Piccolo was not so lucky; one of his arms was swallowed up by that energy instantly.
"Boom!"
The two blasts of energy slammed into the earth, erupting with a powerful aura.
After landing, Son Goku looked up toward the sky.
"Idiot, I'm behind you." Raditz's voice rang out from behind Son Goku.
Son Goku's expression changed.
"Bang!"
Raditz flew up and kicked Son Goku in the back of the head.
Son Goku sprawled onto the ground.
"Heh heh heh, the two of you combined are only at this level? You really disappoint me," Raditz chuckled.
Son Goku gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as he stood up from the ground.
"You bastard!" Son Goku scratched his head and looked at Piccolo, asking, "Piccolo, are you alright?"
But when Son Goku saw Piccolo's severed arm, he couldn't help but be shocked once again.
"Ouch... that stings a bit," Piccolo smiled faintly, cold sweat breaking out on his face, "but don't worry, I can still fight even with one arm left."
"Hahaha, you two idiots! Your time of death has arrived!" Raditz laughed wildly.
With your level of strength, you actually thought you could challenge me!
You're still 10,000 years too early.
"Son Goku, do you have any new moves?" Piccolo asked.
"Sorry... I don't..." Son Goku shook his head helplessly.
Out of these past five years, I spent four of them raising my child.
I haven't had any time to research new techniques.
"I was originally planning to save my strength..." Piccolo smiled slightly, "but I have been training seriously, and I've even had a new breakthrough."
"Hey, what are you two whispering about?" Raditz sneered, "Let me tell you, whatever tactics you're discussing are useless against me. Just hurry up and come here to die."
"You said you've mastered a new ultimate move—is that true?" Son Goku ignored Raditz and turned to ask Piccolo.
"It is true," Piccolo nodded.
"With only one arm left, can you do it?" Son Goku asked.
"It doesn't matter, but gathering the energy will take some time. You go and fight him first to draw his attention," Piccolo said.
"Understood..." Son Goku nodded slightly, "But will this move of yours actually work on him?"
"If this move doesn't work, then it's impossible to defeat him," Piccolo smiled, "Originally, this move was intended to wipe you out."
"Hahaha, now it's actually going to be a huge help to me," Son Goku said with a laugh.
"Don't get too happy just yet. If we defeat this guy, you're next," Piccolo smiled faintly.
"Hmph, you can still laugh when death is staring you in the face," Raditz snorted.
"Alright, I'm going to challenge him now!" Son Goku's expression turned grave.
"You'd better hold on," Piccolo said with a smile.
"Whoosh!"
Son Goku darted toward Raditz at high speed and launched a fierce assault.
Piccolo pressed his index and middle fingers to his forehead, beginning to gather energy in preparation to unleash the Special Beam Cannon.
"Bang!"
Son Goku and Raditz clashed for three or four rounds, only for Son Goku to be soundly beaten by Raditz.
Raditz flew up and kicked Son Goku, sending him flying.
After tumbling across the ground, Son Goku quickly flew into the sky, gathering a powerful energy blast in his hands.
"Not good! His combat power is constantly rising! Combat power 924!" Raditz's expression changed slightly, "Is he concentrating his power into a single point to boost it?"
As he said this, Raditz seemed to realize something and suddenly looked toward Piccolo on the side.
"The combat power of this guy over here is 1020... 1030! Unbelievable, it's still rising!" Raditz's face turned ugly.
"Kamehameha!"
At that moment, Son Goku had finished gathering his energy blast and fired it toward Raditz.
Raditz quickly dodged the attack.
However, Son Goku immediately controlled the energy blast, steering it to strike at Raditz once again.
"Snap!"
Raditz performed a magnificent turn, grabbing the incoming energy wave with one hand.
"BOOM!"
The energy wave erupted in a massive explosion.
Looking at Raditz, he was completely unscathed.
"Return to sender!" Raditz let out a cold snort, flicking his hand to hurl an energy blast toward Son Goku in the air.
"BANG!"
The energy blast struck Son Goku squarely.
Hit by the attack, Son Goku plummeted from the sky.
Raditz rushed forward instantly, his fist aimed directly at Son Goku's head.
"Go to hell!" Raditz roared.
"The one who should die is you!"
Piccolo had already finished charging the Special Beam Cannon.
"What?" Raditz looked toward Piccolo's direction. "A power level of 1330! He's concentrated all his power into his fingertips! Damn it! They can control their power at will!"
"Special Beam Cannon!"
Piccolo swung his arm forward, and a purple-red spiral of light blasted toward Raditz with a deafening roar.
"Hah!"
