Faced with Gokua's relentless pressure.
Tapion's face was as cold as ice, his figure flickering erratically within the impenetrable net of swords.
He always manages to break through Gokua's blockade with a clever, late-mover advantage.
"All you do is hide?!"
Unable to break through after a prolonged siege, Gokua roared and suddenly created distance.
A violent blue aura surged into the sword, causing the entire longsword to hum.
He gripped his sword with both hands and slashed down furiously!
A massive crescent-shaped sword aura shot out from the blade, carrying an overwhelming force that blocked all of Tapion's escape routes!
Tapion gripped the sword hilt with both hands in reverse, and a soft yet indestructible white light flashed across the blade.
A sword is thrust upwards!
The violent cyan sword energy was precisely cleaved in two the instant it touched the white light, whistling past Tapion's sides and exploding into two huge craters in the ground some distance away.
With his sword energy broken, Gokua's chest was wide open due to the momentum of his full-force swing.
Now!
Tapion's figure transformed into a red streak of light, instantly closing in on Gokua.
His longsword moved like a viper's tongue, unleashing a series of high-speed slashes that left more and more bloodstains on Gokua's Battle Suit!
"Ughhhhhh--!"
Gokua roared in pain and staggered backward, completely unprepared for the terrifying suppressive power of this "hero" who had been faking his death to escape capture!
Behind the ruins.
Trunks and Son Goten watched intently.
"Wow, that red-haired guy is amazing!" Son Goten exclaimed.
Trunks remained silent, watching Tapion's sharp swordsmanship, which stirred a strange longing within him.
On the battlefield, Tapion pressed his advantage, his longsword following him like a shadow.
The cold tip of the sword was already aimed directly at Gokua's throat.
Just as the sword tip was about to pierce Gokua's throat.
Tapion's body suddenly stiffened!
His eyes bulged out, and his originally cold and stern features instantly twisted, revealing an expression of extreme pain.
"Well..."
An extremely evil and dark aura of terror emanated wildly from his body.
In the shadows, a huge, blurry monster phantom appeared behind him, trying to break free of some kind of restraint, letting out a silent roar!
He desperately tried to suppress the abnormality within his body by mobilizing all his energy, but in the end he could not hold on any longer. He collapsed to his knees, his whole body trembling violently, and he completely lost his Power Level.
Gokua had narrowly escaped death, was stunned for a moment, then burst into a deafening laugh.
"Hahaha! This is truly heaven's help!"
His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity without hesitation.
"Go to hell!"
Gokua gripped his sword with both hands and delivered a powerful diagonal slash to Tapion's chest, who was completely unprepared!
Pfft--!
Blood splattered!
Tapion flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the depths of the ruins, kicking up clouds of dust, his fate unknown.
"Hmph, utterly pathetic."
Gokua, carrying a blood-dripping longsword, walked triumphantly step by step towards the ruins.
At the critical moment!
A blindingly bright light suddenly erupted from behind the ruins!
Accompanied by a childish yet resounding roar!
" Solar Flare!"
Caught off guard, Gokua was momentarily blinded by the bright light and clutched his eyes in pain.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden beam of light roared in!
Son Goten's childish voice rang out again!
" Kamehameha Wave!"
The violent energy instantly engulfed Gokua, triggering a massive explosion, and the terrifying shockwave leveled everything around it once again.
The dust and smoke dissipated.
At the epicenter of the explosion, Gokua was charred black and looked somewhat disheveled, but he had not suffered any significant damage.
He opened his eyes in fury, only to find that Tapion had vanished from the rubble pit.
Gokua suddenly looked up.
A small, multi-person spaceship was seen rapidly ascending from behind the ruins, attempting to escape the planet.
"Trying to run?!"
Gokua roared and unleashed a high-speed slash that tore through the air!
Inside the spacecraft's cockpit.
Trunks skillfully maneuvered the ship to evade attacks.
But that sword energy was just too fast!
The spaceship was still grazed on the outside by the sword energy.
The engine appears to have been affected!
"Hateful!"
Trunks, seeing the frantically flashing red warning lights, anxiously Son Goten to Goten behind him.
" Goten! Contact Master immediately!"
Planet Metamor.
The atmosphere in the spacious banquet hall was both warm and peaceful.
Turles leaned back comfortably in the main seat, one hand supporting his chin, the other holding a drink that emitted a peculiar fruity aroma, as he watched with great interest the unique welcoming dance of the Metamoran.
The table was laden with exotic fruits unique to this planet, and the air was filled with a soothing aroma.
No one knew that for most of the past month, Turles had actually been acting like a worried old father, quietly keeping his presence hidden and following the two little devils from a distance.
We witnessed their growth in battle, and their control over "qi," from its initial violent outward expression to its current mastery of control.
Those two brats certainly didn't disappoint him.
With the mission deadline fast approaching and the two performing exceptionally well, making rapid progress, Turles assessed that there shouldn't be any major risks ahead.
Only then did they finally feel relieved and left ahead of time, arriving at the Planet Metamor.
He needed to prepare the next stage of training for his two disciples.
It's the Fusion Technique of the Metamoran!
Trunks and Son Goten have the highest potential, but their foundation is still shallow.
Fusion Technique can undoubtedly solve this weakness of theirs.
Quickly build a powerful Power Level!
They possess an innate and wondrous synergy; once they master the Fusion Technique, the increase in their Power Level will be far more than simply one plus one equals two.
At that time, Little Cell shouldn't be a problem.
After a friendly but far from efficient "exchange".
An elder from the Planet Metamor, skilled in Fusion Technique, sat respectfully to his left, ready to return with him to the Sixth Branch Base to serve as the two little ones' new mentor.
Everything seemed so perfect.
Turles ' communicator beeped at an inopportune moment.
He put down his wine glass and answered the call.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his expression gradually darkened.
So, they ran into this mess the moment I left?
He quickly closed his eyes, trying to sense the exact location of the two little ones' "qi".
However, the distance was simply too far.
They are in completely different star systems.
He quickly transmitted the coordinate data that the spaceship was currently transmitting back in real time directly to the Planet Turles.
Sending a rescuer from the base would be much closer, both in terms of distance and flight path, than sending him from here!
Meanwhile, on the Planet Turles.
Inside Dr. Gero's core laboratory.
He was slightly drawn to the noise. "Is that the general's signal?"
Faced with this situation, Dr. Gero had no choice but to stop his experiment...
