Looking at the shocked Cell, Wang Shen gave a wicked smile.
"If that's the extent of your attack, then you'll be joining Piccolo in the grave today. Even your Perfect Form won't save you."
Cell's heart hammered against his ribs, his eye twitching.
His near-full-power punch had been caught in the palm of Wang Shen's hand as if it had vanished into an endless abyss, failing to produce any of the intended effects.
Wang Shen gripped Cell's fist tightly, refusing to let him break free.
He wanted to see if Cell would be willing to sever his own arm to survive.
Just as Wang Shen was about to mock him to provoke a reaction, his eyes suddenly widened.
Cell had condensed a ki blast in his other hand!
Wang Shen extended his own free hand, blocking the blast before Cell could detonate it at point-blank range.
The ki blast flickered between their palms, struggling to detonate.
For a moment, the two remained locked in a stalemate, pitting their strength against one another.
The ground beneath their feet began to cave in, spiderweb cracks spreading outward as it failed to withstand the force of their struggle.
Boom!
Finally, the ground gave way entirely, collapsing under the pressure.
Wang Shen seized the momentum to soar into the sky.
Cell followed closely behind, firing a constant barrage of ki blasts from behind, which Wang Shen dodged from time to time.
The scene looked as if Wang Shen were fleeing while Cell pursued him.
After dodging one ki blast after another, Wang Shen looked down.
He saw that in this so-called pursuit, Cell had actually become excited, firing an endless stream of ki blasts from his hands.
Wang Shen let out a helpless, cold laugh.
Although a Super Saiyan 2-level Cell did require him to take things seriously given his current Full Power state, it wasn't enough to justify Cell's arrogance.
It seemed his tail had grown back, and he had already forgotten the pain of the past.
Wang Shen placed two fingers to his forehead, and in the next second, his figure vanished instantly from Cell's field of vision.
"Huh! Instant Transmission!"
Cell stopped, alert, guarding against a sneak attack from Wang Shen.
Whoosh!
Wang Shen appeared abruptly behind Cell, aiming a kick at his head.
But to his surprise, Cell had been prepared for this; he quickly raised his arm, barely managing to block Wang Shen's attack.
Wang Shen raised an eyebrow.
Since he had started his journey, this was the first time an attack of his had failed.
Seeing Wang Shen's surprise, Cell gave a mocking smile, though he kept his arm hidden behind his back, trembling uncontrollably.
However, Cell's small movements could not escape Wang Shen's notice.
"Nice block!" Wang Shen said with a sarcastic tone.
"Don't get cocky! I've already seen through your moves!" Cell gritted out.
Green light erupted from Cell's eyes, and a golden aura similar to a Super Saiyan exploded around his body, his presence becoming overwhelming.
"Once I kill you, Android 17 and Android 18 will be mine for the taking! By then, no one in this world will be able to stop me! In any timeline!"
Wang Shen smiled faintly.
Young man, you are still too naive.
You don't know that there is always a heaven beyond heaven, and a god beyond men!
Puff!
Facing Cell at his full power, Wang Shen had no choice but to get serious.
A golden aura ignited around him as well, surging high, its color deepening in intensity.
Wang Shen's eyes were like cold lightning, his pressure mounting as rolling waves of energy crashed against Cell's "feeble" aura.
The clouds for a hundred miles around were scattered by Wang Shen's power, instantly clearing the sky.
"Since you want to defeat me so badly, I'll give you that chance."
"I will fight you using only my Full Power form. Make sure you cherish this, your only opportunity."
Wang Shen's gaze was sharp, his golden hair dancing wildly as he stood between heaven and earth, stirring up a tempest that changed the very clouds!
Feeling the soul-shaking might of Wang Shen at such close range, Cell felt a tremor in his heart and clenched his fists tight.
He remembered the scene from a few days ago, when he was still weak, watching Wang Shen from afar, suppressing himself with all his might, not daring to leak even a sliver of his aura.
Cell gritted his teeth and snarled:
"Stop putting on a show, if you want to fight, then fight!"
With those words, Cell lunged forward, engaging Wang Shen in intense close-quarters combat!
Wang Shen threw a punch and charged, the two colliding with a thunderous impact.
