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

Chapter 255 Piccolo's Crushing Defeat

Frieza leaped into the air, hovering above it, radiating a chilling killing intent. His eyes burned like two flames of rage as he glared fiercely at Goku and Piccolo, then turned his gaze in the direction Piccolo had come from, where he indeed saw Krillin and Goku.

Frieza roared angrily, "So none of you left! You were all waiting here! What a disgusting bunch!"

Piccolo stood in front of Goku, staring intently at Frieza, and asked anxiously, "Goku, how is it? Is it done yet?"

Sun Wukong was extremely anxious and replied helplessly, "Not yet, not now."

Bick's heart sank. He felt the urgency of the situation and said urgently, "My energy won't last much longer. Hurry up and shoot him!"

Sun Wukong looked grave and shook his head, saying, "No, the energy we've gathered is far from enough to kill him."

Piccolo took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind to die, and slowly flew into the air to face Frieza head-on.

Seeing Piccolo's actions from a distance, Gohan felt a strong sense of unease and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Uncle Piccolo..."

Krillin's expression turned grave, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems Piccolo is going to fight desperately too."

Son Gohan was startled and asked, "What?"

Krillin explained, "I guess Piccolo's sneak attack just now exhausted most of his energy, and now he probably has very little energy left. He's doing this now because he's planning to risk his life to buy time for Goku."

Frieza glanced at Piccolo, a mocking sneer creeping onto his face. He snorted dismissively, "Tsk, another fool overestimating himself. That kid was courting death. What, are you rushing to your death too?"

Piccolo didn't back down at all. His aura suddenly surged, and he retorted in a hard voice, "He is him, and I am me. What he can do, I, Piccolo, can do as well. Open your eyes and watch closely to see just how capable this 'suicidal man' really is!"

"Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan was anxious when he saw Uncle Piccolo leap into the air. Without thinking, he rushed over to fight alongside Piccolo.

"Wait a minute, Gohan!" Krillin called out to Gohan as soon as he saw this.

Gohan abruptly stopped in mid-air, turning to look at Krillin with anxious and confused eyes. Krillin remained silent, his lips pressed tightly together, only slowly shaking his head at Gohan.

Gohan instantly understood Krillin's meaning and could only suppress his impulse.

Krillin silently prayed in his heart, "Goku, you'd better hurry!"

Piccolo roared, instantly conjuring an energy wave in his right hand, which shot towards Frieza like lightning. However, upon striking Frieza, the energy wave scattered instantly, like water hitting a rock. Frieza stood motionless, clearly unharmed.

Frieza, arms crossed and a mocking smile on his face, looked down at Piccolo as if laughing at his overestimation of his abilities. Piccolo, undeterred, roared again, his hands flashing like phantoms, unleashing a barrage of energy waves at Frieza. This onslaught was like a torrential downpour, yet Frieza remained unmoved, allowing all the energy waves to strike him. In an instant, smoke filled the surroundings. Piccolo, panting heavily, his weary figure appearing and disappearing in the smoke, hunched over, staring intently in the direction of the smoke.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Piccolo saw Frieza still with his arms crossed, head tilted, and the mocking expression on his face seemed even more intense.

Suddenly, Frieza vanished in an instant, startling Piccolo. Before he could react, Frieza was already behind him, a hand swiftly reaching out and grabbing Piccolo's shoulder tightly. Piccolo felt a sharp pain shoot through his shoulder and couldn't help but cry out in agony. Frieza then slammed his other hand down hard on Piccolo's back, causing Piccolo to let out another miserable scream, his entire body almost curling into a ball.

Piccolo, enduring the pain, hunched over and looked down at Goku on the ground, shouting with all his might, "Goku, hurry up! Use the Spirit Bomb on him!"

Sun Wukong looked up at the pitiful Piccolo in the sky, his heart filled with anxiety, and he silently lamented, "Shangyun... Piccolo..."

……

On King Kai's planet, Recoome, Geese, Burt, and Guldo are aggressively chasing Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu.

Yamcha, his expression grave, panted heavily as he ran, saying, "These guys are far stronger than Vegeta; they shouldn't be underestimated." Tien Shinhan, who was running alongside him, echoed with lingering fear, "Yeah, no wonder Vegeta was like a monkey being toyed with by them."

Guldo relentlessly pursued Chiaotzu, while Geese and Burt quickly ascended into the air, unleashing a barrage of energy waves that rained down on Tien Shinhan and his companions. Chiaotzu, caught off guard, was struck by one of the energy waves and blasted away like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily at King Kai's feet.

King Kai hurriedly reached out and grabbed Dumpling, urging anxiously, "You lot, don't just think about running away, fight back! Don't just dodge, attack!"

Dumpling looked helpless and said in a tearful voice, "We can't beat them at all!"

King Kai frowned and roared, "Who said you can't win? Don't be cowards, attack!"

Just then, Yamcha, who was being chased and forced back by Recoome, heard King Kai's words and seized the opportunity. The moment Recoome lunged, Yamcha kicked him hard. Recoome couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying by the kick, his head hitting the ground like an upside-down seedling.

This sudden turn of events stunned both sides, bringing the intense chase to an abrupt halt.

Tien Shinhan looked puzzled and muttered, "What's going on? Why are they suddenly so weak?"

Yamcha, slightly out of breath, said with a determined look in his eyes, "It's not that they're weak, it's that we've become stronger after Lord Kai's rigorous training!"

Giss and Bart quickly landed on the ground, each sticking out a foot, and laboriously pulled Licoum out of the ground.

As soon as Recoome's head was pulled out, he shouted, "Very good!" He then performed a graceful somersault in the air, landing steadily on the ground, his eyes fierce as he said, "Now it's my turn to counterattack! Behold my Recoome Special Tactical Charge!" With that, he charged headlong at Yamcha. Yamcha reacted quickly, dodging the attack, and then faced off against Recoome.

"Ginyu Force, Red Lava! Geese!"

"Ginyu Force, Blue Tornado! Batou!"

"Attack!"

Burt and Geese shouted and charged aggressively towards Tien Shinhan. Tien Shinhan stood firmly on the rooftop, quickly crossed his arms, and unleashed the Four Bodies Fist, instantly creating a clone. Two Tien Shinhans appeared on the field, one facing off against Geese and the other against Burt.

Guldo, on the other hand, set his sights on Dumpling. It should be noted that both of them are players with extremely strong mental strength, so this duel is bound to be a special tactical contest.

Just as Guldo was about to use his special abilities to manipulate the situation, Dumpling lowered his head without hesitation and, like a cannonball, rammed headfirst into Guldo.

Meanwhile, King Kai wasn't paying much attention to the battle unfolding before him. His gaze remained fixed on the distant planet Namek, and he muttered to himself, a hint of wistfulness in his expression: "It seems Piccolo has really changed a lot these days. But, is Goku's Spirit Bomb ready yet?" He then looked worried.
