Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: Giving Lord Frieza a Brutal Beatdown

"Crack, crack!"

Having finally completed his transformation, Frieza took several slow steps forward. His expression was eerily calm as he looked at Qin Yan, but the terrifying malice radiating from his body felt like a descent into the depths of Hell.

"Ohohoho! I've kept you waiting. Behold, this is my full-power state."

Frieza flashed a sinister, bizarre smile. His eyes were cold, and his treacherous, elegant, and demonic laughter carried a spine-chilling charisma. Not a shred of emotion remained in his crimson pupils; he had once again resumed his posture as a high-and-mighty ruler.

"Not bad!"

Qin Yan crossed his arms and smiled slightly, his expression as calm as ever, looking perfectly at ease.

Suddenly, a whirlwind erupted beneath Qin Yan's feet. His body soared into the air before he landed steadily right in front of Frieza.

The two stood eye-to-eye. An invisible pressure radiated from them, causing fierce winds to howl and the clouds to shift violently. The atmosphere turned suffocatingly tense.

"Not bad at all. Your head is quite shiny, and your body seems sturdy enough."

To Frieza's utter shock, Qin Yan reached out and rubbed his head, then began prodding and poking at his small but incredibly muscular frame.

Frieza's face went ice-cold. He didn't immediately move, allowing Qin Yan to mess with him, but a murderous, evil intent erupted from his body. In an instant, the scorching air around them froze to the extreme.

Frieza let out that sinister smile again, radiating a danger as intoxicating as a poppy. His purple lips curled with a freezing chill as he spoke.

"You have quite the nerve! Everyone who has dared to be this disrespectful to me in the past has been personally sent to Hell."

Qin Yan nodded while continuing to inspect Frieza's physique. Frieza's talent was truly immense; he had been born with a power level far exceeding that of ordinary mortals. However,

Frieza had never truly trained a day in his life. He was squandering his talent. If he had actually put in the effort from the start, he wouldn't have needed to compress his power into those smaller, weaker forms.

"Excessive confidence just makes you look arrogant. Not knowing your opponent's true strength only proves your ignorance," Qin Yan said with a smirk.

"You Saiyan brat... you've crossed the line!"

Frieza gave a cold laugh and threw a direct punch at Qin Yan.

Bang!

Qin Yan raised a hand and countered, effortlessly catching Frieza's attack.

The war was triggered. Their powerful auras exploded, and they instantly pushed off to create distance.

They leaped back into the air, engaging in a fierce battle. Fists whistled through the air, the void trembled, and sparks flew with every collision. Their exchange was so intense that the naked eye could barely track their movements.

Suddenly, their figures reappeared in the sky. Frieza extended his right hand, concentrating Ki into his index finger before firing a crimson beam toward Qin Yan. It moved with incredible speed one of Frieza's signature Ki attacks, the Death Beam.

This move could pierce an opponent in a single hit or be used to inflict non-lethal but agonizing wounds. It was lethally dangerous.

Qin Yan felt the power behind it. The energy intensity was roughly around a 60,000,000 Power Level. Quite conservative, he thought.

Qin Yan smiled and reacted instantly, firing a casual light wave to intercept the beam.

Boom!

A massive explosion rocked the sky as the two energy attacks collided.

Seeing his attack blocked, Frieza launched another Death Beam, but this time it was a Death Beam Barrage a rapid-fire version of the move. Purple light waves fired continuously from his fingers.

A dense web of Death Beams rained down on Qin Yan. Qin Yan's figure flickered repeatedly in the air as he dodged the rays. Even if he were hit, he wouldn't be harmed, and he could easily slap the beams away, but he chose to dodge to train his reaction speed and his ability to respond to danger.

Once he felt he'd had enough practice, Qin Yan began swatting away Frieza's Death Beam Barrage with his bare hands. The beams that missed hit the ground, resulting in massive explosions.

Giant mushroom clouds rose into the sky, accompanied by thick smoke. Planet Vegeta shuddered under the impact. Wailing screams echoed from the distance; several beams had clearly struck populated areas.

