KOF: Rise of the King of Fighters

The police's arrest plan was actually perfect, but none of them expected Yamazaki Ryuji to become so strong. They were forced to break through the encirclement by Yamazaki Ryuji, suffering heavy casualties.

At this moment, Yamazaki Ryuji went berserk and kicked Hong Fu in the upper body.

"Uh……"

With a painful groan, Hong Fu's body trembled violently, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his consciousness gradually faded.

But that's it.

"Yamazaki Ryuji!" A shout suddenly came from not far away.

Yamazaki Ryuji instinctively stopped what he was doing, quickly looked up, and stared in the direction from which the sound came.

A black-haired boy wearing sunglasses was seen running towards him; it was Yan Yue, who had just returned to Nan Town.

After arriving in South Town, Yan Yue separated from Xian La and rushed to the outskirts of the town.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yue sensed Yamazaki Ryuji's presence halfway there. So, out of caution, Yan Yue followed Yamazaki Ryuji's evil aura to see what was going on. In addition, his maniacal laughter was very recognizable, and Yan Yue quickly found Yamazaki Ryuji.

Yamazaki Ryuji withdrew his attack with some wariness, looking at Yan Yue with a mocking smile, and sneered, "Yan Yue, we do meet again!"

When Yan Yue saw Yamazaki Ryuji's foot stepping on the dying Hong Fu, she frowned.

Previously, Officer Hongfu had helped Yan Yue investigate information about Alba, and also helped Shenwu and Alba obtain boat tickets and plane tickets so that everyone could participate in the World King of Fighters Tournament.

Yan Yue was naturally grateful to Hong Fu.

During that time, Yan Yue learned that although Hong Fu often caused a lot of jokes and troubles in the process of catching criminals, he was still kind and advocated justice, and was very humane, which made him very popular among the citizens of Hong Kong.

Therefore, out of gratitude, Yan Yue decided to help Officer Hong Fu and save him.

The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships and social interactions.

"Since you haven't completely killed him yet, you can leave..."

"Oh? You want to negotiate with me? Heh heh heh heh heh..." Yamazaki Ryuji's laughter was full of mockery and madness.

Yan Yue took a deep breath, her expression unchanged.

Yan Yue wasn't afraid of Yamazaki Ryuji now, but worried about Hong Fu's safety, she decided not to intervene. She merely warned him again: "Chen Qinshan isn't around; he must have gone to get reinforcements, right? How long do you think you can hold out?"

"..." Yamazaki Ryuji stopped laughing abruptly, as if Yan Yue had hit the nail on the head.

"You've already offended both the underworld and the legitimate world in Hong Kong. Hong Kong can no longer tolerate you. If you don't stop, I'll find a way to kill you!"

As she spoke, Yan Yue's killing intent surged, and her spiritual energy leaked out, tearing through the surrounding air and creating a gust of wind pressure.

"Looks like things aren't looking good... Hehehehe..."

Ryuji Yamazaki remained fearless, arrogantly declaring, "Kid, getting involved with the yakuza means you're often not in control of your own destiny... Besides, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have a secret manual!"

As he spoke, Yamazaki Ryuji stuck out his tongue again, laughing maniacally with a twisted expression.

"Then you can give it a try... The secret manual is actually useless; it's already destroyed..."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Yamazaki Ryuji's expression immediately became somewhat complicated.

Seeing Yamazaki Ryuji's expression change, Yan Yue continued in a warning tone, "So, you choose one..."

Either kill him, and I'll fight you again. If you're confident you can beat me, then we'll have to deal with Chen Qinshan's men...

"Either you release him now and leave South Town..."

Suddenly, Yan Yue sensed a familiar presence approaching. She said to Yamazaki Ryuji with a hint of smugness, "Looks like Chen Qinshan has brought my senior brother Terry!"

"Hmph!" Yamazaki Ryuji quickly sensed Terry's presence as well. He immediately felt something was amiss.

Ryuji Yamazaki had witnessed Terry's strength firsthand. He wasn't afraid of one Flame Moon, but if another Terry with similar strength appeared, it would be truly troublesome. Escaping would become quite difficult.

"Kid, it's a deal!"

Finally, Yamazaki Ryuji gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at En Yue, and without further hesitation, stopped uttering any more trash talk. He quickly withdrew his murderous aura and kicked Hong Fu to En Yue.

Yan Yue hurriedly stepped forward to catch Officer Hong Fu, who flew over, but when she looked at Yamazaki Ryuji, he had already disappeared.

……

Soon, Terry and Chen Qinshan arrived anxiously one after the other.

"Junior brother?!" Terry was surprised to see Yan Yue suddenly reappear at the crime scene. "Where's Yamazaki Ryuji?"

