Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1653 Vegeta Will Not Kill Nappa

The two sides officially launched a high-speed offensive and defensive attack, with their fists and feet exploding into continuous flashes of energy, and each collision triggering a deafening sonic boom.

After several rounds of fierce fighting, Naba gradually realized that something was wrong.

His combat capability detector kept sounding alarms, and the values ​​on the display screen were jumping wildly, making it impossible to get a stable reading.

"What's going on? Has the combat capability detector malfunctioned?"

Naba couldn't help but roar, trying to retreat and reassess the situation, but Sun Wukong's relentless attacks gave him no chance to breathe.

Sun Wukong's fighting skills far exceeded Nappa's expectations.

He could not only predict Naba's every move, but also brought the use of ki to its extreme—sometimes concentrating energy into a single point to unleash astonishing power, and sometimes dispersing energy to create afterimages that were difficult to distinguish from reality.

Naba's pride in his strength appeared clumsy and inefficient in the face of such exquisite fighting art.

"Their combat strength is definitely not right."

Vegeta, who was watching the battle, narrowed his eyes and lightly tapped his arm with his finger.

Through observing actual combat, he became convinced that Kakarot's true combat strength far exceeded the four hundred units shown by the detector.

"To be able to confront Naba head-on, or even gain the upper hand, requires at least 6000 combat power."

Vegeta snorted.

These outdated detectors definitely need to be replaced, after all, they have been away from Frieza's main force for a long time, and the equipment has not been updated or maintained for a long time.

But what concerned him even more was Kakarot's astonishing growth rate—a low-level warrior had improved to this level in such a short time, which completely violated the Saiyan growth pattern.

"I never imagined that Raditz's useless brother would grow up to this level."

Vegeta muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping over Gohan, who was watching from afar.

"The Earth was not cleaned up; instead, it gave these vulnerable people the opportunity to grow."

His gaze lingered on Son Gohan for a moment before he disdainfully looked away.

Half-Saiyan?
What a ridiculous existence that tarnishes pure bloodlines.

The situation on the battlefield continued to develop in a direction unfavorable to Naba.

Although Nappa theoretically had a slight advantage in combat power, Goku's combat intelligence completely made up for this difference.

Every heavy blow from Nappa was cleverly deflected, while Sun Wukong's counterattacks always managed to find a weak point in his defense.

"Damn it!"

Naba roared and fired several energy blasts in succession, but Sun Wukong dodged them all with his exquisite movements.

The energy blasts struck the ground in the distance, creating huge craters, but they couldn't touch Sun Wukong at all.

Just as Nabain was getting impatient and distracted due to his inability to break through, Sun Wukong suddenly put his hands together at his waist, and azure energy began to rapidly condense in his palms.

"Turbocharged airflow!"

Accompanied by a familiar chant, the energy ball in Sun Wukong's hand burst forth with a light so intense it was impossible to look directly at it.

But just as Nappa was fully on guard against this move, Sun Wukong suddenly dissipated his energy and teleported to Nappa's left side like a ghost.

The feint tactic successfully disrupted Naba's judgment.

As Nappa hurriedly turned to the left to defend, Sun Wukong's true form appeared in the completely opposite direction.

At this moment, highly compressed energy was gathered on Sun Wukong's right fist. This energy, after being compressed to the extreme, emitted a white-hot light, and even the surrounding space was slightly distorted by this power.

"Turbocharged punch!"

Sun Wukong shouted, generating explosive power beyond the limit by compressing his qi in multiple stages in an instant.

Naba realized he had been tricked, but it was too late.

He barely managed to turn around to block, but Sun Wukong's punch, which had gathered all his strength, had already landed squarely on his chest.

"Boom!!!" An unprecedentedly terrifying impact erupted instantly. Naba's indestructible combat suit shattered like paper in the face of this force, and the armor on his chest turned to dust.

The combat capability detector screen embedded in his ear suddenly flashed a series of garbled characters, then exploded completely with a "crack," scattering fragments everywhere.

Naba spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward as if struck by lightning, carving a trench hundreds of meters long in the ground before barely coming to a stop.

He struggled to stand up, but fell to his knees again, clearly suffering a severe injury.

Vegeta's face finally darkened completely.

He slowly loosened his arms, which he had been holding tightly. His scarlet cloak fluttered without wind, and a terrifying, suffocating energy began to surge around him.

The powerful aura made the surrounding air heavy, like the deathly stillness before a storm.

“What a disgrace, Naba.”

Vegeta's voice was as cold as ice, each word carrying a chilling edge.

"It seems I'll have to deal with this traitor myself."

He strode forward, the ground trembling slightly beneath his feet, each step carrying immense force.

Sun Wukong sensed the astonishing aura emanating from Vegeta, and his expression became more solemn than ever before.

He assumed a fighting stance, and his body began to circulate energy at high speed.

Vegeta didn't immediately kill Nappa—the situation was different now, and he wasn't just a mindless brute who would kill without thinking.

Although Naba was defeated, he was still a useful fighting force.

The most urgent task is to deal with Kakarot, this unexpected factor.

The potential displayed by this lower-ranking warrior only fueled his fighting spirit as the Saiyan prince.

Because Goku knew Vegeta's fighting power in advance, he was extra cautious.

The enemy before them was far superior to Naba—a force of 18,000, while Naba only had 4,000; the difference was like an insurmountable chasm.

"I'm not like Nappa. I'm the Saiyan prince, Vegeta. My fighting power far surpasses Nappa's!"

Vegeta's lips curled up into a haughty smirk.

He deliberately revealed his strength, hoping to see fear and despair on the other person's face.

To his surprise, Kakarot remained calm, only his eyes showed even greater vigilance.

The next moment, he vanished from his spot, moving so fast that he almost tore the air apart.

"So fast!"

Sun Wukong found that his vision couldn't keep up at all, but fortunately he had already learned to sense the other person's aura.

At the critical moment, he barely managed to raise his hand to block—"Thump!" The two men's fists and feet collided violently, unleashing a deafening roar. The shockwave spread outwards from them, overturning large areas of the ground.

Vegeta was somewhat surprised; given his speed, Goku shouldn't have been able to react in time.

Can you see it?

Vegeta asked, but his offensive showed no signs of abating.

"I can't see it, but I can feel it."

Sun Wukong replied, his attention completely focused on sensing the flow of Vegeta's ki.

"Feel?"

Vegeta scoffed and suddenly accelerated.

"Oh!"

Goku was still able to sense the trajectory of the attack, but he couldn't withstand Vegeta's violent power and was sent flying. His body bounced on the ground like a skipping stone, smashing through several rock pillars before finally coming to a stop.
