The battle below had ended…

Piccolo fired a light beam from his eyes the instant Amond's high-speed spinning attack stalled, burning out Amond's scouter. The explosion momentarily obscured their vision with smoke, allowing Piccolo to seize the opening and deliver a fatal blow.

After a year of harsh training, Piccolo had greatly increased the activation speed of his Special Beam Cannon. He could fire it after a brief charge, and one hit pierced Amond's heart directly.

Meanwhile, Krillin and Yamcha's teamwork was remarkably synchronized, pushing Dez to a dead end. The tracking ability of the Spirit Ball, combined with the powerful cutting effect of the Kikoho, left Dez vulnerable from all sides, and he fell under the double strike.

On the other side, Tien Shinhan used the Solar Flare to blind Kakao's eyes, then relentlessly suppressed him with the Kikoho, nearly piercing the ground and blasting him deep underground.

Gohan and Tien had been struggling, at a disadvantage. However, the Reiz and Lakasei brothers made a mistake; eager to kill, they pummeled Tien until he spat blood and fell. They then unleashed an energy blast, intending to finish them off. Thus, Gohan erupted…

It's a well-known saying: don't go into a beam struggle with anyone from the Son family, and don't make Gohan angry.

The erupting Gohan moved at extreme speed to block in front of Tien, and in his rage, his Masenko blinded them and shattered their bodies. The unfortunate brothers' expressions froze on their deathly still faces, and they shouted "Impossible" three times before dying.

The warriors gathered, carrying Tien to where Nappa, who was unable to fight, was resting. Then, they all flew towards the Sacred Tree.

Raditz saw them.

"Raditz, what do we do now? This Saiyan's Ki is unimaginably strong; I doubt even all of us together could defeat him," Tien said worriedly.

Forget all of us together, even ten of us wouldn't make a difference. Raditz looked at Turles' immense figure and shook his head.

"Damn it! This Saiyan's move is too terrifying!"

"Isn't there any way? If we cut off his tail, we can deal with him, right?"

"Easier said than done. He's surely prepared for that, and if we make a mistake, we could die." Piccolo was more cautious, knowing that cutting off the tail wouldn't be easy.

Raditz took a deep breath, suddenly looked at everyone, his eyes sharp, and said, "It's not impossible, but everyone has to contribute. Remember, we only get one chance! Here's how…"

Everyone listened as Raditz briefly explained the battle plan and felt it was the only way.

"Let's go."

Led by Raditz, everyone lined up on the ruins, their faces and bodies bearing injuries of varying degrees, their clothes tattered and covered in dust. They were about to face an incredibly powerful enemy, and it was highly likely they would die, yet everyone's expression was resolute. It was a courage that wouldn't falter even if an energy blast was aimed directly at their foreheads.

The wind blew across their cheeks, bringing a cool chill. The Great Ape's blinding light sweep had ended, and the time had come.

"Haha, I didn't expect to be fighting alongside so many people," Krillin charged out, using laughter to alleviate his inner unease.

"This might be the last time. Cherish it," Tien Shinhan was the second to depart.

"We can win!"

As Raditz shouted, the others dispersed and attacked!

Krillin, running first, threw his Kikoho. The spinning disc rapidly approached Turles' tail, and a hit would end the battle.

A strong wind attacked from behind, and Ki waves surged. The Kikoho was only a few meters away from Turles' tail, and the powerful impact was almost touching his body. At this very moment, Turles moved!

His feet moved!

With strange, backward-sideways steps, he agilely twisted his waist, concealing his tail. Who would have thought such a massive body could be so nimble? The Kikoho sliced past Turles' hip and shot into the sky.

In the next second, with excellent core strength, he sprang back like a coiled spring, unleashing a surging energy beam towards Krillin!

"Move aside!" Raditz, seeing the danger, fired an energy blast first, pushing Krillin away.

Turles was stunned, not expecting such a maneuver.

But then, a roar echoed from the sky. Gohan unleashed his Masenko. The weak attack didn't make Turles pay attention; he laughed and raised his head, facing Gohan directly, taking the hit.

"Boom!"

An explosion occurred on Turles' face, but he was unharmed.