Yan Yue gently laid Hong Fu down on the ground, saying, "I just happened to scare him away... otherwise he would be dead..."

Terry looked at the heavily wounded and dead police officers around him and Hong Fu, who was covered in blood, and sighed: "Well, at least we saved lives..."

Yan Yue immediately asked, "Senior brother? Why are you the one who came to save people?"

Terry glanced back at Chen Qinshan, who was still running towards him, and said, "Mr. Chen just came to ask me for help to deal with Yamazaki Ryuji. I can't just stand by and watch him die, can I?"

"Why doesn't he go up himself? Is he such a coward?" Yan Yue glanced at Chen Qinshan with some complicated feelings, as she already had a very bad impression of him.

Chen Qinshan rushed to Terry's side, his face extremely grim. "Yamazaki Ryuji... ran away again?..."

Yan Yue replied, "If we don't run now, this police officer will really die..."

Then, Chen Qinshan looked at Yan Yue with suspicion, and before he could think any further, he accused her, "Why did you let him get away? Do you know how much we paid to catch him?"

Yan Yue listened to Chen Qinshan's words with disgust. "I just happened to see Yamazaki Ryuji killing him, so I wanted to save this policeman."

"Save people? Why are you only coming now?" Chen Qinshan sneered, still relentlessly pressing on, "So many people died earlier and you didn't come? Of all times..."

“Mr. Chen, please watch your words!” Terry was also uncomfortable with Chen Qinshan’s words and gestured for him to stop.

Yan Yue was equally furious. "Dare to play moral blackmail with me? It seems Chen Qinshan is trying to shirk responsibility, isn't he?"

Yan Yue looked at Chen Qinshan provocatively and said sarcastically, "Isn't it because you ran away first without caring about the lives of so many Hong Kong police officers, and then called my senior brother over to be your shield?"

"I..." Chen Qinshan was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by Yan Yue, and he was so angry that his teeth itched.

"What? I saved this policeman's life and that's not good anymore? Do you want this officer to die too? You should be thinking about how to explain yourself when you go back to Hong Kong."

Yan Yue's words were all reasonable and poignant.

Although Chen Qinshan was in the wrong and was momentarily embarrassed and angry, he also understood that he had been insulted by the young man in front of him and still wanted to refute him.

"Kid...how did you know...?"

When Yan Yue saw that Chen Qinshan still dared to refute her, her expression suddenly turned fierce, and her murderous aura surged.

[Nature Flow] Open!

Yan Yue suddenly moved, appearing in front of Chen Qinshan in the blink of an eye.

Raising one hand, it gathers a violent surge of spiritual energy.

[Emperor's Collapse Fist]! (Ultimate Battle Version)

Yan Yue was too fast, and this punch was even faster. Chen Qinshan had no time to dodge and took the slap squarely.

"Snapped!"

The sound was deafening, and the psychic energy exploded instantly on Chen Qinshan's face. He was blasted several meters away by the explosion, and his face immediately swelled up.

Terry didn't expect Yan Yue to suddenly become so irritable, and quickly grabbed Yan Yue's arm, "Junior brother, calm down, saving people is the priority."

Yan Yue nodded to Terry. But then she snorted coldly at Chen Qinshan, who was lying on the ground, crossed her arms, and stood firm, cursing fiercely with murderous intent:

"This is South Town. I dare to hit Gis, what can you, a piece of trash, do to me? Even if I wanted to kill you, who could stop me?"

"!?!" Chen Qinshan was stunned by Yan Yue's murderous aura. He shuddered and immediately covered his face.

He stared intently at Yan Yue, his heart filled with anger, yet he dared not retaliate due to fear of Yan Yue's strength.

Seeing that Chen Qinshan was still unconvinced, Yan Yue continued to berate him:

"Chen Qinshan! Don't think I don't know you! I've been putting up with you for a long time. It's one thing for you to fight in underground boxing matches, but you also opened a fake Chen-style Tai Chi martial arts school to cheat and swindle people. Did you ever think about Bajiquan back then?"

Do you know how heartbroken my grandfather was? You've completely disgraced the Bajiquan sect!

You'd better behave yourself right now, or I can clean house of the Eight Extremes Sect right now, even without Yamazaki Ryuji!

Chen Qinshan was stunned, cold sweat pouring down his face, and he stammered, "What? So you are..."

"Get out!" Suddenly, Yan Yue roared, filled with intense anger and spiritual energy, and also exuding a powerful aura.

"what!"

The roar exploded in Chen Qinshan's ears, shocking him and making him dizzy. His body, which had just stood up, was shaken back a few steps.

