KOF: Rise of the King of Fighters

At this moment, Yan Yue's hands, which were tightly gripping the brick, trembled slightly. He stared intently at Rugal, his heart filled with endless killing intent and determination.

Although the brick strike just now seemed casual, Yan Yue had actually carefully controlled it, fearing that she might accidentally injure the fallen Kusanagi Kyo.

Rugal glared fiercely at Yan Yue, his eyes filled with confusion and shock. He had never seen Yan Yue like this before, and a strange sense of dread welled up within him.

Rugal's voice carried a hint of shock: "How come you also possess the aura of an emperor?"

Yan Yue's eyes were cold and indifferent, like ice. He slowly said, "I don't know."

Having said that, he charged straight at Rugal. Golden light enveloped the brick, carrying the power of Nen and fire.

"I am the strongest!" Rugal roared.

"Ah—" Rugal's eyes widened in fury, and his power erupted like a volcano. The powerful force in his hands transformed into streaks of ferocious crimson light, rushing towards Yan Yue.

Super Special Move: Giant Crushing Strike!

The power of the giant serpent crashed down like a towering mountain, carrying endless oppression and an aura of destruction, distorting the surrounding air.

Max Super Special Move: [Nen Brick]!

At this moment, Yan Yue was like a golden lightning bolt, rushing towards Rugal with lightning speed.

With a deafening roar, like a thunderclap echoing through the heavens and earth, two terrifying forces collided violently in the air, unleashing dazzling light and a powerful shockwave.

Yan Yue was once again sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. Blood gushed from his mouth and chest, staining the ground beneath him. His face was pale and he was in great pain.

Rugal was also in bad shape, but he ultimately couldn't completely block Yan Yue's strongest attack. His left hand was instantly and completely fractured, and blood gushed out from the fracture, staining his entire arm crimson, making it look particularly gruesome.

He too fell to the ground, his massive body crashing down and kicking up a cloud of dust. Blood flowed down his body, staining the ground crimson.

However, he did not lose consciousness and was still able to move. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if he was preparing to make a final struggle.

……

Haderen had already rejoined the others. After handing Kusanagi Shizuru over to Takuma Sakazaki and the others, he immediately set off with them for Rugal's hall. Along the way, they defeated many soldiers.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, Haderen and the others became increasingly anxious.

"The sound is coming from ahead, quick!"

Everyone ran towards the source of the loud noise.

……

At this moment, a resolute look gradually appeared on Kyo Kusanagi's face, which was covered in dust and blood. He slowly used his hands to support himself on the ground and stood up little by little, half-squatting.

Kyo Kusanagi began to mutter under his breath, his sarcastic tone aimed directly at Rugal opposite him.

"Without the support of NESTS' clothing, your strength must have decreased considerably..."

Although Yan Yue was now unable to move, and his golden flames had extinguished considerably, he struggled to stand up, summoning the last of his Nen energy. Kusanagi Kyo echoed, "Judging from this level, Orochi's power hasn't fully integrated into your body... Could it be that you're simply not worthy of that powerful Orochi power..."

Each note was like a heavy hammer, constantly striking at Rugal's fragile mental defenses.

"Hahaha...cough cough..." Kyo Kusanagi couldn't help but chuckle softly, his laughter a mixture of pain and mockery.

Rugal was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and he was covered in blood, making him look extremely wretched.

He stared blankly at Yan Yue and Kusanagi Kyo before him. His once invincible pride seemed to have been shattered at this moment. He couldn't believe he had suffered such a defeat. The anger, resentment, and fear in his heart intertwined, turning into a blazing flame that surged and rolled in his chest.

"I'm going to kill you all... Hah..." Rugal was now completely controlled by his emotions and charged madly towards Engetsu and Kyo Kusanagi.

Yan Yue, however, remained completely calm. He sat down on the ground with a slight smile on his lips, because he sensed that someone was coming.

Super Special Move: Haoh Shohoken!

Super Special Move: Energy Fountain!

"bump!"

As two powerful energies attacked Rugal, he still managed to react with superhuman speed. Rugal swiftly dodged backward, then retreated like a whirlwind, forced back several steps in that instant.

"Yan Yue! Jing!" Just at this tense moment, several figures suddenly appeared at the door.

Ryo Sakazaki's resolute face was filled with anxiety. He swayed and rushed to Kyo Kusanagi's side, where he and Terry steadily supported the already powerless Kyo Kusanagi and the equally weak Engetsu.

Chin Gentsai, Kensou, and Ralf quickly came to the gate and Benimaru's side, and together they carried them on their backs.

Heidern, like a ruthless god of war, walked up to Rugal, his cold eyes revealing endless killing intent.

Without uttering a word or hesitating for a moment, Haderen suddenly pushed off with his feet, instantly transforming into a shadow as he charged toward Rugal. His swift momentum made the air tremble.

The two instantly engaged in a fierce fight, with the sounds of fists and feet clashing constantly ringing out.

But Heidern quickly seized on Rugal's weakened state. He turned and delivered a swift chop to Rugal's abdomen.

"Ah uh——"

Ignoring Rugal's screams, Heidern immediately unleashed his strongest attack.

