"Damn it, Qin Feng's definitely afraid of making a fool of himself in front of everyone, so he's trying to use this as an excuse to run!"
"I finally got back to Earth today, and you're still going to get the beating you deserve!"
Watching Qin Feng fly away, Vegeta gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He turned into a streak of light and chased after him.
Android 18, meanwhile, obediently stayed at the World Martial Arts Tournament venue.
Qin Feng had warned her beforehand that something might happen at the tournament today, and told her to stay put and focus on competing for the prize money.
After more than ten minutes of chasing through the air,
everyone followed Yamu and Spopovich down into a remote valley.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Supreme Kai Shin, Kibito, and the others quickly hid behind rocks, concealing their presence.
Not far away, the two men ran up to a strange building shaped like a giant snail shell.
"Lord Babidi, we failed."
"We ran into a few tough opponents. We couldn't beat them."
Spopovich knelt on the ground, trembling all over as he reported to a monster.
This wizard named Babidi looked like some hideous cross between a pangolin and a caterpillar.
"You pair of useless fools!"
"You didn't get any energy, and you led them right to us!"
"You're just wasting air. Die!"
A vicious glint flashed in Babidi's eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yamu and Spopovich's bodies swelled like balloons and exploded in an instant, sending chunks of flesh flying.
"Hee-hee."
Babidi rubbed his hands together and let out a shrill, eerie laugh.
"Lord Babidi, there are a few little mice hiding behind that hill."
"They look like they've got plenty of energy. Let me take care of them."
Dabura, King of the Demon Realm, stepped forward and volunteered.
"Fine. They're yours."
"Just don't kill them. We're saving them to be power banks for Majin Buu," Babidi ordered sinisterly.
"As you command."
Dabura nodded and accepted the order.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Dabura vanished.
"Damn it! They've spotted us!"
Behind the rocks, Supreme Kai Shin went deathly pale with fright.
Kibito, the red-faced giant, stood rooted to the spot, at a loss.
While the two of them were frozen in shock, Dabura appeared in front of Kibito like a ghost.
"Hee-hee."
With a demonic chuckle, Dabura raised his hand and unleashed a devastating blast.
Boom!
Poor Kibito didn't even have time to scream. His towering body was swallowed by a flash of white light and obliterated on the spot.
"What?!"
Son Goku and Son Gohan were stunned.
Dabura might not have been as strong as they were, but his sneak attack had been fast, precise, and ruthless. It was hard to guard against.
"You bastard!"
"I'll make you pay!"
Watching their companion get killed in an instant, Gohan seethed with rage.
"Haah!"
With a mighty shout, golden light blazed around Gohan as he transformed into a Super Saiyan, ready to take Dabura head-on.
Just then, a sharp whistle cut through the air behind them.
Vegeta had finally caught up.
"Qin Feng! You're not going anywhere until we settle this!"
Before Vegeta had even arrived, he'd already hurled an energy ball at the back of Qin Feng's head.
Smack!
Without even turning around, Qin Feng swatted the energy ball away with one hand.
"Fine."
"I've got nothing better to do anyway. I suppose I can humor you and spar for a bit."
Qin Feng turned to face Vegeta, whose face was alight with fighting spirit.
Who knew what had given this guy the nerve to get so full of himself?
He was about to learn what an insurmountable gap really looked like.
"You're finally willing to fight?"
"For seven years, I've dreamed about this moment!"
Vegeta clenched his fists, his fighting spirit soaring.
"Haah!"
With a feral roar, the entire valley shook violently.
Golden light shot into the sky, and dense blue lightning crackled around Vegeta.
Super Saiyan 2!
"If you think turning Super Saiyan 2 means you can swagger around in front of me, you're pathetically stupid."
Qin Feng kept his hands in his pockets and offered the comment in a calm voice.
"Is that so?"
"Once I've got you under my foot, let's see if you're still so cocky."
Vegeta looked smug.
He was so pleased with himself that he might as well have written "I've got another trick up my sleeve" across his face.
"Hey, can't you go help Gohan take down Dabura first?"
"That monster's the King of the Demon Realm. You can't afford to underestimate him!"
Supreme Kai Shin, sweating profusely, shouted at Vegeta in desperation.
