KOF: Rise of the King of Fighters

Despite the pain, Yan Yue said with difficulty to Shen Wu and Alba, "I can still move. Be careful."

After speaking, Yan Yue glanced at Kusanagi Kyo, who was lying not far away. Then, she slowly stood up from the ground.

Whether Shenwu and Alba heard Yan Yue's words or not, they were still locked in a fierce battle.

Just then, Rugal frowned slightly, a look of surprise on his face.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to still be able to move after being hit by the power of the giant serpent? I must say, you do have some guts! Hahaha..."

Rugal laughed wildly as he spoke.

Faced with Rugal's mockery, Yan Yue simply replied, "It seems you secretly tampered with the protective barriers at this tournament venue... Many of your moves just now seemed to resemble those of other fighters?"

Upon hearing this, Rugal was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Haha, I didn't expect you to only realize this now? But it doesn't matter, none of you will leave here alive today!"

Yan Yue snorted coldly and continued, "Now I finally understand completely. You first collect all the fighters' combat data for your own absorption, and then implement your so-called 'massacre plan,' right?"

"Hmph, so what if you know the truth? Look at your current state, you're practically a candle flickering in the wind..." Rugal mocked with a face full of disdain.

However, Yan Yue was not angered by the other party's sarcasm. Instead, he clenched his fists, looked firmly at Rugal, and shouted:

"Then let's have a one-on-one fight!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Yue concentrated all her attention and began to gather the spiritual energy within her body.

Driven by his will, his spiritual energy flowed rapidly along his meridians to all parts of his body.

[Circulation of Mind Energy] [Body Protection with Mind Energy] Open!

With a deep and powerful roar, Yan Yue was instantly enveloped in a faint blue light. This light acted like an indestructible shield, protecting Yan Yue completely.

"Since Rugal can see through everyone's moves, then I have no choice but to use a new technique to deal with him..."

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yue activated her third Nen skill without hesitation.

[Precise Sensing] Open!

A strange feeling welled up in Yan Yue's heart, and her senses became unusually sharp.

With this skill, Yan Yue was able to precisely lock onto Rugal's figure and every tiny movement, even clearly perceiving the distribution of his bones and the trajectory of the airflow.

Yan Yue hoped to roughly determine the weaknesses in the opponent's attack, thereby seizing the initiative and delivering a fatal blow to the enemy.

After doing all this, Yan Yue did not pause at all. He quickly crossed his hands together, forming a complex and exquisite hand seal.

[Nen Split]!

A dazzling blue light suddenly burst forth, and then a pale blue figure that looked exactly like Yan Yue slowly emerged and stood beside Yan Yue.

This clone, formed from psychic energy, possesses the same strength and skills as the original body, but can only be maintained for a dozen seconds.

All the actions were completed in the blink of an eye. Then, Yan Yue and her clone suddenly sprang up and rushed towards Rugal.

"Oh? You can even create clones?" Without further ado, Rugal unleashed a torrent of dark red serpent power, attacking Yan Yue.

Yan Yue and her clone flanked Rugal from both sides, launching the first attack. The two bodies spun in the air, their hands enveloped in flowing Nen energy, transforming into two streaks of light that rushed towards Rugal's side.

Yan Yue used it at once:

Super Special Move: Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist - Combo!

The clone then uses:

[Water Flow Rock Crushing Fist - Break]!

As Rugal watched Yan Yue's continuous dance moves approach, he became somewhat wary and leaped backward in an attempt to dodge.

But Yan Yue was incredibly fast. He used his own internal energy and the Cloud-Stepping Lightness Skill to adjust his posture in mid-air.

Taking advantage of the opportunity created by the Flame Moon, the clone instantly flashed above Rugal and attacked directly.

But Rugal merely sneered, unleashing the power of the great serpent, twisting into afterimages, dodging the clone's attack, and charging towards Yan Yue with the strongest aura of death.

Super Special Move: Death End!

Rugal seemed to transform into the Grim Reaper. His muscles bulged dramatically, veins bulged across his body like thick tree roots, and the dark red power of the serpent burned fiercely around him like tangible flames.

"You actually want to fight me with physical skills? Flame Moon, you're asking for death!" With that, Rugal also unleashed his strongest physical skill combo.

He stomped his feet hard on the ground, instantly cracking it and sending shards of stone flying. In that instant, the two figures moved like phantoms, their speed so fast that they were impossible to track, leaving only blurry afterimages.

Rugal's attack transformed into countless crimson fist shadows, sweeping towards Yan Yue like a storm.

However, Yan Yue also did her best to block all of Rugal's attacks and quickly changed her moves to counterattack Rugal at an even faster speed.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..." A series of blows echoed throughout the hall.

