KOF: Rise of the King of Fighters

Yan Yue activated her perception field and discovered that a small number of the gang members around her were carrying firearms, so she stopped talking nonsense.

His body was instantly enveloped in a pale blue halo.

[Mind Energy Protection] Activated!

Immediately afterward, Yan Yue directly targeted the nearest gangster, the thug who had just been yelling at her to steal her money. She stomped the ground hard, spreading her spiritual energy ripples outward.

[Spiritual Energy Vibration]!

In an instant, ripples of spiritual energy swept around, causing the gangsters to lose their footing and begin to fall over.

At this moment, Yan Yue had already locked onto several gangsters carrying firearms, and leaped up, forming hand seals.

[Nature Flow] Open!

Then, Yan Yue launched multiple attacks with her spiritual energy while soaring into the air.

[Nen Wave]!

[Nen - Tempest Kick]!

[Spherical Nen Wave]!

Several streaks of blue psychic energy flashed by, followed by a series of explosions.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, the gang members were instantly scattered in all directions.

Alba, Sovare, and the others, who were still confronting several gang leaders, were also drawn to the series of explosions. They instinctively looked towards the platform.

Lian Xin also heard the noise and looked over. She was shocked to find that Yan Yue was there and they were fighting.

The thugs who were armed were blasted by the powerful impact, their bodies covered in blood and in a gruesome state, and they collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Right after this astonishing scene unfolded, before the others could recover from their shock, Yan Yue had already landed steadily back on the ground.

His face was calm as still water, his gaze cold as ice, as he silently stared at the terrified gang members in front of him.

The gang members witnessed their comrades being swiftly and brutally killed in an instant. They were all deathly pale, trembling uncontrollably, as if all their strength had been drained away. Their gazes were completely drawn to Yan Yue, and they had no time to notice anything else.

"Ah—! Someone's been killed! Murder!..."

It is unclear who first let out such a terrified scream, the sharp and piercing sound shattering the previously calm air.

As the explosion rang out, the other onlookers snapped out of their daze and were immediately gripped by a huge panic.

"Run! Run or you'll die!"

"This is terrifying! It's a nightmare!..."

People began to scatter and flee, pushing and shoving each other, and the scene instantly became chaotic, like a pot that had exploded.

At this moment, Yan Yue, who was at the center of this chaotic vortex, appeared remarkably calm and composed.

Yan Yue gestured to Locke beside her, signaling him to leave as soon as possible. Locke was well aware of Yan Yue's skills, and he immediately understood and nodded. Then, without hesitation, he turned around and ran back the way he came.

Almost at the same moment, the gang members, who had just recovered from their shock, finally realized that they could no longer sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Then, they roared fiercely in unison and swarmed towards Yan Yue, trying to surround her.

Seeing that she had successfully drawn the attention of the surrounding gangsters, and that Locke and the other civilians had escaped the encirclement, Yan Yue decided to unleash her full power and prepare for a major operation.

Yan Yue's eyes narrowed, and then he suddenly raised his right foot, kicking the first gangster who had rushed forward with a sharp gust of wind. With a muffled thud, the gangster flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

At the same time, a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from Yan Yue's center, spreading outwards like a surging wave. The crowd, who had been poised to charge forward aggressively, were stunned by this sudden power and stood frozen in place, not daring to take another step forward.

Yan Yue thought to herself that she was usually calm and collected, and because she was a low-key person who disliked trouble and conflict, even these insignificant characters dared to provoke her.

At this moment, Yan Yue's eyes widened in anger as she stared intently at the thugs in front of her, cursing mercilessly, "I finally got a few days off and wanted to relax, but you bunch of punks dare to come and bother me! Since that's the case, none of you are leaving here today!"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Yue raised his hands, and waves of spiritual energy shot out from them one after another. A series of screams rang out, and several more people were instantly knocked to the ground, groaning in pain.

At this moment, the surrounding gang members finally realized the situation was dire; they were horrified to discover that they had seemingly kicked a hornet's nest. However, it was too late. Yan Yue was not about to let them off so easily.

