Alien Enemies Arrive, Thousand-Man Force Kills Four Thousand

Above the clear blue sky, a silver streak of light tore through the clouds, and a piercing sonic boom suddenly echoed across the entire mountain range.

The previously gentle mountain breeze instantly stagnated, and the chirping of birds and insects in the forest vanished entirely.

A cold, overbearing, and primal aura, originating from the depths of the cosmos, brutally crushed the entire woodland.

Bulma was still clutching the Four-Star Dragon Ball she had just unearthed, the wild joy on her face not yet faded, when she heard the strange noise overhead and instinctively looked up.

When she saw the small space warship—silver-black, sleek, and radiating a high-tech aesthetic—piercing through the atmosphere, she froze in place, her pupils shrinking violently.

"W-what is that?! A plane? No! That's not an Earth aircraft at all!"

As a top-tier genius scientist from West City, Bulma had been exposed to Earth's most advanced aviation technology, but the design, propulsion method, and flight speed of the ship before her were completely beyond her scope of understanding.

The cold metallic texture and the sharp, angular hull carried a chilling, warlike aura; it was definitely not civilian equipment, but a military combat craft.

Little Goku also stopped his playful antics, gripping his Power Pole tightly. His small face was taut as he stared fixedly at the warship in the sky, instinctively sensing a lethal danger.

"Such a scary aura... It's many times more terrifying than the fiercest beast in the mountains!"

Only Lin Chen's expression sank completely, the sense of crisis in his heart surging to its peak.

It was three days early.

Frieza's reconnaissance team had not arrived according to the system's estimated time at all.

The execution capability of the Universe Emperor was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

[Emergency Warning: Frieza Standard Recon Ship has locked onto ground coordinates!]
[Enemy Unit: One elite scout]
[Enemy Power Level: 4200]
[Enemy Status: Fully armed, equipped with cosmic detection devices and micro-lethal weapons]
[Host Current Base Power Level: 1040, Weakness Seal not yet lifted!]

The system's prompts were heart-wrenching; the gap was clear at a glance.

A power level of 4,200.

In the early days of Earth, this was an absolute dimensional suppression.

When Vegeta first arrived on Earth, his power level was 18,000, sweeping aside everything in his path. While this Frieza elite was far inferior to Vegeta, he was still a monster that Earth could not contend with at this moment.

The peak power level of early Earth martial artists like Master Roshi was barely over two hundred, and Tien Shinhan topped out at three hundred; in the face of a power level of 4,000, they didn't even qualify as ants.

Even the naturally gifted Little Goku, with his current power level of 1,350, wouldn't last three moves even if he gave it his all.

A fourfold power gap seemed hopelessly insurmountable.

But there was not a trace of panic in Lin Chen's eyes; instead, he became completely calm.

Ten years of life-and-death battles on Planet Vegeta, countless times winning against stronger foes and turning the tide in desperate situations, had long since been etched into his bones.

Power level values were merely a base stat; what truly decided victory or defeat were combat experience, the will to kill, mastery of techniques, and his unique Devour and Evolve talent!

"You two, run deep into the forest immediately. Find a hidden place to hide, and no matter what sounds you hear or what you see, do not come out."

Lin Chen turned his head, his voice low and serious, leaving no room for negotiation.

Bulma had never seen him like this—cold, murderous, his entire aura transformed into that of a drawn blade, chilling her to the core.

"What about you?!" Bulma asked urgently.

"I will stop him."

Three simple words, steady and powerful.

Goku immediately stepped forward, gripping his Power Pole: "Big Brother, I'll help too! I'm really good at fighting!"

"You can't beat him," Lin Chen said flatly, blunt and direct. "Your opponents are Earth's wild martial artists; he is a warrior of cosmic conquest who has killed countless people. If you go up there, you'll only be throwing your life away."

Goku's nature was pure; he didn't understand the cruelty of life and death and had no idea how terrifying cosmic warriors were.

Every point of their power was honed through endless slaughter and mountains of corpses; every move was lethal, without bottom lines.

Goku wanted to argue, but was stopped by Lin Chen's stern gaze.

"Protecting her is the greatest help you can give me. Be obedient."

