Chapter 378 The Double Attack of Illness and Enemy
The black hole in Android 19's palm completely swallowed the ki blast, and his twisted, maniacal laughter scraped against everyone's eardrums like sharp claws. Yamcha's scarred face trembled violently, his Adam's apple bobbing laboredly: "I knew it, they have mechanisms in their hands that can absorb other people's ki." Before he finished speaking, he roared at the top of his lungs towards the sky: "Goku, stop using ki blasts! Don't let them catch you, they have mechanisms in their hands that can absorb people's ki!"
Suspended on the clouds, Sun Wukong slightly bent one knee, his golden aura dimmed by three-tenths. Large beads of sweat dripped down his disheveled golden hair, landing on his violently heaving chest. Hearing the warning, he was first taken aback, then let out a cold laugh, panting: "Able to absorb other people's energy? What a joke! Hahahaha!" His laughter was filled with unbelievable anger.
Before the dust had completely settled, Krillin suddenly pointed to the sky, his eyes wide: "Look, Goku really seems to be in bad shape! Could it really be because he absorbed too much ki?"
Piccolo stared at the golden figure high in the sky, letting out a low groan: "When Goku first started the battle, they didn't absorb any of his ki."
Android 20, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly said, "Excellent! That attack just now significantly boosted Android 19's energy. In comparison, Goku's strength has decreased considerably. Now is the time to defeat Goku. Go, Android 19!"
Upon receiving the order, Number 19 suddenly bent his knees, and the ground cracked inch by inch under the impact of the shockwave, turning into a silver-gray lightning bolt that shot straight into the sky.
Number 19 transformed into a silver-gray afterimage and charged forward. Sun Wukong's pupils shrank sharply, and his golden hair was scattered as he moved rapidly to the side.
His powerful punch created a whistling sound, but number 19 dodged it with a ghostly sidestep.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips, his pale face gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Before Sun Wukong could finish his attack, a straight punch, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, came hurtling towards him.
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and twisted his waist, barely avoiding a fatal blow, and then swept his right leg out horizontally.
However, Number 19 had anticipated this, and in the instant he dodged to the side, his iron-like fist slammed heavily into Sun Wukong's abdomen.
A sharp pain shot through his body like an electric current. Sun Wukong groaned and his body flew out of control.
Before he could regain his footing, Number 19 had already lunged forward, clasping his fists like hammers and slamming them down from above.
A shockwave carrying sand and gravel shot into the sky, and Sun Wukong crashed heavily to the ground.
At the critical moment, he mustered his strength and flipped in mid-air, landing with a stagger on one knee as he gritted his bloodied teeth and uttered a muffled sound: "Damn it!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already put his hands back into the energy-gathering posture, and his body suddenly shone with blue light.
"Wukong, don't unleash your energy blast!"
Bick's hoarse roar exploded with energy.
However, the energy wave gathered between Sun Wukong's trembling hands flickered like a candle in the wind, eventually dissipating into starlight before he could release his grip.
His face turned deathly pale instantly, his left hand pressed tightly against his violently heaving chest, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Son Gohan stared at his father's hunched figure, his eyes widening suddenly.
The warning from three years ago struck him like a thunderclap, and Gohan staggered forward, shouting, "Yes, that's right!"
Bickson's cold gaze swept over instantly: "What?"
"Dad is sick!" Gohan shouted again.
Krillin's eyes widened in disbelief: "What? Goku is sick?"
Piccolo's body emanated a deep green aura, and his face beneath his bandana was as solemn as iron: "That's right, that boy from the future once said that Goku would die from a viral heart disease!"
"It's viral heart disease!" Son Gohan clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, tears welling up in his eyes.
In the sky, Number 19's figure was faintly visible behind the clouds, but the chill felt by the people on the ground was even more biting than the fierce winds high above.
Krillin's veins bulged, sweat poured from his forehead, and he roared in a voice as if tearing silk: "Gohan, don't talk nonsense! Didn't Goku already take the special medicine? How could he be sick? He's just like this because the Androids absorbed too much of his energy."
Before the words were finished, the dark red energy vortex in the sky suddenly contracted, and Number 19, carrying a fierce killing intent, swooped down like an eagle.
His sharply defined face wore a cold smile, his eyes fixed on the trembling figure not far away, the ground beneath his feet cracking slightly with each step he took.
Sun Wukong knelt on one knee, his body surrounded by chaotic energy waves, like a candle flickering in the wind.
His pale knuckles dug deep into his blood-stained combat uniform, his nails almost digging into his flesh, and his heavy breathing was accompanied by muffled groans of pain.
"How could this happen... Why is my body in so much pain..."
Sun Wukong clenched his bleeding teeth, his forehead streaks of hair stuck to his face with cold sweat, and murmured in a daze.
Just then, Krillin's figure transformed into a streak of blue light and hurtled through the air.
"Goku, these are Senzu Beans, eat them quickly!"
Klin abruptly stopped mid-air, and the energy gathered in his palm shot out the dark green bean like a bullet.
Sun Wukong's pupils contracted sharply, and he barely managed to prop up his trembling arm, his fingertips grasping the life-saving Senzu Bean at the last moment.
The hoarse "thank you" had barely left his lips when he stuffed the Senzu Bean whole into his mouth. The moment his teeth crushed the bean, a burst of emerald energy erupted down his throat.
In the distance, Android 20's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his deep, magnetic voice tinged with amusement: "So this is the legendary Senzu Bean? The Senzu Bean that can heal injuries and restore stamina..."
As the aura around Sun Wukong surged again, a faint smile appeared on his lips as he began to reassess the threat level of these Earth warriors.
Number 20 turned his gaze to Yamcha on the sidelines, looking at the other person who was unharmed and still standing tall, and pondered to himself.
Beneath Yamcha's tattered clothes, her newly formed skin shone with a healthy glow, a stark contrast to her previous near-death appearance.
Number 20 tapped his chin lightly, his interest growing stronger: "The mysterious bean that can instantly restore injuries and stamina... it's definitely not just a legend."
With his power restored, Sun Wukong roared, and golden flames shot into the sky, turning into afterimages the instant Android 19's claws touched him.
However, Number 19 reacted just as quickly, chasing after him like a ghost.
Two figures crossed paths in the clouds. Suddenly, Android 19 twisted his body and, with a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, delivered a straight punch that slammed heavily into Sun Wukong's cheek.
The violent impact caused an air explosion, sending Sun Wukong flying backward, the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth drawing a dazzling arc in the air.
Energy gathered around Number 19, and he suddenly raised his leg, kicking Sun Wukong hard in the side with a shrill sound that tore through the air.
Wukong was sent flying backward again, his golden aura shattered by the attack, and his body, along with dust and pebbles, plummeted to the ground.