Cell's desire to attack was incredibly fierce, utilizing every part of his body to launch a frenzied assault against Wang Shen.
Wang Shen did not say another word, responding calmly, each punch and kick emitting a deafening roar.
The sheer magnitude of their strength was evident!
Bang!
The shockwaves of their battle swept out in all directions, as if the very heavens and earth were trembling.
A brilliant light flashed in Wang Shen's eyes; he threw a sudden punch, wrapped in golden ki, which struck Cell squarely in the abdomen.
Cell's offensive was interrupted, and Wang Shen kicked him flying.
Following this, his figure flickered, speeding to keep up, and a flurry of fierce attacks landed on the still-recovering Cell.
Cell's body buckled rapidly, with fist prints and footprints appearing all over his frame.
Cell let out a cry of agony.
Wang Shen delivered a final high roundhouse kick, sending Cell crashing back to the ground like a falling meteorite, smashing a human-shaped crater into the earth!
High in the sky, Wang Shen's expression remained indifferent; he extended his palm, condensed an energy sphere, and fired it.
Instantly, a mountain collapsed, completely burying the crater.
Dust filled the air, and boulders tumbled down.
From the spot where Cell was buried, a thick blue beam of light suddenly erupted.
Kamehameha!
The impact of the energy blasted through all obstacles, shooting straight into the sky.
"Full Power Destruction Beam!"
Wang Shen gathered energy in both hands and fired a blast of power, the scorching heat causing the very space to warp.
Boom!
The massive energy generated by the collision of the two powerful forces exploded, turning everything in the vicinity into dust!
The energy dissipated!
Cell rocketed into the sky, throwing a punch charged with power that whistled through the air, friction igniting flames around his fist.
Wang Shen threw a punch in haste to counter, his body shuddering as a massive force struck him; he took the momentum to fly backward, creating distance.
Cell laughed hideously, and in the blink of an eye, fired several more ki blasts.
Wang Shen remained composed; his palms turned into blades, and he slashed out several energy waves, seeing Cell rushing toward him.
Wang Shen flickered, appearing behind Cell, and just as he was about to attack, he saw that Cell had also vanished.
Wang Shen's mind stirred, and he disappeared once more.
In another direction, the two suddenly reappeared, and after trading a punch, they vanished again.
The two began a contest of speed.
Cell shifted repeatedly, and Wang Shen followed with flashes of his own; their figures appeared and disappeared, with ripples of their clashes manifesting out of thin air.
Cell flashed toward the distance, and before long, the two appeared above a city.
After another collision, the shockwaves spread, slicing through the city's skyscrapers.
Countless people began to scream in terror, fleeing in every direction.
Cell gave a cold, sinister smile and dove rapidly toward the city below, ignoring Wang Shen's pursuit entirely.
A surge of movement occurred behind Cell; his previously severed tail had regenerated, extending rapidly to over ten meters in length, lashing out toward a woman below who was frozen in place with fear.
He had lured Wang Shen to this city on purpose.
The battle with Wang Shen was too grueling; he needed to absorb energy!
"You wish!"
A ball of golden light gathered in Wang Shen's hand, transforming into a Golden Ki Sword.
Wang Shen swung his arm, and the ki sword instantly morphed into a blade of light dozens of meters long, slicing through Cell's body at the waist!
"Ahhh! Wang Shen!"
A piercing pain struck his heart; Cell was left with only his upper body floating in the air, green blood pouring down like a waterfall.
The agony of being dismembered twisted Cell's face into a hideous mask, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks.
It was clear from his clenched teeth that he wanted nothing more than to skin Wang Shen alive.
Wang Shen held his arm steady, his lightsaber thrusting straight toward Cell's face, completely indifferent to the carnage surrounding them.
"You brought this on yourself!"
Pfft!
Consumed by rage, Cell spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes webbed with crimson veins.
"You deserve to die! Damn you!"
Wang Shen sneered, and just as he was about to speak, he looked up into the distance.
Two figures radiating golden light were streaking toward them, leaving long arcs in their wake.
Vegeta, Trunks!
Wang Shen murmured softly, casting a meaningful glance at Cell, who was quietly attempting to regenerate.
