Tenacious Vegeta

"Don't be in such a rush. Once I finish off Kakarot, I'll deal with the rest of you properly," Vegeta chuckled lightly.

At Bulma's house.

"Why is it showing the same scene again? Luo Tian, you didn't just bring a TV over to fool me, did you?" Bulma wiped the sweat from her brow.

I looked back and forth, feeling as though I were watching the same repetitive plot for the second time.

Luo Tian: "..."

That guy Goku, he really lacks combat experience after all.

He should have destroyed that artificial full moon the moment Vegeta was gathering the energy for it.

Now look at the mess.

Your Ultra Instinct is only at its most rudimentary stage; how could you possibly defeat a Vegeta whose strength exceeds yours tenfold?

"Hahaha, prepare to die! Kakarot, this battle ends with you defeated by me!" Vegeta roared with laughter, preparing to twist Son Goku's head right off.

"Snap!"

At this critical moment, Yajirobe leaped into the air and sliced off Vegeta's tail with a single stroke of his blade.

After landing, Yajirobe quickly scrambled behind a rock to hide.

"Damn it! There was another one!" Vegeta felt his energy rapidly dissipating.

"Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, Vegeta reverted to his base form.

"Thud!"

Son Goku was tossed onto the ground by Vegeta.

"He cut it off... Hahaha... As expected of Yajirobe, you really are something!" Krillin laughed heartily.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Vegeta gasped for air, his breathing heavy.

Looking at Son Goku, he gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground with sheer determination.

"Damn... my body is so badly injured that it's difficult to use Ultra Instinct... This is trouble." Son Goku clenched his fists.

"Bang!"

Vegeta threw a fierce punch, aiming directly for Son Goku's chest.

"Ultra Instinct!" Son Goku's body dodged on its own, and he slammed his knee heavily into Vegeta's chest.

"Pfft..."

Vegeta spat out blood and backhanded Son Goku across the face.

"Not good! After being squeezed by that guy earlier, my body feels like it's falling apart; Ultra Instinct isn't flowing smoothly anymore." Son Goku wiped the blood from his face.

"Bang!"

Vegeta followed up with a flying kick, knocking Son Goku to the ground.

"Swish!"

Immediately after, Vegeta soared into the air and drove his knee toward Son Goku's position with full force.

"Whoosh!"

Son Goku gritted his teeth, sidestepped to dodge Vegeta's knee, and smashed his elbow heavily into Vegeta's chest.

"Pfft..."

Vegeta's pupils constricted, his expression turning incredibly ugly.

This strike had wounded Vegeta severely.

However, Son Goku's bones were nearly dislocated from the wide range of motion he had just used.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Both of them were gasping for air, neither able to find a way to finish the other for the moment.

"Hahaha, you can't move anymore, can you, Kakarot?" Vegeta laughed wildly.

Son Goku didn't say a word.

It was true; my body felt exceptionally heavy. That last movement was a bit too much, and I think I accidentally threw out my back.

This is a tragedy.

"Hmph, to make sure those other guys don't cause any more trouble, let me wipe them out first." Vegeta sneered and prepared to fly toward Son Gohan.

"Swish!"

Son Goku grabbed a rock and hurled it at Vegeta.

"Bang!"

The stone struck Vegeta directly in the center of his back.

"Pfft..."

Vegeta spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled, falling to the ground.

"Damn you, Kakarot! Even in this state, you're still causing trouble for me!" Vegeta roared in fury, immediately rushing forward to grab Son Goku and hurl him away with all his might.

Son Goku traced an arc through the air before slamming heavily into a rocky mountain.

By the time Son Goku landed, he could barely pull himself back up.

"Let's see if you can still move now," Vegeta snorted. He leaped into the air and stomped his foot down onto Son Goku's arm.

"Crack!"

A sound of bone shattering echoed from Son Goku's arm.

Son Goku's arm had suffered a comminuted fracture.

"Ah..."

Son Goku let out a shrill, agonizing cry.

"Swish!"

Vegeta pointed his fingers at Son Goku's legs, two beams of light flickering in his hands.

"Bang!"

The two beams of light struck Son Goku's legs, crippling them completely.

"I'd like to see what other methods you have to resist... huff, huff, huff..." Vegeta was exhausted; between his injuries and the massive expenditure of energy, he had very little stamina left.

Son Goku lay on the ground, his entire body trembling from the pain, his teeth gritted.

I still lost!

This guy is so tenacious.

I even had the upper hand for a moment.

Is this what an elite warrior is?

"Now, let me finish off those three little runts, find a place to properly heal my wounds, and take the opportunity to capture Luo Tian. My trip to Earth will then be considered a complete success," Vegeta sneered.

It's no good, I have to hurry!

If Luo Tian arrives, I'm no match for him in my current state.

"Swish!"

Vegeta flew rapidly in the direction of Son Gohan.

"Gohan, run!" Krillin shouted in alarm, his voice filled with panic.

Son Gohan: "..."

Run?

How am I supposed to run?

This guy is too fast.

I can't get away at all.

Son Gohan was trembling all over from fear.

"Let's start by wiping out you little brat," Vegeta grinned hideously.

"Bang!"

Vegeta landed a heavy punch directly on Son Gohan's chest.

Son Gohan clutched his chest, his face turning deathly pale.

"What's wrong? Earthling half-breed? Why is the powerful strength you showed earlier performing so poorly now?" Vegeta chuckled softly. "Hurry up and bring out your true power, otherwise, you're going to die."

As he spoke, Vegeta glanced out of the corner of his eye.

He saw the bald one flying toward him at high speed from behind.

Little bald guy, you think you can sneak attack me with just that?

"Bang!"

Vegeta kicked upward, striking Krillin directly in the head.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Krillin's body bounced repeatedly against the rocky ground, and by the time he came to a stop, he was nearly unconscious.

"Little bald guy, you don't want to die in order?" Vegeta chuckled.

"It's over... this is the worst possible situation..." Yajirobe hid behind a rock, his entire body shaking with terror.

"Hey, you piece of trash! Your father is trash, you're trash, your whole family is trash." Feeling that he hadn't vented enough, Vegeta grabbed Son Gohan by the collar and hoisted him up.

"Bang!"

Vegeta slammed his head hard into Son Gohan's face.
