Yes, it was exactly what Might Duy had taught him.
Back when Lin Xuan took Uchiha Madara and the others to Planet Namek, Might Duy hadn't followed. He had stayed on Earth the entire time, exchanging training methods with Son Goku.
Both were highly skilled in martial arts, and their exchange proved greatly beneficial to each other. Son Goku learned the Eight Inner Gates technique, while Might Duy learned Earth's martial arts, such as the Flying Technique and the Afterimage Fist!
However, a while ago, the sacrificial vessel for Might Duy's Edo Tensei, after years of consumption, finally broke down completely. That was when Son Goku began training alone.
At this moment, Raditz stared at the combat power displayed on his scouter, his expression shifting constantly, his face filled with disbelief.
"Dammit! What kind of move was that? How could his battle power suddenly skyrocket so much?!"
Raditz was genuinely terrified by Son Goku.
Originally, without activating the Eight Inner Gates, Son Goku's strength was at most on par with his own. Even if he couldn't win, he could have escaped at any time. He had even planned to flee and then start slaughtering people on Earth to threaten Kakarot into cooperating with him, while also getting the other to find a way to repair his spaceship.
But he never expected that facing the current Son Goku, he stood no chance in a fight. Escaping now seemed extremely difficult too!
Moreover, from Son Goku's words, it seemed there were people on this planet even stronger than him?!
Although Raditz hadn't detected any other powerful auras on this planet with his scouter, he still felt deeply uneasy.
"Could it be that even the scouter can't detect them?" A jolt of fear shot through Raditz's heart.
At this moment, a sliver of genuine fear arose within him, along with the desire to retreat.
But his spaceship was damaged. He had no way to escape this planet!
"Raditz, surrender. You are no match for me," Son Goku said solemnly.
In truth, his own mind was in turmoil.
He had suddenly learned he might be an alien, and the person before him might be his own blood brother.
Although Son Goku couldn't accept it yet, the tail on the other's waist forced him to entertain certain suspicions.
Was he really an alien?
Regardless, he had to subdue the other first. He couldn't let him hurt anyone else!
"Surrender? Hah, you want a Saiyan to surrender to you?" Raditz sneered coldly.
A cold glint flashed in Raditz's eyes as he thought to himself, "First, shake them off. Then find a place to hide and wait for Vegeta and the others to come support me!"
With that plan, he suddenly charged towards Piccolo, who wasn't far away. Power rapidly coalesced in his hands as he fired two energy blasts from his palms.
"Before I leave, I'll kill this guy first!"
Seeing Raditz attack him, Piccolo showed no panic. Instead, he couldn't help but sneer.
"What gave you the illusion that my strength is inferior to that guy Son Goku?" Piccolo snorted coldly. Energy surged in his hand as he swatted Raditz's attack skyward with a single motion.
Simultaneously, the two fingers of his other hand, which had been pressed against his forehead, now pointed directly at Raditz, erupting with a dazzling light.
"Special Beam Cannon!"
Instantly, a blinding beam of light erupted from Piccolo's hand, shooting forth like a piercing lance.
"Boom!"
The beam struck Raditz squarely in the chest, shattered his armor, and pierced straight through his torso.
"How... is this possible? Damn it!"
Raditz stared in disbelief at the fist-sized, bloody hole in his chest. It had pierced clean through his body, completely obliterating his heart.
Even as a Saiyan, with such a grievous wound, his life could not possibly be preserved!
"Thud!"
Filled with utter resentment, Raditz finally collapsed to the ground, soon ceasing to breathe entirely...
Witnessing this scene, Son Goku also quietly let out a sigh of relief.
He had been worried that if Raditz chose to flee, he might not have been able to stop him, as the Eight Inner Gates couldn't be maintained indefinitely.
Had that happened, the lives of everyone on Earth would have been at the mercy of Raditz's threats.
As for Piccolo killing Raditz, Son Goku didn't feel much about it.
Even if this person might truly be his kin, might even be his brother, he had never known him before, and they were enemies now.
"He was indeed a powerful opponent," Son Goku remarked with a sigh. "If I hadn't opened the Eight Inner Gates, I probably wouldn't have been able to defeat him so quickly."
As for Piccolo, after killing Raditz, he glanced at the tail of the unconscious Son Gohan, whom Raditz had knocked out earlier, then looked at the tail on Raditz's corpse. A thoughtful expression crossed his face.
"So it's them... They've actually appeared again!"
Piccolo's pupils contracted sharply. Instead of approaching, he cast a wary glance in their direction, then flew away, his face full of apprehension.
In the void, Lin Xuan watched Piccolo's hurried departure and couldn't help but smile faintly.
It seemed his reputation in this world was quite formidable as well. Immediately after, he led his companions to appear before Son Goku.
"President Lin Xuan, it's you!" Son Goku exclaimed excitedly.
Lin Xuan also smiled, but instead of a greeting, he said, "Son Goku, I wonder if I could borrow this person's corpse?"
