While Li Feng and the others were training on Planet Yardrat...
A giant spaceship sped through the pitch-black universe.
And at the center of the spaceship sat two people.
The man in the very middle was over three meters tall, towering and burly. His purple skin was harder than steel, sharp bull-like horns grew from his head, and white bone armor covered his arms and calves. He radiated an icy aura; his whole being was like a demon from hell, and he looked extremely similar to Frieza's second form.
This man was Frieza's father, King Cold.
"How much longer until we reach Earth?"
King Cold swirled the wineglass in his right hand and asked elegantly.
"Reporting to Great King Cold, we'll arrive in less than an hour."
A red-skinned man in battle armor answered.
"Those damned Saiyans. I will wipe them out with my own hands."
At that moment, the other seated figure spoke.
His arms were crossed, his blood-red eyes flashing with danger. Beneath both eyes were two lines like tears of blood. His skin was also purple, and white bone armor covered his body. He looked extremely similar to Frieza's final form, but he was even stronger and taller than Frieza.
This man was none other than Frieza's elder brother, Cooler.
A year ago, when he learned that Frieza had gone off to conquer other planets, he had secretly rejoiced. He and Frieza were rivals, after all.
But half a year passed, and there was still no news of Frieza.
Although he usually competed with Frieza for territory in the shadows, that was still a matter within the Frost Demon clan. When his subordinates gathered information and discovered that Frieza had been killed by a Saiyan, he flew into a rage.
Frieza could only be killed by his own hand!
Yet now he had been killed by the Saiyans, a race their clan had always oppressed!
At first, Cooler had wanted to find the killer and take revenge alone, but afterward, King Cold also learned of the news and was equally furious. The two immediately joined forces and set out to search for information.
After all kinds of investigation, the final information they obtained was that the Saiyan who had killed Frieza lived on a planet called Earth.
"To think someone actually killed Frieza. This is nothing less than a provocation against our Frost Demon clan!"
King Cold said viciously.
"Saiyans, this time, you will be completely exterminated."
Bang!
The wineglass in his hand was crushed with ease, and the terrifying aura he released made his subordinates tremble in fear.
Earth, Mount Paozu.
A young boy lay on the ground, his hands pillowed behind his head.
"Sigh, when is Dad going to come back?"
Gohan murmured.
Because he had gone to Namek before, Chi-Chi had been very angry. For the first half of the year, she grounded Gohan, but later, Gohan still secretly went to train with Piccolo, passing his boring days that way.
He envied how powerful Li Feng had been when he transformed into a Super Saiyan back then. Under that longing, the seed of becoming stronger took root and sprouted. After his potential had been initially unlocked, he dug deeper into it. Through constant battles and his determination to grow stronger, Gohan's combat strength soared from the 110,000 he had reached after his potential was unlocked on Namek to 1,000,000 now! He was far stronger than his original self at the same period.
Hm?
Suddenly, Gohan's expression tightened.
He sensed two extremely powerful ki rapidly approaching Earth.
After sensing them carefully, his expression became extremely tense, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Those two ki were very similar to Frieza's aura. One of them was slightly weaker than Frieza, while the other was far, far stronger than Frieza.
"How is that possible? Wasn't Frieza personally destroyed by Uncle Li Feng?"
"Could they be his relatives?"
"Not good!"
Gohan immediately stood up and began flying rapidly toward the spot where the spaceship would land.
As he flew, he sensed a familiar aura.
"Uncle Krillin!"
Gohan approached that aura.
The one flying toward that place was Krillin.
"Gohan, you sensed it too?"
"Yes, Uncle Krillin."
"Damn it, who do those two powerful auras belong to? Are they here to wreak havoc on Earth again?"
Krillin frowned.
"I think they must be Frieza's people."
Gohan stated his theory and explained what had happened on Namek.
Krillin broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it.
"If that's really the case, Earth is in danger. We'll stay hidden for now and tell the others. We have to find Li Feng and the others as quickly as possible."
"Okay."
That was the only option now. Li Feng's group was not on Earth. Although they had grown stronger, they were still nowhere near a match for Cooler and King Cold.
"Whoosh!—"
"Whoosh!—"
As they drew closer and closer to the place where the spaceship would land, more and more people arrived. Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Master Roshi, and the others had all come.
And when Bulma heard that an incredibly powerful presence had come to Earth, she thought Li Feng had returned and immediately flew over in a plane to join the excitement.
