Shadao leaped into the distance, quickly adjusting his Ki before the two aliens could react.

A moment later, the two aliens opened their eyes and looked over the calm battlefield. Shaz asked strangely, "Where did Ram go?" Unable to spot Ram, Shaz habitually pressed the scouter by his ear. Beep, beep, beep. The scouter let out a string of sounds that gave Shaz a fright. He shouted, "What? Ram is dead?"

"What did you say, Boss? Ram is dead? How is that possible? It's only been a moment. How could he have died? Besides, Ram's Battle Power was higher than that brat's." The medium-built alien asked in disbelief.

Both of them thought the scouters had malfunctioned, so they pressed them at the same time. Yet the information they received was identical. All information regarding Ram had completely vanished. Wary, they checked Shadao's Battle Power again. Beep:

Shadao: Battle Power 650

Seeing the Battle Power of 650, Shaz let out a huge sigh of relief. It seemed the scouter was not broken. That brat's Battle Power had weakened after the last fight. "I don't know what happened, but Ram actually died at his hands. Ram must have gotten too used to enjoying himself, letting his Battle Power decline until that brat successfully ambushed him."

The medium-built alien glanced at Shaz and asked, "Boss, what do we do next?"

Shaz said viciously, "Billy! Let's take him down together!"

The two pressed their scouters again, trying to locate Shadao. Billy shouted, "Boss, he's behind that rock!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Kill him!" With that, Shaz shot toward Shadao at top speed. Shadao pressed himself tightly against the rock, sensing the two men's Ki. When Shaz swept over his head, Shadao hurriedly kicked at Shaz's chin. Shaz was caught off guard and took the blow head-on, flying upward.

Having succeeded in his sneak attack, Shadao immediately retreated. He knew very well that he would have a hard time winning in a direct fight against the two of them, but his speed far surpassed theirs. That was his greatest advantage.

Shaz twisted his body and came to a stop in midair. Wiping his mouth, he said angrily, "Damn it!"

At that moment, Billy reached his boss's side and asked, "Boss, are you all right?"

Watching Shadao dart around nimbly, Shaz said, "Flank him from both sides. He's too fast."

"Yes, Boss!" The two men moved to surround Shadao. Seeing their intent to encircle him, Shadao hurriedly retreated as well. If they caught him in a pincer attack, things would become extremely dangerous. Looking into the distance, Shadao spotted a massive rock. Perhaps he could fight them head-on with his back against it.

With that thought, Shadao sped up again and flew toward the rock ahead.

Though Krillin had not joined the battle directly, he had been watching the battlefield the whole time. With a Battle Power of 380,000, there was no chance of any accident! When Krillin saw Shadao flying toward the huge rock, he immediately saw through Shadao's plan and thought even more highly of him. As expected, real combat is what tempers people. Even just watching from the sidelines has given me some things to consider. If I were in his position, could I stay as composed as Shadao while dealing with the enemy? After all, observers see more clearly and can naturally understand both sides' tactics.

After flying behind the rock, Shadao turned to face the two aliens.

Seeing that Shadao had nowhere left to retreat, the two aliens jeered happily, "Run! Go on, run if you can!" However, both of them were breathing heavily as they spoke.

Shadao assumed a fighting stance. The two aliens did not hesitate and attacked him together.

In close combat, blows flew back and forth. Both aliens had Battle Power similar to Shadao's, while Shaz's was even 200 points higher than his. Before long, Shadao was forced onto the defensive, protecting his vital points.

Seeing that Shadao was only defending, the two aliens were overjoyed and stepped up their assault. Shadao was carelessly struck in the abdomen by Shaz's fist, creating a gap in his defense. He was immediately sent flying, crashing into the massive rock and becoming wedged inside it, unable to move for the moment.

Shaz and Billy exchanged glances and nodded. Together, they fired a powerful Kamehameha at Shadao.

A wave of helplessness washed over Shadao. I was still too overconfident. This is the end. He could not help shouting, "Lord Krillin, save me!"

Krillin smiled slightly. "That's all it took? As expected, the gap in Battle Power is still difficult to overcome. Shadao's defense was also somewhat disordered just now. When facing such a desperate situation, offense is the best defense."

Without pausing, Krillin casually fired a Kamehameha with his left hand, knocking the two men's Kamehameha back at them.

Seeing their Energy Blast sent back, the two aliens' faces went pale in shock. "There's someone else?" Shaz hurriedly used his scouter to scan the area, but Krillin had concealed most of his Ki. Shaz could only detect a life energy behind them, not its specific Battle Power. The scouter was an old model and was not that advanced yet.

Still, the two of them were afraid. That had been a Kamehameha launched by both of them together, yet someone had knocked it back so easily. That person had to have a Battle Power of at least 2,000. Shaz became hesitant.

Shadao slowly climbed down from the rock. Looking at the Kamehameha from earlier, he was overjoyed. Lord Krillin truly was unfathomable!

Shadao assumed his fighting stance again and shouted at the two aliens, "Hey! Come again!"

Before the two could reply, Shadao flew at them at high speed. He completely changed his previous fighting style and began attacking without regard for his life. Shaz and Billy were frightened. This time, they did not dare fight Shadao at full strength. If another Kamehameha suddenly came from behind them, they would be finished.

One side attacked with everything he had, while the other two fought timidly. The difference in the battle was immediately apparent. For a time, Shadao held the advantage, beating the two men back step by step.

Although Shadao had gained the offensive advantage, it would still be difficult to win quickly. As the attacker, his stamina would certainly drain faster than theirs. Growing anxious, Shadao noticed Billy searching for openings in his defense from time to time, and a bold idea arose in his heart.

Shadao was relentlessly attacking the two when he suddenly appeared to be running out of stamina. Billy inwardly smiled. After so many battles, you've finally run out of strength! Billy abruptly increased the speed of his assault. When Shaz saw Billy launch such a fierce attack, he failed to keep up. The battlefield was immediately divided, as Billy seized the initiative and left Shaz behind. In an instant, it became a fight between Shadao and Billy.

Seeing this, Shadao knew his chance had come. If he waited for Shaz to catch up, he would never get such a good opportunity again. Shadao let out a roar, gathering his Ki once more. One hand accelerated his attacks while the other condensed Ki. Suddenly, Shadao fired the Kamehameha gathered in his hand at Billy. The distance was too short. Billy tried to fire an Energy Blast back, but it was too late. Just as energy began gathering in his hand, Shadao's Kamehameha had already reached him.

Seeing the Kamehameha flying toward Billy, Shaz cried out, "Not good!" He hurriedly condensed a Ki Blast in his hand and fired it at Shadao.

Boom! The Kamehameha passed through Billy's head, leaving behind only a neck that made a sizzling sound—the sound of flesh and blood being scorched by the Kamehameha.

Seeing Shaz's Ki Blast flying toward him, Shadao knew he could not dodge it this time. He crossed his arms over his chest, preparing to take the hit head-on. As the Ki Blast reached him, Shadao closed his eyes and wailed, "Ah! Oh! Mom!"
