At this moment, Krillin and Piccolo were knocked to the ground, their energy weak, and they could only sit there watching Gohan and Wang Sheng join forces to fight Nappa.
Just then, Nappa kicked Gohan into the air, followed immediately by a hand chop that sent him flying into a small hill.
Just as Nappa was about to gloat, a sharp pain struck his abdomen, and he was sent flying into the distance; it was Wang Sheng's small fist that had seized the opportunity to strike him.
"Haha, I knew Wang Sheng had immense energy within him. As long as it's guided out, he'll definitely be able to defeat this hateful Saiyan." While training in the Heavenly Realm, Krillin had witnessed firsthand how powerful Wang Sheng's strength was and how vast his potential truly was.
From being unable to withstand a single blow at the start, to barely defending, and now to trading blows, the speed of Wang Sheng's progress in his battle against Nappa was simply astonishing.
"Gohan, get up quickly and unleash your true strength!" Seeing Krillin praising Wang Sheng, Piccolo felt a bit jealous and shouted at Gohan, who was sitting on the ground clutching his head.
"Damn it!" Nappa wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his aura fluctuating and whipping up a powerful gale that sent sand and stones flying. He let out a roar and charged toward Wang Sheng once more.
At this moment, a streak of light flew in from the side; encouraged by Piccolo, Gohan joined the fray.
One large and two small figures were locked in a fierce battle in the sky.
With a scouter on his face, Vegeta discovered that the combat power of these two brats was constantly rising; it was now 5675 for one and 4989 for the other.
"What's going on? Why is their power getting stronger and stronger?" Nappa felt a sense of panic in his heart.
Whack!
Wang Sheng suddenly appeared beside Nappa's face, his small fist striking Nappa's cheek, distorting his features and sending him spitting saliva.
"What?" Nappa's eyes widened like copper bells, and he let out a cry of disbelief as his burly body flew into the distance like a cannonball.
"Masenko!" Seeing Nappa sent flying and sensing an opening, Gohan raised both hands, and a blast of energy struck the retreating Nappa.
Boom!
Ah!
A heart-wrenching scream erupted from within the smoke.
"Useless!"
Seeing Nappa get hit, Vegeta remained indifferent, feeling nothing but contempt that Nappa had been beaten into such a sorry state by two children.
"Unforgivable, unforgivable! I'm going to kill you all!" The smoke cleared, revealing Nappa's battered figure.
"Die!"
Nappa let out a roar, and an energy blast surged toward the two of them.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng and Gohan both shouted in unison.
"Kamehameha!"
"Masenko!"
Two energy waves were fired simultaneously, swirling together in mid-air before merging into a single yellow-and-blue beam. The massive light beam collided directly with the energy wave Nappa had fired.
"What?"
In Nappa's shocked gaze, the yellow-and-blue energy wave swallowed his own blast with unstoppable force and crashed into him.
Ah!
With a shrill scream, Nappa's burly body was struck directly, and a dazzling light erupted on the spot, so intense that it was impossible to look at.
"Haha, that was amazing!" Krillin laughed heartily, and thinking of the comrades who had been killed by the brutal Nappa, tears of joy streamed down his face.
"Hmph! Not bad at all!" Piccolo snorted, though a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Beautiful!" In the distance, Goku saw this scene, struck his right fist into his left palm, and exclaimed in admiration.
A faint, intermittent groan sounded as a burly figure crawled slowly out of the crater. He seemed to be in immense pain as he crawled.
"Vegeta!" Nappa struggled to raise his hand and called out weakly to Vegeta, who was not far away.
A cold sneer hung on Vegeta's lips as he flew forward.
"Vegeta, I'm sorry... I failed," Nappa gasped, as if his breath were about to cut off.
"Forget it."
Vegeta sighed, flew up, and kicked Nappa high into the air.
"Ah! Why?"
Nappa screamed in panic.
"Losing to two brats—you've completely disgraced the Saiyans. You are a shame to the Saiyan race," Vegeta shouted loudly. He then condensed his aura and fired a powerful shockwave at Nappa in the sky.
Ah!
Nappa was struck by the beam, his face twisting violently as he let out a pig-like shriek.
Boom!
The light faded, and a charred figure fell from the sky, Nappa lying motionless in the dirt.
He had actually been killed by his own comrade!
Krillin and the others were terrified by Vegeta's brutal actions.
"How heartless, to kill his own comrade with his own hands."
