"Is this the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza?"

Son Goku cried out in surprise, his face full of confusion.

Vegeta was equally stunned now. He had never imagined that the infamous, notorious Frieza would look like this.

Seeing Frieza in this state, King Piccolo was so shocked that his face turned green!

"So kawaii!"

"I really want to pinch his cheeks!"

Gohan shouted excitedly.

For some reason, he found the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza, incredibly cute.

"Hmph!"

Frieza had originally stood with his arms folded across his chest, but he suddenly raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at Gohan.

He was now furious, his expression icy.

What he could not stand most was being called "kawaii"!

I, Frieza, the mighty Emperor of the Universe, should be imposing and domineering, yet this little brat actually called me kawaii?

"Zzt!"

A purple beam shot from Frieza's fingertip, flying straight at Gohan.

Though the beam was thin, the energy contained within it was terrifying.

If it struck Gohan, it would be enough to kill him!

"Gohan! Move!"

Son Goku shouted anxiously, his face filled with panic.

"Huh?"

The excited Gohan turned utterly terrified, cold sweat breaking out all over him.

He wanted to dodge Frieza's attack too, but he found that he seemed to be frozen in place and could not move at all!

"Gohan!"

At that moment, a green figure flashed in front of Gohan. It was King Piccolo.

"Just as expected of the 'real father,'" Wu Fei muttered.

"Whoosh!"

Just as the purple beam was about to strike King Piccolo, a figure flickered, and Wu Fei suddenly appeared.

"Smack!"

With a wave of his right hand, Wu Fei knocked the purple beam aside as if it were a ball.

"Rumble!"

The beam struck a distant valley. An explosion rang out, and the valley was reduced to ruins.

"Whew~"

King Piccolo was drenched in cold sweat, his heart still pounding with fear.

If Wu Fei had not stepped in to help in time, he would already have become a corpse.

"Thank you," King Piccolo said.

"It's nothing."

Wu Fei paused, then said with a smile, "Weren't you the Sun family's mortal enemy? Why did you step forward to save Gohan now?"

"Uh..."

King Piccolo's old face reddened. He turned his head aside and said nothing.

"Hahahaha!"

Krillin was first surprised, then confused, and finally burst into excited laughter.

He had never imagined that King Piccolo, who had once been bent on ruling Earth, would take the initiative to save someone, even at the cost of his own life.

"King Piccolo has become a good person. What a huge change," Krillin muttered.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort rang out, sending a chill down Krillin's spine as he laughed excitedly.

His expression stiffened. Turning his head, he found King Piccolo staring at him coldly.

Although King Piccolo said nothing, Krillin already understood what he meant: "Laugh again, and I'll kill you!"

Krillin was still quite wary of King Piccolo. He also knew that not everyone could receive the same treatment as Gohan from him, so he wisely shut his mouth.

"Thank you, Uncle Piccolo, Uncle Wu Fei!" Gohan said gratefully.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu Fei!" Son Goku also walked over to thank him.

"It was nothing!" Wu Fei replied.

In the distance, Frieza watched Wu Fei and the others coldly, his expression deeply displeased.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"What are you doing? You really aren't taking me, the great King, seriously at all!"

With a powerful enemy right before them, they still had the mood to stand there chatting. How was the great King supposed to feel about that?

Frieza's eyes brimmed with killing intent.

Hearing this, Son Goku and the others began to scrutinize Frieza carefully.

"What's going on?"

Son Goku suddenly sensed that something was off.

He noticed that Frieza's aura was remarkably calm, no longer as violent as before. He seemed almost like an ordinary person.

Yet he could also sense terrifying power hidden beneath Frieza's tranquil aura.

Frieza now gave him the same feeling as Wu Fei. He simply could not see through either of their true strength.

"Frieza, your strength has increased even further," Wu Fei said.

Frieza looked smug, his eyes full of pride.

He spread his hands slightly downward and looked confidently at Wu Fei and the others.

"Ho ho ho! Naturally!"

"This is my final form, and of course, it is also the form in which I am at my strongest!"

"Next, I'll let you experience the true terror of the great King!"

"All of you are going to die!"

"Ho ho ho!"

Frieza's cold, eerie laughter echoed continuously through the air.

He looked as though victory was already in his grasp as he stared coldly at Wu Fei.

Wu Fei had beaten him down repeatedly earlier, leaving him severely injured.

Although transforming into his final form had healed his wounds, that humiliation would not disappear.

After all, Frieza had never suffered such a blow in all his life.

He had always been the one beating others up. No one was allowed to harm even a single hair on his head, much less beat him black and blue.

He was an extremely vengeful person. He would repay the pain Wu Fei had inflicted on him a hundredfold!

Purple flames flickered in Frieza's eyes, as if he wanted to devour Wu Fei whole.

Yet Wu Fei was utterly unfazed by Frieza's vicious gaze. He stared straight back at him.

Wu Fei's gaze instead made Frieza's skin crawl. "Damn it! Why do you keep staring at me, the great King?"

Wu Fei nodded, looking quite serious. "Hahaha!"

"I have to admit, Gohan wasn't wrong. Frieza, you really are quite cute right now!"

"For the imposing Emperor of the Universe to look like this... it really is unbelievable!"

Upon hearing Wu Fei's words, Frieza flew into a rage once more.

"You bastard!"

"You're courting death!"

What Frieza hated most was hearing people say that about him.

Even now, he could not understand why his father, King Cold, and his brother, Cooler, were both tall and imposing.

Yet his own final form was small and slight, completely unlike the two of them.

This appearance was severely at odds with his status as the Emperor of the Universe!

Wu Fei had practically ripped open his scar.

Veins bulging as rage surged through him, Frieza could no longer maintain his previous calm composure. He shot forward and rapidly charged at Wu Fei.

Boom!

Wu Fei lowered his body and instantly dashed forward.

"Ah?"

Krillin jumped in fright and hurriedly retreated several steps.

The powerful impact generated the instant Wu Fei launched himself had nearly knocked Krillin over.

Blue-white energy streamed from Wu Fei's body, while purple energy radiated from Frieza.

The two figures closed in continuously, about to collide.

The two were about to begin another round of battle!