Yan Yue warned finally, "You have no right to speak to me. If you don't want to die, get out of here and be quiet!"

At this moment, Hong Fu, who was unconscious to the side, let out a weak groan, drawing everyone's attention. Terry knelt down to check Hong Fu's injuries.

After scolding Chen Qinshan, Yan Yue took a deep breath and then started calling an ambulance on her own.

Terry was also surprised that Yan Yue, who was usually gentle and refined, was so angry. He looked at Chen Qinshan with equal displeasure.

But for the sake of the bigger picture, Terry tried to smooth things over, coldly saying, "Mr. Chen, let's save people first..."

"So he was Yan Yue..." Chen Qinshan's face turned pale and he stopped talking. He was really scared and recalled how his master Tang Fulu was really angry back then.

……

In the days that followed, the area on the outskirts of South Town remained in chaos.

Since the secret manual had been completely destroyed, Yan Yue no longer intended to concern herself with the gang fights. In the end, the rumors about the secret manual were Mephisto's doing.

Fortunately, the gang led by Sanctions Dark Alley skillfully resolved the conflict over the secret manual in the past few days, and things calmed down a bit.

As a result, the reputation of the sanctioned back alleys was somewhat restored.

This made Yan Yue admire Fate Meera, the leader of the Sanctions Dark Alley, because in a chaotic place like South Town, it was rare to find a gang that consistently put the greater good first.

Mephisto returned to the shadows, while Lianxin disappeared after receiving the information from Yan Yue.

Since Yamazaki Ryuji had completely escaped, Chen Qinshan was too ashamed to stay in Nanzhen any longer, so he returned to Hong Kong with the other police officers.

Ultimately, the whereabouts of the secret manual became an unsolved mystery in Nanzhen.

Nanzhen finally returned to a semblance of peace.

……

A week later, the three members of the Extreme Flow group returned to South Town. Everyone was overjoyed to learn that Robert had returned safely.

When Ryo Sakazaki and Yuri Sakazaki found Robert, Robert had already resolved the family matters on his own.

The process seemed rather complicated, and Robert didn't say anything explicitly.

All I know is that the research and development project for the elixir of immortality is a scam.

"...That's about it. Although I don't know what Robert went through to suddenly learn the [Dragon Tiger Dance], his situation ended without any major incident."

Ryo Sakazaki was sitting in the Kyokugenryu Dojo when he spoke to Terry and Engetsu.

"This sounds like it didn't say anything at all, it's completely unclear..." Terry shook his head and complained.

Yan Yue nodded: "It's good that Robert is alright, nothing else matters."

"Haha...that's true..."

After hearing Engetsu's account of the secret scroll, Ryoya Sakazaki sighed, "The immortality power of the secret scroll is also a hoax. What a coincidence..."

Yan Yue retorted, "South Town... it's nothing unusual..."

Terry asked, "So where are Lily and Robert now? We haven't seen them at the dojo all day?"

Ryo Sakazaki shrugged. "Robert's probably out having fun with Yuri somewhere..."

……

At night, Yan Yue and Xian La secretly meet on the outskirts of Nan Town.

Yan Yue had been waiting in the shadows for some time.

Soon, Yan Yue sensed that Xianla's aura was approaching her.

Yan Yue complained to Xian La, "You're 5 minutes late..."

"Sorry, someone spotted me just now, but it's been taken care of..." As she spoke, Cinra's figure gradually emerged from the shadows.

At this moment, Cinra had shed her disguise. She had short, dark brown hair, wore a dark gray military combat uniform, along with leather gloves and boots, covering herself completely.

At the same time, she had a blue whip wrapped around her hand.

Cinna's face was as if it had been meticulously sculpted, with delicate and well-proportioned features, and every line perfectly showcasing her beauty.

However, her expression remained calm and indifferent, like a machine.

"Huh?" Yan Yue stared at Xianla's appearance, momentarily stunned, and muttered softly, "It's Whip Girl..."

"Whip Girl?" Xianla's hearing was exceptionally sharp; even though Yan Yue's voice was very soft, she still heard it.

Xianla frowned slightly and replied coldly, "Yan Yue, it's quite impolite to give others nicknames so casually..."

"I'm sorry, it was my fault..." Yan Yue realized her slip of the tongue and quickly apologized.

Shouldn't it be called Weipu?

Yan Yue didn't know much about Whip either, only remembering that she seemed to be on the same team as the future star player number three.

So Yan Yue hurriedly asked, "Judging from your attire, you must have something urgent to attend to?"

Upon hearing this question, Cinla's body trembled slightly. She slowly turned her face to the side and gazed into the distance.
