The Great Demon King Falls

Jeice and the others nodded, darting rapidly toward the location where Demon King Piccolo was.

Vegeta was speechless; Ginyu was truly persistent, and he hadn't expected him to still be hunting for Demon King Piccolo.

Although Vegeta was faster than Ginyu and his crew while carrying the Guardian, the problem was that they were much closer to Demon King Piccolo than he was.

"This is bad!" Vegeta was completely out of options; if Demon King Piccolo were killed, all his plans would fall through.

The Guardian let out a long sigh, his face twisted in misery. "I can already sense that my life is nearing its end. Vegeta, I fear Shenron will be unable to come forth to assist you."

Vegeta glanced at the Guardian and gritted his teeth, pushing his speed even higher.

After the contest of speed, the four members of the Ginyu Force finally arrived a step ahead to find Demon King Piccolo.

Although Demon King Piccolo had been trying to evade their pursuit, his combat power was simply too low; in their eyes, he possessed no resistance whatsoever.

"My friend, you were the one speaking just now, weren't you?" Ginyu asked, looking at Demon King Piccolo.

"What do you want?" Demon King Piccolo broke into a cold sweat, assuming a combat stance.

"Captain, he appears to be a Namekian," Jeice interjected from the side.

"Oh? How did a Namekian end up on Earth? That is quite strange," Ginyu remarked with surprise.

"Captain, I heard that the Namekian home planet suffered a natural disaster, and many were sent to other worlds. It's normal for him to be on Earth," Jeice noted, showing some knowledge of Namek.

Ginyu nodded, clearly uninterested in the plight of Namek. He looked at Demon King Piccolo with a grin and asked, "Tell me, Vegeta said he would appear shortly—what is he planning to do during this time?"

"We have a strange room here where one day outside is equivalent to a year inside, so Vegeta intends to go there to train," Demon King Piccolo said, struggling to remain calm and speaking earnestly.

Ginyu and the others were stunned upon hearing this.

After a long silence, Ginyu looked at Demon King Piccolo with a mocking smile. "You're lying! One day outside, a year inside? Hmph, go tell that lie to a ghost!"

"I've said what I had to say; believe it or not!" Demon King Piccolo shook his head.

"I'll ask you one last time: what exactly is Vegeta trying to do?" Ginyu asked, his face darkening.

Demon King Piccolo was so frustrated he felt like vomiting blood. Driven by a surge of fury, he suddenly erupted into action. A violent storm of energy released from his hands surged toward Ginyu and the others as he shouted, "Earth is mine! You are not allowed to occupy my Earth!"

Ginyu and his men burst into laughter, completely ignoring the attack.

When the storm subsided, Ginyu and his men stood before Demon King Piccolo, completely unscathed.

Demon King Piccolo broke into a cold sweat, trembling so violently he could barely stand.

"Earth is yours? That sounds quite pleasant," Ginyu said, rubbing his nose and smiling at him. Then, his expression turned grim, and he said coldly, "One last chance. Tell me, what is Vegeta trying to accomplish by stalling for time?"

"I already told you," Demon King Piccolo smiled. "He is training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to find a way to defeat you."

At these words, Ginyu's face turned exceptionally dark. He stepped forward, grabbed Demon King Piccolo by the throat, and sneered, "You didn't take the chance I gave you. You can die now!"

"I already told you," Demon King Piccolo chuckled, "he is training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, trying to find a way to defeat you all."

At these words, Ginyu's expression turned exceptionally grim. He stepped forward, seized Demon King Piccolo by the throat, and sneered, "I gave you a chance you couldn't grasp; now, you can die!"

With that, Ginyu hurled Demon King Piccolo into the distance.

"Bang!"

A blinding beam of pure energy tore through Demon King Piccolo's chest. When he was looked at again, a deep, ghastly hole gaped in his chest, a truly shocking sight.
