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

Chapter 249 Shang Yun's Plan

Frieza's patience had clearly run out. He watched as Goku continued to raise his hands, making no other move. Frieza turned his gaze to Shang Yun and said viciously, "You brat, I haven't had enough fun with him yet. What, you want to come up here and die now?"

Shang Yun calmly replied, "Frieza, since you haven't had enough fun, let Goku recover a bit before you play again. That way, you can have even more fun too."

Frieza sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? Let him recover? Do you think I don't know about the Saiyans' talent?"

Shang Yun calmly countered, "Oh, then what is King Frieza worried about? Or... are you afraid?"

Frieza sneered again: "Scared? Pshaw, that's a provocation. But your trick actually worked. Fine, I'll give him some time to recover. But the length of his recovery is up to you!" As soon as he finished speaking, Frieza shouted and rushed over like lightning, kicking Shang Yun.

Shang Yun thought to himself, "This is bad!" But he couldn't keep up at all. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already been kicked away by Frieza.

After kicking Shang Yun away, Frieza landed slowly, a disdainful sneer on his face: "Tch, someone like this dares to play mind games with me?" Then, he looked at Sun Wukong again and questioned, "How long are you going to keep this pose?"

Sun Wukong glanced at Shang Yun with concern, ignoring Frieza. Frieza immediately flew into a rage: "Are you mocking me?" he said, raising his foot to kick Sun Wukong.

Just then, Shang Yun flashed back to the center between Frieza and Goku. Wiping the blood from his mouth, he said to Frieza, "Frieza, you promised that your opponent now would be me. I'm not dead yet!"

Frieza abruptly stopped his raised foot, his gaze fixed on Shang Yun, a strange smile appearing on his face. He said, "Very good, very good. You have successfully piqued my interest. You're a bit cunning, but today I'll teach you a lesson. In the face of absolute power, your little schemes are utterly insignificant."

Before he could finish speaking, Frieza kicked out again without warning. This kick carried immense power, and Shang Yun had no time to defend himself before being sent flying once more. His body arced through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

However, Shang Yun did not back down. Just as Frieza was about to make another move, he endured the excruciating pain and staggered back between Frieza and Goku. Blood trickled from the corner of Shang Yun's mouth, but he still smiled at Frieza and provocatively said, "Frieza, is that all you've got?"

But in reality, Shang Yun was anxiously pondering: he had to buy time, but how could he do that to make Frieza…

High in the distance, on the mountain peaks, Gohan watched helplessly as Frieza kicked Koshin Yun away with a powerful kick, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string. Gohan's eyes widened in horror, and he cried out in alarm, "Father!"

Krillin was equally shocked and blurted out, "Shang Yun!" The two were frantic, about to rush towards Frieza. Just then, Piccolo reacted quickly, pressing them down.

"Don't go over there!" Bick's voice was deep but powerful.

Krillin looked puzzled, and Gohan looked equally confused. They both looked at Piccolo at the same time.

Piccolo's expression turned serious as he quickly explained, "Shang Yun is deliberately trying to distract Frieza to buy Goku time."

Krillin said anxiously, "But Shang Yun's strength is far inferior to Frieza's, he can't hold out for long."

“Yes!” Piccolo paused, then reassured him, “But don’t worry too much, that guy’s moves are quite unique. Although his fighting power is not as good as Frieza’s, he does have some unique defensive skills.”

Klin said, "But..."

Piccolo stopped him, saying, "No buts. Shangyun's goal is to buy time. If we rush over now, it might disrupt his plans. Once Frieza realizes our intentions, he will turn his attention to Goku. With Frieza's strength, none of us can withstand his attacks. Not only will we not be able to help, but we will also make all of Goku and Shangyun's previous efforts go to waste, and even put everyone in a more dangerous situation."

Klin hesitated for a moment, tears welling in his eyes, and said with his head down, "Alright, let's just hope he can hold on a little longer."

Son Gohan murmured, "Godfather..."

Frieza was intrigued by Shang Yun's seemingly reckless actions, but when his gaze swept over Shang Yun's meager combat power, disdain surged in his eyes once more. Hmph, such an ant dares to struggle before him? He didn't even bother with a sarcastic remark, instead whipping his long tail like a deadly steel whip, whistling through the air as he lashed out at Shang Yun, the movement as casual as sweeping away an eyesore of trash at his feet.

However, the expected sensation of an object being knocked away did not come. Frieza was startled, his gaze instinctively following his own tail, only to find it empty. He slowly turned his head, his cold eyes searching his surroundings. What trick had this unassuming fellow played?

Just as Frieza was filled with doubt and preparing to expand the search area, a voice sounded leisurely from behind him: "No need to look anymore, I'm here." Frieza turned around abruptly and saw that Shang Yun had appeared behind him like a ghost at some point.

Shang Yun outwardly feigned composure, but inwardly he was frantically calculating: "I absolutely cannot let Frieza search for me everywhere! I just narrowly escaped that attack thanks to my Spirit Escape Technique, but I can't hide too far, and I certainly can't flee into the sky. Once Frieza looks up and sees the Spirit Bomb gathering high in the sky, all my previous efforts, the opportunity that Goku desperately fought for, will instantly vanish. I need to think of a countermeasure quickly; if this drags on, the situation will only get more and more out of control!"

That's right, Shang Yun had just successfully cast the Zen Awakening? Spirit Evasion Technique. At this moment, he discovered that he could seemingly control the casting of the Zen Awakening? Spirit Evasion Technique, and was no longer completely passive.

Frieza glanced back sideways without turning his body, a cold smile playing on his lips. He sneered, "Interesting. You're not very strong, but your moves are quite novel."

Upon hearing this, Shang Yun's eyes lit up. He thought to himself, "Good that you're interested." He quickly said loudly, "This move of mine can be automatically triggered after the body senses danger, allowing me to dodge attacks. So, do you still think you can easily hit me now?"

Frieza scoffed, "How arrogant!" Without turning around, he lashed out with his tail. Shang Yun vanished again, this time appearing to Frieza's left. Frieza's tail lashed out at Shang Yun, relentlessly attacking, but Shang Yun had learned his lesson, maintaining a distance from Frieza and never getting close, staying out of its reach.

Frieza looked at Shang Yun, listening to his slightly heavy breathing, and sneered, "Just as I guessed, your ability seems powerful, but the consumption is equally huge. I'd like to see how many more times you can use it." With that, Frieza turned around to face Shang Yun, pointing his right index finger at him.

Upon seeing this, Shang Yun was immediately shocked and thought to himself, "Is it really necessary to take this so seriously?"

Frieza said coldly, "Do you think you can escape this time?" As soon as he finished speaking, he fired a laser beam from his finger toward Shang Yun.

On the distant mountaintop, Krillin saw Frieza's actions and panicked, shouting, "Shang Yun, danger! Get out of the way!"
