Chapter 76 Battle Against a Vegetable
Shang Yun stopped Piccolo, who wanted to kill the seven plant-like beings in one move, and whispered, "Piccolo, we promised them that Goku has just been revived and is on his way back to Earth. We don't know when he will arrive. We need to buy some time."
"Hmph! Then you guys go ahead." Piccolo stopped and snorted coldly, clearly displeased that they were placing their hopes on Goku.
"I'll go first!" Tien Shinhan was aware of the plan to stall for time, which they had discussed back at Kami's Lookout.
Tien Shinhan was the first to jump down the hill and step into the battlefield. He shouted, "You guys, don't underestimate Earthlings! Today I'll show you what I'm made of!"
"Hmph! Go! Kill him!" Seeing Tien Shinhan take the initiative to fight, Nappa snorted and signaled one of the plant-like beings to go up. The plant-like being seemed to sense that Tien Shinhan's strength was not strong, smiled contemptuously, and rushed up.
At the start of the battle, Tien Shinhan saw the vegetable rushing towards him. Without dodging, he spread his legs, assumed a horse stance, took a deep breath, placed his hands on his forehead, spread his fingers, and rapidly gathered his inner energy. With a loud shout like the ringing of a bell, he unleashed the "Solar Punch".
In an instant, a beam of light as intense as the sun burst forth from his palm, instantly filling the entire battlefield and attempting to disrupt the Vegetable Man's vision. This move was one of Tien Shinhan's signature techniques, using intense light to blind the opponent and create an opportunity to attack. He thought to himself, "This move will definitely throw this monster into disarray."
Immediately afterward, Tien Shinhan moved with lightning speed, closing in like a ghost, his legs flashing out in rapid succession. Each kick carried immense power and a tricky angle, seemingly capable of tearing through the air, as he shouted, "This kick is for the Earth you've trampled upon!"
The vegetable man was unable to defend himself and was forced to retreat repeatedly by Tien Shinhan's series of attacks. Tien Shinhan pressed his advantage, leaped high into the air, spun his body in the air, placed his right hand on top of his left hand, and roared as he unleashed the "Tri-Beam."
Tien Shinhan unleashed his Tri-Blast with both hands, which surged towards the Vegetable Man like a raging wave, sending him flying several meters away. The Vegetable Man regained his footing in mid-air, then opened his mouth and spat out a stream of white liquid with a pungent odor, shooting it towards Tien Shinhan like a white arrow.
Tien Shinhan quickly dodged, and the white liquid fell to the ground, instantly creating a large crater and emitting a pungent odor.
Seeing this, Tien Shinhan's eyes sharpened, and he secretly became wary: "This monster is incredibly strong, but I won't be defeated so easily." He no longer held back, unleashing all his skills, his fists whistling and his legs flying, each attack imbued with all his strength and determination.
Just as the vegetative man was about to be overwhelmed, Tien Shinhan seized the opportunity to grab one of his legs and deliver a side kick, instantly knocking him to the ground. The vegetative man collapsed in pain, struggling to get up.
Upon seeing this, Naba's eyes widened in disbelief, and he roared, "How is this possible! How can such a weak Earthling possess such power!"
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, glanced sideways at Nappa, and said in an icy tone, "I told you long ago not to rely too much on the power level detector. Their power levels are far more complex than what the detector shows; they're probably all above 1200. These Earth warriors seem to not only have ways to conceal their strength but also to enhance their power through energy gathering." As he spoke, he casually unleashed an energy wave, completely obliterating the defeated vegetable-man, leaving a burnt smell in the air.
"Hmph, what a piece of trash, you go!" Nappa looked at the vegetable being killed by Vegeta and approved of Vegeta's actions. He ordered another vegetable to go up and fight. The vegetable was initially a little timid, but when it saw Nappa's fierce eyes, it had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.
"This guy is really cruel, even killing his own people." Klin said with a frown upon seeing this.
"Yes, judging from these guys' behavior, their purpose in finding the Dragon Balls shouldn't be to fulfill their wish to revive Raditz. It might be some more terrifying wish." Shang Yun couldn't quite remember Vegeta's purpose in coming to Earth to find the Dragon Balls.
"Whatever their wish may be, we must stop them. Those two evil guys can't possibly have any good wishes," Klin said through gritted teeth.
"Tien Shinhan, you take a break, I'll take over!" Seeing Tien Shinhan easily defeat a vegetable, Yamcha also volunteered to fight.
"Okay, be careful of what this monster spits out." Tien Shinhan nodded.
Yamcha nodded, took a deep breath, and adjusted his state, feeling both anger towards the enemy and a hint of tension.
Just as Yamcha entered the battlefield, Shang Yun felt a sudden tightness in his chest and quickly recalled the battle in the original story from his previous life, wondering if Yamcha might be in any danger.
Yamcha's fighting style is quite flexible and versatile, and he excels at combining close-range and ranged attacks. He first dashed towards the vegetable man, his body drawing a graceful arc in the air as he unleashed the "Wolf Fang Wind Fist".
Yamcha's fists rained down on his opponent, the speed of his punches leaving afterimages in the air. He roared inwardly, "I must fight for Earth's honor!" The vegetable man could only defend passively. Seeing that he hadn't gained much advantage in close combat, Yamcha quickly distanced himself from the vegetable man, placing his hands swiftly at his waist and shouting, "Kamehameha!" A dazzling blue energy wave surged towards the vegetable man like a raging tide. With a loud bang, the vegetable man was struck by the energy wave and fell to the ground, motionless.
Yamcha had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had the victory in his grasp. He turned to Shang Yun and the others with a victorious smile, intending to turn and leave the battlefield. But the moment he turned, the vegetable man staggered to his feet again and pounced on Yamcha with lightning speed.
"Yamcha! Watch out!" Just as the vegetative man struggled to his feet, Shang Yun suddenly remembered that the vegetative man could self-destruct. A vegetative man with a combat power of 1200 self-destructing at close range would be something none of them could withstand. Shang Yun hurriedly reminded Yamcha not to be careless, and even used "Divine Realm Transmission" to instantly move between Yamcha and the vegetative man, trying to kick the vegetative man away.
However, Yamcha and the vegetative state were too close, and Shang Yun had only just comprehended "Divine Realm Connection" and was not yet able to move at will. In the end, he was a step too slow, and the vegetative state had already hugged Yamcha from behind.
