Tao Pai Pai

Under a clear sky.

A stone pillar shot through the air like a missile. On the pillar stood a man, wearing a peach-colored vest, with a long braid. His cold, gaunt face made him hard to like, and a red "kill" character was emblazoned on his chest.

Roland narrowed her eyes, having already guessed the other party's identity from their distinctive attire—it was none other than Tao Pai Pai, the world's number one assassin!

One of the Dragon Ball was actually on him.

While Roland continued to observe his opponent, Sephiria made her move. A gust of wind swept across the sky, accompanied by a hissing sound, and a dark blue energy struck the stone pillar beneath Tao Pai Pai's feet.

Tao Pai Pai, who was enjoying the gentle breeze on the stone pillar, obviously did not expect that someone would attack him at this time. The stone pillar beneath his feet was struck by a burst of energy and instantly shattered into dust.

Tao Pai Pai fell from a great height, but quickly adjusted her posture upon landing, thus avoiding death. Fortunately, Tao Pai Pai was highly skilled; if it had been an ordinary martial artist, falling from such a height would have left them crippled, if not dead.

"Who dares to attack me, Tao Pai Pai?!" Tao Pai Pai was furious, a murderous aura appearing on his cold face.

Then, he saw a man and a woman appear in front of him. The woman was tall and well-proportioned, with a reserved demeanor, and looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. The man, on the other hand, was just a child, and he naturally ignored him.

The two people who appeared in front of Tao Pai Pai were naturally Roland and his sister Sephiria. Sephiria glanced at Tao Pai Pai with slight surprise, but this surprise was quickly replaced by a hint of disdain.

"This guy has a strong aura, but it's limited to Earth."

Roland nodded and said, "His name is Tao Pai Pai. He's the number one assassin on Earth, and in terms of strength, he should rank among the top four martial artists."

At this time, the martial arts world on Earth was dwindling in talent. The strongest were the members of the Crane School and the Turtle School. The Turtle School was represented by Master Roshi and Gohan, while the Crane School was represented by Master Shen and Tao Son Gohan Tao Pai Pai. As for other schools, such as the Orin Temple and the guardians of the Korin's Sacred Land, they were all considered second-rate.

Sephiria nodded slightly, still not taking Tao Pai Pai seriously. To put it bluntly, if she released even a little bit of her aura, it would be hard to say whether Tao Pai Pai could even stand still.

On the other side, Tao Pai Pai stared at Sephiria with murderous intent. Although she was amazed by Sephira's beauty, as a ruthless assassin, she naturally wouldn't let her appearance deter her from killing.

"Woman, you're the one who destroyed my pillar? You do have some skill. I wonder who your teacher is?"

Sephiria had no interest in wasting words with a weakling and said bluntly, "Hand over the Dragon Ball you have, and I might spare your life."

Tao Pai Pai was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed with anger, and her voice turned cold as she said, "What an audacious fellow! How dare you speak to me like that? It seems I have to teach you a lesson..."

"Noisy!"

Before Tao Pai Pai could finish speaking, Sephiria had already given up and glanced at Tao Pai Pai with indifferent eyes. Her gaze was so calm and even dismissive that it was as if she were looking at a dead man. Then, she launched an attack.

With Sephiria's power, even a casual, seemingly insignificant attack would be something no Earthling could withstand.

As expected, Tao Pai Pai was no match for Sephiria's attacks.

To him, the attack was as fierce as thunder.

"What?!" Tao Pai Pai's expression changed drastically when the attack arrived right in front of her.

With a loud bang!

Tao Pai Pai's body suddenly flew backward, crashing into several large trees with a diameter of half a meter, before finally stopping after skimming the ground for dozens of meters, leaving a deep, conspicuous scratch.

At this moment, Tao Pai Pai and miserable. The excruciating pain from his shattered bones rendered him speechless, and his eyes, filled with disbelief, stared at Sephiria in horror.

"Impossible! When did such a terrifying individual appear in the martial arts world?!"

Tao Pai Pai was devastated, her liver and gallbladder shattered, and she suffered a tremendous mental shock.

Perhaps because he had long stood at the pinnacle of martial arts, Tao Pai Pai found it hard to believe that he could be defeated so easily.

Staring at Sephiria with a horrified expression, Tao Pai Pai was filled with fear by the other's dark and indifferent eyes, and the intense killing aura emanating from her was far beyond what even he could match... Where did this monster come from? Tao Pai Pai's expression shifted between light and shadow, and after a moment of hesitation, she suddenly knelt down with a thud, kowtowing to Sephiria with her hands on the ground.

"Miss, please... please forgive my previous offense. I swear I will never repeat this mistake."

"Hand over the Dragon Ball you have."

"Yes, yes, I'll give you the Dragon Ball right away." Although he didn't know what the Dragon Ball the other party was looking for were, Tao Pai Pai still readily agreed.

Sephiria looked at him coldly and walked to Tao Pai Pai's side. Just then, a sinister smile appeared on Tao Pai Pai's lips. He suddenly took out a bomb from his pocket and threw it at Sephiria.

"Go to hell!!"

"Snort!"

Sephiria's eyes suddenly flashed with intense killing intent, but before she could make a move, Roland, who had been standing to the side, had already taken action. Roland strode forward and instantly appeared between Tao Pai Pai and Sephiria, pinching an explosive bomb in one hand while pointing his finger at Tao Pai Pai.

Whoosh! A sharp energy ray flashed from his fingertip and shot towards Tao Pai Pai's forehead.

With a "whoosh," an energy ray shot into Tao Pai Pai's forehead, instantly destroying his brain. Tao Pai Pai stared at Roland in horror, his expression frozen on the spot, before his mind went completely dark.

Tao Pai Pai, the world's number one assassin, died at the hands of Roland.

"Foolish!" Roland's expression was cold, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

Roland, who is familiar with the original work, knows exactly how despicable Tao Pai Pai is.

In the original story, when he encountered Goku had returned from his training at the Korin Tower, he didn't hesitate to abandon his dignity and kneel down to beg for mercy in order to save his life. However, when he thought he had an opportunity, he launched a despicable sneak attack on Goku, but the sneak attack failed and he was killed by Goku instead.

All signs indicate that Tao Pai Pai is a thoroughly treacherous and cunning individual, and his words cannot be trusted at all. Sure enough, he chose to launch a sneak attack on Sephiria when she got close. However, Tao Pai Pai never expected that his seemingly perfect plan would not pose any threat to Sephiria's safety.

As Sephiria's younger brother, Roland couldn't stand by and watch a despicable person attack his sister, so he decisively took action.

"You don't need to do anything," Sephiria said calmly.

"Let me protect you sometimes!"

"There's no need." Sephiria shook her head.

Looking at Sephiria's aloof and arrogant demeanor, Roland couldn't help but shrug.

After searching Tao Pai Pai's body, they pulled an orange-red Dragon Ball with four stars on it from his pocket.

"It's Four-Star Ball..."

This Dragon Ball should have originally been with Son Gohan, but it was scattered to other parts of the world after a wish was made. Roland looked at the Four-Star Ball and then put it away.
