Chapter 115 Qiu Yi is killed
Seeing Vegeta closing in, Qiu Yi was filled with terror. He knelt down with a thud, clasped his hands together, and begged for mercy in a tearful voice, "Vegeta, spare me! I won't do it again! I was blinded by greed all this time!" Vegeta's eyes were as cold as ice as he pressed closer to him, his killing intent surging. "Hmph, when you humiliated me like that, did you ever foresee this day? Begging for mercy now is too late!"
Qiu Yi's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes widened, and he looked behind Vegeta, shouting hoarsely, "F...Frieza the Great! What brings you here!" Vegeta's heart skipped a beat, and his deep fear of Frieza made him turn around sharply, but behind him there was only a sandstorm.
Taking advantage of the lull, Qiu Yi smirked, rapidly gathering energy in his hands, and roared, "Die!" A blinding shockwave, like a raging lightning serpent, hurtled towards Vegeta, exploding with a deafening boom, sending sand and dust flying everywhere. Qiu Yi pressed his advantage, his hands whirling like windmills, unleashing wave after wave of energy towards Vegeta's position, tearing the earth apart with jagged ravines, sending sand and stones flying everywhere.
As the dust settled, Qiu Yi, panting heavily, looked at the land before him, which resembled a post-apocalyptic ruin. After searching around in vain, a smug look appeared on his face: "Hmph, even if you could dodge it, taking this barrage of blows would leave you crippled or dead. I'm still stronger!"
"This is utterly ridiculous." Vegeta's icy voice drifted from behind Qiu Yi. Qiu Yi turned around in horror and saw Vegeta unharmed, arms crossed, eyes full of contempt: "Fool, with increased fighting power, speed naturally skyrockets. Your ugly behavior makes me want to vomit."
Qiu Yi was so frightened that he collapsed, scrambling backward and yelling at the top of his lungs, "Vegeta, I was wrong, please let me go!" Vegeta didn't move, watching him coldly. Qiu Yi hurriedly got up, turned to run away, and tripped over a stone in his haste. Ignoring the pain, he lay on the ground and peeked out. Seeing that Vegeta didn't move, he quickly gathered his energy and flew into the air, escaping into the sky.
"Trying to run? Dream on!" Vegeta sneered, his figure flashing into the air, instantly blocking Qiu Yi's path. Qiu Yi was terrified and had no time to react when Vegeta's right fist, carrying immense force, slammed into his abdomen. "Crack!" The armor shattered, and Qiu Yi flew into the sky like a broken kite.
Vegeta landed slowly, looked at the disheveled Qiu Yi in the air, extended two fingers, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Explode!"
With a loud bang, Qiu Yi turned into a blood mist in mid-air.
……
In the distance, Dodoria stared intently at the power level detector, his palms sweating and his voice trembling: "Frieza, it seems Vegeta's power level has indeed skyrocketed to 100. Qu Yi... is dead."
Frieza's eyes snapped open, revealing a chilling glint. After a moment of silence, he slowly rose, his entire body radiating an aura of coldness. He said, word by word, "Hmph, even if it's true, it doesn't matter. Alright, let's hurry and find that fifth Dragon Ball!"
The smoke of battle had not yet cleared when the deathly silence of the battlefield was broken by a flurry of footsteps. A warrior clad in the iconic armor of Frieza's army, looking slightly disheveled, jogged towards Frieza. Upon reaching him, he knelt on one knee, not daring to raise his head, his voice trembling with urgency: "Lord Frieza, the detectors show that there are more than a dozen Namekians showing signs of life over there."
Frieza, who had been sitting still, stirred slightly, a barely perceptible glint of excitement flashing across his cold, frosty face. He tilted his head back slightly, his purple vertical pupils revealing greed and anticipation: "Oh?" After a brief pause, he murmured softly, "Hopefully, they can find the fifth Dragon Ball there." With that, Frieza slowly rose from his chair, his scarlet cloak billowing in the wind behind him, like a churning sea of blood.
"Go!" Frieza commanded, his voice not loud, yet it resounded like a booming bell. He was the first to leap into the air, transforming into a streak of light and soaring into the sky. Seeing this, Sabo, Dodoria, and their subordinates dared not delay in the slightest, all activating their inner energy and following closely behind. In an instant, several beams of light pierced the sky, flying rapidly towards the Namekians' location, leaving only the boulders on the ground, shattered by the energy impact, as witnesses to their departure.
……
Vegeta stood proudly atop the mountain, the howling wind whipping his long black hair and fluttering his clothes. Having just ended a life-or-death battle with Qiu Yi, his face was cold and stern, his eyes fixed on the distant smoke of battle, his arms crossed, his mind racing with calculations.
Vegeta's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he thought to himself, "Hmph, I can hear Frieza and the others talking through the power level detector. Those idiots, if I sneak up now and catch them off guard, taking down Zarbon and Dodoria will be a piece of cake. But, that Frieza..." At this thought, his eyes narrowed, and he clenched his fists. "That guy's strength is unfathomable. Now is not the right time for a direct confrontation."
After a moment of contemplation, a resolute glint flashed in Vegeta's eyes: "From what they say, all seven Dragon Balls must be collected to grant a wish. Fine! I'll set my sights on one first, and once they've gone through all that trouble to find the other six, I'll seize them all in one fell swoop. With the Dragon Balls, I can make my wish for immortality. Then, what will Frieza be to fear? Defeating him and dominating the universe will no longer be just a dream!" Thinking this, Vegeta radiated a powerful fighting spirit, as if he could already see himself standing atop the universe, with Frieza groveling at his feet.
……
Gohan, Krillin, Shangyun, and Bulma are hurrying through the jagged rocks, trying to avoid Frieza's army.
Krillin turned around and urged anxiously, "Bulma, hurry up! We need to find a safe haven quickly, or we'll be in big trouble if Vegeta and the others find out!"
Then, Bulma, hands on her knees, panting heavily, lay sprawled on the mountainside, full of resentment: "Couldn't you guys have flown me for a bit? You had to make me climb step by step; these legs of mine don't even feel like my own anymore!"
Son Gohan patiently explained, "No, Aunt Bulma. Vegeta and the others have power level detectors that can accurately detect our ki. Flying will consume more ki and make us easier to spot."
Upon hearing this, Bulma deflated and lay flat on the ground, too exhausted to move an inch.
Shang Yun looked up and saw a deep, dark cave in the distance. His eyes lit up, and he quickly called out to Bulma, "Bulma, get up! That cave over there looks like a safe haven, it's not far!"
Upon hearing this, Bulma forced herself to stand up. Seeing the cave, she was relieved that she wouldn't have to travel such a long distance, but she muttered, "Ugh, how long am I going to be stuck in this lousy cave..."
The group roused themselves and made their way towards the cave. Just as they reached the entrance, Son Gohan's expression hardened. He grabbed Shang Yun and whispered, "Godfather, look over there, isn't there some kind of energy?"
Shang Yun paused, his expression turning solemn. He instantly suppressed his aura, quietly turned around, and peered intently in the designated direction. Klin, standing beside him, also quickly held his breath to sense the danger.
After a moment, Krillin looked doubtful and said softly, "That's right, but this ki is different from Vegeta's. Could it be Namekian's?"
Before he could finish speaking, Shang Yun's expression changed drastically. He turned to look behind him and hissed, "Not good! Hide quickly! Another aura is rapidly approaching from over there!" In an instant, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats again. They hurriedly slipped into the shadows of the cave and nervously stared at the cave entrance.
