Then Android 17 reached over Xia Le's fist to seize his wrist, but Xia Le's other fist came hurtling at him.
Android 17 raised a hand to block.
Bang!
A ripple of force spread from the punch, and Android 17 stepped back.
But in the next instant, a smile crossed his face, and he swept out a leg.
Bang!
The kick slammed into Xia Le's abdomen, doubling him over. He nearly threw up.

Android 17 spoke with a sneer.
He clasped his hands together, ready to hammer them down on Xia Le's head.

Bang!
Xia Le spat out a Ki Blast, and Android 17 struck it head-on.
The violent collision sent Android 17 flying backward.
Xia Le slid back dozens of meters too.
Boom!
The Ki Blast plunged into a nearby building and erupted in a burst of searing flame.
"Interesting!"
Android 17 looked surprised at first, then sneered.
Xia Le wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled too.
His eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and his aura surged again.
After that brief warm-up, he could tell there was still a gap between them, but it wasn't large.
In other words, he could hold his own in a fight with Android 17.
And a fight like this could only benefit Xia Le.
So he had nothing to fear!
The next second.
Their gazes met. Lightning seemed to streak through the air as both figures blurred into streaks of light and slammed together.
Xia Le's face twisted with effort as he threw punch
