Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 217 Team Battle: First Strike the Backline

The earth returned to calm, the smoke gradually dissipated, and Frieza's figure slowly emerged. Everyone stared at Frieza, momentarily stunned. Sensing Frieza's powerful aura, Krillin trembled and said, "This...this is Frieza's final form? Why has he become so small?"

Bick gritted his teeth and said, "This is a classic example of how appearances can be deceiving. I would rather see his imposing figure from before than see him now."

Piccolo slowly lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, his voice filled with resentment and self-blame, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! You went through countless hardships to come to Namek, and finally found the Dragon Balls to revive me, but now, I am powerless to bring you back safely."

Looking at Piccolo's dejected face, Gohan's eyes were full of concern, and he quickly comforted him softly, "Uncle Piccolo..."

……

On King Kai's planet, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu were focused on their sparring training. Suddenly, they noticed something amiss and turned to look.

King Kai clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly. The three were immediately filled with surprise, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts. King Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, Frieza has finally revealed his final form. Judging from the current situation, even if Goku recovers from his injuries, he probably won't be a match for this guy. If he wants to, he can easily destroy the entire universe. Now there's no way out; we can only leave it to fate."

……

Frieza surveyed the crowd with an indifferent expression. Without warning, he suddenly raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and a laser beam shot out. The energy wave, upon its release, hurtled towards the group like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it bypassed Krillin, then Piccolo, and then directly bypassed Shang Yun, continuing its trajectory without diminishing its momentum. Its speed was so great that almost no one present could react.

Just as the light wave bypassed Shang Yun, Shang Yun suddenly realized something and thought to himself, "Oh no, it's Dandy!"

Almost as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he secretly activated his "Wish-Fulfilling Power," instantly appearing beside Dendy and scooping him up in his arms. However, the laser wave was far too fast; at the same moment Shang Yun picked up Dendy, it had already bypassed Vegeta's figure and was heading straight for Dendy.

At this moment, Vegeta and Dende hadn't reacted yet. Shang Yun watched helplessly as the energy wave rapidly approached, his eyes wide open, and goosebumps stood on end. It was too late to activate "Ruyi Tong" now.

With a deafening roar, a blinding light erupted from the spot where Dandy had been standing, and thick smoke carrying earth and rocks shot into the sky. The crowd snapped out of their daze and turned back in astonishment.

Beads of cold sweat poured down Bick's forehead, rolling down his cheeks. His mind was in turmoil as he thought to himself, "What on earth happened? I didn't notice a thing; I just felt a flash of light pass before my eyes. How could it be so fast? This...this is simply unbelievable!"

Gohan was horrified at the sight, his body trembling uncontrollably. He screamed at the top of his lungs, "Dande!"

Klin's face was filled with fear, and his voice trembled slightly: "Dandy... Dandy was actually killed by him!"

Piccolo's expression was grave, and he said through gritted teeth, "This Frieza must have discovered me when this little Namekian was treating me."

However, when the smoke cleared, all that could be seen was a shocking patch of charred black earth on the ground, and Dandy was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone was frantic and quickly turned to look at Frieza. Frieza, however, calmly looked up at the sky. Following his gaze, everyone's faces lit up with surprise. Indeed, in the sky, Shang Yun was steadily holding Dendy, suspended in mid-air. Dendy, too, was drenched in cold sweat, trembling violently with extreme terror, as if bound by fear and unable to move.

Shang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing: "Thank goodness... thank goodness... luckily, the Zen Awakening Spirit Avoidance Technique is a passive combat skill, which saved my life at the critical moment."

Frieza's lips curled into a sinister smile, his tone laced with disdain and coldness: "It's you again. Your strength is mediocre, but these flashy abilities are truly annoying. It seems that besides this Namekian brat, I'll have to take care of you first."

Frieza remained calm, his icy gaze sweeping over the crowd. He spoke leisurely, "Heh, it's been far too long since anyone has seen me in this form. Originally, I intended to spare this Namekian brat the torment of fear. Now that you've intervened and saved him, you lot, go ahead and savor that fear to your hearts' content! Experience the taste of despair before me!"

Gohan's eyes widened, and he roared deafeningly, "Die!" As soon as the words left his lips, he charged towards Frieza. Krillin and Piccolo exchanged a glance and followed without hesitation, the three of them surrounding Frieza and attacking him together.

Sun Wukong moved like a ghost, his right fist whistling through the air as he aimed straight for Frieza's face. Frieza's lips curled into a contemptuous smile; unperturbed, he simply tilted his head back slightly, and Sun Wukong's powerful punch grazed his nose, missing its mark.

At the same time, Krillin seized the opportunity, leaping high into the air, his right leg sweeping towards Frieza like a sharp battle axe. Frieza remained unhurried, tilting his head slightly, and Krillin's deadly kick missed completely.

Piccolo seized the opportunity to close in, his right elbow taut, slamming down with tremendous force towards Frieza. But Frieza simply tilted his head slightly again, easily dodging Piccolo's swift elbow strike.

The three, having missed their first attack, quickly regained their footing in mid-air, turning back to look at Frieza in shock. Frieza, however, remained calm and composed, as if their attack had been nothing more than child's play. Seeing this, a surge of resentment welled up within the three, their teeth clenched, their eyes filled with determination. They gathered their power once more, launching an even more ferocious combined attack on Frieza. This time, their coordination was even more seamless, their attacks lightning-fast, leaving the attackers breathless. Yet, Frieza remained unperturbed, easily dodging their attacks with a mere twist of his head, his legs firmly planted in mid-air, not budging an inch.

Seeing Frieza so nonchalantly ignore the three's attacks, Piccolo gritted his teeth and soared upwards into the sky. Reaching a certain altitude, he looked down, unleashing a dazzling energy wave with a wave of his hand, followed by a deafening roar that echoed through the heavens: "Die!"

The energy wave hurtled towards Frieza, but Frieza remained calm, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. He slowly rose into the air, easily dodging Piccolo's fierce energy wave.

Krillin looked up at Frieza, who was slowly rising into the sky, and his heart was filled with rage. He roared, "Where do you think you're going!" As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly placed his hands on his waist and pushed out with all his might.

"Kamehameha!"

Son Gohan immediately placed his hand on his forehead, his expression solemn, and shouted, "Demon Flash!" Almost simultaneously, the two unleashed attacks containing enormous energy towards Frieza in the sky.

At this moment, Frieza's eyes were still fixed on Piccolo above him. He seemed completely unaware of the attacks from Krillin and Gohan, or rather, he simply didn't care and let the two energy waves approach rapidly.

"boom!"
