KOF: Rise of the King of Fighters

Faced with Yan Yue's questioning, Lian Xin's eyes revealed a wary look. However, surprisingly, despite the extremely tense situation, she did not show much panic.

As a top assassin, Lian Xin is accustomed to living on the edge of life and death. For many years, she has been living alongside death, and possesses extraordinary abilities to deal with various dangers and emergencies.

Lianxin was seen tightly gripping the seemingly ordinary weapon case in her hand. At this moment, she would open the weapon case without hesitation at the slightest disturbance.

On the other side, Yan Yue stared intently at the mysterious woman before her. Although she didn't know her background, judging from her black leather outfit and the uniquely shaped, exquisitely crafted box in her hand, she was definitely not simple.

In an instant, Yan Yue moved. He stomped his foot on the ground, and an incredibly powerful wave of spiritual energy, like a surging ocean wave, spread wildly in all directions from Yan Yue as the center.

[Spiritual Energy Vibration]!

When the power of psychic energy swept around Lianxin, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which she had been focusing intently on dealing with everything.

But Lianxin reacted quickly. She nimbly leaped into the air and took the opportunity to open the weapon case. In that brief moment of airborne movement, Lianxin unhesitatingly reached out and opened the mysterious weapon case beside her, finding a strange set of metal bracers inside.

These wristbands are a dazzling golden color. Furthermore, each wristband features a small yet exquisitely crafted green screen, giving them a futuristic and high-tech look.

In the instant she took off, Lianxin swiftly retrieved two of the bracelets, and with her other hand, she forcefully flung the heavy weapon case towards Yan Yue.

Seeing that her [Nen Qi Shock] had missed Lian Xin, Yan Yue immediately stopped and dodged the weapon box that Lian Xin had thrown.

"Clang!" The weapon case slammed onto the ground beside him with a dull metallic clang.

At that moment, Lianxin flipped in the air and landed smoothly, with the metal wristbands already on her hands.

Soon, Lian Xin also sprang up at top speed and launched a single punch at Yan Yue.

Yan Yue dodged the fierce punch to the side, changed her footwork, quickly circled behind Lian Xin, and struck her back with an elbow strike.

As if she had eyes in the back of her head, Lian Xin slightly shifted her body to the side, and at the same time, she swung her right hand, which was wearing a wrist guard, backward. A blue-green energy blade shot out from the wrist guard and went straight for Yan Yue's face.

"There's killing intent!" Yan Yue's eyes sharpened, and she raised one hand, opening her palm to form a shield of spiritual energy in front of her.

[Mind Barrier]

The energy blade struck the shield, unleashing a dazzling burst of light.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yan Yue lunged forward, raining blows at Lian Xin with both fists. Lian Xin retreated, crossing her arms to block, the green screen on her wristband flashing incessantly, seemingly analyzing Yan Yue's attack patterns.

Suddenly, he exerted force with his feet, leaped high into the air, spun around, and kicked towards Yan Yue with his legs wrapped in mysterious air currents.

Sensing the immense pressure, Yan Yue braced herself with her hands on the ground and performed a backflip to create distance. Once they were in position, they stared at each other, the atmosphere tense to the extreme, as if another battle would erupt at any moment.

"Since you're using karate!" Yan Yue looked at Lian Xin's fighting style with some surprise. She often dealt with Kyokugenryu and was naturally very familiar with karate fighting techniques.

At this critical moment, Lian Xin, with unwavering determination and without hesitation, swiftly raised her arm high. With her movement, the wristband that had been tightly pressed against her arm instantly began to deform, as if it had come to life. In the blink of an eye, the green electronic screen visibly doubled in size.

Immediately afterward, Lianxin brought the wristband to her mouth without hesitation and shouted, "Requesting backup!"

Ultimate Weapon: [Space-Based Ray]!

Almost as soon as Lian Xin finished speaking, a dazzling green light suddenly descended from the sky. The light streaked down like lightning, its target Yan Yue on the top floor of the building. Its speed was so great that no one had time to react.

Yan Yue's heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. He instinctively sensed that danger was approaching, so Yan Yue gritted his teeth and dodged to the side.

A deafening roar erupted as the green laser slammed into the rooftop, the powerful impact causing the entire structure to tremble. Instantly, billowing smoke and dust billowed, debris flew everywhere, and chaos reigned.

Yan Yue was completely unprepared for such a sudden and fierce attack. His eyes widened in astonishment, and he exclaimed inwardly, "What?! Such a weapon actually exists!"

At the same time, he pondered with doubt: "NESTS technology? But it doesn't quite seem like it..."

