"Hmph! Knew you'd try something!"
Vegeta had encountered Krillin's Kienzan once before on Earth, and it seemed he had anticipated this, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
The moment the Kienzan got close, Vegeta instantly ascended, increasing his altitude.
Nail, with his back to the Kienzan, couldn't see Krillin's attack at all.
Seeing the Kienzan about to hit Nail, Vegeta revealed a wicked grin.
"Hmph~ You tried to steal a chicken, and now you've lost the rice!"
Krillin, however, smiled slightly.
"That's exactly what I wanted!"
Krillin waved his hand upwards, and the Kienzan immediately changed direction, accelerating towards Vegeta.
"What?!"
Vegeta was shocked and immediately accelerated again, sharply raising his position. At the same time, he had already gathered a Ki Blast in his hand and flung it towards Krillin!
"Die!"
Krillin didn't expect Vegeta to be so agile. He managed to evade the suddenly redirected and accelerating Kienzan and even had the energy to retaliate.
Vegeta's attack was too fast. Krillin's skills were not on the same level, making it impossible for him to dodge.
Watching the Ki Blast fly toward him, Krillin couldn't defend against it!
At this crucial moment, Gohan immediately stepped forward, blocking in front of Krillin.
Boom!
The Ki Blast was blocked by Gohan, exploding in a cloud of smoke that engulfed Gohan, Krillin, and Dende.
Fortunately, Gohan's strength was enough to withstand Vegeta's attack, and although the three were enveloped by the shockwave, no one was injured.
Dende had already figured out his plan. If he wanted to succeed, he had to use the Namek Dragon Balls.
And the only chance to use the Dragon Balls was when Frieza discovered that the Dragon Balls couldn't grant his wish and came looking for the Grand Elder.
At that time, it was Nail who held Frieza back, giving everyone enough time to make their wish!
He had to make sure Nail preserved his strength!
Thinking this, Dende, without a sound, took advantage of the chaos and extended a finger, sending a Ki Blast whistling towards Vegeta.
Pfft!
A Ki Blast flew over at high speed, and Vegeta didn't even react before it pierced his body.
"What?"
Everyone present was shocked, craning their necks to look in the direction the Ki Blast came from.
Dende also looked behind him in surprise, as if the Ki Blast had come from behind him.
"Who's there?"
Nail became alert. He was most concerned about the Grand Elder's safety. After the mysterious Ki Blast appeared, Nail immediately turned back and came to the Grand Elder's house.
"Are you all okay?"
Nail anxiously scanned the crowd, relieved to see that no one was hurt.
Krillin thought it was Gohan who had attacked, but seeing Gohan also looking around in surprise, he realized someone else must have done it.
Nail was also looking around. He could clearly feel that the person who had just attacked was far stronger than himself.
It seems this mysterious person is helping us!
Thinking that the Ki Blast had targeted Vegeta, Nail finally relaxed.
His mission was to protect the Grand Elder. As long as the Grand Elder was safe, he could rest easy!
Krillin, on the other hand, was covered in a cold sweat, looking around everywhere.
Thinking that the powerful Vegeta had been seriously wounded by this mysterious person's attack, Krillin was terrified.
Goku hadn't arrived on Namek yet, so this powerful, mysterious person wasn't someone he knew!
Gohan was the only one who looked at Dende with some confusion; he'd seemed to feel Dende's ki explode just a moment ago.
It must have been a hallucination!
Gohan shook his head. Dende couldn't even handle Dodoria; Gohan had risked his life to save him.
Vegeta, although he'd been watching the group, hadn't seen who attacked. He only felt a powerful pain after being pierced through his body.
He clutched his chest tightly, and Vegeta struggled to fly towards Dende.
"Sa... save me!"
Crimson blood dripped constantly, and Vegeta felt dizzy; his consciousness was also gradually fading.
"Hey, Dende, don't fall for his tricks!"
Krillin thought back to when Vegeta, badly injured, was leaving Earth with his last breath. He'd asked Krillin to let him go.
If it weren't for Goku stopping him, he would definitely have killed that hateful guy!
But as soon as Vegeta got back to his spaceship, he threatened them, vowing to return to Earth to seek revenge once he recovered his strength!
Krillin was convinced that if Dende saved Vegeta, he'd turn on them in the next second.
Dende watched Vegeta approach him, his mind racing.
As long as it doesn't trigger the system's reward this time, after reviving him, his power level should reach around 100,000!
Saving someone with a power level of 100,000 was his goal. Should he save Vegeta now?
Dende weighed his options in his heart.
The probability of failure this time was still very high!
If he didn't save Vegeta, he would definitely die!
Then, when facing the Ginyu Force, there would be no one to take action!
Should I step in and deal with the Ginyu Force myself?
Dende thought. If he did, he would inevitably have to display his strength in front of Gohan and Krillin. Then, when Frieza returned, he would be the first to bear the brunt!
At that time, with his battle power of just over 200,000, he would only be a plaything in front of Frieza!
"No! Before I have absolute certainty, I can't fight Frieza!"
Dende immediately decided that in order for someone to deal with the Ginyu Force, he had to take a gamble! He had to revive Vegeta!
"He needs to survive the coming battles!"
Even though he'd made his decision, Dende was still prepared to wait, waiting until Vegeta was on his last breath!
After all, only when on the verge of death would Vegeta's combat power double, otherwise, wouldn't his efforts be in vain!
He had to make Vegeta a top contender to be his true rescue target, and also allow him to have the strength to deal with the Ginyu Force!
Seeing Dende standing still, Vegeta immediately became anxious.
"Quick, save me! Otherwise, everyone will die!"
"Frieza has already obtained the seven Dragon Balls! Only... only I can stop him! Save me quickly! Only after I become a Super Saiyan, can I stop him!"
Dende didn't move.
"I promise, once I succeed, I won't harm you!"
Dende still didn't move.
"I won't attack Namek or Earth in the future either!"
Dende still didn't move.
"If anyone invades Earth, I will definitely protect Earth!"
Dende still looked at Vegeta coldly.
"Damn it!"
Vegeta felt like he could pass out at any moment. Only relying on his powerful willpower allowed him to barely stay conscious.
However, as the bleeding intensified, Vegeta could no longer stay afloat in the air.
Landing on the ground, Vegeta supported himself with his hand and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You foolish guy, are we really going to die here together?"
Finally feeling a moment of dizziness, Vegeta's body tilted, and he fell to the ground.
