"Aah—! Haa—!" If Ino wanted to enter the Super Otsutsuki state, she similarly needed a process of exploding her full body's energy.
Her hair stood up strand by strand like torches, and golden ki flames wrapped around her body. A pillar of light shot straight into the clouds. Not to mention the residents of the city before her, even a city a hundred miles away felt the massive tremors coming from deep within the earth.
Frost didn't use a spaceship; instead, dragging a long tail of flame, he charged into the atmosphere and landed before her like a meteor.
Ino took out the Hero's Sword, which she hadn't used in some time, pointing the tip diagonally at her opponent.
"Haruno Sakura?"
"Ah? Oh, oh, right, right, that's me."
Frost sized up her expression and let out a burst of fake laughter: "Hehehehe, it seems like a fake name, but it doesn't matter. I still want to ask one more time: are you willing to hand over that Saiyan girl?"
"What do you think?" Ino gripped the sword with both hands, her golden Rinnegan staring at him.
Frost pointed into the distance: "Let's change the battlefield. A hero like you wouldn't want countless innocent people to lose their lives because of your battle, right?"
"Fine." Ino gave a thumbs-up in Kale's direction, then flew into the sky.
They arrived at a desolate mountainous area to the northwest.
It was uninhabited, and likely due to the magma that occasionally erupted from underground, there were very few animals.
Frost abandoned his public disguise, his face full of malevolence.
He kept his legs together and spread his hands, leaving his entire body wide open: "It seems we can't come to an agreement. Your eyes are very magical; I like them very much. Do you mind if I gouge them out for my collection?"
Ino flipped her wrist, accumulating endless gravity upon the sword, and then slashed down with force.
"Gravity Blade: Raging Tiger!"
The gravity slashed out horizontally was invisible and formless, yet it crushed all matter in its path in a bizarre manner.
"What the hell is this?" Frost extended a hand to resist, but his palm was instantly cut with a wound deep enough to see the bone. Realizing he couldn't take this move head-on, he reacted extremely quickly, slamming his tail against the ground to leverage himself high into the air.
"Die!" Ino appeared in the air early on. This time she didn't apply gravity, but instead slashed out a sword strike as fast as lightning.
A sword light flashed before his eyes. Frost raised his hand and fired a Death Beam. Ino flipped in the air to dodge, her long sword slashing sideways with the momentum. He felt a chill on his left hand—two-thirds of his thumb had been sliced off.
"Damn scum! You actually dare to harm my perfect body?" Frost was furious.
Death Beams were fired one after another. Ino dodged left and right, but her shoulder was still hit. She gritted her teeth and retreated, simultaneously throwing the long sword in her hand forcefully toward the sky.
What kind of move is this? Frost subconsciously looked up to see.
Ino instantly appeared behind him, grabbed his round head, and smashed it into the mountain wall beside them. Then, positioning her body parallel to the wall, flames erupted from her feet, propelling her body forward in a fierce rush.
Frost's head collided continuously inside the mountain wall. He roared, flipped his body halfway around, twisted his waist, and raised his leg to kick at Ino's lower abdomen.
Ino let his kick pass, then raised her elbow and smashed it into his chest.
"Wah!" Frost felt his sternum shatter, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot.
His battle power was obviously inferior to Frieza's, and having played the pig for too long, he had slowly turned into a pig himself.
In Ino's eyes, his reaction speed was unusually sluggish.
Frost clenched his teeth, the tail behind him whipping toward Ino's neck like a lash.
"Something's wrong!" Ino prepared to deliver another palm strike to the enemy's neck, but her right eye, the Rinnegan, glanced at the future and found that she would actually fall into a disadvantage in the next second. She immediately changed her move, using repulsion to push her body backward while raising her palm to fire a shockwave at Frost's face, using the impact to open up some distance.
She examined the opponent's tail closely. She couldn't see anything odd, but this tail gave her a very bad premonition.
"Who exactly are you? To actually be this strong..." Frost wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
The two sides had exchanged seven or eight moves. He had already unleashed his full power, yet he still fell into a disadvantage. The opponent's intuition was terrifyingly high; his killing move, which usually turned the tables after he feigned weakness, had been miraculously avoided.
Frost swayed his tail: "What's the matter? Haruno Sakura, why aren't you attacking anymore? Let me guess, you're afraid, right?"
Ino scrutinized him carefully. She really didn't see any problem; it seemed no different from Frieza's tail. Why did she feel it was dangerous, and why did bad images frequently appear in the future fragments?
"Heh, you're right. Haruno Sakura is shivering," she said something completely nonsensical, then burst out with her full speed, instantly closing the distance and landing a right hook on Frost's face.
With a loud boom, the Universe Peace Prize winner's head was knocked to the side by the immense force. His neck stretched to its limit, dragging his body to crash into the mountain wall beside him.
Before he could crawl out of the pile of rubble, Ino flew over, attempting to grab his ankle which was exposed outside the debris. Her hand extended quickly, then retracted with even greater speed as an inconspicuous gleam flashed across Frost's ankle.
"Oh, I finally see it clearly. You bastard, you actually hid poison needles in your tail and ankles?!"
For Ino, since she watched Dragon Ball Z when she was a child and had few entertainment activities back then, a single comic book could be read over and over again, so her memory was relatively deep. Dragon Ball Super was something from her adulthood; putting aside the fragmentation, her impression of it wasn't deep enough.
At this moment, she finally remembered. This Frost seemed to have used poison needles during the Sixth and Seventh Universe Martial Arts Tournament. It seems he even poisoned Vegeta or Son Goku?
"That's truly damn disgusting!" Ino opened up the distance, striking left and right with a barrage of shockwaves like rain to attack the opponent while thinking of a countermeasure.
Frost saw her wariness of his poison needles. While dodging the shockwaves, he shook his wrist, signaling that there were poison needles there too. He said with a sinister smile: "Disgusting? You hero, you're soon going to be killed by this disgusting person, hehehehe!"
He used both his hands and feet, and his tail rose from time to time, stabbing out from incredible angles like a venomous snake.
Facing the gleaming poison needles, Ino attempted to use "Rinnegan: Pressure" or Rinnegan genjutsu to break the deadlock, but unexpectedly, this guy's spiritual power was trained quite well, and he didn't fall for it at all.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Ino pushed the opponent away again. With a hook of her finger, the Hero's Sword returned to her hand. Fists and feet were a bit dangerous; better to hack with the sword!
She had agreed to move away from the battlefield, rather than exposing Frost's true colors in front of everyone, precisely because she was worried the aftershocks of the battle would harm her cheap daughter.
Kale waited bitterly in the room for five minutes. Unable to wait any longer, she pushed the door open and went outside. Looking at the golden pillar of light in the distant sky, she clasped her hands together and prayed continuously: Dad, do your best! You must defeat the bad guy!
