Looking at the Special Beam Cannon before him, Raditz could not help but feel a chill run through his heart.

The energy contained within it terrified him!

Even with his extreme arrogance, he did not dare take this attack head-on.

But the Special Beam Cannon was incredibly fast, and Raditz no longer had time to dodge!

Faced with that terrifying energy, Raditz could only evade with all his strength.

He leaped into the air and darted to the right.

Sizzle!

The Special Beam Cannon pierced through the armor on Raditz's left shoulder and continued hurtling forward.

Boom!

An explosion rang out.

An enormous mountain range was instantly reduced to flat ground!

"Huff... huff..."

Piccolo panted heavily. To unleash that move, he had already exhausted all his strength.

His face was now filled with regret and helplessness.

"Damn it! I was just a little short!"

Yes, he had only been a little short of hitting Raditz!

Yet things had turned out like this. All his earlier efforts had gone to waste!

"Did it... not work?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Son Goku kept coughing, his eyes full of unwillingness and disappointment.

He desperately wanted to get back on his feet and keep fighting.

But he simply did not have the strength.

After taking Raditz's fatal blow, he had completely lost the ability to move.

With his limbs aching unbearably, even standing up was nothing but a distant hope!

"That was close!"

Raditz was still shaken with lingering fear.

He felt as though he had narrowly escaped death.

He wore the Saiyans' exclusive battle armor. It had extremely strong defenses and was exceptionally tough.

Even under a fierce impact, it would not be damaged in the slightest and would remain completely intact.

Yet the Special Beam Cannon had directly sliced off the armor covering his left shoulder!

And its remaining force had destroyed an entire mountain range.

It was easy to imagine just how terrifying the destructive power of Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon was!

Most importantly, through his Scouter, he had discovered that Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon had possessed an energy level as high as 1400—enough to threaten his life!

"I almost got done in by that green little bug!"

Raditz said hatefully.

He slowly walked toward Piccolo.

Creak!

"You don't have another chance!"

Raditz clenched his fists, his gaze brimming with killing intent!

Watching Raditz approach, Piccolo was also terrified.

He was no match for Raditz at all!

As for the Special Beam Cannon, he could still use it once more.

The Special Beam Cannon possessed terrifying power, but its weakness was equally obvious.

It required an extremely long charging time!

Without someone buying him time, Piccolo simply could not finish charging it.

And Son Goku, who had been buying him time, was now unable to move and had lost his ability to fight.

There was no hope left!

Piccolo fell into despair.

Could it be that King Piccolo would die here today?

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Raditz appeared in front of Piccolo.

Piccolo's face filled with shock. He had not seen Raditz move at all!

"Bang!"

Raditz drove a heavy punch into Piccolo's abdomen.

"Argh!"

Piccolo's mouth fell open as he clutched his stomach with both hands, his face twisted in agony. Intense pain spread through his entire body!

"Argh!"

Piccolo cried out in pain again.

Raditz gave Piccolo no chance to react and launched another attack.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Once Raditz went all out, the battle became nothing but a one-sided beating!

Piccolo suffered Raditz's relentless, unilateral assault!

Before long, Piccolo could no longer hold on.

"Bang!"

Raditz finished with a shockwave, and Piccolo completely lost his ability to fight.

Now, both Son Goku and Piccolo were unable to move.

As long as Raditz delivered the finishing blow, the two of them would die!

"Son Goku, I trained hard for five years, all so I could fight you again."

"Who would've thought that before we even fought, we'd both be about to die!"

Piccolo shouted with the last of his strength.

"Ha ha ha~"

"Once we're underground, we can still have a good fight!"

Son Goku was naturally open-minded. Since things had come to this, he calmly accepted death.

"Tap, tap, tap~"

Raditz slowly approached Son Goku.

"Hey! Kakarot, I'm inviting you to join us once again!"

"As long as you join us, I can let you recover from your injuries!"

Raditz said.

"Impossible!"

Son Goku replied firmly.

"Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty!"

"I'll ask you one more time: will you join us or not?"

Raditz planted his right foot directly on Son Goku's face.

He kept increasing the pressure, trying to force Son Goku to submit.

However, he had still underestimated Son Goku.

Even though his face had been distorted and his body was in excruciating pain, Son Goku's determined gaze did not change.

"No!"

Son Goku declared his stance once again.

"In that case, farewell, my dear little brother!"

An energy blast slowly gathered in Raditz's palm as he prepared to deliver the final blow to Son Goku.

"Don't bully my dad!"

At that moment, a childish voice came from behind Raditz.

Son Goku struggled to raise his head and saw a familiar figure.

"Gohan!"

"Run!"

He shouted.

Raditz turned around as well.

He found Gohan glaring at him furiously.

"Oh! Isn't this Kakarot's son?"

Then he realized something was wrong.

"Wasn't he locked inside the spaceship? How did he get out?"

"Beep, beep, beep~"

The Scouter before Raditz's eyes kept sounding.

"880, 950, 1000..."

Raditz's mind was filled with nothing but shock!

"What? This kid's battle power is as high as 1000? And it's still rising?"

At the same time, Son Goku and Piccolo were equally stunned.

The aura erupting from Gohan was far stronger than either of theirs!

"Bad guy!"

"Don't bully my dad!"

Gohan shouted furiously, then charged at Raditz.

"This brat's battle power actually reached 1323?"

Though shocked, Raditz immediately pulled himself together.

"Bang!"

Unable to dodge in time, Raditz took a Headbutt Impact from Gohan!

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Driven back by the tremendous force, Raditz staggered several steps before coming to a stop.

Meanwhile, Gohan had already collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Raditz checked the Scouter again and found that Gohan's battle power was only 1!

"Damn it!"

"To think I was made such a fool of by a little brat!"

Raditz was beside himself with rage and charged straight at Gohan.

Even though Gohan was his nephew, he showed no mercy.

"Gohan!"

Son Goku cried out in anguish.

A fierce sense of helplessness welled up inside him.

His son was in danger, yet he could do nothing!

"Damn it!"

Son Goku cried out in pain, but having lost the ability to move, there was nothing he could do!

"Brat, die!"

Raditz arrived before Gohan, his fist clenched tight.

Everyone knew that once Raditz threw that punch, Gohan would have no chance of surviving.

Gohan was in imminent danger!

From afar, Wu Fei watched everything unfold.

At that moment, the system's voice sounded by his ear: "Ding! The time has come. Host, please take action!"

"After watching for so long, is it finally my turn to make a move?"

Wu Fei was eager to try.

"Whoosh!"

Wu Fei shot forward, charging straight toward Raditz...