Raditz's face turned pale; at this critical moment, he hurriedly dodged.
Even so, his shoulder was grazed by the blast.
Raditz's shoulder armor had been blown off, and blood was seeping from his shoulder.
Piccolo: "..."
Piccolo was completely stunned.
He actually dodged it. This guy is truly fast; he could even evade that.
"To be able to damage my armor, that move of yours must be quite powerful. If I had been hit directly, I definitely would have been killed." Raditz felt a lingering fear.
"It didn't hit... we're in trouble now!" Piccolo felt a sense of utter despair.
"I won't forgive you! The game ends here!" An infinite killing intent surfaced on Raditz's face.
Originally, Raditz had only wanted to treat these two like little mice and have some fun.
Who would have thought these two mice would almost finish off this cat.
Raditz suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
If I keep playing like this, I might actually end up getting myself killed.
No, I must kill them immediately to avoid any further complications.
"I will make you disappear in an instant," Raditz said coldly.
As he spoke, Raditz raised his hand, intending to wipe Piccolo out right there.
Just then, Raditz suddenly felt his tail tighten, as if someone had grabbed it.
"What?" Raditz's expression changed.
Piccolo was also taken aback, looking at Son Goku, who had appeared behind Raditz.
"Heh heh, you were far too careless. I've got your tail." Son Goku smiled, gripping Raditz's tail tightly.
"You... when did you..." Raditz felt his entire body go limp and immediately collapsed to his knees.
"Piccolo! Quick! Do that move again!" Son Goku shouted.
"Ah... alright!" Piccolo reacted instantly, placing his index and middle fingers back against his forehead. "Well done, Son Goku! You must hold on tight; I can only use this move one more time before I reach my limit!"
"Kakarot, do you want to kill your only brother?" Raditz began to play the emotional card.
"A villain like you doesn't deserve to be my brother! You even tried to kill my son!" Son Goku hesitated for a moment before shouting in anger.
"I won't kill him. I've truly repented; I will honestly leave this planet," Raditz said.
"Don't fall for it, Son Goku! Don't listen to his sweet talk; he would never do such a thing!" Piccolo shouted in warning.
"I beg you! Please believe me! Little brother, I admit that what I did just now was truly excessive!" Raditz said again with a sincere expression. "I will definitely keep my promise!"
Son Goku's heart softened for a moment.
"You fool, don't let go of his tail! This is a trick!" Piccolo roared.
"I beg you, Kakarot! Believe in me!" Raditz shouted.
In the end, Son Goku's heart softened, his hand loosened slightly, and the tail he was gripping slipped from his grasp.
"Son Goku!" Piccolo yelled in fury.
That idiot! Is he really that easy to trick?
"Heh heh."
Once his tail was freed, Raditz let out a soft chuckle and backhanded a punch directly into Son Goku's chest.
Son Goku collapsed to the ground.
"Bam!"
Raditz lunged forward and began to rain a brutal beating down upon Son Goku.
"Hahaha, it's rare to see a fool like you," Raditz said, a smirk appearing on his face. "You actually fell for my trap so obediently; you truly aren't cut out to be an elite warrior."
"You're despicable!" Son Goku gritted his teeth.
"I am different; I am a first-class warrior, and I can kill my own brother without a moment's hesitation," Raditz said, his grin widening. "Would you like to see it?"
As he spoke, Raditz increased the pressure under his foot.
"Ah... ah..."
Son Goku let out a series of shrill, agonizing cries.
In the distance.
A helicopter was speeding toward the scene.
"Oh dear, it looks like the situation is taking a turn for the worse," Luo Tian sighed.
"What do you mean?" Krillin asked hurriedly.
"I've made up my mind; this time, I intend to save Goku," Luo Tian said with a smile.
"What is this..." Krillin was speechless. "So, in the end, you still think Goku is going to be defeated by him, right?"
"You'll see when we get there," Luo Tian nodded.
"So mysterious..." Krillin didn't know what else to say.
"Alright Krillin, keep your mouth shut for a while!" Bulma glared at him.
Krillin: "..."
It's not like I'm the one trying to talk; it's Luo Tian who's talking, isn't it?
Bulma, you're biased!
"Go faster, Bulma, we might still be able to help," Master Roshi said.
"Alright." Bulma increased the helicopter's speed.
"Can I be of any help too?" the Sea Turtle asked, sweat appearing on his face.
Master Roshi: "..."
Bulma: "..."
Krillin: "..."
"Ahem... why did you tag along?" Master Roshi asked, annoyed.
"You were the one who dragged me up here," the Sea Turtle said, wiping away sweat.