"How cruel!" Goku exclaimed, his face etched with disbelief as he witnessed Nappa being murdered by his own comrade, once again realizing the sheer brutality of the Saiyans.
Wang Yang, however, remained expressionless. Having traveled across the universe, he had long since witnessed countless distortions of human nature, moral decay, and terrifying depths of darkness and bloodshed; this scene was nothing more than a minor incident to him.
With Nappa dead, Vegeta stretched his limbs, preparing to enter the fray himself.
"Gohan, this guy looks even harder to deal with," Wang Sheng whispered, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Gohan as they took up their stances.
"Y-yeah! He looks even more terrifying," Gohan replied, his heart turning cold at the memory of the man mercilessly killing his own companion.
"You two, be careful!" Krillin shouted from a distance toward Wang Sheng and Gohan.
Whoosh!
Vegeta arched a brow and flicked his right hand violently in Krillin's direction.
Seeing this, Krillin and Piccolo scrambled to jump away, followed immediately by a massive explosion where they had just stood. A powerful shockwave surged forth, causing the two in the sky to lose control of their bodies, tumbling through the air before crashing to the ground.
"Uncle Piccolo!"
"Uncle Krillin!"
The two boys cried out, then let out a roar, their bodies erupting with energy as they charged toward Vegeta.
Wang Yang's gaze lingered on Krillin for a moment before shifting to Goku beside him.
"Why is your look so strange? It makes me feel like something bad is about to happen," Goku suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"It's nothing," Wang Yang chuckled.
Krillin sacrificed, Goku ascends!
Krillin sacrificed, power boundless!
As the two children finally engaged Vegeta, the expression of the distant Goku turned grave, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on Gohan.
Goku's muscles were taut, as if he were ready to strike at any moment.
Though Wang Yang appeared relaxed, he was constantly tracking Wang Sheng's energy, ready to use Instant Transmission to appear by his side at any second.
It had to be said that Vegeta was indeed incredibly powerful, far surpassing Nappa. Facing the attacks of Wang Sheng and Gohan, he calmly threw two punches, easily slamming both of them into the ground.
"Gohan, are you alright?" Wang Sheng climbed out of the dirt and pulled Gohan up with him.
"So strong... I feel pain all over, like I can't fight anymore," Gohan managed a weak smile.
"It's okay, I can still fight," Wang Sheng rubbed his stomach, pulling a strained smile across his face.
Meanwhile, at Kame House, Bulma and the others were watching the battle through Fortuneteller Baba's crystal ball.
"Ah! My Gohan! If this keeps up, he's going to die!" Chi-Chi grabbed the crystal ball and screamed, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Little Sheng! My Little Sheng!" Bulma paced anxiously, pounding her fists against Oolong's head.
"Wang Yang, you bastard, why haven't you shown up yet?"
"Fortuneteller Baba, show me where Wang Yang is! I'm going to find him," Bulma seemed to realize something and hurriedly shouted at the old woman.
"Right! Yes! Exactly!" Master Roshi and the others suddenly realized, urging Fortuneteller Baba to cast her spell.
If they could just find Wang Yang, those two Saiyans would certainly be no match for him.
"It takes a great deal of mental energy for me to scry; I cannot cast it lightly. It takes a long time to recover after each use," Fortuneteller Baba said with a troubled expression, the words 'pay me' practically written on her face.
"Just cast the spell already!" Chi-Chi roared at her in a panic.
Bulma rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms, looking as if she wouldn't hesitate to strike if the old woman dared to refuse.
Seeing the two enraged women, Fortuneteller Baba dared not provoke them, fearing a beating with no recourse.
"Such a lack of respect for the elderly. I should have known better than to come here," Fortuneteller Baba muttered, then began waving her withered hands in front of the crystal ball.
"@#¥%..."
Under her spell, the crystal ball flickered, and the figures of Wang Yang and Goku slowly appeared within.
"Goku is actually with Wang Yang?" Master Roshi looked surprised.
"Where are they? Why does this place look so familiar?" Bulma frowned, her willow-leaf brows knitting together as she leaned in closer to watch.
The scene shifted, and the green-skinned Piccolo appeared conspicuously in the corner of the crystal ball.
"Ah! King Piccolo? The two of them are actually there?" Bulma's eyes widened in shock.
"You wretch, Goku! You're actually over there, just watching Gohan get bullied? I won't forgive you for this!" Veins bulged on Chi-Chi's forehead as she glared at Goku's image with eyes full of fire.
