"Hey, what is King Piccolo doing?" Bulma asked.
"Special Beam Cannon!"
As he spoke, King Piccolo suddenly thrust his hand forward, and a spiral beam of light shot toward the direction where Raditz and Son Goku were standing.
"Squelch..."
The spiral beam pierced directly through the hearts of Raditz and Son Goku without the slightest obstruction.
The two traced an arc through the air before plummeting down, collapsing onto the ground together.
Looking closer, one could see two bloody holes had appeared in their chests.
"Ah... you animal!" Raditz was furious, filled with resentment. "I am so strong, yet I was defeated by you two little runts."
"Hahaha... you deserve it!" King Piccolo laughed heartily.
He had finally managed to wipe this guy out.
Inside the helicopter.
Bulma was stunned.
Krillin was dumbfounded.
Master Roshi's eyes were wide with shock.
The three of them couldn't react for a moment.
Bulma and the others had clearly seen Goku's heart being pierced.
"Quick! We need to find a place to land immediately!" Master Roshi was the first to snap out of it, hurriedly calling out to Bulma.
"No way, was Luo Tian actually right? Did they really end up taking each other down?" Krillin wiped away sweat.
In the distance.
"I am not reconciled!" Raditz felt deep regret in his heart.
If I had another chance, I would definitely wipe these two out as quickly as possible.
No, to be precise, it should be the three of them, especially that brat.
If that brat hadn't rammed into me, even with Kakarot holding onto me, I would have been able to break free.
"There's no use being unreconciled; you're dying soon anyway," King Piccolo smiled faintly.
"Damn it! I never thought Kakarot would throw his own life away too," Raditz was puzzled.
If you want to kill me, I find that acceptable.
But to throw your own life away as well—that doesn't seem worth it.
"You idiot, Son Goku will be resurrected soon," King Piccolo chuckled.
"What? How is that possible?" Raditz was stunned.
"There is something on this planet called Dragon Balls, and they can grant any wish," King Piccolo smiled slightly. "Of course, that includes bringing the dead back to life."
"Hmph, that's good information; it has some value," Raditz chuckled. "I have already transmitted everything that happened here to my two partners in the far reaches of the universe. Once they know I've been killed, they will definitely avenge me."
King Piccolo: "..."
"The two of you, and everyone else on this planet, will be wiped out in an instant. By then, I'll just have that thing bring me back to life..." A smile appeared on Raditz's face.
"Those two... when will they arrive here?" Son Goku asked weakly.
"One year... one year from now," Raditz replied.
"One year... two even stronger Saiyans," cold sweat poured down King Piccolo.
"Your chances of winning next time are zero. You'd better enjoy the pleasures of life while you can within this year!" Raditz laughed wildly.
"Thud, thud, thud!"
As he spoke, the sound of a helicopter engine rang out in the sky.
It was Bulma piloting the helicopter toward them.
"Clack!"
The helicopter landed nearby.
"Goku!" Krillin was the first to run toward Son Goku.
"Cough, cough... Krillin..." Son Goku managed a forced smile.
"Goku, this isn't like you at all. You need to pull yourself together," Krillin shouted.
"Gohan is fine, he just fainted," Bulma said to Son Goku.
"Quick! Think of a way to save him!" Master Roshi urged. "Right, Master Korin's Senzu Bean should be able to restore Goku."
Krillin: "..."
Master Korin?
Hmm, that place is far too remote; how could there possibly be enough time?
"No need... Master Roshi, Krillin... I'm afraid there isn't enough time." Son Goku smiled and shook his head gently. "But as long as Gohan is safe, I can rest easy. At least this way, I won't get scolded by Chi-Chi."
"Goku... you can't die..." Krillin wept.
"Krillin, death is truly a nuisance..." Son Goku said with a smile.
Krillin: "..."
"Goku, don't worry, we'll bring you back to life right away," Krillin said hurriedly.
"Hehe, I'm counting on you." Son Goku smiled.
"Move aside." Luo Tian signaled to Krillin.
"What?" Krillin was stunned, looking up at Luo Tian.
However, as Krillin looked, he noticed a staff had suddenly appeared in Luo Tian's hand.
No, not a staff—it looked more like a scepter.
At the top of the scepter sat a blue crystal ball.
What is this thing?
"I told you to move aside; I need to heal him." As Luo Tian spoke, he kicked Krillin to the side.
This guy really has no sense of timing.
"If we wait any longer, we'll have to go to the Underworld to fetch him back, which is quite a hassle." Luo Tian sighed, and after saying this, a layer of radiance ignited upon the scepter in his hand.
The radiance quickly enveloped Son Goku's body.
Instantly, the bloody hole in Son Goku's chest began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Snap!"
Soon, the hole in Son Goku's chest was completely restored.
Flesh and blood regenerated.
Son Goku suddenly opened his eyes, a look of confusion on his face.
Krillin was dumbfounded.
Master Roshi's eyes widened, and he rubbed them vigorously.
Bulma also looked at Luo Tian in surprise, then back at Son Goku, unable to process what had just happened.
"Alright, Goku, get up and walk a bit." Luo Tian smiled.
Son Goku immediately scrambled up from the ground.
"This... what is going on?" Son Goku felt that he had completely recovered; not only that, but his own strength seemed to have improved significantly.
"I... am I seeing things? Goku... are you alive?" Krillin still couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.
"This is truly incredible. Luo Tian, you know healing?" Master Roshi asked in astonishment.
Piccolo was completely stunned.
This man named Luo Tian actually knew healing arts?
"I haven't used it in a long time, so I'm a bit rusty." Luo Tian smiled and put away the scepter in his hand.
Son Goku and the others widened their eyes once more.
"Just now... what was that thing in your hand?" Krillin asked, looking shocked.
"Nothing much, just a tool of the trade. Don't worry about the details." Luo Tian smiled.
Krillin: "..."
"What?" Raditz wasn't dead yet, and when he saw Son Goku appearing nearby, lively and kicking, he was completely stupefied.
