The fierce wind whistled through the wasteland, carrying a heavy atmosphere of slaughter.
Both sides confronted one another while intense killing intent filled the battlefield.
Bang!
Bang!
Fists and palms collided repeatedly while muscles bulged and joints cracked like roasted beans.
Son Goku casually stretched his body as his legs transformed into afterimages, producing explosive sonic booms through the air.
Then he calmly looked toward Vegeta and Nappa.
“So, which one of you is coming first?” “Kakarot, you really do have a death wish.” Nappa grinned cruelly while glancing toward Krillin and the others nearby.
“I’ll kill you first.” “After that, I’ll slowly slaughter the rest of these weaklings one by one.” “Haha…
if you’re scared, you should run now.” “That way, you might still have a tiny chance of surviving.” Krillin instantly became annoyed after hearing Nappa mock their courage.
“Our strength may not compare to yours, but Earth’s martial artists never retreat from powerful enemies!” “As expected of martial artists.” Son Goku smiled slightly.
“Even in the face of overwhelming enemies, they still refuse to back down.” “Is that so?
Interesting.” Vegeta suddenly laughed softly while showing a look of amusement.
Then he muttered thoughtfully.
“In that case, Kakarot…
how about we play a game first?” “A game?” Son Goku looked curious.
He genuinely had no idea what Vegeta was planning now.
“That’s right.
A very entertaining game.” Vegeta smiled with obvious interest.
“Nappa, we still have six Saibaman seeds remaining, don’t we?” “Plant them.” “Hahaha!” Nappa immediately burst into laughter.
“Vegeta, you really are in a good mood today!” “What’s a Saibaman?” Krillin widened his eyes in confusion.
“What is that thing?” Even Gohan looked puzzled.
Without bothering to answer, Nappa reached into the pouch attached to his waist and pulled out a small transparent container.
Inside were several strange seeds.
He carefully counted six of them before crouching down and digging six small holes into the ground.
After planting the seeds, he poured nutrient solution onto the soil.
Less than a minute later…
Gurgle…
gurgle…
The ground suddenly began shaking.
Then six short green creatures with large heads, crimson eyes, and twisted limbs burst out from the earth like bamboo shoots after rainfall.
Their sinister laughter immediately echoed across the battlefield.
“Heh heh heh heh…” “Wha…
what the hell are those things?!” Krillin nearly jumped in shock.
“They’re disgusting!” “So these are Saibamen.” Son Goku carefully observed them with interest.
In his previous life, he had only heard Krillin and the others describe these creatures.
Now he was finally seeing them personally for the first time.
Honestly speaking…
They really were ugly.
Vegeta glanced toward the Saibamen and gave them a simple order.
“Teach them a lesson.” “Before the real battle starts, let’s enjoy some entertainment.” Vegeta crossed his arms calmly while appearing completely relaxed.
Clearly, he believed the entire situation was fully under his control.
“Vegeta, your hobbies are certainly unique.” Son Goku suddenly fell into deep thought.
The Vegeta he remembered from the future timeline usually spent his time training inside gravity chambers, shopping with Bulma and Bulla, or soaking comfortably in hot baths.
Vegeta instantly looked speechless.
What exactly did any of that have to do with this situation?
And more importantly…
Why did Kakarot keep speaking as though they were close friends?
A low-class warrior like him could never understand the true joy of battle.
“Kakarot, there’s no need for you to fight immediately.” Vegeta slowly smirked.
“There are six Saibamen and six Earthlings.” “Why not let them fight one-on-one?” “This little performance should be entertaining.” “Hmph!” Piccolo immediately clenched his fists angrily.
“Entertainment?” “Are you treating us like circus animals?” Since becoming the Demon King, he had never suffered such humiliation.
“There’s no need for this nonsense.” “I can destroy all six of them myself.” Piccolo was just about to attack when Krillin hurriedly stopped him.
“Wait!” “Those creatures don’t look normal at all.” At that moment, Tien Shinhan suddenly stepped forward.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
He clenched his fists together while his eyes burned with fighting spirit.