Super Special Move: Finishing Absorption!

Heidern's hands gripped Rugal's body tightly, and a powerful suction force emanated from them. Rugal's blood and inner strength were continuously drawn away through the wounds, his skin gradually turning pale, and his body beginning to wither.

“This battle is finally over…” Haderen said in a low voice.

"What's going on?" But quickly, a powerful evil force directly interrupted Heidern's attack. Heidern immediately reacted and pulled his arm away from Rugal.

With a muffled thud, Rugal used the power of the Great Serpent to knock Heidern back with a single punch.

As Heidern was knocked away, he used the force to roll backward and landed steadily on the ground, his vengeful eyes fixed on Rugal.

"Rugal, you've lost..."

"Yeah, hahahaha..." Rugal half-squatted on the ground, clutching his abdomen, covered in blood, breathing heavily, but still laughing maniacally.

Rugal glanced at the ground, then suddenly slammed it down. The power of the serpent instantly cracked the sturdy alloy floor.

Rugal immediately reached under the floorboards and pulled out a remote control device.

"Not good! Retreat!" Haderen, a veteran of many battles, naturally knew what it was and hurriedly shouted to the people behind him.

"I haven't truly lost yet!" Rugal remained as fierce and arrogant as he frantically pressed the remote control button.

"Boom... Boom... Bang... Bang... Bang bang..."

As the remote control button was activated, the bottom of the ship began to tremble violently, as if a raging beast was struggling desperately below, trying to break free of the steel cage that bound it.

Flames soared into the sky from all sides of the ship, the blazing fire resembling angry dragons that wantonly devoured everything around them. Thick black smoke filled the cabins and passageways, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes. Only blurry figures could be vaguely seen moving about, screaming in terror, but they were powerless to stop the impending catastrophe.

At this moment, Rugal was still laughing maniacally, his bloodshot eyes flashing with madness.

"Hahahaha... You will all perish in the belly of the fish, this is my victory!" he shouted hoarsely, his voice echoing in the raging sea of ​​fire and the violently shaking hull.

……

As the explosions echoed from the lower deck of the ship, the upper deck also shook violently, teetering on the verge of collapse.

Meanwhile, Haderen and his men carried the wounded and immediately ran towards the exit...

The Black Noah contained too many bombs, but Haderen's team had already defused some of them beforehand, which reduced the power of the explosions and increased everyone's escape time.

Tourists and others on the upper level of Black Noah are being transferred to lifeboats.

Suddenly, an explosion occurred at the bottom of the ship, producing an endless roar. Everyone was terrified by the violent shaking, and chaos ensued. The scene was extremely chaotic, causing a stampede and a massive overcrowding.

But at this moment, Haderen's squad immediately reacted, and they tacitly used force to suppress the disobedient people, punching and kicking them.

Clark stopped tolerating these people. He punched a panicked tourist, sending him flying, then picked up his men's machine gun and began firing at the area around the tourists. Sparks flew everywhere, and the surrounding tourists screamed and trembled in fear.

The other members of the team seemed to have transformed into ruthless killing machines, gripping their guns tightly and pointing them at the feet of the tourists.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat..." The deafening sound of machine guns suddenly rang out all around, like the roar of a raging beast, with flashes of fire like shooting stars.

The crowd, which had been bustling and queuing to evacuate, suddenly became much more obedient as if under a spell in the face of this sudden violence. They stared wide-eyed in terror, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

Clark stood at the front of the crowd, looking at the pale-faced, bewildered tourists before him. He knew he had to remain calm and decisive at this moment.

He immediately picked up the megaphone and shouted, "The ship won't sink yet, please evacuate safely. If anyone dares to disrupt order again..." His voice grew increasingly cold.

With that, Clark turned to his teammates and ordered, "Mark!"

Mark nodded knowingly, his movements swift and decisive, as if he were already used to such scenes. Without hesitation, he drew the pistol from his waist, its black barrel gleaming coldly in the sunlight, and aimed it at the man who had just revealed his true nature. Without the slightest hesitation, Mark decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" With a muffled gunshot, a shocking hole was blasted into the tourist's arm, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining his clothes red.

He rolled on the ground in agony, letting out piercing screams and wails that seemed to penetrate one's soul and send chills down one's spine.

Mark listened to the man's screams, his face expressionless, seemingly unaffected by his actions. He pulled a vial of tranquilizer from his pocket, strode to the man's side, and plunged it into his neck. The tranquilizer quickly took effect; the man's struggles gradually weakened, and finally, his screams ceased, and he fell unconscious.

Mark stood up and kicked the man hard in the head again, making sure he was unconscious, before turning back to the group. The whole process was clean and efficient, without a single unnecessary movement, as if he had simply completed a routine task.

"This is international waters. We can kill people without any problem." Clark's voice rang out, his words piercing and chilling.

Seeing that Mark had quickly resolved the issue, Clark continued, "Now, please transfer to the lifeboats in an orderly manner..."

The other fighters were equally stunned by the explosion at the bottom of the ship. They looked at the fighters still on the lower deck with varying expressions of worry.