"Quit bothering me!"
"What do I care if someone else dies?"
Vegeta didn't even spare Supreme Kai a glance. Nothing mattered more right now than beating up Qin Feng.
"Don't worry, Supreme Kai. Dabura looks scary, but he's nothing special. Gohan can handle him on his own."
Son Goku watched the show with an easy grin.
While they'd been flying over, Supreme Kai had explained everything that had happened.
Seeing how confident Son Goku looked, Supreme Kai Shin still couldn't help feeling uneasy.
He had no idea what these Earthlings were capable of, but he knew all too well how terrifying the Demon King Dabura was.
Meanwhile,
"Kid, if you don't want me to take you out in one hit, transform already!"
Vegeta taunted Qin Feng.
"With that obnoxious, overconfident attitude, you're begging for a beating."
"I'm going to knock you around until you loosen up."
Qin Feng couldn't help laughing at the sheer arrogance.
He clenched his fists.
Boom!
Brilliant golden light erupted, and fierce blue lightning burst from his body.
Qin Feng entered the Super Saiyan 2 state as well.
"Since Vegeta's already fighting Qin Feng, this is the perfect chance to see how much Qin Feng has improved over the past seven years!"
Son Goku stared intently at the arena.
Qin Feng's potential far surpassed his and Vegeta's. After seven years, there was no way he'd made no progress!
"So you're still a Super Saiyan 2?"
Vegeta looked Qin Feng over, a contemptuous smirk on his lips.
Then he shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.
He was incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Qin Feng, swinging a massive fist at his face.
Qin Feng slid his foot back slightly and leaned away, easily dodging the heavy punch.
At almost the same moment, he snapped up his right leg and lashed out with a vicious roundhouse kick.
Whoosh!
The ear-splitting sonic boom made everyone's scalp tingle.
"So fast!"
Vegeta's expression changed drastically.
He'd put everything into that punch. His momentum had carried him too far, and he had no time to dodge. He could only hurriedly raise both arms to block.
Thud!
Qin Feng's kick slammed into Vegeta's arms like a solid steel pipe.
The tremendous impact sent Vegeta flying.
His feet gouged two deep furrows, each dozens of meters long, into the Alloy Arena before he finally managed to steady himself.
Vegeta's arms were numb, and even his bones were trembling. His face contorted with pain.
"Damn it! How can that brat be so fast and strong?"
Vegeta gritted his teeth, waves of shock crashing through him.
They were both Super Saiyan 2s, but from that brief exchange, he could clearly feel that Qin Feng's base strength completely outclassed his own!
"He's way too fast! If I'd been in Vegeta's place, there's no way I could've dodged that kick!"
Watching from below, Son Goku looked grave, silently marveling.
In the seven years since they'd last met, Qin Feng had become even more monstrous.
"Die!"
Vegeta was seething with rage as he aimed both hands at Qin Feng.
"Haah!"
Golden ki blasts poured out one after another like machine-gun fire.
Faced with Prince Tactics, which posed no threat whatsoever, Qin Feng couldn't even be bothered to dodge. He stood stock-still.
Rumble!
A chain of explosions went off around Qin Feng. Thick smoke billowed as mushroom clouds rose into the sky.
Vegeta knew this attack wouldn't hurt Qin Feng. He was only using the smoke as cover, hoping to misdirect him and strike from the side.
Whoosh!
While Qin Feng was swallowed by the smoke, Vegeta turned into a blur and charged in, throwing a heavy punch straight at Qin Feng's vitals.
Smack!
Unfortunately, his plan failed completely.
A powerful hand clamped around his fist like an iron vise.
Then Qin Feng raised his knee and slammed it into Vegeta's stomach.
"Ugh!"
A huge mouthful of bile came flying out.
Vegeta's vision went black, and the impact sent him soaring into the air.
Whoosh!
Qin Feng vanished and instantly appeared above Vegeta.
He interlaced his fingers and brought both hands down on Vegeta's back like a swinging hammer.
Thud!
Rumble!
Vegeta fell like a meteor, smashing straight through the arena and crashing into the ground, where he left a huge, bowl-shaped crater.
He lay at the bottom of the pit like a beaten dog, utterly humiliated.
