"No!"

Wukong cried out in agony.

Just as Raditz was about to strike Gohan

Whoosh!

A rush of wind rang out, and a black shadow appeared in an instant.

Raditz said in shock, "Impossible!"

Gohan had actually vanished from right in front of him!

"Good thing I wasn't too late."

Li Feng let out a long breath.

After all, his mission was to kill Raditz, but Gohan could not be allowed to die here.

It was just that his own combat power was only 1005, still not enough to match Raditz, so he had no choice but to use Gohan's furious blow to weaken Raditz's combat power.

Just like in the original, after Gohan's power erupted, he slammed into Raditz and gravely injured him.

"You... who are you?"

Piccolo asked, cold sweat running down his face.

They had been fighting the entire time, yet someone had actually entered the battlefield without a sound and directly rescued Gohan!

"My name is Li Feng. I'm here to help you," Li Feng said, briefly introducing himself.

"Hello, Mr. Li Feng. Thank you for saving us. Hurry and take Gohan away. That man is dangerous!"

Wukong struggled to his feet. After thanking Li Feng for saving Gohan, he urged Li Feng to take Gohan and leave.

"Yes, he was dangerous up until just now. But now, that's not necessarily the case."

Li Feng did not say much more. He stamped his right foot down, and the ground instantly caved in, kicking up a wave of air. Then he charged toward Raditz at nearly sonic-boom speed.

"So fast! This person's power is so strong!" Piccolo said in surprise.

"Yeah! I can't believe there's someone this strong besides Raditz!" Wukong said, both nervous and excited.

"Bas... bastard!"

Raditz flew into a rage from shame and anger. Seeing Li Feng act so arrogantly, killing intent rose in him.

Bang!

However, the serious injury he had just suffered from Gohan's collision had dropped his combat power to half of its original level. He could not dodge Li Feng's charge at all.

Li Feng kicked him nearly a hundred meters away, and his chest armor was completely shattered by that violent kick.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

"Combat power: 1005!"

At that moment, Raditz's scouter displayed Li Feng's combat power!

"Who are you?" Raditz was both shocked and furious. He had never expected someone with a combat power over one thousand to suddenly appear here!

"The one who's going to kill you!" Li Feng said coldly.

Immediately, Li Feng accelerated again and charged toward Raditz.

"Die!" Raditz gritted his teeth, endured the pain of his wound, gathered purple energy spheres in both hands, and fired them at Li Feng!

Whoosh—

Boom!

The two masses of energy smashed hard into Li Feng, stirring up a cloud of thick smoke.

"Hahahaha! Where did this brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth come from!"

Seeing that Li Feng had been hit, Raditz laughed arrogantly.

"What? Li Feng actually got hit?"

Wukong was startled and dragged his heavily injured body toward the direction of the explosion.

"Wait. It's not that simple."

Piccolo's eyes were also fixed on the thick smoke. He somehow felt that Li Feng would not be defeated that easily.

"Hiss! It still hurts a little!"

As the thick smoke dispersed, a strong figure appeared from within it.

Li Feng was blocking with both arms. The energy-wave attack just now had only scraped his arms a little.

Li Feng had deliberately taken one of Raditz's attacks, wanting to test his body's defense.

He had bet right. Raditz, whose combat power was less than 800, could not hurt him even with his ultimate attack!

"Whew—" Li Feng let out a long breath.

"H-How is that possible!"

Cold sweat poured from Raditz. His strongest attack actually hadn't been able to take Li Feng down!

"Die!—"

Raditz panicked now. His hands no longer gathered large energy waves; instead, like a machine gun, he desperately fired ordinary flash blasts at Li Feng, smashing them toward him.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Li Feng knew that the current Raditz was the best touchstone for him to get familiar with his own combat power.

He had to make his body adapt to battle as soon as possible!

Facing the ki blasts before him, Li Feng did not panic at all. The sharp increase in his combat power earlier had greatly improved his dynamic vision as well.

Those high-speed ki blasts seemed to slow down several times over in Li Feng's eyes, allowing him to see their trajectories with ease.

So he dodged them with the nimblest footwork.

"So... so powerful!" Piccolo said, swallowing as he watched the figure slowly advancing through the thick smoke.

"Li Feng really is strong! I have to get even stronger too!"

Seeing that Li Feng was fine, Wukong relaxed, and at the same time, the Saiyan love of battle within him was stirred up.

On Raditz's side, he unleashed Prince Trick, only to discover that the figure dozens of meters away had not fallen. Instead, he was getting closer and closer. The threat of death made Raditz tremble nonstop.

"No! Impossible! How could something like this happen!" Raditz was already terrified of Li Feng now.

As the energy kept pouring out, Li Feng not only dodged, but also felt his body gradually growing familiar with this speed.

Occasionally, he deliberately let himself be hit by a ki blast, also to make his body's ability to withstand blows even stronger.

Ahem, Li Feng was not a masochist, but before he was familiar with his immense combat power, he really did need more tempering.

Raditz was an excellent touchstone.

If he knew what Li Feng was thinking, he would definitely cough up a mouthful of old blood.

I'm fighting with my life on the line just to give you experience?

Li Feng: Yes. Thank you for the EXP pack.

Raditz: ******

"Hah!"

While dodging Raditz's ki blasts, Li Feng's figure also kept closing in on Raditz.

Once he got in close, he punched Raditz square in the face!

"Pfft!" In an instant, several of Raditz's teeth were knocked flying, and his body toppled backward as if struck by a cannonball.

The massive impact smashed the mountain peak apart.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Raditz was heavily injured now, and what filled his heart even more was fear of this mysterious and powerful man before him. "That should be about enough. Time to finish you."

Li Feng could also sense that Raditz's aura had weakened a great deal.

"No! No! You can't kill me!"

Raditz hurriedly begged for mercy.

"You're so powerful, you can definitely join our squad! My two teammates are also extremely strong, and they'll come to Earth in one year too!"

"Don't believe him, Li Feng!"

Piccolo was worried that Li Feng would show mercy like Wukong had just done, and let the tiger return to the mountain again out of softheartedness.

Li Feng recalled the Kamehameha Wukong and the others had used when he watched Dragon Ball before, and he also wanted to try whether he could use it himself.

So he mobilized all the ki in his body and drew both hands back to gather it. Before long, he felt ki surging out from his hands, gradually condensing into a blue ball of light.

"Ka!"

At this moment, the light ball gradually grew larger, blue light spilling through his fingers and illuminating the surroundings for a time.

"That's the Kamehameha?!"

Seeing Li Feng's familiar stance, Wukong said in surprise.

"Me!"

Li Feng mobilized the ki throughout his entire body, gathering even more ki in his hands and constantly compressing it.

"Indeed. Sun, is he also a disciple of the Turtle Hermit School?"

Piccolo asked in confusion.

"Ha!"

The ki in Li Feng's hands grew stronger and stronger!

"Me!"

This was the energy! Li Feng thrust both hands out!

"No! Vegeta and Nappa, my other two companions, won't let you get away with this!" Raditz shouted in despair.

"Boom!—"

A thick beam of azure light shot out!

The energy shock wave instantly punched through all kinds of rock and struck Raditz head-on, melting his body in an instant! And the aftershock did not weaken, its power shooting straight into the clouds!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission: Defeat Raditz."

"Mission reward: Saiyan bloodline!"
