Chapter 17 - I'm Here

Sun Wufan pressed his advantage, unleashing a furious assault on Android 17, who couldn't control his body. At that moment, Android 17's body was like a sandbag, constantly absorbing Sun Wufan's immense power!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sun Wufan transformed into a power-outputting madman, continuously unleashing all of his strength. Every punch and kick landed on Android 17, each attack brimming with his rage and hatred towards the androids. With every blow, he seemed to be avenging the people killed by the androids.

In just a few minutes, Sun Wufan had thrown tens of thousands of punches. Finally, with a loud shout, he clasped his hands together and slammed them down hard on Android 17. The latter's body transformed into a meteor, crashing down towards the ground with immense force!

Boom! Android 17 slammed into the ground, creating a massive crater and embedding himself firmly within it.

"Damn... Damn you, Sun Wufan!"

Android 17 pulled himself out of the ground. He was in a wretched state, his body battered and bruised, and blood trickled from the corners of his mouth. He looked up at Sun Wufan, only to see a ball of blue Kiai Wave hurtling towards him!

"Die, Android!"

With a roar from Sun Wufan, the Kiai Wave he fired with one hand instantly engulfed Android 17, who hadn't reacted yet. A giant mushroom cloud rose into the sky with a violent explosion.

Sun Wufan slowly flew down from the sky, looking at the vanished Android 17. He was panting heavily, a smile appearing on his face.

"Dad... Uncle Piccolo, I did it! I finally destroyed the Android!"

However, there was still another Android. Sun Wufan looked up at the place where energy was exploding, where Trunks and Ling An were battling Android 18. At that moment, his gaze became resolute, and with a leap, he soared into the sky!

On the other side.

Facing the combined attack of Trunks and Ling An, Android 18 was still handling them with ease. Unaware that her companion had already been killed by Sun Wufan, she was furious and wanted to eliminate Ling An and Trunks. But with their combined efforts, she couldn't defeat them quickly.

However, she believed that with the passage of time, the scales of victory would tilt in her favor. After all, she possessed infinite energy. No matter how strong Trunks and the others were, she would slowly wear them down.

Moreover, the gap in their strength was still large. They had to exert all their energy and focus to deal with her attacks. In this situation, she didn't need to worry about not being able to defeat them.

And that was the truth. Ling An was doing alright, but Trunks was in a bad state. He was already exhausted from dealing with Android 18 earlier. Coupled with his lack of real combat experience, every dodge of Android 18's attacks had been a near thing, which further drained his stamina.

Several times, if it weren't for Ling An's support or reminders, he might have been killed by the Android. This kind of high-intensity battle was too much for him at the moment. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, gradually blurring his vision.

Finally, he couldn't keep up with Android 18's rhythm. A single punch landed on his stomach, sending him flying several meters away. If Ling An hadn't attacked Android 18 in time, she would have definitely taken the opportunity to finish him off!

But now, he was also rendered combat ineffective by Android 18's punch. Seeing him clutching his stomach and lying on the ground, his golden hair had disappeared. Android 18 snorted coldly, "I'll deal with that woman first, then come back and take care of you, you little brat!"

For Android 18, she actually hated Ling An more. Even though Ling An was only fighting her for the first time, in her eyes, no one dared to look down on her like Ling An did. Those who had, she had already eliminated. Now, she would deal with Ling An in the same way she had eliminated other overconfident people in the past.

Faced with Android 18's attack, Ling An didn't hesitate and turned to run. Her strength was weak here. Trunks had lost his combat ability, and it wouldn't be easy for her to deal with Android 18 alone. However, how could she possibly outrun Android 18?

In a short while, Android 18 had already caught up. Looking at the panicked Ling An, Android 18 revealed a ferocious smile, "Run, why aren't you running anymore?"

"..."

"If you don't chase me, I'll run." Ling An took a deep breath, adopting a battle stance against Android 18. There was no other option; she had to fight. In her heart, she resolved that if she ever encountered such a situation again, she'd hide.

Of course, that was a problem for another time. The urgent matter now was to survive Android 18's attacks! She wondered why Sun Wufan hadn't dealt with Android 17 yet. But while she was thinking, Android 18 had already closed the distance!

In an instant, before Ling An could react, Android 18 had already thrown a fist packed with terrifying power. Unable to react, Ling An could only cross her arms to brace for the attack!