Meanwhile, Lian Xin's laser cannon failed to hit Yan Yue, and a hint of surprise appeared on her beautiful face. At that moment, her mind raced, trying to think of a solution: "Damn it, the second support shot needs a little more time to recharge. Looks like I need to find a way to stall him for a while!"

Thinking of this, Lian Xin reached out without hesitation and quickly pulled out the sharp dagger that had been hidden below her chest. In a flash, she pounced on Yan Yue, the dagger in her hand gleaming coldly as she thrust it straight at her opponent.

Seeing this, Yan Yue knew she couldn't continue entangled with this woman. Judging from the current situation, she was clearly a well-trained and ruthless professional assassin, equipped with advanced weaponry. Yan Yue couldn't afford to delay any longer.

We must capture her alive and interrogate her thoroughly to find out who ordered her to carry out the assassination.

Without further hesitation, Yan Yue suddenly unleashed an extremely dazzling and intense blue aura of energy from his entire body.

[The flow of thought] — Open!

In an instant, the blue spiritual energy surged wildly within his body like a raging tide.

[Mind Energy Protection] - Activate!

In the blink of an eye, a faint blue aura shield tightly enveloped his body.

"Let me finish you off in one go!"

Yan Yue's gaze was as cold as ice as she stared intently at Lian Xin in front of her, exuding a powerful aura that chilled people to the bone.

At the same time, Yan Yue rapidly gathered a vast amount of spiritual energy in his hands. This energy flowed and condensed slowly like flowing water, eventually transforming into a trickle of energy. His body sank slightly, his legs bent slightly, assuming the unique defensive stance of the [Flowing Water Shattering Rock Fist].

Just then, Lian Xin thrust forward with a sharp dagger. Her speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, the gleaming dagger was already close to Yan Yue's neck.

However, Yan Yue was even faster. Suddenly, Yan Yue's body seemed to be set on fire, instantly turning into a blurry afterimage.

In an instant, Yan Yue's powerful hands struck Lian Xin's arm with perfect accuracy. A muffled thud followed, and an immense surge of internal energy erupted from his hands, flowing directly into Lian Xin's arm. This energy was like a surging torrent, unstoppable.

Ultimate move: [Water Flow Rock Crushing Fist - Vibration]!

This move possessed astonishing internal force, but its offensive power was weak. Instead, it directly caused Lian Xin's arm to completely lose its strength. The dagger she was holding tightly also flew out of her hand due to the immense impact, arcing through the air before falling to the ground far away.

"Ping!" The dagger made contact with the ground.

Makes a crisp sound.

"Ugh!" Lian Xin couldn't help but let out a painful cry, her face instantly turning ashen. Due to the severe injury to her arm, her body involuntarily staggered backward, her steps unsteady.

Yan Yue didn't give Lian Xin any chance to catch her breath. Taking advantage of the moment when Lian Xin was knocked back and her steps were disordered, he attacked again. In a flash, he rushed forward like a gust of wind, followed by another fierce palm strike, which mercilessly struck Lian Xin's back.

Ultimate move: [Water Flow Rock Shattering Fist - Break]!

Although this palm strike seemed weak, the powerful internal force contained within it surged into Lian Xin's body like a raging torrent.

"Oh no! Danger!"

This internal force surged wildly through her meridians, causing waves of excruciating pain wherever it passed, leaving Lianxin utterly powerless to resist. In just a moment, Lianxin felt her vision go black, her consciousness gradually blurred, and finally, her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

When Yan Yue saw Lian Xin suddenly faint on the ground, and sensed that Lian Xin's breathing had become stable, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to check on the situation.

At this moment, Lian Xin's long, wavy golden hair, cascading like a waterfall, was scattered messily on the cold ground, just enough to obscure half of her delicate face, adding to her mysterious and alluring aura. She lay there in an extremely seductive and alluring posture, as if a sleeping fairy had accidentally fallen to the mortal world.

The tight-fitting leather outfit Lianxin wore clung to her voluptuous figure like a second skin, perfectly outlining her curvaceous silhouette. Especially with the zipper at the chest open, large swathes of her snow-white skin were faintly visible, exuding a deadly allure.

This bold and sexy style of dress was undoubtedly a visually stunning feast for Yan Yue, who had just regained her sight.

Lian Xin's beautiful face, a blend of angelic and demonic allure, captivated Yan Yue. Her features were exquisitely sculpted, each perfectly proportioned, possessing both angelic purity and a seductive, devilish charm. Faced with such a face and that alluring, fiery figure, a single young man like Yan Yue found it difficult to resist her allure.

"Holy crap! What are you thinking about?!"

However, Yan Yue quickly came to his senses and shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of those strange thoughts in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yue began to seriously consider who the assassin in front of her was and how to deal with her.