The planet felt as if a giant dragon were turning in its sleep. Magma erupted from the crust like ten-thousand-foot water columns. In an instant, Planet Vegeta was transformed into a living hell.

"It's over!"

Frieza suddenly stopped his barrage and flickered behind Qin Yan's back.

The previous attacks had been nothing but a feint. Frieza whipped his tail around to strike, but Qin Yan had already seen through the move. He spun around and grabbed Frieza's tail mid-swing.

"Nani?!"

Frieza was aghast. He hadn't expected Qin Yan to react so quickly.

Before Frieza could process what was happening, Qin Yan swung him around twice by the tail and threw him into the distance.

Only after being tossed far away did Frieza regain his senses. He counterattacked immediately, using his telekinetic abilities to manipulate the scorching magma, surrounding Qin Yan before commanding the molten rock to pour down on him in a relentless torrent.

"Hah!"

Qin Yan let out a shout, and his aura exploded outward, instantly blowing away the encroaching magma. Such petty tricks were not even worth mentioning.

In a flash, Qin Yan appeared above Frieza. His gaze narrowed as he unleashed a Kiai Cannon. Frieza was instantly slammed downward by a crushing weight of atmospheric pressure.

He fell toward the ground like a shooting star. Just before impact, he used his immense power to shed the pressure. Amidst a gale of dust and wind, Frieza soared back up, charging toward Qin Yan with blinding speed.

In the blink of an eye, Frieza's smooth head slammed into Qin Yan's abdomen, driving him higher into the air. Although Frieza's attack was powerful, the gap between them was too wide. The strike did absolutely no damage to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan countered with a direct knee strike to Frieza's chest, sending him flying back.

Frieza stabilized himself in mid-air and fired a Ki blast cannon toward Qin Yan.

Watching the massive energy wave approach, Qin Yan's aura surged. Through pure pressure alone, he stopped Frieza's energy wave a full meter in front of him.

Bang!

The energy wave exploded, fire lighting up the sky as smoke billowed.

Qin Yan charged out from the smoke, diving toward Frieza. The two engaged in a brutal, flesh-on-flesh melee.

Punch, punch, punch!

They traded blows in the sky before separating.

Frieza halted his movements. He was covered in minor scrapes and bruises. In contrast, Qin Yan was completely unharmed, looking calm and composed.

Frieza felt the stinging pain in his arms. He stared at Qin Yan with a cold gaze. He truly couldn't imagine how a Saiyan brat could possess such sharp, rapid attacks. This boy was nothing like the primitive, boorish Saiyans he had dealt with before.

"Saiyan brat, you're impressive. I didn't think you could push me this far. But let me tell you, that was only half of my power. Now, I shall use my full strength."

Frieza remained confident. He believed that once he used his maximum power, Qin Yan would be no match for him. He gave Qin Yan a contemptuous smile.

"Oh? Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to seeing what your full power actually looks like."

Qin Yan's dismissive tone infuriated Frieza. He grit his teeth, determined to tear the boy into a thousand pieces.

Lord Frieza began to channel his aura, preparing to push his power to 100%.

A terrifying, sharp white flame erupted around Frieza. Lightning crackled around him as his muscles swelled and bulged. The radiating electricity was filled with endless pressure. This surge of power shook Planet Vegeta and vibrated through the very universe. The inhabitants of the planet were terrified; a battle of this caliber was beyond their imagination.

As Frieza's power skyrocketed, Qin Yan remained unmoved. He wasn't in a hurry. He waited patiently, wanting the "Greatest Emperor of the Universe" to experience the sensation of falling from Heaven to Hell in a single moment.

Qin Yan smiled. He wasn't just going to break Frieza's body; he was going to crush his spirit and make him understand the meaning of despair.

Frieza's ultimate explosion of power released a massive wave of demonic Ki. It reached an unprecedented level of horror. At this moment, his battle power had reached 120,000,000.

Frieza struck instantly. He flickered into existence right in front of Qin Yan, throwing a straightforward, heavy punch aimed directly at Qin Yan's face.

Qin Yan didn't flinch. He caught Frieza's arm with a backhand, neutralizing the attack.