"Hmm?" Wang Yang's perception was incredibly sharp; he immediately sensed the feeling of being spied upon.
He closed his eyes at once, following the mysterious connection...
Wang Yang's gaze seemed to pierce through space and time, countless colorful illusions flashing before him. A moment later, he opened his eyes, and when he saw the scene before him, he was startled.
In Kame House, everyone was staring at him with fury, and a look of awkwardness appeared on Wang Yang's face.
Oh no, I've been spotted!
"Hello everyone!" Wang Yang gave a dry laugh and waved at the group.
"Hmm?" Goku, standing to the side, scratched the back of his head in confusion as he watched Wang Yang greeting empty air for no apparent reason.
"Wang Yang, who are you talking to?"
"You were actually right there? You were actually watching our son get beaten up?" Bulma shoved the others away from the front of the crystal ball and shouted at Wang Yang, itching to grab him and give him a sound thrashing.
"Goku, you bastard! Gohan is about to die, and you're just standing there watching him get beaten! You're going to be the death of me!" Chi-Chi also crowded forward, roaring at Goku, who was standing right next to Wang Yang.
Snap!
Wang Yang snapped his fingers, and the vision before his eyes vanished.
Inside Kame House, Fortuneteller Baba's crystal ball suddenly turned blurry, and the figures of Wang Yang and Goku disappeared from within it.
"I'm going over there." Bulma marched out the door, looking fierce, and pulled out a Hoi-Poi Capsule, tossing it onto the ground.
"I'm coming too!" Chi-Chi followed right behind her.
Master Roshi, Ox-King, Oolong, and the others also scrambled to climb aboard.
They had originally been worried about getting caught in the crossfire if they went to the battlefield, but now that they knew Wang Yang and Goku were there, they were no longer afraid.
The plane tore through the sky, leaving two long trails of exhaust in its wake. Driven by her desperate desire to protect her son, Bulma pushed the aircraft to its maximum speed.
Master Roshi and Oolong hadn't buckled in properly, and with a sudden jolt, they went flying, ending up plastered against the back of the plane in a spread-eagle position.
"Goku, I have some bad news. You need to prepare yourself." Wang Yang looked into the distance with a grave expression. A powerful and terrifying aura was rising from that direction; feeling such immense power, he found himself unable to even muster his own strength, as if the only way to preserve himself was to surrender.
"Hmm?" Seeing Wang Yang's solemn face, Goku's expression immediately turned serious as well.
"What's the bad news? Is there a new enemy?"
Goku's mind was entirely focused on opponents.
"Yes. This enemy is truly terrifying. They are the enemies of our lives. I don't think the two of us are a match for them; even if we trained for another thousand or ten thousand years, I wouldn't have the courage to strike at them," Wang Yang said with great gravity.
"They're that strong?" Goku's eyes lit up. "Wang Yang, you told me back then that one should never lose heart or give up, that one must always keep the desire to fight with all their might. How can you have such thoughts now? That won't do at all."
"You don't understand. This enemy is different," Wang Yang shook his head and sighed.
"It's fine. The stronger the opponent, the more excited I get. That just gives me a goal to surpass. If you can't bring yourself to fight later, then leave them to me. I won't hold back." Far from being discouraged, Goku clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.
Goku felt it was impossible for him to lose his fighting spirit like Wang Yang. He felt that at this moment, he had truly surpassed Wang Yang, and he was genuinely looking forward to the arrival of the enemy.
He began throwing punches and kicks into the air, seemingly warming up for the battle ahead.
Heh heh! A strange smile flashed in Wang Yang's eyes.
I hope you're actually brave enough to strike when the time comes.
BOOM!
A deafening roar drew the attention of both Goku and Wang Yang.
"ARGH!"
Wang Sheng let out a furious roar, and the rubble covering his body was blasted away by a surge of immense power.
"What is going on? This guy's power is actually continuing to rise as the battle goes on?" Vegeta stared at Wang Sheng, who had stood back up, his expression one of shock.
In the heat of the battle, the power Wang Yang had sealed away was continuously being unlocked. At this moment, Wang Sheng's strength was like night and day compared to when he started.
I can't let this go on. With this bizarre kid, who knows—if we keep fighting, his combat power might actually surpass mine. Thinking this, Vegeta let out a furious roar, his aura erupting like a tidal wave and blowing the unsuspecting Gohan away.
