Chapter 114 Qiu Yi
Chapter 114 Qiu Yi
Beneath the eerie and oppressive sky of Namek, the desolate land resembled a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Vegeta stood proudly in mid-air, one arm crossed over his chest, a hint of barely perceptible mockery on his cold face. Sensing a familiar presence, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he looked behind him and murmured softly, "That idiot Qiu Yi has finally arrived."
In an instant, a blinding and ferocious lightning bolt seemed to streak across the sky, and a figure, enveloped in billowing smoke, rushed in like a meteor. The newcomer was Qiu Yi. He was tall and muscular, his muscles like cast iron, veins bulging like angry little snakes winding across his skin, exuding a savage power. His face was cold and fierce, with sharply defined features, and deep-set eyes that gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.
To gain the upper hand and give Vegeta a shock, he adjusted his posture from a thousand meters in the air, his legs churning the air like propellers, creating a series of visible vortexes. Near the ground, he twisted his waist, his right fist raised high, enveloped in orange-red energy, and crashed to the ground like a burning meteor. In an instant, the earth shook violently, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had struck. A bottomless crater was blasted into the ground within a hundred-meter radius of him, the massive explosion sending up a cloud of dust that blotted out the sky, and sand and gravel flying in all directions like bullets.
Vegeta flashed into the air, transforming into a streak of light to escape the chaos, his purple eyes filled with disdain.
Qiu Yi stood up slowly, his feet firmly planted on the bottom of the pit, the dust around him dispersing under his powerful aura. He turned to look at Vegeta in the air, a twisted excitement on his face: "Vegeta, we've had this grudge for so long, and finally, the moment has come for us to have a fair fight! But look at you, it seems you've regressed." As he spoke, he glanced at the power level detector in his left ear, and seeing the number displayed, he laughed even more smugly: "With this little power level, you think you can fight me? Prepare to die!"
Vegeta crossed his arms and scoffed in response, "Hmph, I think it's your fighting power that's weakened. Fine, I'll show you my current strength." Qiu Yi was taken aback, his face showing confusion, "What strength?" A sly glint flashed in Vegeta's eyes, "The skill I learned from those guys on Earth—the ability to hide your fighting power." Qiu Yi was still puzzled and was about to ask again when he saw Vegeta land steadily on the ground, assume a horse stance, his muscles tense, and begin to mobilize his ki.
Instantly, a powerful aura surged wildly around him, crashing against the surroundings like raging waves. Qiu Yi looked at his combat power detector in horror, only to see the values on it skyrocketing. The rapid "beep beep beep" sounded like a death countdown... until, then, with a loud "bang," the combat power detector exploded instantly due to overload, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
……
Meanwhile, Sabo, who was closely watching the battle from afar, also encountered the same situation; the combat power detector in front of him also exploded.
Seeing this, Frieza coldly asked, "What happened?" Zarbon hurriedly bowed and replied, "Vegeta's fighting power has skyrocketed; it was showing a power level exceeding [a certain value] before the explosion."
Doria looked incredulous and exclaimed, "Twenty-two thousand? Your detector must be broken. Let me use my latest model to check." But when he looked in Vegeta and Chui's direction, he was equally shocked: "What? Is mine broken too?"
"Just how strong is Vegeta?" Sabo pressed.
Doria exclaimed in surprise, "They...they actually reached that!"
"So, in other words, this kid's combat power is already above ours..." Sabo said in surprise.
"Impossible! Vegeta's fighting power is only around 100!" Dodoria was still incredulous.
Frieza merely smiled coldly, letting out his signature "hohohoho" laugh: "What's the big deal? Vegeta is a veteran of countless battles, far superior to Qiu Yi. I think this kid must have learned some tricks on Earth. It seems Qiu Yi is doomed to lose this time, hohohoho..."
“But…but…” Sabo wanted to say something more.
"That's all? The two of you combined are more than twice as powerful as Vegeta, what are you afraid of?" Frieza chuckled. "Vegeta, you think you can get the Dragon Balls, live forever, and surpass me, the one who can control you? Hehehe..."
……
"Impossible! His combat strength was originally on par with mine..." Qiu Yi muttered to himself.
As Vegeta continued to increase his power, surrounded by purple flames, he mocked the dumbfounded Qiu Yi relentlessly: "You idiot, I've been through countless life-and-death battles over the years, always at the forefront. It's only natural that my fighting power has increased, and I've been hiding it all along. Only a fool like you can't see that." With that, his eyes sharpened, and he prepared to deliver a fatal blow to Qiu Yi. A long-awaited life-or-death duel was about to begin.
Qiu Yi's eyes were filled with panic as he watched Vegeta slowly approach. He stumbled backward, his heels clattering on the sand and raising clouds of dust. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his hands waved wildly in front of him as he screamed hoarsely, "Wait...wait a minute, Vegeta! I've suddenly thought of a great idea! How about we team up? Let me help you! Actually, I've been wanting to take down Frieza for a long time—uh, no, I've disliked that guy Frieza for ages! Why don't we rebel against him together? Think about it, with your fighting power and mine, we'd be more than capable of taking down those two lackeys, Dodoria and Zarbon!" As he spoke, his teeth chattered, and spittle flew everywhere.
Vegeta's deep purple eyes, like cold stars, burned with contemptuous rage. A cold smile played on his lips as he pressed forward relentlessly, each step feeling like a blow to Qiu Yi's heart. He snorted coldly, his breath seemingly carrying frost: "Hmph, you fickle little man. Seeing your face, so composed yet lying, makes me feel disgusted." With that, he continued forward, his killing intent growing ever stronger.
Qiu Yi's face was ashen, his eyes wide and bulging as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. He retreated in a panic, his back soaked with cold sweat. His hands continued to wave frantically in front of him, his voice trembling with sobs as he pleaded, "No, no, I'm not lying! You have to believe me! Vegeta, please believe me!"