"Hahahaha...you're still too slow...completely useless..." Rugal laughed maniacally as he launched a full-speed attack on Yan Yue.

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big..."

In an instant, as the two engaged in a fierce exchange of blows, the surrounding air was compressed, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Each punch and kick contained power capable of destroying everything; the dark red serpent power clashed with the blue Nen power, causing space to subtly distort wherever the force of the punches passed. The metal floor also began to crack and deform.

"Drink it...!"

Yan Yue felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, and he roared desperately. However, compared to Rugal, Yan Yue's continuous martial arts techniques were beginning to show signs of weakness.

After a brief exchange, Rugal suddenly seized an opening in Yan Yue's defenses and unleashed the final move of Lian Wu.

Super Special Move: [Genocide Slash]!

Instantly, Rugal's legs transformed into blades, their immense power enough to cleave the Flame Moon in two.

"go to hell!"

Rugal's leg blade was almost within reach of Yan Yue.

!

"Humph!"

But then, Yan Yue smiled.

"The flaw has appeared!"

In that instant, Yan Yue's legs transformed into blue streaks of light, and she whirled around, aiming a kick at Rugal's Annihilation Slash.

MAX Super Special Move: Star and Moon Sweep!

A loud "boom" resounded.

Two massive, arc-shaped blades of psychic energy successfully blocked Rugal's leg-blade attack.

The force was so great that it gradually pushed Rugal back, leaving him no room to dodge and forcing him to immediately use his hands to block and take the hit.

[Darkness Barrier]!

Just as Rugal was trying to defend against the attack, Yan Yue launched a second attack.

The clone of his spiritual energy moved. It sprang into action once more, unleashing the [Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist - Break]!

"As the Nen wave glides along... if there's enough time, the clone will accelerate and instantly appear to the enemy's side for a second attack..."

In that instant, before Rugal could react, the Nen clone flashed to Rugal's side, raised its hands, which transformed into a trickle of water, and struck Rugal's shoulder with both hands.

With a surprised cry of pain, Rugal's original form was instantly disrupted.

Suddenly, his shoulders went limp, as if he had lost his support, and his once impenetrable defense collapsed in an instant.

Just then, the [Star and Moon Sweep] attack hurtled straight at him, and the powerful impact sent Rugal flying to the side like a cannonball.

However, the matter did not end there. The instant Rugal was knocked away, Yan Yue launched her pre-prepared third attack without hesitation.

"When the clone successfully hits the target, the enemy will be pushed in another direction due to the huge thrust generated by the Nen attack... At the same time, the main body will accelerate rapidly with the help of Nen flow and wait on the other side to deliver the final fatal blow to the enemy."

"In this way, the so-called 'three flowers gather at the top, triangle kill' formation can be formed."

Yan Yue knew that this battle was of utmost importance, so the moment his Qi clone launched its attack, he rushed headlong toward the pre-determined position without hesitation.

He focused intently, continuously gathering the most violent and surging Nen power within his body into his right palm. With the powerful enhancement of the [Nen Flow Circulation] skill, Yan Yue's figure streaked across the sky like lightning, arriving in front of the repelled Rugal in the blink of an eye.

Facing a formidable enemy so close at hand, Yan Yue did not back down, her eyes flashing with resolute light.

He used all his strength to release all the spiritual energy he had gathered in his palm at once.

Ultimate Super Special Move: [Nen - Shura]!

In an instant, the three streams of spiritual energy squeezed and collided with each other.

"Boom——!"

A terrifying surge of Nen energy spread wildly outwards from Yan Yue and Rugal, distorting the surrounding air and blasting apart the metal floor.

Under that terrifying, world-destroying impact, Rugal and Yan Yue's bodies were seen flying backward at an astonishing speed, like kites with broken strings being battered by a storm!

At this moment, Rugal's face was ashen, his body a bloody mess. He suddenly spat out a large amount of scarlet blood, like a blood arrow shooting straight out. Then, his body slammed heavily onto the metal ground in the distance like a cannonball, making a loud "bang" and raising a cloud of dust that filled the air, making it almost impossible to see anything.

At the same time, the powerful burst of Nen energy mercilessly blasted Yan Yue away.

A mouthful of blood gushed from her mouth. At this moment, Yan Yue had exhausted all her spiritual energy and collapsed to the ground, becoming extremely weak.

Meanwhile, Shenwu and Alba, who were locked in a fierce battle in the distance, were also startled by the sudden, massive explosion. They simultaneously stopped what they were doing and turned to look in the direction of Yan Yue, their faces filled with astonishment.