"Nani?!" Frieza's face contorted in horror. He was truly stunned. His full-power strike had been caught as easily as a child's tantrum.

Realizing he was in unprecedented danger, Frieza tried to pull his arm back. But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from Qin Yan's grip.

"What's wrong? Is this all you have? The 'Strongest Emperor of the Universe,' Frieza?"

Qin Yan held Frieza's arm in a vice grip, his lips curling into a mocking sneer.

The title "Strongest Emperor," coming from Qin Yan's mouth, felt like a burning insult to Frieza's ears.

Frieza struggled desperately to withdraw his hand. He put every ounce of strength into the effort, sweating profusely, but he couldn't budge Qin Yan's palm.

"Im... Impossible!"

Frieza panicked. He was utterly terrified. The gap in strength shouldn't be this massive.

"Heh."

Qin Yan gave a contemptuous laugh.

Then, a powerful heavy punch slammed directly into Frieza's abdomen. Frieza coughed up blood and bile. His eyes bulged, and the veins on his forehead popped.

The pain it was unbearable.

After the strike, Qin Yan let go. Frieza felt a brief moment of relief as he clutched his stomach, stumbling backward.

But Qin Yan took a swift step forward and grabbed Frieza by the neck. He slammed a fist into Frieza's face, indenting his cheek. Blood sprayed from Frieza's nose, eyes, and ears.

Qin Yan followed up with a combination of punches. Frieza was beaten so badly he couldn't even fight back. The difference in power was simply too great.

"Aaaaaagh!" Frieza screamed in agony. His heart was filled with grief and rage; this was the first time in his life he had ever been treated like a ragdoll.

Frieza was now black and blue, his face swollen. He had thought that 100% power would be his moment of glory. He never expected it would lead to such a pathetic end. He began to question his entire existence.

With a thud, Frieza was sent flying again.

However, Qin Yan wasn't done with him yet. He wanted to push Frieza into true despair. He charged forward again and unleashed a full set of the *Drunken Eight Immortals*.

*Lü Dongbin: The Drunken Draught's Thousand-Catty Force!*

An uppercut slammed into Frieza's chin, flipping him through the air.

*Iron-Crutch Li: The Drunken Reality of the Knee Strike!*

Qin Yan treated Frieza like a soccer ball, kicking him back and forth through the sky until Frieza didn't know which way was up.

*Zhongli Quan: Stumbling Step, the Heart-Crushing Strike!*

Qin Yan moved with a staggering, unpredictable rhythm, alternating between fists and elbow strikes to Frieza's chest.

*Zhang Guolao: The Drunken Cup Toss, Continuous Kicks!*

Qin Yan launched Frieza upward and then unleashed a flurry of Shadowless Kicks.

*Royal Uncle Cao: The Immortal's Toast, Throat Lock!*

Qin Yan struck Frieza's face with a combined hit, then used a Dragon-Capturing Hand to lock onto Frieza's throat, making him gasp for air.

*Han Xiangzi: Wrist Capture, Drunken Flute Chest Strike!*

Qin Yan gripped Frieza's wrist and arm joints with a grappling hold, then delivered a barrage of Wing Chun chain punches to his chest. Frieza's blood stained the void.

*Immortal Woman He: Swaying Waist, Drunken Step Knee!*

Qin Yan used a hip check to launch Frieza higher, then followed up with "Drunken Swaying Steps," climbing higher with each knee strike to Frieza's waist, knocking him through layers of the sky.

*Lan Caihe: Single Toast, the Waist Lock Slam!*

Qin Yan grabbed the heavily wounded Frieza and executed a power-slam, hurling him toward the earth.

Frieza fell toward the ground like a dying star.

BOOM!

A deafening roar echoed as Frieza slammed into the ground. The impact was like the birth of chaos. The solid crust was shattered by the immense force, as if struck by a meteorite.

A deep, black abyss of a crater was carved into the earth. Smoke billowed as gravel and debris were sent flying like bullets, piercing through anything in their path.

As the dust slowly settled, a massive crater with a diameter of five kilometers appeared on the surface.