Everyone hid in the woods, sensing that terrifying presence coming closer and closer, as if they could hear the tolling of death's bell growing louder and louder.
"Li Feng, when are you finally coming back?"
Bulma's longing for Li Feng deepened, and she grew even more afraid that she might never see the person she loved again.
Although he had said he would return after a year of training, no one had expected the enemy to arrive so quickly. If he could not make it in time, then when they returned, they would only be able to collect their bodies.
"Rumble—"
A large spaceship pierced through the atmosphere and, after violently scraping against the air, descended to the ground.
"What a terrifying presence!"
"They're really strong!"
Only after Gohan and the others drew closer did they realize just how terrifying those two ki were.
"Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! ..."
Once the spaceship's hatch opened, over a hundred people stepped out in orderly ranks.
Their battle armor was exactly the same as that of Frieza's forces.
Finally, two people walked out.
"What!?"
Gohan was shocked.
He saw two people who looked extremely similar to Frieza!
One was a "Frieza" in his final form, and the other was a "Frieza" in his second form.
However, after observing carefully, he realized there were still differences between these two and Frieza's two forms: the second-form "Frieza" was over three meters tall, wore a red cape, and had bone armor; while the final-form "Frieza" was entirely purple, with blue armor on his joints.
Although they were not Frieza, they were of the same race as him.
"Oh? So this is the planet of those Saiyans who defeated Frieza? The scenery looks rather good. It can serve as another base for us."
King Cold spoke slowly.
"Beep!"
King Cold switched on his Scouter, only to find no readings at all.
"Hm? Why are the people on this planet so weak?"
"Where is that filthy monkey who killed the Saiyan?"
"Could we have been deceived?"
King Cold grew furious.
"Swish!"
"Boom!"
With his anger, an astonishing aura inadvertently erupted from him, instantly blasting a nearby mountain peak to pieces!
"What terrifying power!"
Gohan and the others were horrified by King Cold's strength. They knew they absolutely could not expose themselves now.
"Father, I heard those Earthlings can all hide their presence. It seems those people have gone into hiding."
Cooler stood off to the side with his arms folded, speaking coldly.
"Hmph. Those wild monkeys are actually afraid?"
King Cold calmed down and gave a cold snort.
"Don't worry, Father. I have a way to force them out."
Cooler laughed loudly.
"Cooler's Armored Squadron, all of you, hear my command!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ..."
At Cooler's order, three figures appeared before him. They were the members of Cooler's Armored Squadron: Salza, Dore, and Neiz.
Though there were only three of them, they were far stronger than Frieza's Ginyu Force.
"Each of you will lead a squad and begin slaughtering your way across this planet."
"I refuse to believe that once everyone on this planet is wiped out, those damned Saiyans still won't dare show themselves!"
"Yes, sir!"
The members of Cooler's Armored Squadron responded at once, each taking soldiers and flying off in different directions.
"Damn it, they're actually using such vicious methods!"
When Krillin heard that, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Damn it, I can't let innocent Earthlings be slaughtered!"
Gohan also clenched his fists, his aura nearly leaking out.
But the moment he acted on impulse, everyone here would be exposed.
"Calm down, Gohan!"
Krillin immediately held Gohan back.
"We have to endure it for now, until Wukong and Li Feng come back!"
Though he was furious too, they had no chance of winning right now.
"Hahahahaha!"
The members of Cooler's Armored Squadron let out sinister laughter.
In the past, countless planets' inhabitants had been toyed with and slaughtered by them just like this.
"Bang! Bang! Bang—"
The soldiers of the armored army swept their weapons everywhere, burning down the forest and destroying the terrain!
"Awooo!"
Many animals in the forest cried out in agony and fled in panic. Plenty of them were struck directly by the terrifying lasers, collapsing to the ground as blood flowed like a sea.
"Hahahahaha! Where are the people? Why is it all animals? Find them for me!"
Salza laughed cruelly.
"Whoosh!—"
A plane flew over their heads.
Salza raised his head, opened his scouter, and said disdainfully, "Hmph, trash with a power level under 5. All of you can die!"
"Whoosh!"
Salza gathered a purple energy wave in his right hand and flung it at the plane in the sky.
But the people on the plane knew nothing at all.
"Bastard!"
Krillin closed his eyes.
"Sorry. We'll use the Dragon Balls to revive you afterward."
Krillin gritted his teeth and said unwillingly.
"Stop!"
