After extreme grief came boundless fury.

Among the Z Fighters present, aside from Gohan and Lin Yiqi, not a single one felt fear.

Tien Shinhan slowly raised his hand, forming a seal with one hand and aiming it at Nappa. Lightning immediately crackled around his arm as a terrifying aura rapidly gathered.

"I absolutely! Absolutely will not forgive you! I'll use all my energy for this attack and avenge Chiaotzu!!" Tien Shinhan said through gritted teeth.

"Final... Tri-Beam!!!"

A powerful energy wave shot straight at Nappa. By the time Nappa reacted, it was already too late to dodge, and he was instantly swallowed by the overwhelming energy.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion rang out. Piccolo and the others all looked up at the sky. When the light faded, Nappa was floating in the air completely unharmed. Only a few cracks had appeared on his battle armor, and black smoke continued to rise from his body.

Seeing that even his strongest attack had been ineffective, Tien Shinhan collapsed with a bitter smile. He did not have even a shred of strength left.

Yamcha had awakened by then. He hurried over to Tien Shinhan's side and checked his injuries. Lin Yiqi also ran over and pulled a Senzu Bean from his pocket.

"Uncle Tien Shinhan, here, a Senzu Bean. Hurry and eat it."

Seeing that Lin Yiqi still had Senzu Beans, Yamcha immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After Tien Shinhan ate one, his injuries instantly healed, and even his severed arm grew back.

Vegeta and Nappa both saw this, their faces filled with confusion.

"This Earth really has no shortage of secrets. First there are the Dragon Balls, and now beans that can instantly restore someone's condition. Looks like I can't drag this out any longer. If this goes on, that trash Nappa might actually lose. Am I supposed to step in myself then?" Vegeta's expression gradually turned cold as he gave Nappa an order.

"Nappa, end this quickly. Kill everyone except the Namekian."

Nappa was already seething with rage. Hearing Vegeta's command was exactly what he wanted!

"Understood, Vegeta. I'll kill them all right now."

Tien Shinhan and Yamcha exchanged a glance, then looked up at Nappa in the sky and resumed their fighting stances.

The battle began again.

"Piccolo, Nam, I have one more move that can deal with him. But I need you to help distract him. As long as it lands, he'll definitely die," Krillin whispered to the two of them.

After saying that, the three exchanged looks and nodded.

Piccolo and Nam charged directly at Nappa.

Piccolo shouted, "Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, let's attack together!"

Seeing them all rush at him, Nappa burst out laughing. "Hahaha, perfect! Saves me the trouble of killing you one by one!"

The four of them soon became locked in battle with Nappa.

Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Piccolo, and Nam positioned themselves around Nappa from four different directions, launching attack after attack.

Although Nappa's power level far surpassed theirs, even two fists could not fend off four hands.

Nappa seized an opening and punched Tien Shinhan away, but Yamcha and Piccolo each landed a punch on him in return. Enduring the pain, he kicked Piccolo away, only for Nam to whip a roundhouse kick across his face.

Meanwhile, Krillin stood on the ground with one hand raised above his head. A disc-shaped energy blade spun in his palm as he constantly observed the battle above, searching for the best opportunity.

When he saw that the time was right, Krillin suddenly leaned back and hurled the energy blade with all his strength.

"Destructo Disc!! Get out of the way!!"

At Krillin's shout, Piccolo and the others scattered in all directions as though they had communicated beforehand, leaving behind a bewildered Nappa.

"Nappa, dodge it, you idiot!!!"

Vegeta sensed the terrifying power of the attack and shouted furiously at Nappa.

Realizing something was wrong, Nappa turned around, but the Destructo Disc had already reached him. He only had time to shift slightly to the side before it sliced across his arm.

"Slice!"

"AAAAAAARGH!!"

One of Nappa's arms was forcibly severed!

"My arm!!!" Nappa clutched his bleeding stump in agony. As a Saiyan, he had never experienced such pain before, and his face twisted hideously.

What a piece of trash! Watching his companion get injured, Vegeta felt not a shred of sympathy. Instead, killing intent rose within him.

"Looks like this Nappa is useless too. He can't even deal with this kind of small fry and still needs me to step in myself!"

Vegeta muttered curses under his breath, a cold smile hanging on his face.

"Nappa! Come back! If you keep fighting, you'll die!"

Although unwilling, the immense pain made Nappa hesitate. It seemed his revenge for his severed arm would have to be left to Vegeta.

Remembering that Lord Vegeta was still here, Nappa wore a sneer once more. He silently walked over to Vegeta's side and said to the others, "Once Lord Vegeta takes action, you're all dead! His power level is several times mine! Hahaha!"

"That's right. I will take action, Nappa," Vegeta's icy voice sounded.

Nappa did not notice anything wrong at all. He was already imagining the expressions on these Earthlings' faces as they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Just then, Vegeta placed a hand on Nappa's shoulder and suddenly exerted force, flinging Nappa high into the sky.

Nappa did not understand what Vegeta meant by this and asked with a face full of confusion, "Ve... Vegeta... what are you..."

"Hmph. Die. You're nothing but useless trash now!" Vegeta snorted coldly and raised his hand, firing an energy blast at the stunned Nappa in midair.

"Bang!"

Nappa's body exploded in midair. He was dead beyond doubt! Even until his death, he hadn't understood that when Vegeta said he would make a move, he meant against him.

"Such... such cold-blooded Saiyans... They killed their own companion without hesitation." Krillin stared in shock, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing.

Piccolo was equally shocked, but for a different reason. The Saiyan that the five of them had only managed to fight to a draw had been instantly killed with a single blow? Just how strong was this short Saiyan?

There was no chance of winning! That was Piccolo's first thought.

Against Nappa, they might still have had a chance if they risked their lives. But against this Saiyan called Vegeta, they absolutely could not win!

Piccolo immediately shouted at Krillin, "Krillin, Nam, take Gohan and Lin Yiqi and get out of here! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"

Before he had even finished speaking, a blast of light pierced straight through Piccolo's body.

"Hmph, I've changed my mind. I'll kill all of you, then go to Namek and find better Dragon Balls!"

Piccolo clutched his chest and slowly collapsed.

At that moment, Kami seemed to sense something as well. His body flickered between solid and transparent—an omen that his lifespan was about to reach its end.

"Popo, my life may be coming to an end. Piccolo... is dead!"

Tears welled up in Mr. Popo's eyes, but he had no way to stop Kami from fading away. He could only watch helplessly as Kami's figure grew more and more faint.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared on Kami's Lookout. They were Goku and Lin Yuan, who had returned from King Yemma's place.

The moment Lin Yuan arrived at the Lookout, he saw Kami's translucent figure.

He inwardly cried, "Damn!"
