Vegeta's Tragedy

"Boom!"

Vegeta didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately unleashed all his energy.

Vast energy erupted from Vegeta and spread wildly in every direction.

Vegeta became a streak of brilliant light and shot toward Cui at incredible speed.

"Pow!"

Vegeta landed an uppercut squarely in Cui's stomach.

Cui's body immediately doubled over like a shrimp.

Then Vegeta kicked him hard, sending him flying hundreds of feet into the air.

"Whoosh!"

Vegeta blurred and appeared directly above Cui in an instant. He swung into a bicycle kick and struck Cui again.

Cui's body plummeted from the sky like a cannonball.

Kuri hurriedly scrambled away in fright.

"Rumble!"

With a thunderous crash, Cui slammed into the ground below, leaving a huge crater.

Vegeta dived down from the sky, clenched his fists, and struck Cui with another heavy blow.

"Hmph." Vegeta spat to the side and stood with his arms crossed, his expression cold as his red cape fluttered behind him.

"It's over! As expected of you, Prince Vegeta!" Kuri cheered excitedly, clapping his hands.

"Hmph, it was nothing." Vegeta snorted, though he felt a little smug inside.

Good thing I attacked fast!

It was that frog's own fault for letting his guard down.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was already too late.

Hahaha, what an idiot!

But just as Vegeta was feeling pleased with himself, Cui let out a long groan and climbed out of the crater.

"What?" Vegeta's pupils narrowed slightly, and his youthful face changed color.

You've got to be kidding me!

Did my all-out attack fail to hurt this guy?

"Not bad, Vegeta. Your attacks had a nice rhythm!" Cui said with a smile. He rubbed his lip and spat a mouthful of blood to the side.

Vegeta's expression darkened.

Looks like there's no other way!

A difference of 2,000 in battle power really wasn't easy to overcome.

Damn it! I was too naive!

Now I can only use the Artificial Full Moon to beat this guy.

"My turn to attack now, right?" Cui said, rubbing his fists as his smile grew brighter.

Kuri was so frightened that his face turned green.

This frog was terrifying.

Even Prince Vegeta's fierce attacks couldn't seriously injure him?

Cui glanced at Kuri. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, and a flash of murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

Kuri couldn't help shivering. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.

"Whoosh!"

Cui launched his attack at once, rushing toward Vegeta and slamming a palm into his chest.

The strike was so fast that Vegeta didn't have time to react.

Vegeta took the hit and flew backward.

Kuri's pupils contracted, and his face turned deathly pale.

He could clearly see that Vegeta was flying straight toward him.

If Prince Vegeta crashed into me, would I die on the spot?

But it was already too late for Kuri to dodge.

"Thud!"

Vegeta slammed into Kuri.

"Argh..."

Kuri let out a desperate scream. His whole body felt as if it had fallen apart, and his mind went completely blank.

"Smack!"

Vegeta and Kuri flew backward together for over a thousand meters before crashing hard into the ground.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Their bodies bounced several times across the ground before finally coming to a stop.

Poor Kuri was crushed to death by Vegeta just like that.

Cui secretly rejoiced.

See?

I'd completed a third of Lord Frieza's mission without breaking a sweat.

Two Saiyans left!

I'll find a chance to kill them later!

Huh? Wait, that's not right!

Judging by the Scouter's readings, there's only one person left.

Did the other one die when they arrived on this planet?

That was quite possible!

The monsters on this planet had decent battle power.

It was only natural for those three Saiyans with battle power around 500 to die here.

So all I have to do is kill the last one, and I'll have completed the mission Lord Frieza gave me.

Right, first I'll teach little Prince Vegeta a proper lesson.

This guy can't take a hit!

Vegeta struggled to his feet and spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt awful all over.

So this was the difference between us in battle power?

"Smack!"

Cui flew over from a distance and landed in front of Vegeta. He looked at him with a beaming smile. "Sorry, Vegeta. I hit you a little too hard."

"Pah!"

Vegeta snorted, his youthful face full of frustration.

"And your companion is dead... That had nothing to do with me. You're the one who crushed him to death!" Cui pointed at Kuri's body lying beside Vegeta, washing his hands of all blame.

Vegeta didn't even bother looking behind him.

To Vegeta, his companion's death didn't matter at all.

Right now, all he wanted was to pin this frog to the ground and grind him into the dirt.

"The Saiyans' little prince, hailed as their most gifted warrior, and this is all you've got! What a disappointment!" Cui taunted.

Vegeta trembled with rage.

"Want to keep going, Vegeta?" Cui asked with a grin, his eyes full of contempt.

"Hmph, you're celebrating too soon!" Vegeta snorted. He raised his right hand, and a shining sphere took shape in his palm.

"What's that? What kind of thing is it?" Cui muttered, momentarily taken aback. "What's this guy doing? That thing has taken at least half his energy. His battle power is down to 7,000 now! Could it be... Is that..."

Cui seemed to suddenly realize what was happening. His brow furrowed tightly.

Vegeta sneered and suddenly tossed the sphere in his hand into the sky.

The Power Ball shot upward at incredible speed.

"Not good!" Cui's expression changed again and again.

That was an Artificial Full Moon!

This guy wanted to turn into a Great Ape!

"Did you think I'd let you get your way?" Cui sneered. He raised his right hand high and aimed it at the glowing sphere shooting into the sky.

Vegeta's expression darkened. He knew the frog wanted to destroy the Artificial Full Moon.

At this critical moment, Vegeta gritted his teeth and charged at Cui, hoping to stop him from destroying the still-forming Artificial Full Moon.

"Thud!"

Cui drove his knee into the charging Vegeta, slamming it hard into his lower back.

"Urgh..."

Vegeta sprayed another mouthful of blood and felt dizzy.

"What? You want to turn into a Great Ape and fight me? Did you think I'd give you the chance?" Cui sneered.

"Whoosh!"

An Energy Blast shot from Cui's hand, flying straight toward the Power Ball rising into the sky.
