Piccolo spread his arms, using his body to take Nappa's fatal blow head-on.
Pfft!
The energy pierced through his chest, leaving a shocking bloody hole.
Piccolo's body swayed, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
He slowly turned his head, looking at Gohan, who was safe and sound behind him, but already stunned.
For the first time, a gentle smile appeared on that always cold face.
“You… were the first… person who didn’t treat me like a monster, and was willing to talk to me…”,
“This year… wasn’t… bad at all…”,
With that, Piccolo’s body fell heavily.
On the other side, Kami also disappeared.
“Uncle Piccolo!!!”
Witnessing Piccolo’s death, immense grief and anger instantly broke through Gohan’s inner defenses.
Under the immense anger, an unprecedented powerful force erupted from Gohan’s small body!
“Masenko!!!”
Gohan pushed out a golden energy wave with both hands, which accurately struck Nappa.
Nappa was knocked back a few steps by this sudden power, and for the first time, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
“This brat…”
Vegeta’s scouter emitted a piercing alarm.
“Battle power 2800! How is that possible!”
However, this was only a fleeting moment.
After his outburst of anger, Gohan instantly lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
Nappa stretched the shoulder that had been hit by the Masenko, and the expression on his face became even more cruel.
“Interesting kid, but the game is over.”
The shadow of death completely enveloped the entire battlefield.
Piccolo's death was a crucial plot point, a necessary condition for Goku to go to Namek.
But Gohan couldn't be harmed.
Son Goku’s energy was getting closer and closer, but it would still take some time for him to arrive at the battlefield.
At this moment, only the exhausted Krillin and the collapsed Gohan remained.
On the distant snow-capped mountain, Luo Feng let out a long sigh, his voice filled with helplessness and reluctance.
“Sigh, it seems it’s time to work overtime.”
Nappa’s thick foot pressed down firmly on Gohan’s small back.
Gohan’s cheek was pressed against the rough gravel.
Despair immediately engulfed Gohan’s consciousness.
“Gohan!”
Krillin let out an unwilling roar.
He quickly rushed towards Nappa.
But Nappa just waved his hand casually, sending Krillin flying to the ground.
Krillin struggled on the ground, unable to even get up, and could only watch Gohan struggle under Nappa’s foot, unable to do anything.
Earth was truly doomed.
On a high rock in the distance, Vegeta watched all this with indifference, letting out a sneer.
The riff-raff of low-level planets were truly so fragile and pathetic.
“Hurry up and finish them, Nappa.”
“Don’t waste any more time.”
At the summit of the snow mountain.
The alarm sounded again in Luo Feng's mind.
“Ding! Detected that the host’s important associated character, Gohan, is on the verge of death, which will seriously affect the host’s future! Please intervene immediately!”
If Gohan died, Son Goku would certainly fall into an unprecedented rage.
A raging Son Goku against Vegeta, the variables were too great.
It was really uncertain if he could maintain his sanity, and whether such a Goku could win was an unknown.
Of course, at this moment, Son Goku would certainly not transform into a Super Saiyan just because of anger.
Because his battle power wasn't enough, his foundation was still a bit lacking.
Overall, if Son Goku also died later, and various events like the Androids and Majin Buu occurred, Earth would lack a crucial combat force, and the dragon ball storyline would completely collapse, leading to many troublesome and uncontrollable factors.
At that time, the probability of Earth being destroyed would greatly increase.
Rebuilding a home, finding a new planet for retirement, just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
And most importantly, Earth’s food was the most delicious in the entire universe! Going to other planets, he might have to eat bugs.
“It seems I have no choice but to act…”
Luo Feng stood up, patting away non-existent snowflakes from his body.
The next second.
Luo Feng’s figure turned into a blur completely imperceptible to the naked eye, instantly disappearing from his original spot.
Here at the desolate battlefield.
Nappa grinned, slowly raising his massive, fan-like hand.
A destructive purple energy ball rapidly condensed in Nappa’s palm.
“Kid, say goodbye to this world!”
Krillin closed his eyes in despair.
The energy ball crashed down.
Just a thousandth of a second before the light was about to engulf Gohan.
A figure, without any warning, appeared like a ghost beside Nappa.
Nappa didn’t even have time to turn his massive head.
His visual nerves simply couldn't catch this suddenly appearing shadow.
Nappa only felt an incomprehensible and irresistible immense force accurately hitting his waist.
Bang!
A loud bang.
Nappa’s enormous body instantly twisted into a bizarre “C” shape.
The arrogant bald giant's sneer froze, his eyes bulging, filled with unbelievable horror.
Immediately after, Nappa’s body flew backward like a launched cannonball.
Boom—
Nappa’s body plowed a deep gully in the ground, smashing countless rocks, and finally slammed hard into the distant mountain wall that had been hit by Tien Shinhan’s Tri-Beam.
Dust filled the air, rising skyward.
Nappa’s massive body slid down the mountain wall like a pile of mud, crashing heavily to the ground, large gushes of blood pouring from his mouth.
All his bones felt like they had come apart, and intense pain instantly overwhelmed all of Nappa’s senses.
Even this battle-hardened Saiyan was now groaning in agony.
Nappa struggled to get up but couldn't even lift a finger.
Severely injured.
With just one strike.
The entire world fell into a dead silence.
Krillin and Gohan both stared blankly at the surreal scene before them.
Their minds were blank.
What happened?
What… happened just now?
They didn’t even clearly see the figure, only knowing that the powerful and despair-inducing Nappa had been swatted away like a fly by an incredible force.
Vegeta also widened his eyes, looking at the scene before him in disbelief.
Because just now, he too had barely seen what had happened.
How could such a thing happen?
How could he, the dignified Saiyan Prince, not even clearly see the movements of a low-level planetary scum!
The dust slowly dissipated.
A slender figure appeared in the spot where Nappa had originally stood.
Luo Feng didn’t assume any combat stance, merely casually clapped his hands, as if he had just brushed off a bit of dust.
Then, Luo Feng looked at Gohan and Krillin, who had survived the ordeal on the ground, his calm tone filled with the same helplessness as complaining about hot weather.
“Big guy.”
“Can’t you just quietly wait for Son Goku to return?”
