"Don't try to bargain with me now. You're in no position to."
"Whether you live or die depends entirely on how well you sing 'Liang Liang.' Got it?"
Watching Cell's aggrieved, pleading expression, Qin Feng spoke in an even tone.
Having fused with the cells of countless powerful fighters, the monster had Vegeta's arrogance, Son Goku's airheadedness, Frieza and his father's cunning, Piccolo's shrewdness, and Krillin's cowardice in his very bones.
His personality was a complete hodgepodge.
"Y-yes... I got it."
"Please teach me how to sing it."
With no choice but to bow his head, Cell could only submit with a deeply aggrieved expression.
"Good."
"Follow my rhythm."
"The cool night stretches into a river of longing for you..."
"Turning into spring mud to nurture me..."
Qin Feng started the lesson in all seriousness, giving him the tune.
"Liang..."
"Liang liang ye se... for... for you, my longing flows like a river!"
Cell bellowed in a voice like a broken gong.
His voice was shrill and grating—at least a hundred times worse than a pig being slaughtered.
"You started too high! And then you ran out of breath halfway through!"
Bam!
Qin Feng kicked Cell in the side of the face, sending him flying dozens of meters.
"Get back here and sing it again!"
Qin Feng barked coldly.
"Liang liang ye se... Ahem!"
Though Cell's fighting power was astonishing, he was completely tone-deaf.
The moment he opened his mouth, he went wildly off-key and cracked his voice.
Bam!
The next second, Qin Feng flashed forward and struck him with another powerful side kick, sending him flying again.
"Yikes..."
Seeing Cell's miserable fate, Krillin in the distance and Piccolo and the others at Kami's Lookout even started to feel a little sorry for the monster.
The tune really was hard to get right.
They'd tried humming a couple of lines to themselves, but none of them could find the right feel either.
Not far away.
Android 18 had been staring in a daze from where she sat slumped amid the rubble.
Her eyes, hazy with fascination, were fixed on Qin Feng.
This man was ridiculously powerful. He was toying with the most terrifying monster in the world as if it were a dog!
The sheer force of his presence had completely shattered Android 18's icy demeanor.
She felt unbearably hot, and her thighs were already soaked.
Again and again, Cell was kicked flying.
Again and again, he came scrambling back.
The venom in his eyes grew more intense with every passing moment.
But to stay alive, he could only grit his teeth and endure this endless humiliation.
"You sing so terribly it's unbearable. Listening to you is pissing me off."
"Trash like you would be better off going straight to hell!"
After toying with him for a few rounds, Qin Feng had completely lost patience.
He had no real desire to kill Vegeta, but Cell was different.
The monster was pure evil. In the early stages of his growth, he'd drained several towns of their inhabitants to increase his power, leaving not a trace behind.
"Y-you promised you'd spare my life if I sang well!"
Cell sensed the murderous intent coming from Qin Feng, and beads of cold sweat instantly ran down his face.
After humiliating him in public for so long, this guy had never planned to let him go?
That was just too cruel!
"I told you, the condition was that you sing well enough to make me happy."
"But you've just been howling like a stray dog. You haven't cooperated at all."
"Do you think I'm enjoying that?"
Qin Feng looked down at Cell with a mocking expression.
His face plainly said: I'm messing with you. I'm picking on you. What are you going to do about it?
"You bastard!"
"Even bullying someone has its limits!"
Cell sprang to his feet, his eyes blazing with fury.
So this little punk had been treating him like a monkey the whole time!
"Go to hell!"
Driven to the brink by his humiliation, Cell flew into a frenzy. Two enormous energy spheres gathered in his hands, and he hurled them at Qin Feng.
Rumble!
The energy spheres exploded with a thunderous boom.
Qin Feng's body was instantly swallowed by a vast cloud of dust.
"Ha da da da..."
Cell looked completely deranged as he alternated between his hands, firing a deluge of ki blasts.
The entire island crumbled under the relentless bombardment.
"Huff... huff..."
After blasting the area for a full two minutes, Cell finally stopped. Bent over, he gasped for breath.
The dust gradually cleared.
Qin Feng's tall, imposing figure appeared once more.
Without a scratch!
There wasn't even a speck of dust on his clothes!
"Are you done throwing your tantrum, Cell?"
"Go to hell and repent for all the people you killed!"
Qin Feng's voice was icy.
Whoosh!
A sharp sound tore through the air as Qin Feng instantly appeared right in front of Cell.
His clenched right fist shot out like lightning and slammed into Cell's abdomen.
"Gah!"
A mouthful of purple-green slime mixed with blood sprayed out.
Cell dropped to his knees, his features twisted in pain as he began violently vomiting.
With a convulsive heave, he actually spat out Android 17, whom he'd swallowed earlier!
"Android 17!"
Seeing this, Android 18 couldn't help crying out.
"Cell, your time's up."
Qin Feng aimed his palm at Cell's head, and a blinding golden energy sphere instantly took shape.
"D-don't kill me!"
"Please, spare me..."
Sensing death drawing near, Cell sobbed and sniveled, frantically kowtowing as he begged for mercy.
He was so close!
He was just one step away from achieving the perfect form he'd dreamed of!
A wave of resentment filled his chest, and the sheer injustice of it nearly drove him mad.
Whoosh!
Qin Feng didn't waste a word. He hurled the golden energy sphere.
Rumble!
A blinding white light swallowed everything around them.
Cell's battered body and the last remaining island beneath his feet vanished in the dazzling light, leaving not even a single cell behind.
"Cell's ki... It's completely gone?"
Trunks closed his eyes and sensed the area carefully. There wasn't the slightest trace of the monster's ki anywhere.
That meant Cell was well and truly dead.
"Yes! The monster's finally dead!"
Krillin danced around excitedly, cheering.
He'd thought they were all doomed today, but then a super-powered big shot had appeared out of nowhere.
Krillin sneaked a few glances at Qin Feng, feeling a chill run down his spine. This guy's ridiculously strong. He might even be more of a monster than Goku!
At Kami's Lookout.
Piccolo and Tien Shinhan also let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness! The crisis is over! That Saiyan's an unbeatable monster!" Tien Shinhan exclaimed, pumping his fist.
Piccolo's lips curled into a faint smile.
The fact that yet another insanely powerful Saiyan had appeared on Earth did bother him, but as long as the monster had been eliminated and Earth was safe, that was all that mattered.
On Earth, amid the ruins.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the selection task: Defeat Cell!"
"Reward issued: Side-Effect-Free 10x Kaioken, plus Android 18's devotion."
The system's cold notification echoed in Qin Feng's mind.
