Tricked

Jeice and Recoome's eyes bulged in shock, and they nearly tumbled from mid-air.

"Ginyu, is that all you've got?" Vegeta pulled out a tissue Bulma had given him, wiped the dust from his face, and looked at Captain Ginyu with a grin.

"You... stop putting on such a front! You must have been heavily injured by that last strike!" Captain Ginyu snorted coldly.

"True, I am injured." Vegeta bared his teeth in a smile. "But now it's my turn to attack. You'd better be ready."

As he spoke, Vegeta suddenly extended his right hand toward Ginyu. A flash of intense light erupted, and a powerful blast of energy surged forward, heading straight for Ginyu's position.

Ginyu's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Fast!

It was too fast!

Ginyu gritted his teeth and dodged to the side.

However, the massive shockwave still grazed his arm as it tore into the sky.

"Ah..."

Ginyu let out a miserable scream. Once the powerful shockwave had passed, he looked down in horror to find that his left arm had vanished.

The sight left Jeice and Recoome trembling in fear, desperate to flee the scene immediately.

"We both have a battle power of 120,000, but it seems I'm a bit stronger than you." Vegeta rubbed his nose.

Ginyu's face was ashen. He was baffled—how could a simple blast from Vegeta cost him his arm?

In truth, Ginyu had no idea that Vegeta's battle power had long since far surpassed his own; the man had simply been hiding it masterfully.

"This is impossible! This is impossible!" Ginyu roared, refusing to believe the reality before him.

"Alright, the outcome is decided. You can go report to King Yemma now!" Vegeta extended his right hand once more, aiming at Ginyu.

Ginyu's expression turned ghastly, his eyes wide and his teeth clenched.

"Pfft..."

Yet, at this critical juncture, Vegeta suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The bright red blood looked jarring against the sky, like a beautiful, crimson rainbow.

Everyone watching the battle was stunned, including the Guardian, who was secretly observing from below.

Everything was fine a moment ago, so why was he coughing up blood?

Ginyu was even more bewildered. What the hell? Is he playing with me?

Just as he was about to be killed by Vegeta, the man had started bleeding in front of everyone.

Ginyu felt a surge of excitement. This looks like a good opportunity. Should I take advantage of this to finish him off?

Yes, opportunity knocks but once. If I don't act now, when will I?

Ginyu didn't hesitate, preparing to land a lethal blow while Vegeta was distracted by his coughing fit.

However, just as Ginyu prepared to strike, he saw Vegeta cough up even more blood. A moment later, he was pleasantly surprised to see Vegeta's face turn deathly pale.

"Not good..." Vegeta muttered, his body swaying unsteadily.

In the blink of an eye, Vegeta slowly descended toward the ground, struggling to stand once he landed.

"Vegeta, what are you trying to do?" Ginyu had intended to land a heavy blow, but he realized he didn't even need to lift a finger; the guy was already severely injured.

"This is impossible! This is impossible!" Vegeta shrieked. "You tricked me! I'll make you pay for this!"

"What's going on?" Ginyu landed on the ground, his face full of confusion.

Jeice and Recoome's eyes bulged in shock, and they nearly tumbled from mid-air.

"Ginyu, is that all you've got?" Vegeta pulled out a tissue Bulma had given him, wiped the dust from his face, and looked at Captain Ginyu with a grin.

"You... stop putting on such a front! You must have been heavily injured by that last strike!" Captain Ginyu snorted coldly.

"True, I am injured." Vegeta bared his teeth in a smile. "But now it's my turn to attack. You'd better be ready."

Ginyu's face was ashen. He was baffled—how could a simple blast from Vegeta cost him his arm?

In truth, Ginyu had no idea that Vegeta's combat power had long since far surpassed his own; the man had simply been cleverly concealing it.

"This is impossible, this is impossible!" Ginyu flew into a rage, refusing to believe the reality of the situation.

"Enough, the outcome is decided. You can go report to King Yemma now!" Vegeta extended his right hand once more, aiming it directly at Ginyu's position.

Ginyu's expression turned ghastly, his eyes wide and his teeth gritted in fury.

"Pfft..."

Yet, at this critical juncture, Vegeta suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The bright red blood looked jarring in mid-air, forming a crimson arc that was strangely beautiful.

Everyone watching the battle was stunned, including the Guardian, who had been secretly observing the fight from below.

Everything had been fine—why was he suddenly coughing up blood?

Ginyu was even more bewildered, completely at a loss. What the hell, is he messing with me?

Just as he was about to be killed by Vegeta, the man had spat blood in front of everyone.

A surge of excitement rose in Ginyu's heart. It seemed this was a golden opportunity; should he take this chance to cripple him?

Hmm, opportunity knocks but once. If I don't strike now, when will I?

Ginyu hesitated no longer, preparing to deliver a lethal blow while Vegeta was distracted by his blood-spitting.

However, just as Ginyu prepared to move, he saw Vegeta spit blood again. The next moment, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Vegeta's face had turned deathly pale.

"Not good..." Vegeta let out a soft cry, his entire body swaying unsteadily.

In the blink of an eye, Vegeta drifted slowly toward the ground, only managing to stand with great difficulty once he landed.

"Vegeta, what are you trying to do?" Ginyu had intended to seize the chance to land a heavy blow, but he realized he didn't even need to lift a finger; the guy was already severely wounded.

"This is impossible, this is impossible!" Vegeta shouted at the top of his lungs. "You lied to me! I'll make you pay!"

"What's going on?" Ginyu landed on the ground as well, his face full of confusion.