"Brat, you dare challenge me with such little power?"

"Then how about this?"

Tien Shinhan shouted from behind Turles' head. Instinctively, Turles turned his head, only to be met with the Solar Flare!

The blinding light instantly turned his vision white, robbing him of his sight. At this moment, Krillin had his second Kikoho ready and swung it fiercely!

This time, Krillin aimed for the base of Turles' tail, intending to remove it completely. Wouldn't it be even better if half his backside was sliced off?

Just as the Kikoho was about to succeed, the Great Ape Turles suddenly fell, rolled over, and dodged the slicing attack once more.

"Damn it, I failed!"

"You vermin, using such tricks." Turles' eyes twitched as his vision slowly returned, his anger intensifying. If he hadn't thought quickly, he might have been successfully ambushed.

Enraged, he leaped up, his fists swinging rapidly, knocking Tien Shinhan away and down. He then turned, opened his mouth, and unleashed a shockwave at Gohan. Gohan panicked, momentarily unsure of what to do.

Just as the white shockwave was about to engulf Gohan, a faint glow appeared on its surface, blocking the blast! Piccolo and Goku appeared beside Gohan, both exerting their full power to protect him. Ki energy exploded, the surrounding wind howled, and countless fragments of the ground were lifted into the energy vortex.

Raditz seized this opportunity to leap up, and Yamcha also gracefully spun and charged forward.

"Solar Flare!" Tien Shinhan's cold shout echoed from the sky again.

Turles was greatly alarmed but dared not look back again. He directly unleashed an energy blast upwards, hitting Tien Shinhan once more.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Tien Shinhan before him once again! A clone from the Multi-Form Technique!

"How…"

Before he could finish speaking, the light of the Solar Flare engulfed him. At the same time, Krillin launched another Kikoho, and Piccolo extended his elongated arm, locking onto Turles' body and immobilizing him.

The coordination was perfect.

Opportunity knocks but once.

Turles was astonished; this attack went beyond his expectations. He had originally planned to eliminate Tien Shinhan first, then deal with Gohan, but who knew their ultimate moves would be so bizarre! At this moment, his body was restrained, his vision was gone, and the situation was incredibly perilous. It was not just possible that his tail could be cut off, but his entire body could be sliced open.

The Destructo Disc sliced forward with killing intent, even cleaving a long crack into the ground...

"Get lost!"

Turles gritted his teeth, and a surge of angry Ki suddenly burst outward, shattering Piccolo's arm and blowing it to pieces. Although Piccolo held on, he was forced to retreat in the face of such overwhelming power.

Not only that, but Turles immediately took a step forward, unleashing a blast of Ki that formed an invisible barrier, deflecting the Destructo Disc!

The Destructo Disc flew skyward once more, and the hearts of everyone present sank.

It's over...

"It's not over yet!"

Krillin's fingers flew, and a massive Spirit Ball came from the heavens, catching the Destructo Disc. Using the Spirit Ball's energy, he forcefully pushed the Destructo Disc back towards Turles!

Just a little bit more!

The Spirit Ball's power wasn't enough to break through the Great Ape's Ki barrier!

At the critical moment, Vegeta appeared. His attack was fully charged and aimed directly at Turles. Raditz's Shining Impact Wave, unleashed at full power in his x5 Kaio-ken state, followed closely behind. The attacks of the two Saiyans shattered the obstruction!

The air vibrated violently, and the ground split open with a roar, scattering rocks and earth!

The Destructo Disc shot forward again, touching Turles's tail! In that instant, Turles regained his vision and used an astonishing Energy Blast to knock the Destructo Disc away. Blood seeped from his tail, but it still hadn't been severed.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Turles laughed wildly and unrestrainedly. In response, everyone else was at a loss for what to do.

"Hahahahahaha... Ha... Ah..." Turles's expression changed drastically, his body froze, and he slowly began to transform...

Behind him, a samurai sword cleanly severed his tail.

"Ya... Yajirobe?!"

Everyone stared in disbelief.

Indeed, at the crucial moment, you need a Yajirobe.

Sticking together and going solo will both have their moments.
