Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

The roaring lightning, like the howling of an angry dragon, instantly spanned nearly a thousand meters and struck Bardak's alternating arms with pinpoint accuracy.

Boom!

The highly condensed energy wave, mixed with violent lightning power, caused damage far exceeding Bardock's expectations.

Bardak's momentum was abruptly interrupted, and he was even forced to retreat rapidly by this special electric shock wave!

In order to avoid being directly blasted away by this energy wave and losing his balance and the opportunity to fight, Bardock had to unleash all the energy within his body to defend himself.

With a long, low shout, a powerful burst of energy erupted from Bardock's body, transforming into a visible, tangible flame that enveloped his entire being.

Even with the help of the ground and rocks beneath his feet to deflect the force, Badak still managed to retreat several hundred meters.

After barely managing to block the attack, Bardock slowly shook his numb arms, attempting to quickly regain sensation in his hands.

Despite expending far more energy than expected, Bardock showed no sign of backing down, his eyes blazing with intense fighting spirit.

He had already recognized the white-haired man hiding there; he was the one whose future flashbacks appeared most frequently in his mind.

It seems he also has a close relationship with his son, Kakarot...

It was precisely because of this that Bardock's hostility towards He Nian diminished considerably, but Bardock did not abandon his due caution.

Bardock could sense this person's power even from his fragmented memories.

But if the opponent is only at their current strength, then we can definitely fight them!

Just then, Gine, worried about Bardock fighting alone, carefully hid the flying machine containing Kakarot and flew to Bardock's side, ready to fight alongside him.

He Nian, watching this scene from afar, frowned slightly.

He is assessing the risks of continuing to obtain Earth's coordinates from Goku's spacecraft, and if he has to fight Bardock at the crucial moment when Frieza is about to destroy Planet Vegeta, he will choose to abandon the journey to Earth.

Although one cannot receive proper instruction in ki control while wandering the streets of the universe, it is clearly more important than one's own life.

After all, he wasn't a Saiyan obsessed with fighting.

Unfortunately, Bardock, who was facing He Nian, was a pure Saiyan.

"Gine, go back and protect Kakarot!"

Bardock raised his hand to stop Gine, who was about to step forward, his attitude firm and brooking no refusal. "I'll handle this guy."

With the help of the internal energy, Bardak regained sensation in his hands. He swung his arms, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and charged towards He Nian again.

He Nian's face fell upon seeing this, which was why encountering a Saiyan, a battle maniac, was truly troublesome, especially when there was no certainty that he could crush the opponent.

Seeing Bardock rapidly approaching, He Nian's expression also turned solemn. He shouted loudly at the charging Bardock:

"Hey, is it really okay to keep fighting like this? Aren't you afraid Frieza will destroy Planet Vegeta prematurely?!"

He Nian did not retreat immediately, because he could now sense that Bardak no longer possessed the intense hostility he had felt when they first met.

What now commands his opponent in battle is the Saiyan's deep-seated desire for combat.

In this situation, perhaps we could try talking to each other.

Bardock looked slightly surprised upon hearing this, but his forward momentum did not stop; in fact, it increased even slightly.

"Really? I already knew that."

Bardak let out a low shout, suddenly bursting with energy and accelerating. He condensed an energy ball in his right hand and threw it at He Nian, while simultaneously spinning and kicking at He Nian's head!

At this point, He Nian also became angry. He raised his hand and shattered the energy blast thrown by Bardak with a lightning-infused energy blast. He quickly ducked to avoid Bardak's kick and, while pressing forward, struck Bardak's ribs with a hand chop.

Bardock reacted quickly, using both hands to defend while simultaneously slamming his feet into the ground to create distance between himself and He Nian.

He Nian didn't linger in the fight either, and also spread out his stance.

After a simple exchange, the two stood on a boulder.

"Frieza is clearly a bigger threat than fighting me here."

"That's true, but I still really want to have a match with you."

The failed negotiations further fueled He Nian's anger.

At the same time, he also had some doubts in his mind: why did Bardock insist on fighting him?

In my memory, Bardock doesn't seem to be the kind of person who disregards the bigger picture, especially now, at this critical juncture when Frieza is about to destroy Planet Vegeta and all the Saiyans.

So, what was Bardock's real purpose?

Seeing that Bardock had already assumed a fighting stance in the distance, He Nian had no choice but to suppress his doubts and focus his attention on Bardock, whose aura was slowly increasing.

Just a few breaths later, Bardock's combat power reached the same level as He Nian's, the 12000 level!

When Saiyans use their powers, they really become unreasonable...

After silently complaining to himself, He Nian began to gather his energy.

During this period of cultivation, in addition to making significant progress in the Thunder Transformation, he also successfully took a small step forward in developing the Silver Thunder Transformation.

In the next instant, the electric light around He Nian surged and quickly condensed into a fine lightning armor, covering his body and flashing continuously.

While the intensity of the aura emanating from him was not as pronounced as that of Bardock, the danger posed by the lightning contained within it had increased to a whole new level!

Bardak felt a slight stinging sensation between his brows upon seeing this, as if he sensed a deadly threat. However, this threat did not deter him; instead, it caused an excited smile to appear on his lips.

"Watch closely!!"

Bardock roared and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant. He Nian could barely see his figure, but the rapidly changing air currents around him indicated that Bardock's attack route was to the right rear!

He Nian could sense the subtle changes in the airflow to his right rear, but he did not make any dodging or resistance movements.

Instead, he focused his energy into his right fist and slammed it fiercely into the empty space to his left front!

He Nian's punch did not miss; instead, it struck Bardak, who was also throwing a punch.

boom!

"Your combat instincts are pretty good."

"This simple application of airflow cannot interfere with my perception."

Bardak didn't care about He Nian's sarcasm; instead, the hostility in his eyes faded.

During this exchange of blows, He Nian sensed a hint of Bardak's thoughts from the aura emanating from him.

"Let's do it again!!"

Bardock gathered his energy again and unleashed his power, his combat strength stat climbing once more, now approaching level 14000.

He gathered all his strength and delivered a knee strike to He Nian's face.

He Nian pressed down with both palms to defend himself, but was still blasted into the air by the immense force.

Bardock followed closely behind, unleashing a barrage of punches at He Nian in mid-air.

He Nian did not back down. He took the initiative to attack Bardak through the gaps in his fists and palms, and continued to kick him.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides switched from ground combat to aerial combat, and the intensity of the battle rapidly increased amidst the intertwined punches and kicks!
