Ropa and Rona arrived at Son Gohan's location in an incredibly short span of time!

"Hey, you brat, who are you??"

After bringing Rosa over, Son Gohan did not attack; instead, he let him go!

Rosa retreated repeatedly, hiding at a distance he deemed safe!

Ropa and Rona arrived at the same time!

"Big Brother!? What's the situation?" Ropa asked.

"Kill!!" Rona was brief, his entire body radiating terrifying killing intent.

"I don't know. Be careful, that guy has a strange ability—he brought me here in an instant!" Rosa's expression was grave.

"Heh. You're all here, then. Let me introduce myself: I am a member of the Galactic Patrol, Son Gohan. I'm not here for anything else—either I beat you to death, or I get beaten to death by you!" Son Gohan said with a smile.

Swish!!

Before Rosa or Ropa could speak, Rona pulled a three-meter-long broadsword from out of nowhere and, with a single Cleaving Mountain strike, hacked fiercely toward Son Gohan!

The moment Rona moved, Son Gohan slowly raised his palm, white energy enveloping his right hand!!

Clang!!! Swish!!! Clang, clang, clang!!

Rona's broadsword swung in a blur, erupting with a series of ringing metallic echoes!

Son Gohan's body remained motionless! His right hand moved with lightning speed; every strike Rona threw was met with a flick of his finger, precisely hitting the blade's weak point!

Watching Son Gohan's movements, Merus couldn't help but show an appreciative look: "Good kid, I underestimated you!"

Little did they know, Son Gohan's actions were the direct result of the training with the Puppet created by Mr. Popo!

Beyond just footwork, what Son Gohan had learned was the precise control of his body's power!

Even the energy wrapped around his palm was just enough to block Rona's force—any more, and the blade would shatter; any less, and his fingers would be injured!

"Impossible... Rona's Butcher Blade is made of high-density metal we collected across several galaxies. He's blocking it easily with just his energy!!" Rosa's pupils constricted, and a vague sense of foreboding rose in his heart!

"Second brother, find a chance to run. I have a bad feeling about this!" Rosa whispered to Ropa.

"Big Brother!! What about Third Brother??" Although Ropa was greedy, he wasn't stupid. The reason the three brothers could escape the Galactic Patrol time and again—aside from the Patrol never sending true experts—was that Rosa's sixth sense was incredibly accurate!

More accurate than a woman's!!

He didn't know if that was why he was so lecherous!!

"This premonition is very bad. Let's save who we can. If Third Brother gets caught, we can find a way to rescue him later. As far as I know, the Galactic Patrol usually doesn't execute on the spot; they take them back for sentencing to show off their authority!" The eldest brother was quite familiar with the Patrol's policies.

But what he didn't know was that Son Gohan was a new recruit...

Back to Son Gohan!!

"What?? Done hacking?" Son Gohan looked at the stopped Rona in surprise.

The cold, ruthless expression on Rona's face had shifted into shock!!

"You... you're strong!" Although Rona was surprised, the killing intent deep within him grew even thicker.

The murderous aura surged out incessantly.

"Such a strong baleful aura, such resentment. Just how many people have you killed? Someone like you—if you went to the Underworld, even Hell wouldn't have room for you!!" Son Gohan frowned!

"You... are worth me using my full power!"

Rona held the three-meter-long broadsword horizontally across his chest, gripped the blade with his left hand, and slowly slid it toward the hilt. His palm was sliced open, and fresh blood soaked the blade!!

"Blood Slaughter! Third Brother is actually using this move??" Ropa was stunned.

"It seems Third Brother also realizes that guy isn't simple!!" Rosa's eyes darted around, contemplating an escape plan!

He dared not act rashly. From the superpower Son Gohan used to bring him here, he understood that escaping wouldn't be easy!! Unless Son Gohan was pinned down and had no opening to activate his skills!

Third Brother's desperate struggle provided that opportunity!

Rona didn't use Blood Slaughter lightly, as it was a skill that drained his lifespan!

He used his own blood, along with the resentment and baleful aura within it, to feed the Butcher Blade!

The blade had devoured countless lives in Rona's hands and had long since fused with him. Feeding it his blood further ignited the killing intent and sharpness of the weapon!

"Damn, I'm playing Dragon Ball, and you're playing xianxia with me?" Son Gohan felt an inexplicable sense of annoyance.

"Kill!!!"

Under the nourishment of Rona's blood, the three-meter broadsword became razor-sharp, its baleful aura piercing the sky. The moment he swung it, it felt as if millions of vengeful ghosts were following in its wake! Simultaneously, under Rona's all-out effort, the physical blade suddenly extended by three meters—this extension was formed entirely of energy!!

Having killed so many, even his aura had turned blood-red. Rona was surrounded by a crimson flame, wielding a six-meter Butcher Blade; man and sword became one as he slashed toward Son Gohan!

At this moment, with Rona's full power unleashed, his combat power had climbed to around 80 million!

"Come on! King Kai Fist, eightfold!!" Son Gohan gathered his energy, erupting instantly. The white energy surrounding him transformed into a flame-like red!

Rona's aura was cold and filled with soaring resentment!

