At that moment, Nappa slowly descended from the sky. The two sides stared each other down, and the atmosphere on the battlefield turned grim.
"All of you, die!"
Nappa suddenly moved!
He was incredibly fast. Krillin and the others could not catch his movements at all.
"Not good!"
Krillin held the severely injured Little Gohan in his arms. He could not see his opponent, but he instinctively sensed that the bald man was coming for him, and every hair on his body stood on end.
At the critical moment!
Boom—!
A Kamehameha streaked above the ground and exploded ten meters away from Krillin.
Swept up by the blast wave, Krillin and Little Gohan were hurled more than a hundred meters away.
"Pfft!!"
Krillin kept Little Gohan tightly in his arms, shielding him from further harm, but he himself was blasted hard enough by the shockwave to spit blood.
"Krillin, are you okay?!"
Yamcha and the others quickly rushed to Krillin's side.
"I... I'm fine!"
Cradling Little Gohan, Krillin slowly got to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes remained fixed ahead. "Someone stopped that bald guy!"
Hearing Krillin's words, Tien Shinhan and the others also looked ahead.
In their sight, a green figure slowly stepped into the center of their view.
"It's Piccolo!!"
Krillin's eyes widened.
Yamcha said in shock, "When did Piccolo become this strong?"
Tien Shinhan pondered, "Before Goku came out of seclusion, I think I sensed a terrifying aura coming from the Heavenly Realm. I thought I had sensed it wrong, but now it seems that aura belonged to Piccolo!"
Little Gohan slowly woke up in Krillin's arms. Weakly, he said, "Th-that's right... That's Uncle Piccolo's power. Uncle Piccolo is really strong now!"
On the other side.
Vegeta slammed
