The pain in his body only fueled his anger further. His face twisted with madness, and he wished he could tear Salari into eight pieces.
Sensing Salza’s aura surge explosively, Salari paused in her steps, slightly surprised. “Got stronger, did you? You’re still alive after that—looks like I underestimated you.”
“Hmph!!! You wild monkey, you’ve just managed to get a little advantage, don’t get so carried away with yourself!!” Consumed by rage, Salza erupted in fury. His hands moved rapidly, launching dozens of energy blasts at Salari.
“This level of attack isn’t even worth dodging.” Despite Salza’s increase in power, he still posed no threat to Salari.
Salari clenched her fists, her aura gradually surging, forming an indestructible Ki shield around her.
The dense energy attacks struck Salari head-on.
‘Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!!…’
The fiery explosions continued without end, each shockwave shaking the planet.
The storm created by the explosion spread rapidly, flattening everything within a radius of over ten miles.
Thick smoke rolled outward, engulfing everything within a thousand meters.
Salza continued his full-power energy bombardment without pause, sustaining it for a full minute before finally stopping.
“Huff… huff… huff…” As the onslaught ended, Salza gasped for breath, utterly exhausted.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he revealed an arrogant smile and said smugly, “This time, you’re nothing but ashes, wild monkey.”
Under Salza’s watchful gaze, the smoke gradually cleared, and Salari’s figure began to emerge bit by bit.
“What?!!”
When he saw Salari standing there completely unharmed, Salza was dumbfounded.
His ultimate, limit-breaking energy attack hadn’t left so much as a scratch on Salari?!
Salza had just shown a textbook example of the “all smoke, no damage” rule.
“Other than kicking up a little dust, your attack had no other effect.” Salari patted the dust off her body, a wild grin spreading across her face.
Seeing this, Salza’s expression became incredibly grim, and his body instinctively retreated backward.
As the captain of the Cooler Armored Squadron, Salza had always prided himself on his intelligence. But at this moment, no matter how arrogant he was, he understood one thing—Salari’s power level was far beyond his own.
His instincts screamed at him to flee, but he knew Cooler’s personality all too well. If he ran, Cooler would execute him without hesitation.
Defeat the enemy, or be killed by Cooler—those were his only options.
The looming threat of death made him extremely uncomfortable.
…
Meanwhile, on Raditz’s battlefield.
The battle between Neiz and Raditz had already begun.
Unlike the fight between Salari and Salza, Raditz fought with decisiveness and ferocity. He completely suppressed Neiz, his overwhelming power level making Neiz question his very existence.
If not for his unique abilities—his exceptional speed and considerable battle experience—he would have already been killed by Raditz.
【Damn it! These Saiyans didn’t just happen to be on this planet. They were waiting here to ambush us on purpose. Dore is dead, Salza is barely holding on, and I can’t keep this up much longer. Lord Cooler has no intention of saving us. Damn it, I have to rely on myself!】Neiz analyzed his situation, trying to figure out a way to escape and survive.
After exchanging several blows with Raditz, he had gauged the Saiyan’s power level—it was definitely over 200,000.
“Looks like you’re not as strong as I thought. I must’ve had too high of an expectation for you. My bad for overestimating you.” With a mocking tone, Raditz suddenly unleashed his full power.
“Haaaahhhh!!!” With a thunderous roar, Raditz’s power erupted, his attack speed accelerating instantly, his strikes becoming stronger and stronger.
Like a raging storm, his relentless assault poured down on Neiz like an unstoppable flood.
The overwhelming offensive left Neiz struggling to defend, his face filled with terror.
He was nearing his limit.
“Haaah!!” With a furious shout, Raditz gathered immense power into his fist and threw a devastating punch.
‘Boom!!!’ A horrifying scene unfolded.
With absolute strength, Raditz shattered Neiz’s right wrist. Purple blood sprayed out like a fountain.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!” A howl of unbearable agony burst from Neiz’s mouth.
“Heh heh heh heh…” Raditz had no intention of letting Neiz off the hook. As his opponent screamed in pain, Raditz gathered power and delivered a fierce kick straight to Neiz’s chest.
Struck by another devastating blow, Neiz coughed up blood as his body was sent hurtling backward uncontrollably. His aura plummeted like falling off a cliff. After flying an unknown distance, he barely managed to stabilize himself.
At this moment, fear gripped his heart and cold sweat poured down like raindrops.
He was going to die. He was really going to die.
…
The scene shifted back to Talot’s battlefield.
After dealing with Dore, Talot was now facing off against Cooler.
The tension in the air was suffocating, yet strangely, Cooler didn’t seem angry about his subordinate’s death. Instead, he began clapping for Talot’s performance.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
“What an awe-inspiring display of power. Ruthless, decisive—you killed my strongest warrior in an instant.” Cooler started with praise, then let out a chuckle before continuing, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been this intrigued. I don’t even care that you’re a Saiyan. What do you say? Submit to me. I can give you everything you desire—even make you the new King of the Saiyans.”
As Cooler’s words fell, his audacious proposition made Talot think he was delusional.
Trying to recruit people at every opportunity— this was truly a bad habit of their race. Did they ever stop to consider if the other party might have even greater power?
What Talot didn’t realize was that his sheer strength had thoroughly captivated Cooler.
From Cooler’s perspective, a warrior with a power level far beyond 300,000 is an invaluable asset, which can save him countless troubles in the future. And with Talot under his command, he could also use him to spite Frieza.
“You’re that sure I’ll just submit?” Talot scoffed with a mocking smile, completely unimpressed.
“Only those who recognize reality can survive in this world! Let me tell you the truth—your home planet, Planet Vegeta, was not destroyed by a giant meteor. It was Frieza who annihilated it himself. A clash between me and Frieza is inevitable in the future. Perhaps one day, I’ll personally kill Frieza—and I could avenge your Saiyan race in the process. This is a one-time opportunity. You’d better think carefully.” Cooler raised a single finger, his crimson eyes radiating cold indifference.