A terrifying force erupted, and intense pain shot through her arms. Ling An swore that this was the most pain she had ever felt in her two lifetimes. The pain even brought tears to her eyes immediately.

At that moment, Ling An suddenly realized that all her fantasies about combat before her transmigration were laughable and naive. Any battle would inevitably involve facing the attacks of powerful opponents, which meant pain. She was never a warrior, hadn't even participated in a street brawl. This was the first battle she had fought in her twenty-something years, and her opponent was such a terrifying enemy!

Forget about the thrill of revenge, forget about the fighting and killing. Ling An felt that for someone like her, and people like her, such things were only beautiful in thought. But when it actually happened, she would genuinely cry. Not even considering life and death, the sheer intensity of the pain was beyond what an ordinary person could bear!

At that moment, Ling An thought of Sun Wufan. She truly didn't know what Sun Wufan relied on to persevere. Every battle was against such terrifying opponents as the Androids, every battle was a walk on the edge of life and death. He lost his arm because of battle, and even... his life. Yet, even so, Sun Wufan never gave up, and continued to fight the Androids.

If before, she merely thought that Sun Wufan in this world was impressive, different from the Gohan in the main timeline, then at this moment, she truly understood why Sun Wufan was called a real warrior!

Thinking of this, Ling An felt a moment of clarity. She quickly activated her healing skill to restore her excruciatingly painful arm. Although the pain vanished, her tear ducts still couldn't help but release tears. However, Ling An had no time to dwell on this. For her, getting injured was one thing; not dying at Android 18's hands was the most important.

So, facing Android 18's attacks, even though she felt immense pressure, even though she knew her strength was lacking, she fought back with all her might. She struggled to dodge Android 18's attacks and then looked for opportunities to counterattack a few times.

But that was all she could manage.

Android 18's power was far superior to hers, and this time Android 18 wasn't playing cat and mouse. Her goal was clear: to send the contemptuous Ling An to the Otherworld!

Therefore, every punch and kick she delivered carried her full power.

Fortunately, Ling An had advanced to the Hundred Million Level combat power a few days ago, so she could barely cope with Android 18. If she were still in the Ten Million Level, she would likely die at a single touch. Even so, her situation was precarious.

The most critical thing was that her stamina was rapidly depleting!

She continuously used her healing skill to treat the areas attacked by Android 18. Because of this healing, she hadn't lost her combat effectiveness, but also because of this skill, her stamina consumption was even greater.

The healing skill, if used only once or twice, wouldn't be a big deal. But using it dozens of times, even dozens of times non-stop, put a huge strain on her stamina. Not to mention, she also had to constantly deal with Android 18's attacks. It could be said that, at this moment, she was already running on fumes!

She wouldn't be like Trunks, who was knocked out by a single attack from the Androids. But the difference in combat power was there, and she couldn't resist for long.

As time passed, she became more and more overwhelmed. Wounds appeared all over her body. This was because her stamina couldn't support the use of the healing skill completely. She could only make herself not hurt so much, but she couldn't completely heal her injuries!

Damn, am I really going to die like this? If I could just last two more days, then I could have a special critical hit. Maybe I could get something good. However... it seems I won't make it to that day.

As Android 18 kicked her dozens of meters away and followed up with a Kiai Wave, Ling An suddenly felt like she was finished. She struggled to resist, but her severely depleted stamina made it impossible for her to hold on for long. With the terrifying power of the Kiai Wave pressing down on her, Ling An suddenly felt very tired, like she wanted to give up.

She suddenly felt like she might be the unluckiest transmigrator ever. She had been struggling for so long, but in the end, she didn't get a good outcome. Even though her combat power had reached the Hundred Million Level, and she would get stronger, it seemed she wouldn't have time to see a bigger world or more powerful fighters...

Speaking of which, will I go to the Dragon Ball Otherworld if I die as an outsider? If I do, there's still a chance of revival. But if not, wouldn't I be completely gone?

That... is a real pity!

Just as Ling An's consciousness began to fade, she suddenly felt a broad hand grip her shoulder. Then, Sun Wufan's voice reached her: "Ling An, don't give up!"

Sun Wufan's words jolted her back to awareness. At the same time, powerful energy surged from Sun Wufan's body, flowing into her hand and colliding with Android 18's Kiai Wave!

"Wufan!"

Ling An looked up in surprise, and the first thing she saw was Sun Wufan's determined smile. Hearing her, Sun Wufan lowered his head and smiled at her.

"I'm here."