Yan Yue picked up a steel rod from the ground, a rare look of ferocity appearing on his face. He said coldly, "Hand over all your money right now! Otherwise, I'll break all your arms and legs!"

……

At this critical moment, the gang leader's sharp, hawk-like eyes quickly scanned the chaotic scene on the platform. His already taut nerves instantly ignited, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart. His brows furrowed, and veins bulged on his forehead; he immediately realized that the situation was dire.

Without the slightest hesitation, the seasoned gang leader acted decisively, roaring hoarsely, "They have reinforcements! Don't let the Mela brothers get away, kill them!"

At his command, dozens of well-trained and menacing gangsters surged in from all directions like a tidal wave. Wielding sharp blades, their faces contorted in ferocity, and uttering chilling screams, they charged straight at Alba, Sovare, and the others.

At this moment, Sovare and his gang brothers behind him stared wide-eyed at the densely packed horde of enemies surging towards them, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, there are so many of these guys!"

Just as Sovare was at a loss, he suddenly heard a shout from behind: "Sovare!" He turned around sharply and saw that it was his brother.

"Brother, what should we do?" Sovare asked hurriedly.

Alba looked at the rapidly approaching assassins with a serious expression and said firmly, "Take the brothers and charge out! Go catch Raven first! I'll handle this!"

After speaking, Alba raised his hand and gently adjusted the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes revealing a chilling calmness and determination. Then, he slightly turned his body, assuming a fighting stance to meet the enemy.

Upon hearing this, Sovare didn't have time to think and immediately replied, "Okay! Be careful, brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sovare swept his leg out with a sudden gust of wind and sand, briefly disrupting the assassin's ability to move.

Then, Sovare turned and delivered a reverse kick, amplifying the wind force. A miniature tornado hurtled towards the assassins.

Ultimate move: Tornado Kick!

The tornado quickly repelled one assassin, but the other assassins used their individual abilities to break through the tornado's attack and swarmed towards Sovare.

Seeing this, Alba raised his hand and threw a punch at one of the assassins, and a powerful electric current swept over him.

Alba's punch unleashed a surge of electricity that snaked through the air like silver snakes, instantly paralyzing the assassin. But more assassins continued their relentless assault.

Alba took a deep breath, his feet suddenly pushing off the ground, creating cracks as he charged into the center of the enemy ranks in the blink of an eye. He clenched his fists and swung one hand in a fierce slash.

【Wind Fist】!

In an instant, a powerful current of air surged from him, seemingly possessing a tangible quality, transforming into countless electric blades of energy. These blades roared out, instantly knocking the assassins back several meters in their wake.

Immediately afterwards, Alba threw a punch at the loosest part of the encirclement.

Ultimate move: Thunder Fist!

His arm muscles tensed instantly, veins bulging, and power surged along his arm, converging at the tip of his fist. Before the fist even touched its target, the surrounding air was ionized, emitting a slight hissing sound.

Alba roared and slammed his fist forward. In an instant, a thick ring of lightning shot out from his fist, flashing with blinding blue light, accompanied by a deafening roar, tearing and distorting the space in its path.

The attacking assassins hurriedly dodged, but two were still struck directly by lightning. Their bodies were pierced by the powerful current, their hair stood on end, and they were in excruciating pain. They were instantly sent flying a great distance, crashing heavily to the ground and still convulsing, temporarily losing the ability to fight.

Alba slowly retracted his fist and stood quietly in place. A faint, almost imperceptible smell of burning emanated from him, and amidst the billowing smoke, his figure appeared even more cold and imposing, making people hesitant to approach him.

At the same time, the previously impenetrable encirclement was breached by his thunderous strike.

"Sovare! Now!" Alba whirled around and shouted at Sovare, who was standing not far behind him. His voice boomed like thunder, making everyone's eardrums ring.

Hearing his elder brother's shout, Sovare, who was struggling to hold off the enemy, replied without hesitation, "Understood!"

He suddenly unleashed a powerful force, coordinating with his brothers beside him, and charged towards the gap in the encirclement.

