Targeted

"That is... the Earthlings from Kakarot's side!?"

Vegeta's attention was drawn, and he looked toward the chaotic melee in disbelief.

Before he could even wonder how these people had reached Namek, he was shocked by the strength they displayed.

"Impossible, the combat power of these Earthlings..."

Who was Ginyu? He was the number one fighter under Frieza, and Vegeta had always heard legendary tales of his combat record.

He did not recognize the three members of Cooler's Armored Squadron, but the strength they displayed far exceeded Ginyu's.

Yet, these four incredibly strong individuals were being suppressed by those Earthlings.

"There must be a way for these guys to get stronger quickly. I have to find out what it is!" Vegeta's expression turned somewhat ferocious.

"Bang!"

The giant-sized Slug, his body like a mountain, was lifted over Frieza's head with one hand. With a whistle that tore through the air, he was slammed fiercely into the cracked ground of Namek.

The earth collapsed, forming a bottomless pit. The shockwave sent debris hundreds of meters into the air, and spring water gushed out from underground.

Without waiting for Slug to react, Frieza wrapped his tail around his thick fingers and, as if swinging a ten-thousand-pound hammer, continued to smash him down.

Bang, bang, bang!

Deafening roars rang out one after another. The land of Namek was smashed into a series of deep craters, each filled with Slug's blood and shattered body parts.

"Hahahaha, it's useless, you're just wasting your energy."

Slug crawled out of the deep pit, his wounds already healed, not even a trace remaining.

"Oh, is that so?"

Frieza slowly extended a finger, and a beam of light shot out, piercing through Slug's massive heart.

Slug let out a muffled groan, and his heart instantly returned to its original state.

"Even an immortal body feels pain, right?" Frieza's eyes were bright, as if he had discovered some novel toy.

"You'd better not beg for mercy, or I'll find it very boring."

Slug refused to show weakness: "Maintaining this form consumes a lot of stamina. Let's see who can hold out until the end!"

In his final form, Frieza beat Slug until he had no power to fight back. He finally realized how terrifying the Emperor of the Universe was.

"So, Slug has already used the Namekian Dragon Balls to make a wish." Son Gohan pieced together the truth from their conversation.

Porunga had also been killed by Slug. He looked at Piccolo, thinking, This is on par with your old man.

"Then what do we do? Is it really impossible to kill him?" Piccolo was unwilling to give up; he wanted to avenge the Namekians.

He knew they could still use the Earth's Dragon Balls to revive the dead Namekians, but he still felt a pent-up frustration in his heart.

"He can be killed, but none of us can do it."

Immortality is not absolute. A God of Destruction could easily destroy him with the energy of Destruction.

As for higher-level deities, an immortal body was nothing but a joke to them.

"Such an enemy is indeed troublesome." Son Goku pondered for a long time, only able to let out a sigh.

"Don't worry, I have other ways to deal with him." Son Gohan had been fully prepared when he arrived.

Above them, it was as lively as a festival, with eight people exchanging various energy blasts. The "Prince's tactics" had deeply influenced everyone.

"Tien Shinhan and the others are doing quite well." Son Goku looked up, full of admiration.

"Die, you bald bastard!"

Dore was covered in wounds, gritting his teeth and fighting for his life. His moves were ruthless and sharp, aiming straight for vital points.

Tien Shinhan's three eyes were sharp and focused, accurately capturing the trajectory of his opponent's movements. He parried every strike, steady as a rock.

As soon as the words "bald bastard" left his mouth, Krillin and Chiaotzu looked at Dore simultaneously. The two attacked together, firing energy blasts as if they were free, bombarding Dore.

At the same time, the pressure on Salza and Ginyu suddenly eased, and both cast grateful glances toward Dore.

"Oh, crap!"

Dore screamed in terror. He only just realized that out of the four people opposite him, three were bald. His one sentence had essentially poked a hornet's nest of bald men.

"It's ending over there." Son Gohan muttered to himself. With such a good opportunity, there was no way Tien Shinhan would miss it.

Sure enough, just as Son Gohan finished speaking, Tien Shinhan seized the moment and unleashed his ultimate move at point-blank range.

"Tri-Beam!"

"Ah..."

Dore's scream came to an abrupt end. His body turned to ash within the scorching golden beam of light.

Dore's death seemed to open the gates of hell, chilling the remaining two members of Cooler's Armored Squadron. They had no heart left to resist and only wanted to flee.

Krillin and Yamcha did not want to be outdone by Tien Shinhan. They gathered all their energy into their hands and shouted:

"Destructo Disc!"

"Spirit Ball!"

The razor-like, high-speed rotating disc and the spherical, compressed energy ball that could change direction hit Salza and Neiz without any surprise.

"Boom! Boom!"

With two explosions, Salza and Neiz bloomed like fireworks and vanished into thin air.

"Dodon Ray!"

Chiaotzu followed closely behind, a bright yellow beam firing from his fingertip like a divine arrow, heading straight for Ginyu's brow.

"Slap!"

Ginyu reached out and violently swatted the beam away. The beam shot toward the water below, splashing into the surface with a puff.

Chiaotzu's combat power was twenty thousand lower than Ginyu's; being able to achieve this much was already quite impressive.

"Chiaotzu, we're here to help you."

Tien Shinhan, Krillin, and Yamcha finished off their opponents and immediately flew over, surrounding Ginyu.

Ginyu panicked. He couldn't escape at all. Hardening his heart, he spread his arms and shouted at the strongest among them, Tien Shinhan: "Body Change!"

Once this move took effect, Ginyu and Tien Shinhan would swap souls. At that point, the others would be afraid of harming Tien Shinhan's body and wouldn't dare to attack Ginyu again.

"Oh no!" Son Goku and Piccolo wanted to intervene, but it was already too late.

Son Gohan knew of Ginyu's ultimate technique and had been keeping an eye on his movements.

Swish!

The moment Ginyu shouted "Body Change," Son Gohan appeared as if teleporting and kicked him in the stomach.

Ginyu fell backward, and the yellow beam from his mouth shot into the sky, hitting no one.

A ki blast appeared in Son Gohan's hand, which he pressed against Ginyu's waist. The next second, he had already appeared far away.

"Boom!"

Ginyu exploded. The massive flash of light and smoke obscured the surrounding view.

"Gohan, thanks." Tien Shinhan felt a lingering fear; at that moment, he had felt as if his soul were about to leave his body.

"Phew, you really can't underestimate these aliens." Krillin wiped the sweat from his bald head, feeling relieved.

"Saiyans." Cooler's gaze was cold and sinister as he looked at Son Gohan's tail.

He had heard that the Saiyans on Earth were strong; these must be them.

"These wild monkeys are really capable of jumping around, even killing my strongest subordinates." Cooler wore an evil smile.

"Cut the weeds and dig up the roots; don't be like your brother." King Cold remained unmoved, having no intention of intervening.

Krillin and the others were still immersed in their excitement when they suddenly felt their hair stand on end, their bodies tensing up involuntarily.

"What's going on?" Yamcha looked around, but didn't see any enemies.

Son Gohan turned his head and met Cooler's eyes in the distance: I really was targeted!
