The Z Fighters were still grieving over Yamcha's death.

Meanwhile, Nappa had already crawled over to Vegeta.

"Prince Vegeta, save me!"

Nappa pleaded bitterly, hoping only that Vegeta would save him.

Then hope flared within Nappa.

Because he saw Vegeta extend a hand.

As expected, Prince Vegeta won't abandon me! Nappa was deeply moved.

He and Vegeta had been comrades for many years, conquering countless planets together.

Surely Vegeta had chosen to help him out of consideration for their years of friendship.

"Thank you, Prince Vegeta!"

Nappa used all his strength to barely grasp Vegeta's hand.

"Oh?"

"I never said I was going to save you!"

At that moment, it was as if Nappa had been struck by lightning from a clear sky!

Prince Vegeta didn't intend to save me?

Nappa's heart sank to rock bottom.

"P-Prince Vegeta, I don't understand what you mean!" Nappa said tremblingly.

"Do you think you could have defeated that guy at your peak?"

Vegeta pointed at Wu Fei and spoke coldly.

"Of course I could. I only lost to him because I was careless."

"If you give me another chance, I'll definitely crush him beneath my feet!"

"No! You have no chance of defeating him!"

Vegeta did not believe Nappa's excuse in the slightest.

"Just give me one more chance, and I'll definitely defeat him!" Nappa was already starting to lose his mind.

Vegeta continued coldly, "That guy's battle power isn't just 3,200."

"When he fought you just now, he instantly unleashed battle power as high as 8,000."

"He has battle power of 8,000. That's why he was able to defeat you so easily!"

Even in his weakened state, Nappa desperately shook his head.

"No! Impossible!"

"You must have seen it wrong, Prince Vegeta!"

"Otherwise, the Scouter must be broken!"

Nappa refused to believe it.

"Even after being beaten into this state, you still don't understand? Idiot!"

"I don't need someone who's lost the ability to fight and can only hold me back!"

Vegeta swung his arm forcefully, hurling Nappa into the air.

"You can go die with that idiot Raditz!"

"Hahaha~"

Vegeta condensed an energy blast in his hand and hurled it directly at Nappa in midair.

"No! Prince Vegeta!"

Nappa could not believe that Prince Vegeta not only refused to save him, but even intended to kill him personally!

Prince Vegeta, whom he had always respected, would actually do this to him.

Had their years of comradeship meant nothing at all?

Nappa's eyes were filled with unwillingness.

"No~"

Boom!

Nappa's cry was swallowed by the explosion.

When the smoke cleared, Nappa had completely lost all signs of life. He was dead beyond doubt.

Krillin and the others were also utterly shocked by this scene.

Weren't they partners? Comrades?

How could he kill his own companion?

The Z Fighters, who had always valued bonds, could not understand Vegeta's actions at all.

Even Piccolo, who had always been called the "Demon King," was deeply shocked. He had never imagined that Saiyans could actually harm their own kind.

Most importantly, Vegeta had not attacked because Nappa had betrayed him. He had done it purely because Nappa was badly injured and could no longer continue fighting!

"Saiyans truly are a terrifying race!" Piccolo murmured.

Meanwhile, Wu Fei in the distance had been watching everything closely.

"As expected of cold-blooded Saiyans. You can kill your own companions without the slightest hesitation!" Wu Fei said slowly.

Vegeta did not care in the slightest about Wu Fei's words.

"Hmph!"

"He no longer had any value. So I killed him!"

"We Saiyans are not like you, placing such importance on feelings!"

"I hadn't intended to make a move, but it seems you are qualified to fight me!"

Vegeta was now brimming with fighting spirit.

"I'll fight you to the end!" Wu Fei showed no fear whatsoever.

"Although your combat power has reached 8,000, you are still no match for me."

"However, all of you have the ability to conceal your combat power. I hope you can give me a surprise!"

Vegeta was extremely confident now, as though victory was already his.

"A surprise? You'll get one!"

Wu Fei looked coldly at Vegeta.

"Then now, let me show you the strength of the Saiyan Prince!"

Vegeta launched the first attack.

He was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed in front of Wu Fei.

Bang!

Their fists collided directly.

They were actually evenly matched!

"Interesting!" Vegeta said.

Vegeta immediately threw out a kick, while Wu Fei responded with a sweeping kick of his own.

Bang!

The two collided once again.

Bang, bang, bang—

The two had already fallen into a fierce melee.

They were evenly matched, trading blows back and forth.

Their figures flickered continuously, and the dazzling battle left the spectators unable to keep up.

"So strong! I can't see their movements at all!" Krillin exclaimed.

"Yeah! Their strength far surpasses ours!"

Tien Shinhan strongly agreed with Krillin.

Even with three eyes, he found it difficult to clearly follow the course of Wu Fei and Vegeta's battle.

Piccolo's face was filled with shock, and a light sweat had formed on his forehead.

Only by maintaining absolute focus could he barely make out Wu Fei and Vegeta's movements.

This made him realize even more clearly just how vast the gap in strength was between himself and the two of them.

Before them, he had no ability to fight back at all!

Bang!

Wu Fei and Vegeta exchanged another fierce clash. After their fists collided, they each retreated.

Vegeta gave a wicked smile and shouted, "Hahaha—interesting!"

"It seems you're a little stronger than I expected!"

"The warm-up is over. Now I'll show you my true strength!"

"Ah!"

Vegeta then shouted as he continuously gathered power.

At the same time, his aura kept rising.

"Damn! So strong!"

"What terrifying energy!"

Krillin and the others were utterly shocked. They had never expected Vegeta to have held back just now.

Having finished charging up, Vegeta's aura grew even more imposing.

As the Prince of the Saiyans, he exuded overwhelming presence!

"Ha ha ha!"

"Now that I'm going all out, your death is near!" Vegeta declared confidently.

Wu Fei responded calmly, "Oh?"

"I should be the one saying that to you!"

"Enough nonsense! Ignorant fool!" Vegeta could not tolerate Wu Fei's disdain at all.

"Rat-a-tat-tat!"

Vegeta continuously formed Ki blasts and fired them out.

However, the Ki blasts did not explode immediately. Instead, they surrounded Wu Fei.

Before long, more than a hundred Ki blasts had appeared around Wu Fei!

"I'll show you the consequences of angering this prince!"

Vegeta shouted as he thrust both palms forward.

More than a hundred Ki blasts shot straight at Wu Fei.

"Boom boom boom—"

The explosions rang out without end.

Smoke instantly filled the area, and even the ground trembled slightly.

Krillin and the others were also affected by the shockwaves, each raising their defenses.

"What terrifying power!" Krillin exclaimed.

Even from so far away from Wu Fei, he was still hit by an immense impact.

If he had not defended himself in time, he would likely have been seriously injured!

Meanwhile, Wu Fei was taking Vegeta's attack head-on.

Wu Fei's situation was extremely dangerous now!