Just then, on a platform not far from the battlefield, Yan Yue was tightly gripping a steel rod that shimmered with dazzling light and was filled with Nen energy.

As he wielded it, the steel rod roared like a dragon emerging from the sea, creating a powerful and fierce gust of wind.

Yan Yue wielded the steel rod, slashing and hacking left and right. Each strike carried immense power, creating a burst of blue aura wherever it went.

All that could be heard were screams of agony as the gang members were sent flying like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily to the ground.

In an instant, the entire scene descended into chaos. Gang members were beaten and fled in disarray, their heads in their hands. Those who had not yet been affected by Yan Yue's attack were terrified by his terrifying strength and destructive power, and scattered in panic.

However, amidst the chaos, one person's gaze remained firmly fixed on Yan Yue—this person was Lian Xin. She had already quietly retreated to a distance, watching Yan Yue's every move with a solemn expression.

Seeing Yan Yue's extremely fast attack speed and exaggerated moves and techniques, Lian Xin muttered resentfully, "That pervert..."

"His strength is indeed not to be underestimated... but why is he here...?"

After a moment of silence, Lianxin shook her head helplessly, sighed softly, and muttered to herself, "But it seems that this has actually helped me quite a bit..."

After saying that, she took a deep breath and walked towards the direction where the gang leaders were.

Soon, Yan Yue decisively threw away the steel rod, discovering that the Nen effect used to test it was not ideal. Therefore, Yan Yue continued to use [Nen Wave] and [Nen Storm Kick] for wide-range attacks.

Meanwhile, the gang members at the platform were even more terrified. Their previously arrogant and domineering attitude was instantly suppressed, and they were all scared out of their wits, running wildly towards the wide road below like headless flies.

However, this sudden surge of fleeing people blocked the escape route that Sovaret had painstakingly created. Just moments before, Sovaret had fought tooth and nail, barely managing to break through the encirclement. But when he saw the surging crowd before him, he was completely stunned.

These people fled frantically, completely disregarding the collisions and trampling among themselves. Worse still, due to the extreme panic, Sovare and his companions were quickly pushed back by the chaotic crowd, unable to move an inch.

At this moment, Sovare was filled with anger and helplessness. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Why did so many people suddenly appear? How did this place become so chaotic?"

Just as Sovare was in dire straits, Albana’s calm and firm voice came from not far away: “Sovare! Don’t stop, keep pushing forward!” Hearing his elder brother’s call, Sovare’s spirits lifted and his fighting spirit was rekindled.

At the same time, Alba took a deep breath and concentrated all his strength into his right hand. In an instant, his right hand burst forth with dazzling lightning, like a new star about to explode. Then, without hesitation, Alba unleashed a powerful strike towards the most densely packed area of ​​the crowd.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder!

Super Special Move: Overlord Thunder Fist!

Alba unleashed a massive beam of electric current from his right hand, which resembled a roaring dragon, hurtling in a ring towards the crowded gang members.

Wherever it went, those poor creatures were instantly engulfed by the powerful electric shock, their fate unknown. A huge charred mark was blasted into the entire road in an instant.

"How can it be!?"

"What? Is this the power to punish those in the dark alleys?"

In that instant, the expressions on the faces of the gang leaders who had been directing their men from a short distance froze. Their eyes widened, and they stared in horror at the scene unfolding before them. The sudden attack was far too shocking and completely beyond their expectations.

At the same time, a dark figure appeared silently behind the leaders like a ghost. No one noticed when she approached; it was as if she had been hidden in the darkness all along, waiting for this perfect opportunity.

Lian Xin exuded a chilling killing intent, and the entire space seemed to become heavy because of her presence.

"The racing bet failed, and the Mela brothers weren't killed either; they're about to be eliminated!"

[Broken neck]!

Lian Xin flashed forward and made her move swiftly. Her movements were so fast that no one could see them clearly. With a few crisp "crack" sounds, in the blink of an eye, the three leaders didn't even have time to react before their heads drooped limply, and their lives were extinguished in an instant.