“Let me handle the first one.” “Good.” Son Goku nodded before stepping aside.
Nappa sneered mockingly.
“Hmph.
Another fool who doesn’t know the difference between life and death.” Vegeta casually pointed toward one of the Saibamen.
“You.” “Fight first.” “And don’t hold back.” The selected Saibaman immediately nodded obediently.
Its crimson eyes flashed viciously while a sinister expression spread across its ugly face.
“Tien Shinhan!
Beat it!” Chiaotzu excitedly waved his fists while cheering loudly from behind.
Meanwhile, Son Goku carefully observed every detail of the battlefield.
In the original timeline, Tien Shinhan died from exhausting all his strength.
Chiaotzu later sacrificed himself through self-destruction.
This time, Son Goku absolutely would not allow those tragedies to happen again.
Besides, reviving dead people required using Shenron.
And in Goku’s eyes, the fewer wishes used, the better.
Regardless of the reason, he intended to prevent unnecessary deaths as much as possible.
Tien Shinhan slowly nodded.
His breathing gradually calmed as his spirit focused like the deep sea.
Then he began gathering his Qi.
His Aura rose steadily higher and higher until reaching its limit.
“Yaaahhh!” The Saibaman suddenly lunged forward violently.
Its expression became savage while its small body shot toward Tien Shinhan like an arrow released from a bowstring.
“Hah!” Tien Shinhan instantly extended two fingers from his right hand.
The movement was sharp and swift like a sword strike.
Invisible energy burst outward violently and enveloped the Saibaman directly.
Bang!
The creature immediately trembled violently as though struck by lightning.
Its limbs twisted unnaturally while horrifying cracking sounds erupted from its body.
Tien Shinhan immediately pressed the advantage and launched a fierce storm of attacks.
His goal was to kill the Saibaman in one decisive strike.
However…
The Saibaman suddenly revealed a sinister grin.
Its head abruptly split open like a cracked watermelon.
Tien Shinhan’s expression changed instantly.
A powerful energy blast suddenly erupted from inside the creature’s head like a venomous serpent lunging from its nest.
The attack shot directly toward Tien Shinhan at point-blank range.
Whoosh!
At that critical moment, years of combat experience saved him.
Without hesitation, Tien Shinhan instinctively leaped backward like a startled rabbit and narrowly avoided the attack trajectory.
Sizzle!
The white energy wave tore violently across the earth.
Its terrifying power carved a massive trench through the battlefield like an enraged tsunami.
The destruction extended all the way toward the distant mountains.
Krillin immediately broke out into cold sweat.
“That was way too dangerous!” Son Goku initially frowned slightly before relaxing again.
“Hah!” Tien Shinhan gathered his Qi once more as his combat power erupted explosively.
The instant the Saibaman’s attack ended, he moved.
Whoosh!
His figure flashed forward like a ghost.
In less than a blink, he had already appeared directly before the stunned Saibaman.
The creature froze in shock.
By the time it regained its senses, it was already too late.
Tien Shinhan’s arm bent sharply like a drawn bow.
Then his elbow smashed forward with explosive force.
Crack!
The elbow strike landed directly against the Saibaman’s head like a thunderbolt.
Its skull instantly caved inward while both eyes bulged grotesquely.
The sound of shattering porcelain echoed clearly.
“Aaaaahhhhhh!” The Saibaman released a miserable scream.
At the same moment, explosive Qi erupted violently from Tien Shinhan’s elbow like a collapsing dam.
The force pierced through the creature’s flesh and rushed directly into its brain before detonating from within.
Boom!
Violent winds exploded behind the Saibaman while swirling energy waves scattered dust throughout the battlefield.
Thud!
The Saibaman collapsed limply onto the ground.
Its limbs spread unnaturally as though every bone in its body had shattered completely.
Victory had been decided in an instant.
Nappa stared blankly in disbelief.
“How…
how is this possible…?”
