A white whirlwind shot toward Turles, but he dodged it with ease.

"Damn it! What did you do to Piccolo and Gohan?!"

The newcomer was none other than Sun Wukong. At that moment, he was glaring furiously at the man before him.

"Heh heh heh. Kakarot, you traitor, you finally showed yourself."

Turles sneered.

"I'm not Kakarot. I'm Sun Wukong!"

Wukong shouted. Then he looked at the man before him, whose appearance was almost identical to his own, and was shocked.

"Who exactly are you? Why do you look so much like me?"

"I am Turles. My father and your father, Bardock, were brothers."

In the original Dragon Ball setting, low-class warriors all looked similar, but this universe was different.

No matter what, Sun Wukong still refused to acknowledge these evil Saiyans as his relatives.

Li Feng complained: Wukong killed off all his Saiyan relatives, and didn't even spare his future self. (Dragon Ball Super's Goku Black)

Gohan: Dad, that's why I made sure you were gone first during the Cell period.

If Raditz could speak: Kakarot, you're awesome. If our father were still alive, maybe you'd kill him too.

Poor Wukong. Aside from his sons, the only relatives he had left now were evil villains.

Back to the point.

Wukong did not react much to Turles's identity. He was only furious that his friends and child had been hurt.

"You actually dared to destroy Earth like this and hurt the innocent. I will never let you off!"

Wukong said angrily.

"Kakarot, join my legion, and I can spare your life and your son's!"

Turles still wanted to recruit Wukong.

"Kaioken!"

Wukong wasted no words and immediately used Kaioken.

Dark-red aura erupted from him, and along with it, a majestic presence soared into the sky!

"What?!"

Turles's Scouter showed Wukong's reading constantly rising!

He could not understand it. Why had Kakarot's battle power been lower than his at first, yet now completely surpassed him?

"Ha!"

But before Turles could react, the dark-red figure instantly appeared in front of him.

Bang!

A fist the size of a clay pot smashed hard into Turles's nose, sending blood flying.

Turles's figure shot backward like a cannonball, smashing straight through several enormous Tree of Might branches.

"Bastard!"

Turles cursed, clutching his nose.

"Hah!"

Wukong was still extremely furious. Dark-red aura surged out as he charged at Turles again.

Turles hurriedly crossed both arms to block, but Wukong's heavy punch made his arms go numb with pain. In the end, Wukong used the high-speed movement of Kaioken to circle behind him, then kicked.

The battle armor on Turles's back shattered. His back felt as though it had been struck hard by a sledgehammer, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Cough! Ah!"

Turles had long since lost his initial composure and calm. In a sorry state, he fled deeper into the tree trunk.

"Whoosh!—"

Wukong still rode the dark-red flames, chasing after him madly.

"Hmph, Kakarot, don't get cocky. Once I eat the fruit of the Tree of Might, your death will be here!"

Turles said viciously.

Outside, the Tree of Might was still growing wildly. All kinds of branches and vines surged out from every corner of the world. Grasslands and forests turned into deserts, cities became ruins, and Earth's environment was rapidly deteriorating.

And the result in exchange was that the fruits on the Tree of Might were beginning to ripen!

Just as Wukong was about to catch up to Turles again, Turles happened to see a ripe fruit of the Tree of Might up ahead.

Crack!

Turles snatched the fruit off and bit straight into it.

Boom!

His original injuries vanished completely, and his muscles swelled even larger.

At once, a powerful aura erupted from Turles!

"Heh heh! This is the end!"

Turles felt the endless power surging through his body, let out a loud laugh, and crushed the Tree of Might Fruit in his hand.

At this moment, his battle power had already far surpassed Wukong's, soaring all the way to 325,000!

Bang!

Wukong's fist, wreathed in dark red flames, blasted toward Turles's head again, only for Turles to catch it tightly in his right hand this time.

"What?!"

This time, it was Wukong's turn to be shocked. He had never imagined Turles's aura would become this powerful!

"Hmph. I'll pay you back tenfold for what you just did to me!"

Turles smiled viciously, then drove a knee into Wukong's abdomen with lightning speed.

With a tremendous bang, Wukong's body bowed like a shrimp, and he spat up bitter bile in agony.

Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da!—

Turles's hands turned into machine guns, striking Wukong in a frenzy.

Because of the explosive rise in his ki, Turles's strength, speed, and physical toughness had all greatly increased. Wukong was completely suppressed.

"Tenfold Kaioken!"

Whoosh!

Even denser dark red flames erupted from Wukong's body, and his battle power instantly rose by a large margin.

Bang!

Unfortunately, even with Wukong fighting with everything he had, Turles still held a slight advantage. Turles continued suppressing Wukong and knocked him flat with one punch.

"Die!"

Turles grinned savagely, then gathered a purple energy cannon in one hand and unleashed his rage onto Wukong.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—

The purple cannon fire ravaged Wukong's body without mercy, tearing his flesh open.

"Ah!—"

Wukong's scream tore through the sky.

The enormous branches of the Tree of Might were blasted apart by Turles's energy cannon, and Wukong was sent flying mercilessly.

"Hmph, Kakarot, this is what happens to a traitor!"

Turles laughed loudly, then swung another fatal energy wave toward the fallen Wukong.

If Wukong were hit by this attack now, he would definitely lose his life!

But at that moment, a sudden white energy sphere just happened to knock Turles's attack away.

"Hm? Who is it this time?"

Turles turned his head and saw that almost all the Z Fighters had arrived.

Piccolo and Gohan, whom he had thought he had already dealt with, had miraculously revived, and Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and the others were all at full strength, glaring furiously at Turles.

But Turles's gaze remained fixed on the handsome young man at the very front.

Li Feng had still made it in the nick of time.

Turles's lackeys had all been wiped out by Li Feng as if he were sweeping away trash.

Li Feng and Krillin had even acted as deliverymen, finding the injured or dying and giving them Senzu Beans to recover.

It had to be said, the protagonist group's lives were tough. They only took their lunchboxes when the original plot killed them off; at all other times, they were as tenacious as cockroaches.

Krillin: Do you have any manners?

"You guys take Wukong, have him eat a Senzu Bean, and leave first. It's very dangerous here."

Li Feng said to Krillin and the others.

"Then we're counting on you!"

"Please make sure you take down that damn bastard!"

"..."

Although everyone was unwilling, they knew they still did not have the power to fight Turles, so they left the battlefield to Li Feng.
