Boom!
With a massive explosion, the meteorite was destroyed. Li Ming had no idea how much battle power he possessed now; he only knew that after using that move, he had consumed nearly more than half of his own ki!
Just one strike had consumed so much. Destroying a planet would naturally be effortless, and even Namek would not have been able to withstand that attack!
If not for the terrifying impact from its rapid descent, the meteorite would probably have already been reduced to ash.
Whoosh! Bang!
Fragments of shattered meteorites rained down from the sky. Li Ming discovered that Slug's ki had not weakened much, and his brows furrowed.
According to his calculations, that move had been equivalent to his full-power strike. At the very least, it should have injured Slug.
But now, it seemed that he had merely caught Slug off guard. He had not truly dealt him any serious damage at all!
"Crack."
He directly crushed the Senzu Bean in his mouth. At the same time, the ground beneath his feet suddenly split open, and a pair of arms reached out. One of Slug's underlings stood a hundred meters away, his arms grabbing Li Ming's feet directly from underground.
A ki blast gathered in his mouth, ready to fire. This was one of the Namekians' distinctive traits—they could fire ki blasts from their eyes and mouths.
Whoosh!
A beam of light pierced through his head at an even faster speed. How could Li Ming possibly give him the chance? If these small fry drained him any further now, dealing with Slug later would become truly troublesome.
"Die!"
A fat yellow alien with a pair of wings suddenly appeared behind Li Ming. A ki blast condensed in his palm as he fired it straight down.
Li Ming slightly shifted his body and narrowly dodged it. Then he extended one hand, as though he had anticipated the other's movement in advance—his palm was already aimed directly at the alien's head!
Boom!
In the next instant, a violent shockwave blasted his upper body into ashes!
Smack!
As half of the body fell to the ground, Li Ming sensed several ki signatures in the distance beginning to flee. Conservatively estimated, each had battle power exceeding ten thousand. The moment he saw them, he had already guessed that the one who had followed him all the way to Namek was Slug.
The Demon Clan did exist in the universe, and they were not particularly weak. But if they were connected to Namekians, then they were Demon Clan members hatched from the eggs they spat out.
Most possessed features halfway between dragons and humans, with green skin as well.
Whoosh!
One green Demon Clan member had bulging eyes and looked like a human infected by some kind of frog virus, his entire body covered in bumps.
After seeing two companions instantly killed by Li Ming, he chose to flee almost without hesitation.
"Lord Slug, save me!"
Suddenly, a beam shot over from afar. Before he could evade, it pierced straight through his head, sending him tumbling across the ground for dozens of meters.
He did not stop until he reached the feet of a figure. Slug raised his head with a gloomy expression and looked into the distance. Their gazes met across the void, both brimming with killing intent!
From that first glance alone, they could both tell that the other intended to kill them!
Li Ming would never show mercy to anything that might threaten him, while Slug needed no explanation. The reason he had rampaged through the universe for so many years and bred so many Demon Clan members was his strength and brutality!
In terms of cruelty, he was no less savage than Frieza; he was merely somewhat inferior in strength.
"Gulp..."
Li Ming swallowed the Senzu Bean in his mouth. His depleted ki instantly returned to its peak state. Facing Slug, he did not dare let his guard down at all!
Although Slug looked extremely old, the wrinkles on his skin and his yellowed teeth showing his age, the ki within his body remained terrifying.
"So you're a Saiyan. It seems you're the one Frieza is hunting—the legendary Super Saiyan? Heh heh."
As Slug spoke, he flew directly toward Li Ming. His ki continued to rise along the way, making the ground tremble as pebbles and dust began to float into the air!
"Whew..."
Li Ming exhaled deeply. Then his gaze became exceptionally dangerous as the ki throughout his body began to surge violently!
Berserk Mode activated!
Li Ming could feel Slug's power. Without the slightest hesitation, he directly activated tenfold Berserk Mode! Electric currents crackled around him, and even the ki within his body filled with a savage aura.
"Oh? What astonishing power. It seems you really aren't an ordinary Saiyan. In that case, let me—"
"You talk too much!"
Bang!
The moment his words fell, Li Ming stamped his foot. His figure vanished into an afterimage, while the earth instantly split apart!
Li Ming had no intention of talking excessively with Slug. Berserk Mode's side effects were almost comparable to transforming into a Great Ape. If he could not defeat Slug quickly, then even with Senzu Beans, he would still be dragged into a difficult battle!
He had to deplete Slug's ki as much as possible. Only then would he have a chance of winning.
