At this moment, the sound of something tearing through the sky rang out.

Raditz's scouter suddenly began to pulse, causing him to look up at the sky.

He spotted a green-skinned fellow and someone who looked like the guardian of this planet, but because the distance was still too great, he could not clearly make out their features.

However, as the scouter stabilized and measured their combat powers at 500 and 550 respectively, he immediately set his mind at ease and wore an expression of disdain.

"Mere trash with combat powers of only around 500, yet you dare to look down on me from the sky without descending? I see you have already chosen your own path to death!"

Raditz curled his lips into a cold sneer and raised his hand, firing two *Ki Blast*s into the air, intending to knock the two of them down.

But the two in the sky did not dodge or evade, taking the two *Ki Blast*s head-on.

BOOM!!!

The sound of an explosion followed, and as the smoke cleared, it revealed the two of them completely unscathed. They then descended to the ground, revealing their appearances.

They were Piccolo and Son Goku, who had removed their weighted gear.

With their current combat power, an ordinary Ki Blast could no longer cause them much damage.

"Hm? You're actually fine? But you're still just two little pieces of trash with combat powers of over 500. Watch how your Uncle Raditz cleans you up."

After speaking, Raditz walked forward, but when he saw Son Goku's face clearly, he frowned.

"Is it you? Kakarot, your face is exactly the same as our old man's! But tell me, why haven't you completed your mission?"

When Son Goku and Piccolo saw the tail coiled around Raditz's waist, they immediately understood that he was the Saiyan whom He Lingxuan said would invade Earth.

Although Piccolo still had strong opinions about He Lingxuan, Son Goku's hostility toward him had lessened after He Lingxuan taught him the Kaioken and methods to become stronger.

Facing this clearly malicious Saiyan, both of them showed vigilance. Even Piccolo had removed his weighted gear while in the air to avoid being killed instantly due to a massive gap in combat power.

Hearing Raditz's words directed at him, Son Goku immediately asked, "What do you mean by that? I'm not called Kakarot, my name is Son Goku! And the mission you're talking about wouldn't be conquering planets, would it? I don't think I would ever do such a thing!"

"Oh, really? Then let me, your brother, educate you personally. How about this, I'll give you one last chance."

"Finish off that green-skinned freak beside you and kill 1,000 people, then throw their corpses here. If I watch you do it, I might consider sparing you."

After realizing that their combat power was far inferior to his own, Raditz maintained an extremely arrogant demeanor while issuing orders to Son Goku.

Just as Son Goku was about to retort, Piccolo spoke up: "Son Goku, you can sense that his Ki is much stronger than ours, but he is not invincible—at least, not compared to that guy."

Hearing this, Son Goku turned to look at Piccolo. After exchanging a glance, they attacked Raditz simultaneously.

"How truly ignorant. It seems you don't understand that once the gap in combat power reaches a certain level, numbers are useless!" Raditz mocked with a cold laugh.

As he finished speaking, his figure vanished from where he stood and collided with Son Goku and Piccolo. With just a single exchange, both were sent flying backward, rolling several times on the ground and leaving long furrows before they finally came to a stop.

Piccolo and Son Goku exchanged a look, vanished from two different directions, and threw several *Ki Blast*s to obscure his vision.

Seeing this, Raditz remained unhurried, waiting for them to attack. After all, with such a massive advantage in combat power, playing around was not a bad idea.

But immediately after, the smoke from the *Ki Blast*s obscured his vision, and in that split second, Son Goku and Piccolo attacked with fists and kicks from different directions.

For a moment, they actually managed to put Raditz in a slightly disheveled state. However, Raditz, having regained his composure, exploded with Ki to blast them away and quickly caught up to the retreating Piccolo, using a smooth combo to beat him into a paralyzed state on the ground.

"Yo, you're actually not messing around anymore? That's rare."

He Lingxuan watched the battle with interest from the sidelines, ready to intervene at any moment, but he found that Raditz was slightly different from the original story. He didn't know if it was the butterfly effect, but Raditz had actually prioritized taking out Piccolo.

Seeing this, Son Goku stopped hiding. He erupted with a red aura, halted his backward momentum, and charged back toward Raditz. When Raditz saw Son Goku's current combat power through his scouter, his expression changed drastically.

"1,600 combat power? How is this possible? It's actually 100 points higher than my current combat power! Could it be that he was hiding his strength just now?"

The combat power detected by the scouter made Raditz's face look extremely ugly, but he wasn't too worried; after all, it was only 100 points higher than his own, not enough to crush him to death.

So, steeling his heart, he exploded with Ki once more and engaged Son Goku in a head-on clash.

The two traded blows, fighting from the sky to the ground, destroying the entire farm. The overflowing shockwaves caused the trees around the farm to rustle violently!

Seeing that he was gradually falling into a disadvantage, Raditz shouted to Son Goku: "Kakarot, no matter what, I am your brother! Do you really want to kill me?"

Hearing this, Son Goku's heart softened, and a flaw instantly appeared in his fierce offensive. Seeing this, Raditz seized the opportunity, backhanded a Ki Blast, and followed up with an uppercut, knocking Son Goku unconscious for a split second!

He then followed up with a smooth combo, knocking Son Goku to the ground.

Walking up to the exhausted Son Goku, Raditz arrogantly gloated: "I am indeed your brother, but letting your guard down in battle is not a good habit!"

Looking at Son Goku, who was glaring fiercely at him, Raditz laughed out loud and mocked him.

"Next, I'll find everyone related to you one by one, kill them all in front of you, and then kill everyone on this planet. What will you do then? Hahahaha!"

"Damn it! Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!"

"Twofold Kaioken!"

The already exhausted Son Goku instantly erupted with more than twice his normal combat power, dealing a heavy, near-fatal blow to Raditz!

However, after unleashing a Kaioken that far exceeded his body's current limits, Son Goku, already extremely weak, no longer had a shred of strength left and collapsed to the ground.

But Piccolo, who had been taken out earlier, had recovered. As a Namekian, his regenerative ability was unparalleled; as long as he wasn't killed completely, he could recover.