Son Gohan's was the exact opposite—scorching hot!

"Die!" Rona slashed down from high above, attempting to split Son Gohan in two.

Son Gohan didn't dodge, his eyes fixed intently on the blade...

The muscles in his hands bulged with veins, Pa!!!

The outcome was unexpected. Son Gohan wasn't split in two, but instead caught the blade barehanded, his palms gripping the Butcher Blade with steady precision and force!!

The energy carried by the Butcher Blade directly carved a massive, unfathomable canyon behind Son Gohan!

"He... he... caught it??" Ropa's eyes widened.

"King Kai Fist? That move North Kai created?" Merus mused thoughtfully.

Seeing his Butcher Blade caught barehanded, Rona showed no panic, but the killing intent in his eyes burned even hotter!

He gripped the hilt with both hands and began to twist forcefully!

Son Gohan felt a tremendous force compelling the blade to flip, and he instantly let go!

Swoosh, Chii!!

The moment he released it, the six-meter-long Butcher Blade swept like a thousand troops, directly slashing towards Son Gohan's waist!

Son Gohan dodged the blade with an Iron Bridge maneuver, a strand of hair hanging from his forehead being sliced off by the blade!

"You're pushing your luck!!" Son Gohan roared in anger.

Whoosh!!

Son Gohan instantly moved at high speed behind Rona, raising his foot and delivering a fierce kick to his lower back!

Boom!!

Rona was instantly kicked to the ground, the impact creating a massive crater in the earth!

"I never thought I'd use Vegeta's Prince Tactics one day!! Adadadadada!"

Son Gohan aimed at the crater, unleashing countless ki blasts from his hands, bombarding Rona!

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!

Each ki blast exploded the moment it hit Rona. Rona had no choice but to plunge the Butcher Blade into the ground, using it as a shield!

"Doesn't he know this kind of attack is futile?" Rona was utterly confused by Son Gohan's actions!

Son Gohan continued to unleash ki blasts until Rona was completely enveloped in the stirred-up dust. Only then did Son Gohan stop!

Although he stopped the mindless ki blast attack, he began to charge energy at the tip of his right index finger. A small, golden, tangible point of light appeared!!

More and more energy was poured into it!

"Most of your strength comes from that sword, doesn't it? I wonder how much strength you'll have left if I destroy it!! Star Piercer!!"

Whoosh!! A beam of light, as thick as a finger, instantly pierced through the dust, striking directly at the Butcher Blade!

Clang!!

Rona watched with his own eyes as cracks spread all over his prized Butcher Blade!

Crack!!!

The Butcher Blade shattered!

"Impossible... In this universe, no one can shatter the Butcher Blade!!" Rona couldn't believe what he was seeing.

As the Butcher Blade shattered, his combat power instantly plummeted, dropping to fifty million!

"You're asking for death!!!"

His reduced combat power surged again. Blood flowed from Rona's mouth, anger and hatred surging into his heart!

His eyeballs turned red!

"Second Brother, now's the time, run!!" Rosa, seeing their third brother erupt, immediately called out to their second brother to flee!

Two figures shot skyward at extreme speed. They flew less than a hundred meters before suddenly stopping in an unnatural manner!

"You two will just watch!" Merus said calmly.

An invisible pressure forced the two to stop, rendering them unable to speak. Despite struggling, sweat poured down their bodies!

Merus didn't arrest them, but suppressed them!

On Son Gohan's side...

"Kill, kill, kill!!!" Rona had completely lost his mind, moving at high speed towards Son Gohan.

Countless punches and kicks rained down, a chaotic assault on Son Gohan!

Bang bang bang!!

The figures of the two disappeared as they moved at high speed, leaving only the sound of clashing fists and feet!

"Pfft!!" Rona was brutally struck in the abdomen by Son Gohan's elbow, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

But in his crazed state, he ignored his injuries and instead used the opportunity to fiercely embrace Son Gohan!

He rammed his head forcefully towards Son Gohan's head!

CLANG!!!

Son Gohan was left dizzy and disoriented by the headbutt!

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG!!

Seeing that it was effective, Rona slammed his head into Son Gohan even harder!

"Enough... get lost!!" A golden aura erupted instantly from Son Gohan's body, the powerful shockwave sending Rona flying!

"Pah... you damn bastard... go to hell! Sky-Prop Cannon!!" Son Gohan gathered energy in one hand, firing a thick beam of energy that blasted Rona into nothingness!

Not even ashes remained, as he dissolved into wisps of hot air that drifted away into the sky!

After transforming into a Super Saiyan, Son Gohan's combat power had reached an astonishing 700 million!

"A Super Saiyan, is it? Interesting. You may run now!!" Merus withdrew his pressure and vanished from sight!

The Rosa brothers were finally able to move, but seeing Rona killed only filled them with even greater terror!

After all, Rona had been their primary source of combat power.

The golden-haired Son Gohan turned his head, watching the fleeing Rosa brothers, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer of disdain!!

He runs, he chases, he turns them into a pile of ashes!!!

SWISH!!

Son Gohan arrived before them, moving at ten times their speed!

"What? Leaving already?"