Looking at Lin Chen's serious eyes, Goku gritted his teeth and finally nodded heavily.

"Okay! Then Big Brother, you must be careful!"

Bulma was both afraid and worried. Looking at the young man standing alone in the open forest, she bit her lip: "Lin Chen, don't try to be a hero! If you can't beat him, just run!"

As she finished speaking, she pulled Goku, turned, and rushed into the dense forest to find a hidden cave, not daring to linger for even a second.

The forest soon returned to emptiness.

In the entire mountain wilderness, only Lin Chen remained, facing the cosmic enemy about to land.

BOOM--!

The silver warship crashed to the ground, landing in the clearing a hundred meters away, sending dust billowing and gravel flying.

The hatch hissed open, and a tall, burly cosmic warrior clad in black standard combat armor stepped out slowly.

His skin was a grayish-purple, his eyes narrow and sinister, and his muscles were hard and explosive, with a thick, bloody aura of malice swirling around him.

He was an elite scout of the Frieza Force, having spent years roaming various planets to mop up surviving aliens, his hands stained with countless lives.

The moment the warrior touched down, his cold gaze immediately locked onto Lin Chen, scanning him up and down with eyes full of contempt and mockery.

"Found you."

A low, raspy voice spoke in the universal language of the cosmos, dripping with arrogant indifference.

"The surviving Saiyan that My Lord sensed was indeed hiding on this low-level planet."

"A combat power of just over a thousand—a remnant, a stray dog—to think you managed to escape the Emperor's world-ending attack. You've got some luck."

He didn't consider Lin Chen a threat in the slightest.

Four thousand two hundred versus one thousand; it was like an adult crushing an infant.

In his eyes, this mission was effortless—nothing more than casually wiping out a stray ant before returning to report.

"Surrender obediently, and I'll give you a quick death," the cosmic warrior said, raising his hand to condense a pale purple energy sphere, his tone lazy and mocking. "If you resist, I'll break your limbs, cripple your bloodline, and let you experience endless agony before you die."

Lin Chen stood firmly planted on the ground, his aura completely suppressed, his cold eyes staring straight at his opponent. "Did Frieza send you here to die?"

"Insolent!"

The cosmic warrior's eyes turned icy, his malice surging. "A lowly Saiyan dares to blaspheme the Emperor! Since you have a death wish, I'll crush you!"

Before the words had even faded, he lunged forward!

His speed was so fast he left behind trails of afterimages, purple energy coiled around his fist, and with the thunderous sound of breaking air, he smashed directly toward Lin Chen's head!

Decisive, ruthless, and lethal.

It was a standard cosmic kill-shot; there was no testing the waters, only a finishing move from the start!

With four times the combat power, he held total dominance in speed, strength, and explosive force!

Had it been any other Saiyan of the same level, they would have had no way to block this strike and would have been killed instantly.

But Lin Chen was different.

He had survived a kill-order pursuit from Frieza and had seen the most top-tier cosmic assassination techniques; to him, this seemingly fierce onslaught was riddled with openings.

The extreme reflexes honed through ten years of life-and-death battles reached their peak at this moment!

The instant the fist reached his brow, Lin Chen suddenly dropped his stance, slid, and side-stepped!

He dodged the fatal blow with precision!

BOOM!

The massive energy of the punch slammed into the ground, instantly blasting a crater several meters wide into the hard earth as debris and soil erupted into the sky!

Seeing his strike miss, a flicker of surprise crossed the cosmic warrior's eyes.

"Hm? Fast reflexes? No wonder you managed to escape Planet Vegeta."

Surprise was one thing, but his underlying contempt remained undiminished.

He could dodge the first strike, but not the second!

The next second, his chain of attacks erupted; fists, kicks, and energy blasts bombarded the area in turn, a dense barrage of attacks sealing off all of Lin Chen's room to maneuver!

Purple energy ravaged the entire clearing, leaving the earth riddled with holes.

Lin Chen dodged at his limit the entire time, his figure flickering and shifting like a lonely shadow in the wind, weaving through the dense barrage of lethal strikes.

Every dodge was by a hair's breadth, every escape a brush with death.

