Sun Wuxiu Takes Action

"Annoying flies!!"

Nappa was thoroughly fed up with these Earthlings whose "power levels were only a few thousand."

Although their attacks could not inflict fatal injuries on him, they kept him from defeating Piccolo quickly.

Especially that disc the bald one had thrown out—the Destructo Disc—which had actually cut his cheek!

"Bastards!!! I'll kill all of you!!"

Nappa flew into a rage.

He no longer held back. Terrifying white aura burst from his entire body, and his speed surged.

"Bang!"

Tien Shinhan was punched away and slammed into the rocks, his fate unknown.

"Smack!"

Yamcha's leg was broken by a kick, and he fell to the ground screaming.

"Hehehe... who's next?"

Nappa licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his cruel eyes suddenly locked onto Son Gohan, who had been firing energy blasts from afar.

"That little brat... he's a Saiyan too, right?"

"So you were the one throwing those harmless little balls of light from over there?"

"Since you're Kakarot's son, I'll send you on your way first and distract your father!!"

With a sinister grin, Nappa vanished in an instant.

"Gohan!! Run!!"

Piccolo's face changed drastically. He wanted to save him, but it was already too late.

Nappa was too fast. He appeared behind Gohan almost instantly.

"Die, brat!!"

Nappa raised his massive fist high, then brought it crashing down at Gohan's young head with a shrieking gust of wind!

If that punch landed, Gohan would certainly die!

"No!!!"

In the distance, Chi-Chi, watching the battle through Fortuneteller Baba's Crystal Ball, let out a desperate scream.

At that critical moment.

"Smack."

A soft sound rang out.

Nappa's giant fist, powerful enough to shatter rocks, suddenly stopped in midair.

It was as if it had been clamped tightly in a pair of iron pincers, completely unable to move.

"Huh?!"

Nappa froze, instinctively trying to yank his hand back, only to find that he could not pull it free at all.

He followed the hand gripping his wrist with his eyes.

A tall, upright man had appeared in front of Gohan at some unknown moment.

One hand was in his pocket, while the other casually held Nappa's wrist. A cold, utterly warmthless smile rested on his face.

"You want to touch my nephew?"

Sun Wuxiu tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes seeming to stare at a corpse.

"How many lives do you have to pay for that?"

"Y-you're that Kaxiu?!"

Nappa's eyes widened, cold sweat instantly streaming down his face.

In that brief moment, he had not even seen how this man had appeared!

And this power...

"L-let go!!"

Nappa roared in terror, gathering an energy blast in his other hand to strike Sun Wuxiu.

"Too weak."

Sun Wuxiu spoke calmly.

The hand gripping Nappa's wrist suddenly twisted downward.

"Crack!!!"

It was the crisp, grating sound of bone being crushed.

"AAAAARGH!!!"

Nappa let out a pig-slaughtering scream as his entire arm was forcibly twisted into a grotesque spiral.

The immense force made him drop to both knees, trying to ease the agonizing pain in his arm.

"Boom!!"

Nappa's massive body crashed heavily to the ground, his knees smashing two deep pits into the earth.

At that moment.

The entire battlefield fell silent.

Son Goku and Vegeta, who had been locked in fierce combat, both stopped and looked over.

Goku maintained his Kaioken, his body glowing red. Seeing this, he grinned.

"Hehe, big brother finally made his move."

Meanwhile, Vegeta's pupils contracted sharply, his face turning incomparably grim.

"That useless Nappa... actually got..."

Sun Wuxiu ignored the gazes around him.

He remained in that downward-looking posture, staring at Nappa as he knelt before him and screamed.

"U-Uncle!"

Gohan snapped out of his daze behind him. Looking at that tall back, his eyes filled with admiration and reassurance.

"Be good. Close your eyes."

Without turning around, Sun Wuxiu said, "What comes next isn't for children to see."

Gohan obediently closed his eyes.

Sun Wuxiu turned around and looked at Nappa, whose face was drenched in cold sweat and twisted in agony.

"In your next life, remember to keep your eyes open."

Before his words had faded.

Sun Wuxiu released Nappa's wrist, then immediately lashed out with his right leg like a whip.

He did not use his full strength, but the kick struck Nappa's spine with absolute precision.

"Crack—!!!"

A bone-chilling snapping sound rang across the battlefield.

"Pfft—"

Nappa spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. His entire body instantly went limp, like a heap of mud.

His spine had been crushed.

He was not dead, but he was completely crippled.

Sun Wuxiu withdrew his foot in disgust. As if he were dealing with trash, he casually grabbed one of Nappa's legs and flung him away.

"Whoosh—"

Nappa's massive body flew away like a rag doll, landing precisely at Vegeta's feet in the distance.

"Here, take him back."

Sun Wuxiu clapped his hands, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his spotless hand as he said flatly,

"Dogs that bite people at random should be taken home and dealt with by their owners."

Vegeta lowered his head and looked at the twitching heap at his feet—Nappa, now completely crippled.

Nappa painfully raised his head, his mouth full of blood, and reached a hand toward Vegeta.

"Ve... Vegeta... save... save me..."

Vegeta's gaze was terrifyingly cold. There was no pity in it, only deep disgust.

"A Saiyan who cannot move... has no value."

"Nappa, you have disappointed me too much."

Vegeta reached out and grabbed Nappa's hand.

Just as Nappa thought Vegeta was going to pull him up.

Vegeta suddenly exerted force and threw Nappa high into the air.

"Vegeta?!! What are you doing?!!!"

Nappa let out a desperate howl in midair.

"Goodbye, Nappa."

Vegeta brought two fingers together, gathering a dazzling flash at his fingertips.

"Since you're already useless, then... become fireworks!!"

"Boom—!!!"

The beam instantly swallowed Nappa's body.

A violent explosion blossomed in the sky like brilliant fireworks, blasting Nappa completely into ashes.

The entire battlefield fell deathly silent.

Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha... everyone was too stunned by the scene to say a word.

This was what Saiyans were like...

This was Vegeta...

He could kill even a companion who had been by his side for years without the slightest hesitation!

Such coldness and cruelty made everyone shudder.

Vegeta lowered his hand as though he had merely done something insignificant.

He turned around, his gaze passing over Goku and locking firmly onto Sun Wuxiu in the distance.

His eyes burned with frenzied fighting spirit and fury.

"Very good... Kaxiu."

"You have successfully enraged me."

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!!"

"But before that..."

Vegeta looked at Goku, who stood before him glowing red.

"I'll kill this red monkey first to warm up!!"