Boom-crack!
The instant their fists collided, the impact actually erupted with a thunderous explosion!
When that strike failed, Li Ming could only launch a frenzied assault—relentless, violent attacks. Relying on his current state, he suppressed Slug.
Slug, on the other hand, appeared to be suppressed, yet there was not the slightest trace of panic on his face. He seemed completely at ease.
"That's some impressive power, but it's still not enough."
Bang!
Suddenly, Slug grabbed one of Li Ming's fists. Two red beams burst from his eyes in an instant, and Li Ming raised his other hand, immediately firing a ki blast to counter them.
The white wave of ki carried streaks of brilliant electricity. This was one of Li Ming's advantages in his berserk state: the ki within his body was constantly in turmoil, making his bursts of power exceptionally fierce!
Aside from a major move like Frenzied Thunder Flash, even slightly stronger ki blasts could be launched almost instantly!
Sizzle!
The penetrating power of the two red beams far exceeded Li Ming's expectations. The two separated the moment they clashed, but Li Ming still paid a price.
The stabbing pain in his chest made him frown. He had still been injured. Even with his power increased tenfold, he was still being suppressed by Slug. Slug's battle power had exceeded his expectations.
Crackle... crackle!
"What kind of power is this?" Large amounts of electricity coiled around Slug's body. This was a side effect of Li Ming's berserk state. It could cause a certain degree of paralysis and also make his attacks more destructive!
Seeing that Li Ming had no intention of answering, Slug did not pursue the matter. His ki surged, directly shaking the electricity away.
"I admit that you're strong, but it's useless. How long can your current state last? Let me tell you, my battle power is forty million. If this body hadn't aged so much already, crushing you would take no effort at all!"
Forty million battle power—and this was not even his peak state. Li Ming finally understood where the gap lay. After consuming the Fruit of the Tree of Might and training in the gravity chamber for two months, his actual battle power had reached six hundred thousand.
Then, after the Grand Elder unlocked his potential, it had conservatively exceeded one million. He did not know the exact figure, but even a tenfold berserk boost had left him suppressed so badly. The gap was clearly still enormous.
"Tenfold isn't enough?" Realizing the difference, a trace of madness flashed across Li Ming's face as he shouted, "Then twentyfold!"
Roar!
Further stimulating the berserk factors within his body, Li Ming knew very well that he did not yet meet the requirements to transform into a Super Saiyan. Nor did he possess the emotions or S Cells needed for the transformation.
But he had no desire to gamble on luck now. He would rather trust in the power he had gained through his own methods!
A pillar of light shot into the sky! Li Ming's body swelled another size, while the pupils in his eyes flickered in and out of view. This was the drawback of berserking: beyond the tremendous burden on the body, the more important danger was that his wild instincts would try to overcome his reason!
"Damn it! Calm down!"
The wildly surging ki was forcibly suppressed. Taking advantage of the moment, Li Ming placed a Senzu Bean in his mouth, still without chewing it.
Boom!
The air exploded as Li Ming's figure, carrying violent energy, charged straight at Slug. This time, Slug was clearly no longer as composed as before.
The instant he came into contact with Li Ming, Slug was shocked. Li Ming's strength and speed had increased by at least another fold! More importantly, there was that ki filled with destructive power!
His expression gradually darkened. Things were slowly slipping out of his control.
As a nearly perfect Namekian, Slug would not simply wait for death. He carefully observed Li Ming's condition and noticed the state of his pupils. So he's gone berserk. It looks like I can only get away first. This body won't last much longer.
Using Li Ming's attack to his advantage, Slug flew away with the momentum. He vanished at the edge of sight almost in the blink of an eye.
He actually ran away!?
Li Ming stood there in a daze. He knew his own situation best. The only reason he could suppress Slug was his current state and the fact that Slug's body was no longer at its peak. Once this period passed, he could only eat the Senzu Bean and see whether he could raise his battle power.
Then Li Ming suddenly realized something. Thinking of the direction Slug had fled in, his pupils contracted.
"Oh no, the Dragon Balls!"
The Grand Elder had previously sent Nail to gather the Dragon Balls. As a Namekian, Slug knew very well what the Dragon Balls could do—and he also knew the Namekian language!
Boom!
His berserk ki surged to its peak once more, and Li Ming immediately gave chase. All he could do now was pray that Slug had not discovered the Grand Elder. After all, Slug could not sense ki, nor did he know that Nail had already collected the Dragon Balls.
