillin hurriedly shouted a warning.

His heart was still relatively kind, and seeing a vibrant life about to perish right before his eyes, he couldn't bear it.

"Hmph, idiot!"

Vegeta frowned as he glanced at Li Lin and cursed under his breath.

Clearly, he took Li Lin for an ordinary Earthling with absolutely no combat power.

He wondered to himself why the humans on this planet were so foolish.

Upon seeing such a scene, shouldn't the first reaction be to run away?

How could he have stood there blankly for so long? Now it was too late, and he would have to pay the price for his own stupidity.

Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and the others shook their heads helplessly as they witnessed this.

Although they desperately wanted to save the young man, their strength simply didn't allow for it.

If they rushed forward, they would likely just end up dying right along with him!

"Huh?"

Hearing Krillin's shout, Li Lin snapped out of his daze and immediately tried to dodge.

After all, he hadn't undergone any systematic training and still didn't know how to unleash his own power.

If he were to die before even putting up a fight, how frustrating would that be!

However, even if he wanted to dodge now, it was already too late.

"Heh!" Frieza smiled cruelly, a purple flash suddenly igniting at his fingertip.

"Whoosh!"

A straight purple beam suddenly erupted, firing directly toward Li Lin's body.

"Ah!" Watching the destructive purple light hurtling toward him, Li Lin widened his eyes and let out a terrified scream.

At the same time, as the beam was about to strike him, he ducked his head and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Boom!"

An explosion suddenly rang out, and plumes of smoke slowly rose into the air.

The spot where Li Lin had been standing was now engulfed in thick smoke.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Krillin cursed in righteous indignation.

The others couldn't help but feel a sense of shared grief.

Although they didn't know Li Lin, they feared their own fates would likely be the same.

Sure enough, seeing that his strike had hit, Frieza smiled and licked his lips.

"Heh!" He immediately turned his gaze back to Vegeta and the others. "Next, it's your turn."

Looking into Frieza's cruel and eerie eyes, everyone couldn't help but shiver.

Krillin, who had been somewhat angry, felt the icy killing intent, and his anger was instantly replaced by fear.

His entire body involuntarily took a few steps back.

"All of you, go to hell!"

A strange light flickered in Frieza's eyes as a purple energy sphere appeared in his hand.

Seeing this, everyone braced themselves, assuming their combat stances.

However, just as Frieza was about to strike and wipe them out, King Cold's voice interrupted him. "Frieza, wait a moment!"

Hearing the voice, Frieza frowned slightly, appearing somewhat displeased.

But he still ceased his attack, turned his head, and asked indifferently, "What is it, Father?"

King Cold did not look at Frieza, but kept his eyes fixed on the area where the explosion had occurred.

Frieza watched his father's gaze, casting his own eyes over in confusion.

Seeing Frieza cease his assault, the people on Earth finally let out a collective sigh of relief.

At the same time, they also turned their gazes toward the scene, curious as to what could have possibly made Frieza stop his attack.

Under the curious eyes of the crowd, a calm voice suddenly rang out, "That was close, really close. You almost killed me."

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Li Lin, who had been struck by the attack earlier, was revealed.

This sudden turn of events caused Frieza's pupils to constrict violently.

It wasn't just Frieza; the various powerhouses on Earth were also slightly stunned by what was unfolding before them.

"This guy is actually unharmed?"

Krillin said, unable to believe his eyes.

Not just him, even Vegeta was somewhat taken aback.

Someone on Earth had taken a direct hit from Frieza and remained completely unscathed.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he likely wouldn't have believed it either.
