"Super Saiyan 3 state stacked with Super Kaio-ken. Sure enough, this is your final move." Talot was momentarily shocked by Raditz's willpower.
After all, the stamina consumption of Super Saiyan 3 is already terrifying. Now, with Super Kaio-ken added on top, such an enormous drain, if it were anyone else, they would probably exhaust their stamina in ten seconds at most, let alone allow them to fight.
"Don't underestimate me! I've been preparing for this day for far too long!" Raditz roared, the Super Saiyan 3 stacked with Super Kaio-ken form stabilizing.
At this moment, Raditz was cloaked in a blood-gold aura, his entire body dyed blood-red. Anyone unfamiliar would think this was a brand-new Super Saiyan transformation.
In reality, it was merely the blood energy stimulated by Super Kaio-ken altering the color of Super Saiyan 3. The transformation itself had not changed in any way.
"Then come on, let me see where your limit lies!" Talot was moved by Raditz's resolve.
Since Raditz was so determined, Talot would accompany him and fight to the very last moment.
A golden aura surged up from beneath Talot's feet, his Super Saiyan Full Power firing on all cylinders.
Crackle crackle—!!
The two auras collided in space, shooting out incomparably shocking arcs of lightning.
At this moment, the entire planet shook.
Even the starry sky beyond Earth was affected by the immense power of the two.
"Haaah!!" Raditz shouted at the top of his lungs, his hands moving rapidly as a sky-covering barrage of Energy Balls blasted toward Talot.
This kind of saturation bombardment left Talot with nowhere to dodge. He could only take it head-on.
In the next second, Talot mobilized the energy within his body, spread his hands, and formed an energy shield in front of him, blocking the bombardment of Energy Balls.
Rumble—!! Large quantities of destructive Energy Balls landed on the energy shield at the same time, triggering a terrifying explosion. Dazzling flames expanded outward, mercilessly engulfing Talot along with most of the arena.
It looked like limitless destructive power, brimming with lethal intent, but this was only the appetizer.
In a flash, Raditz charged out once again with overwhelming force.
Within the fiery glow of the explosion, the energy shield formed by Talot's condensed energy had already been seventy percent destroyed.
Suddenly, a violent gale rose in front of Talot, dispersing all the flames.
At close range, Raditz had already blitzed to Talot's front, a destruction-laden punch infused with his full power smashing out violently.
Bang!!!
Talot's invisible shield shattered instantly. Just as it was about to strike Talot, Talot raised his hand to block, deftly neutralizing the remaining force of the punch.
Feeling the impact on his palm, Talot broke into an excited smile. His fighting spirit was completely stirred by Raditz.
"It's not over yet!" Raditz shouted again, forcefully retracting his fist and launching another proactive assault, an unstoppable offensive sweeping toward Talot.
The near-mad barrage left no room to spare, forcing Talot into passive defense, numerous fist marks appearing on the surface of his body.
After unleashing dozens of consecutive powerful strikes, Raditz charged power into his right leg and kicked out with all his might.
Boom!!
Talot's body was sent flying backward more than twenty meters.
Going all out, Raditz displayed extraordinary combat capability. Judging by this momentum, he intended to suppress Talot in one go.
But was that possible? Obviously not.
The combination of Super Saiyan 3 and Super Kaio-ken could indeed push power level limits to extreme heights, but doing so placed an enormous burden on the body. Even with Raditz's astonishing willpower, at this level of offensive intensity, he couldn't hold out for long.
The moment his momentum sharply declined would be the moment Talot struck!
Raditz also knew that his time was running out. This was precisely why he kept attacking without pause.
He absolutely could not stop. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. He had to win, or at least force Talot to transform into Super Saiyan 2 or Super Saiyan 3!
In the next second, Talot seized the opening exposed during Raditz's attack and decisively made his move.
Bang!! A powerful blow struck Raditz squarely in the chest.
Raditz's brows knitted tightly as he took the heavy hit. His entire body was swept up by tremendous force, pushed backward again and again, only stopping at the edge of the arena.
"You've been attacking for so long, it's my turn now." Talot smiled faintly, his aura surging like a rainbow, rising steadily as an immense pressure bore down on Raditz.
After sensing the intensity of this aura, Raditz's expression grew even more solemn. He was already prepared to stake everything on one final gamble.
Whoosh—! A sharp sound of air being torn apart rang out.
Talot unleashed extreme speed, arriving in front of Raditz in less than 0.001 seconds and throwing a heavy punch.
Raditz instinctively raised his arms to defend, but Talot saw through it in advance. The trajectory of his fist shifted, turning into an uppercut that struck Raditz squarely on the chin.
Boom!!
After taking the powerful hit, Raditz immediately felt the world spinning. His body lost control and shot straight into the sky.
At the moment Raditz's defense faltered, Talot attacked again. This time, he showed no mercy, an assault fiercer than a hurricane swept over Raditz's body, waves of muffled thunder-like explosions echoing through space.
This dense and ferocious barrage instantly snapped Raditz back to his senses. The bone-piercing pain sent his blood and energy roiling, every bone in his body feeling as if it were about to shatter.
Fortunately, years of training had forged his body into something incredibly tough. Coupled with the dual boost of Super Saiyan 3 and Super Kaio-ken, he was barely able to withstand Talot's high-intensity assault.
Otherwise, if this had been anyone else, they would have long since been torn to pieces, barely clinging to life.
Coming back to his senses, Raditz crossed his arms to guard his vital points, forcibly enduring Talot's onslaught.
But Talot's attacks were impossible to fully defend against. Even with his front protected, numerous openings still appeared across Raditz's body.
Talot's figure moved through space like a ghost, moving freely. Every attack left Raditz unable to guard in time, placing immense pressure on him.
Seeing that fist attacks were having little effect, Talot clasped his hands together and unleashed a powerful Super Kiai Cannon.
Boom—!
Raditz felt an overwhelming force surge over his entire body, completely irresistible. His body went out of control, and by the time he finally stabilized himself, he had already been blasted a thousand meters into the air.
After steadying himself, Raditz gasped for breath in huge gulps. A trace of blood hung at the corner of his mouth, scalding white steam rising from his body. His powerful physique was covered in dense fist marks, searing pain continuously stimulating his nerves, keeping him constantly alert.
"Ptui—!!!" Raditz spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and an excited smile surfaced on his face.
Pain that could not defeat him would only make him stronger.