His physical body endured the pressure of the wind, his old wounds throbbed with dull pain, and his weakened frame was nearing its absolute limit.

Yet, he still did not counterattack.

He was waiting.

Waiting for his opponent to grow arrogant, waiting for him to exhaust his strength, waiting for him to reveal his greatest opening!

"Is that all you can do, just run? You lowly rat!"

The cosmic warrior grew increasingly agitated as the fight dragged on, his attacks becoming more violent as his initial disdain turned into pure annoyance.

As an elite of the Frieza Force with a combat power of four thousand, he couldn't take down a remnant with a power of one thousand!

It was a total loss of face!

"It's over!"

He roared, gathering all his energy into his palm to condense a giant purple energy sphere several meters in diameter. His aura surged, locking onto Lin Chen, and he unleashed it!

A wide-range finishing move!

There was nowhere to hide!

A death sentence!

Now!

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes; the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

The opponent's relentless barrage had drained his stamina and frayed his nerves; this finishing blow, while seemingly ferocious, was actually hollow and left his defenses completely exposed!

"System! Overdraw my potential to the limit, explosive burst, now!"

[Ding! Excellent counterattack opportunity detected! Limit Overdraw triggered!]

[Temporary combat power surged to 2,000 points! Duration: fifteen seconds!]

A surge of immense power instantly detonated throughout his limbs and bones!

Lin Chen stopped dodging. A white aura erupted from his body, and he shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, charging straight into the fray!

Maximum speed!

He instantly broke through the wind pressure of the energy projectiles, grazing the edge of the purple light blast as he flashed past!

Under the Frieza Force Elite Scout's stunned gaze, Lin Chen closed the distance. Concentrating all his energy into his right hand, he delivered a precise punch to the vital energy center on his opponent's chest!

Kamehameha: Concentrated Point!

There were no flashy effects; all the power was compressed to the extreme and detonated in an instant!

Boom!

A dull, heavy thud of flesh impacting flesh echoed across the wilderness!

"Impossible! How could your combat power skyrocket like that!"

The Frieza Force Elite Scout's pupils contracted in disbelief. As agonizing pain radiated from his chest, his internal energy shattered instantly, and his bones snapped!

The 4,200-power aura shield had been completely pierced by a desperate strike from a 1,000-power fighter!

His massive body curled into a shrimp, he spat out purple blood, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily beside the wreckage of the spaceship, completely stripped of the ability to resist.

The moment Lin Chen landed, his legs went slightly weak. His strength was completely drained, and the agony of the overdraw swept through his entire body.

The fifteen-second burst ended, and the backlash of weakness doubled!

Yet, he gritted his teeth and stood firm, not retreating a single step.

He had won!

With a base combat power of 1,000, he had killed a 4,200-power elite of the universe!

A four-fold leap in a kill!

[Ding! Successfully killed Frieza Force Elite Scout!]

[Absorbing all combat essence, cosmic combat experience, and energy foundation!]

[Weakness seal significantly loosened! Base combat power permanently +1,800!]

[Current base combat power: 2,840!]

[Residual Cosmic Communication Chip detected, parsing signal...]

[Parsing successful! Encrypted legion dialogue captured!]

A massive wave of warmth washed over his body, rapidly repairing his damaged flesh. The state of weakness was largely dispelled, and his combat power more than doubled in an instant!

At this moment, Lin Chen's combat power officially surpassed the early-stage Nappa and approached the baseline of Vegeta when he first arrived on Earth!

But the next second, the encrypted dialogue parsed by the system made Lin Chen's expression turn grave.

[Legion command captured: Scout team lost contact. Confirming high-risk resistance on target planet!]

[Second Echelon Elite Squad of five, average combat power 5,000, has departed!]

[Frieza Personal Guard Captain accompanying! Combat power 8,000!]

[Estimated arrival on Earth: thirty minutes!]

It was not the end.

It was merely the beginning.

The scout who had just died was nothing more than a pawn sent to pave the way.

The true death trap had only just arrived!

In thirty minutes, five cosmic warriors with 5,000 combat power and one Personal Guard Captain with 8,000 combat power would descend upon them!

Lin Chen, having just broken through to 2,800 combat power, was instantly plunged into a genuine dead end!
