Chapter 43

Thinking of this, Mr. Ji Yun shook his head with a helpless smile.

"Wait a minute..."

Seeing Mr. Ji Yun shake his head, Trunks felt a sense of foreboding and hurriedly called out.

"Heh heh, so you know fear now? If you do, hurry up and clear a path. I promise I won't give this kid any trouble."

Cell laughed sinisterly, feeling quite pleased with himself.

It seemed this person was still quite important to Trunks.

Thanks to his own brilliant decision-making, otherwise, he really might have capsized in the gutter.

Hearing Cell's words, Trunks was momentarily speechless.

Big brother, who told you that?

Trunks rolled his eyes at him, then turned to Mr. Ji Yun and said, "Mr. Ji Yun, could you let me finish off this Monster with my own hands?"

Mr. Ji Yun looked at the determined gaze in Trunks' eyes and shrugged indifferently. "Fine, I'll leave this guy to you."

Mr. Ji Yun understood how Trunks felt at this moment.

Whether it was the Androids or Cell, they were all things created by Dr. Gero.

Dr. Gero was already dead, killed by the Androids he had created himself; it could be considered his own undoing.

The Androids were dead too, finished off by Mr. Ji Yun.

Now, with only Cell remaining, Trunks hoped to use his own power to save this broken world.

"Thank you, Mr. Ji Yun!"

Trunks said gratefully.

At the same time, he looked at Cell with a stern gaze once more, ready to attack at any moment.

Meanwhile, Cell, standing to the side, was in a state of utter confusion.

What was the meaning of this?

Just as Cell's mind was struggling to keep up, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

It felt as if he had been punched. Shortly after, Mr. Ji Yun, who had been under his claw, had already appeared on a nearby hillside without him even noticing.

"No... impossible. How could he be this fast?"

Cell stared at the spot where Mr. Ji Yun had suddenly vanished, his eyes widening in disbelief.

That punch from just a moment ago had been delivered by Mr. Ji Yun; he had activated the Flash Time Skill.

Without Cell even noticing, he had struck him in the abdomen before leaping away from the battlefield.

"Cell, stop your pointless struggling."

"Taking Mr. Ji Yun hostage—I can't believe you actually thought of that."

"If I hadn't spoken up in time, you would have already been reduced to ashes!"

"Though, it won't be long now!"

Trunks said, his eyes filled with disdain.

To think you dared to provoke Mr. Ji Yun; you really are like an old man eating arsenic—tired of living!

"How is this possible? That kid..."

Cell looked in shock toward Mr. Ji Yun, who stood with his hands behind his back atop the hillside.

His calm and indifferent demeanor truly gave off the aura of a grandmaster.

"Hah!"

Seeing Cell momentarily distracted, Trunks let out a fierce shout and seized the opportunity to attack!

Watching the incoming Trunks, Cell suddenly snapped back to reality.

In a panicked rush, he scrambled to defend against Trunks's assault.

Unfortunately, Trunks had the initiative, and his strength was superior to Cell's.

He instantly seized the advantage, stabbing Cell three or four times in quick succession.

In an instant, purple blood sprayed everywhere, appearing strikingly vivid under the sunlight!

"Stop, stop, stop! Trunks, I beg you, let me go! I promise I won't do anything bad ever again!"

Cell had been beaten to the point of desperation, his tone anxious as he begged Trunks for mercy.

Hearing Cell's words, Trunks did not slow the speed of his blade.

"I don't believe your promises. Only when you are dead will I have the best guarantee."

Trunks replied firmly.

He was no longer the young man he once was, unchanged by time.

The pressures of life had forced him to stop trusting the words of any enemy.

Before long.

Trunks' longsword was already stained with fresh blood.

At this moment, Cell was on the verge of death, his life hanging by a thread after a barrage of consecutive strikes.

His body was battered and broken; there was not a single intact spot left on him.

Although Cell possessed the abilities of Piccolo.

In his state of extreme weakness, he no longer had the strength to continue regenerating his body.

"Rest assured, you will see Dr. Gero very soon."

"You can ask him yourself why he created you just to suffer so much pain!"

Trunks said, devoid of emotion.

As the words left his lips.

Trunks stomped his foot hard against the ground.

The solid earth trembled instantly, acting like a trampoline that launched the prone Cell into the air.

The dying Cell had no power to resist and could only leave his fate to be decided.

"Ah... Hah!"

"Masenko!"

Trunks shouted in a low, deep voice.

He crossed his hands above his head and unleashed a golden shockwave that soared into the clouds, blasting directly toward Cell.

This technique was the very one taught to him by his closest friend and most respected master, Son Gohan.

This time, Trunks poured his entire strength into the attack, making it shine with even greater brilliance.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion erupted in mid-air.

Cell didn't even have time to scream before he was blasted into nothingness, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.

Amidst the brilliant fireworks, Trunks seemed to see the smiling face of Gohan.

On the hillside.

Mr. Ji Yun saw that Cell had been destroyed, and the weight in his heart finally lifted.

He knew that within Cell's body, there was a special cell.

If it hadn't been destroyed, Cell could have utilized the Namekian ability to regenerate and return to life.

Seeing that not even a trace of Cell remained, Mr. Ji Yun felt his mood relax, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself.

Trunks really is reliable when it comes to getting things done!

Immediately, Mr. Ji Yun placed his hand on his head and used Instant Transmission to appear beside Trunks.

"All threats on Earth have been eliminated. Let's head back."

Mr. Ji Yun patted Trunks on the arm and said with a smile.

"Right!"

Trunks nodded happily and placed his hand back on Mr. Ji Yun's shoulder.

His eyes were filled with respect for Mr. Ji Yun.

If not for Mr. Ji Yun, who knows how much more suffering the people of Earth would have had to endure.

Take this Cell, for example; if Mr. Ji Yun hadn't sensed his presence, the peace that humanity had worked so hard to achieve would likely have been plunged back into hell, and the crisis on Earth would have dragged on for a long time.

From this moment on, the importance of Mr. Ji Yun in Trunks' heart was second only to Bulma and Gohan.

Whoosh!

Mr. Ji Yun used Instant Transmission once more, and the two departed from that place.

When the two reappeared, they had arrived in a city that was in the midst of reconstruction.

Walking side by side, they traversed the leveled ground.

Wherever they went, the people around them cast kind and respectful gazes toward them.

Some even greeted them warmly, inviting the two to be guests in their homes.

Of course, both of them politely declined these offers.

"Trunks, I've been here for quite a while now. It's time for me to leave."

Mr. Ji Yun looked at the future that had finally returned to peace and spoke to Trunks as they walked.
