Jiang Ling is Here!

Lightning crackled around the Destruction Ball, the purple sphere brimming with terrifying energy.

Under the impact of Son Goku's Kamehameha, the Destruction Ball pressed down toward Frieza.

It looked like they were about to succeed.

Frieza thrust both hands up.

His tiny body actually held back the terrifying purple Destruction Ball.

His expression twisted, his eyes bulging as if they would split.

"Ahhh!"

Frieza growled, trying to force the Destruction Ball away with both hands, but under Goku's pressure, he couldn't do it.

He could only be pushed down by the Destruction Ball, step by step.

Slowly falling toward the lake below.

"This won't work... If this keeps up, I'll die!"

The fear of death gradually rose in Frieza's heart.

"In that case, I'll just release the seal and return to my original form!"

"Ahhh!!"

Frieza's aura climbed once again.

His aura's rising. He can transform again? Son Goku's heart jolted, and he hurriedly poured even more force into his hands, but the Destruction Ball truly did not budge at all. It even began to press back.

Just then.

A voice rang out.

"Tenfold Kaioken!"

"Kamehameha!!"

Jiang Ling's figure appeared not far away.

The same red aura burned around him.

The aura he was giving off now was no weaker than Goku's.

The red Kamehameha joined with Goku's Kamehameha, forming a massive red dragon that swallowed the Destruction Ball and Frieza in one bite.

It plunged into the depths of the sea.

A violent explosion thundered from beneath the water.

Surging waves towered into the sky.

Most of the water evaporated, while a small portion covered the nearby land, as if a super tsunami had struck.

"Whew—"

Son Goku let out a deep breath, and the red aura around him faded away.

He had used the twelvefold Kaioken just now, and his body was already showing faint signs of being unable to endure it.

"Good thing you made it in time. If Frieza had transformed again, the consequences would've been unthinkable."

Son Goku grinned. "By the way, where did you go? Why did it take you so long to get here?"

"I went to deal with Frieza's men. Took a little longer than expected, but at least I made it in time."

Jiang Ling smiled.

But he felt a little puzzled.

Was Frieza really that easy to kill?

He carefully sensed around and indeed found that Frieza's aura was gone.

Seawater rained down from the sky onto both their faces and bodies.

It made everything feel incomparably real.

But at that very moment, a sudden change erupted.

A powerful force burst out.

A black shadow shot up from below and slammed straight into Son Goku!

Bang!

Goku instantly coughed blood, his entire body flying sideways, smashing through mountain after mountain before finally being buried beneath rubble.

"Goku!"

Jiang Ling shouted, then snapped his gaze toward the black shadow.

"Frieza! You're not dead!"

Frieza's body was no longer the ugly, alien shape from before. It had become streamlined, simple, and elegant.

Even his small face had become more delicate and feminine.

"Ho ho ho."

"I thought I was dead just now, too."

"Now this king is in his Perfect Form. Are you ready? Ho ho ho."

As he spoke, Frieza laughed again.

His expression grew even more arrogant.

Until he saw the thing dangling around Jiang Ling's waist... no, damn it, his tail!

"You... you're a Saiyan?"

Jiang Ling smiled faintly and neither confirmed nor denied it.

Frieza narrowed his eyes, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth. "Looks like when I wiped out the Saiyans back then, a few fish still slipped through the net."

"Then today I might as well clean you all up, so I won't have to be annoyed by you monkeys in the future."

Jiang Ling was just about to speak when an energy blast suddenly shot over from behind.

Perhaps because he disdained dodging, the energy blast struck Frieza head-on.

It went off with a loud boom.

Unfortunately, it was all thunder and no rain. Frieza was perfectly unharmed, without so much as a hair damaged.

Turning to look, the one who had fired the energy blast was Vegeta, who had just arrived.

His chest heaved violently, and his fists were clenched tight.

"Frieza, although I already learned the whole story from Dodoria, hearing you say it with your own mouth... right now, I want to strangle you myself!"

The moment he finished speaking, Vegeta unleashed all his strength and charged straight at him.

"Oh my, oh my, isn't this my adorable little Vegeta? What's the matter?"

Frieza smiled gently.

He looked at Vegeta, who was still only halfway there, and felt his speed was a little slow.

He raised a hand and lightly tapped with his fingertip.

A laser shot out.

Whoosh!

It pierced straight through Vegeta's chest.

All of this happened in an instant. Jiang Ling wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"Ugh... ngh..."

Vegeta glanced at his pierced chest and fell to the ground.

He smiled self-mockingly.

"I really overestimated myself. I could clearly have hidden off to the side..."

Vegeta glanced at Jiang Ling, who had come to his side, and spoke weakly.

"Ugh... Jiang... Jiang Ling, Frieza fears... fears the legendary Saiyan most. In my eyes, you are the legendary Saiyan."

"I... beg you, can you kill Frieza and avenge the Saiyans..."

After Vegeta finished speaking, his head tilted to the side, and he died.

Jiang Ling: "..."

He sighed.

"Being weak is the original sin. Rest in peace."

Frieza crossed his arms over his chest, looking rather bored. "Are you finally done? Getting hit in the heart and still having so much to say—how hilarious."

The wind swept past with yellow sand.

The two faced each other.

Neither spoke.

"AAAAAAAH!!"

Jiang Ling was the first to break the silent atmosphere.

He flared his aura directly.

His aura took on a deep red color.

It looked incomparably bewitching.

The soaring aura filled the sky with vast red light.

It was as though the end of the world had arrived.

"Fifteen-times Kaioken!"

Jiang Ling let out a low shout.

He knew full well that fifteen times was already the upper limit of what his body could bear. It wasn't that he couldn't use twenty times or even twenty-five times; it was just that once he did, it would be hard to say whether he would win the battle first, or his body would collapse first.

Jiang Ling moved.

Like a red meteor, he charged straight in.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Frieza, his head slamming into Frieza's body.

Bang—

Frieza staggered back several steps, spitting out a mouthful of dust. "Hiss— that hurts!"

"How can this be?! I'm already in my perfect form, yet this Saiyan monkey still has enough power to hurt me!"

Frieza had no time to be shocked. Jiang Ling attacked again!

His fists turned into a storm of violent blows, raining down on Frieza's body.

Every strike carried his full strength, and every punch struck flesh!

Bang bang bang bang!!

For a moment, Frieza actually couldn't fight back and was forced into taking a beating.

At last, he seized an opening.

He ducked his head, bent his legs, raised an arm sideways to block, then whipped his tail back in a counterattack, striking Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling retreated a few steps. He did not advance again, but instead looked at Frieza and burst into loud laughter.

Frieza at this moment...

His entire body was covered in wounds of all sizes, and his face was unmistakably bruised and swollen.
