"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep—"

Bang!

In the end, the Scouters exploded completely!

Wukong, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta's power levels had already shot so high they went off the scale.

"Kamehameha!"

"Galick Gun!"

"Masenko!"

"Special Beam Cannon!"

The four of them blasted their signature attacks at the Ginyu Force.

Boom!

In an instant, four mushroom clouds rose up. Mountains collapsed, the earth split apart, and dust and smoke filled the air!

The Ginyu Force was easily taken care of by these four overpowered freaks.

"Haa—"

Gohan wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was his first time on the battlefield and he had managed to defeat an enemy, so he was still extremely nervous and excited inside.

"Hmph, Kakarot, sooner or later I'll surpass you!"

Vegeta said haughtily.

When he powered up just now, he had already realized that Wukong's power level was far above his as well. Since Li Feng was still too distant a goal, he could only defeat Wukong first!

"Heh, is that so, Vegeta? You really are an interesting guy."

Wukong laughed.

"Bastard, how dare you look down on me..."

"This ki... it should be Frieza!"

Li Feng, who had been watching the battle for a long time, instantly sensed an extremely powerful ki approaching from far away.

"Gohan, Piccolo, go collect the remaining Dragon Balls and meet up at the Grand Elder's place. It's extremely dangerous here!"

Li Feng said.

Although Piccolo was unwilling, seeing Li Feng look so serious, and sensing that terrifying aura in the distance, he knew his own power was indeed far inferior. For the sake of the bigger picture, he could only agree and leave with Gohan, taking the Dragon Balls with them.

"What? Frieza is here!"

Vegeta no longer had the attention to care about the Dragon Balls being gathered. The moment he heard Frieza's name, cold sweat broke out all over him.

"Are you insane? You dare fight Frieza?"

Vegeta shouted, trying to cover up the fear in his heart.

That was right. Frieza had always been Vegeta's nightmare.

When Vegeta was young, he had seen his father—King Vegeta—act with utmost deference before Frieza, furious yet not daring to speak.

He remembered one time when King Vegeta had only shown the slightest hint of rebellion, and Frieza had easily stepped on him, stripping him of his dignity.

Frieza's terrifying and powerful figure had been branded deep into his mind, leaving him without the slightest will to resist.

Later, after hearing that Frieza had destroyed Planet Vegeta, Vegeta made up his mind to seek an opportunity for revenge.

But Vegeta only dared to act in the shadows. He did not dare face Frieza directly at all, let alone fight him.

In his view, now was not the time to battle Frieza. At the very least, he would only have a chance after he had gathered the Dragon Balls and become an immortal being.

Even Li Feng was far from being Frieza's match!

"Vegeta, you don't need to worry. Li Feng and I are both very strong."

Wukong comforted him.

"No! Kakarot, you have no idea how terrifying Frieza is!"

Vegeta said fearfully.

"Vegeta, this doesn't seem like you."

Li Feng still had his arms folded.

"Is Frieza strong? It's time to settle the grudge between the Saiyans and Frieza."

"Besides, where can you run now? As long as Frieza doesn't die, none of us can escape. Rather than running, we might as well risk our lives and fight."

After saying that, he flew off in Frieza's direction.

Wukong followed Vegeta as well.

Vegeta's heart was in turmoil.

His reason told him that fighting Frieza was sending himself to his death, but deep inside, his battle lust and desire for revenge still overcame his fear. He decided to face Frieza too.

Whoosh!

A small aircraft trailed flames as it shot toward Li Feng and the others.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Feng looked at the person sitting inside the aircraft and stopped moving forward.

Inside the aircraft, a purple demon leaned back in his seat, the tail behind him swaying lazily, looking utterly at ease.

But Li Feng could deeply sense the terrifying energy within the person before him.

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"

"Vegeta, are these underlings you picked up? Not bad."

Frieza swept his gaze around and found that he only recognized Vegeta.

"Don't joke around, Frieza. This prince came here to defeat you!"

Vegeta overcame the fear in his heart and shouted loudly.

"What?"

Frieza flew into a rage.

"Filthy monkey, do you know the consequences of betraying me?"

"I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Frieza said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Frieza released an astonishing aura.

Cold sweat poured from Vegeta. Facing Frieza's pressure head-on was truly terrifying.

"Hmph!"

Li Feng snorted coldly, walked in front of Vegeta, and blocked Frieza's aura.

He immediately realized that Li Feng was releasing his own aura to resist Frieza.

So powerful!

Vegeta had never expected Li Feng's strength to actually be able to stand against Frieza's!

He turned his head to look at Sun Wukong and found that he, too, was as steady as a mountain, only his expression was grave.

Was he the only one afraid?

No! I am the prince of the Saiyans!

I will absolutely never let anyone surpass me!

Vegeta clenched his fists and desperately resisted.

Hm?

Frieza had originally thought that just using his aura would force Vegeta to collapse to the ground in terror, but he had not expected someone before him to be able to withstand his aura.

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!—"

Frieza's Scouter was jumping.

"Fifty thousand battle power?"

Frieza could not believe it.

Someone with only fifty thousand battle power could actually withstand his aura?

Instead of getting angry, Frieza laughed.

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"

"Interesting. It seems you do indeed have a tiny bit of strength."

"But compared to me, you're still far too lacking."

"Your battle power isn't bad, kid. How about joining my army?"

Frieza extended an olive branch.

"With your battle power, you can join the Ginyu Force and enjoy endless glory and wealth."

Frieza also felt that the young man before him must be hiding something. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to remain so calm before his terrifying aura.

"The Ginyu Force? We just took care of them."

Li Feng said coldly.

"Nani?"

Frieza was shocked again.

He tried contacting the others and found that he indeed could not reach them.

"Hahahaha! Good. Since you can all take care of the Ginyu Force, that means your strength is far above theirs. In that case, form a new special force. I'll allow you to name it yourselves."

Frieza thought his favor would make Li Feng and the others overflow with gratitude. After all, no one could refuse his invitation.

"What I mean is, you're not worthy!"

Li Feng refused.

"What? You dare refuse me?!"

Frieza could not believe it.

"Kid, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. The last person who refused me is already dead."

"I'll torture you properly and make you regret ever coming into this world!"

Frieza's expression turned vicious, and he released an even more powerful aura.

Li Feng's current strength was still far inferior to Frieza's complete form.

But he was gambling—gambling that a Saiyan could surpass his limits in adversity and become a Super Saiyan!

Facing Frieza, the Emperor of the Universe, the Saiyan blood in Li Feng's body boiled once more!

"Ding!"

"Mission: Kill Frieza!"

"Reward: Space-Time Fragment!"
