Seeing Go Hibiki pulled to safety, Charudo’s thugs standing off to the side all let out a breath at once.
Hong Kong was no longer the fighting world; a death would be hard to clean up.
And as for Sagat—compared to killing his opponent, what he clearly cared about far more was whether he was the one who killed them…
Now, witnessing this scene, the corner of his mouth merely twitched twice before he coldly turned and walked away, saying: “Lucky for you.
But today was only a lesson—either pay up, or get lost.
Next time, no one will come to save you.” Hearing this, Dan Hibiki clenched his fists in fury.
Yet he had just witnessed with his own eyes that even his own father could not defeat the man—let alone himself, who fell far short of his father.
Rage and despair wove together into blazing hatred across Dan Hibiki’s face, but in the end he only clenched his fists and murmured in a low voice: “Father…
I will absolutely avenge you…” Yang, however, paid no mind to Dan Hibiki’s thoughts—he was simply confirming whether Go Hibiki was still alive.
At that very moment, Chun-Li’s voice rang out from the side as well.
“Stop right there, Sagat—you’re under arrest!!” Hearing Chun-Li’s words, Sagat’s departing steps paused ever so slightly, and then he turned his cold gaze back over his shoulder: “…Hmm?” In response, Chun-Li merely took out her Interpol credentials and showed them to Sagat, then said: “Do I really need to say anything more?” And upon seeing the Interpol badge, Sagat’s single remaining eye narrowed slightly.
“And if I say no?” Sagat shot back.
“Then you’re welcome to try.” Chun-Li stared at Sagat without yielding an inch.
But it was right then that one of Sagat’s underlings beside him suddenly yanked open the car door and said: “Boss, why waste words with them?
Let’s just go—” Before that underling could even finish, Chun-Li simply drew her gun and fired—a permit to shoot?
What sort of nonsense was that?
Don’t go insulting the wisdom of a martial artist!
But the very instant Chun-Li squeezed the trigger, Sagat had already sensed it.
His fighting aura erupted around him, and twisting his body to dodge Chun-Li’s shot, he came lunging at her with astonishing speed.
And Chun-Li had never pinned her hopes for victory on a handgun in the first place— Though it could deal effective damage, for a powerhouse of Sagat’s caliber, at this distance, dodging the moment before the trigger was pulled—by observing the muzzle and the flow of qi—was child’s play.
Hell, even Juri Han could kick a rocket straight aside!!
Gazing at Sagat charging at her, in the instant he drew near, Chun-Li immediately swept out a leg.
Power surged, and her already shapely thigh swelled thick as a rolling log!
Yet even Chun-Li’s swift change of attack was rapidly detected by Sagat.
He lifted the shin of his right leg and blocked it with ease.
And at the same moment, his pair of thick, long, muscular arms abruptly clenched, and within Chun-Li’s grave field of vision, a merciless half-body hook came flying in.
This rapid offense-defense combination made Chun-Li’s heart sink.
Though she knew the renown of this Emperor of Muay Thai before her, and had even watched footage of his fights in advance in preparation for any conflict that might arise— still, in the moment of crossing fists with him in person, Chun-Li felt a pressure and an impact utterly impossible to feel through any video.
She barely raised her arm to block; though her defense was precise, the crushing force knocked the center of her entire body sideways, and even the struck arm swelled with a purple-black welt as the capillaries within the muscle burst.
She was still just a rookie fresh out of the gate—not yet the world’s number-one female fighter of the future.
The gap in strength between the present Chun-Li and Sagat…
was simply not on the same dimension!
“Too weak!” Sagat’s long leg swung like a giant pendulum, a swift front kick aimed precisely at Chun-Li’s chest.
Fast and straight, immense and heavy.
“Bang!” With no room or chance to divert the force, Chun-Li could only cross both arms to block—but every follow-up attack she’d planned was forcibly stifled by this tremendous power.
Just a single blow, even after defending, left Chun-Li’s chest feeling tight and both arms heavy.
And before Chun-Li could readjust, a second kick and a third came one after another.
The heavy low sweeps were like iron rods, slashing repeatedly into the outer side of Chun-Li’s thighs—fast and fierce.
With every hit, Chun-Li felt that what struck her body was not flesh and sinew, but, in the literal sense, a steel bar.
A tearing, searing pain came from her muscles, yet Chun-Li did not halt because of it.
Instead, having noticed Sagat’s fierce assault on her lower body, a trace of seriousness surfaced in the depths of her eyes.
And then, in the very instant he pressed in with another crushing strike, she suddenly exploded into action.
Her arms drew back, and dense power surged from every limb and bone of Chun-Li’s body toward her arms.
The moment two streams of power—one hard, one soft—took form, she abruptly thrust them forward—Kikōshō!!
Sensing Chun-Li’s anomaly, Sagat narrowed his eyes as well and crossed his arms to block this fighting aura bursting forth from her body.
Yet even so, this impact—as though scorched by raging flames, yet fiercer than fire itself—made Sagat feel a stab of pain.
His powerful perception let Sagat clearly feel every inch of his skin being torn apart under the erosion and scouring of this power.
But— compared to that man, your qi is still far too immature!!
Muay Thai has no fancy techniques, and needs none; every martial skill exists for the most effective, most direct strike.
Hundreds, thousands of times of forging—from striking sandbags and banana trees at the start, to later pounding away with iron bars—all of it was to make his fists ever more forceful, ever more solid.
His right fist clenched, Sagat smashed down at Chun-Li from above.
The instant his heavy iron arm fell, it gave off an air-splitting hum, and the moment his tough flesh collided with her power, violent friction erupted.
But no matter how that power battered Sagat’s body, accompanied by the vigorous fighting aura erupting from him, it only scoured his flesh slightly red, failing to deal any effective damage.
The next moment, the power gathered between Chun-Li’s hands was forcibly shattered by Sagat.
Blow this blind little policewoman away, then climb straight into the car and leave!
But it was right then that, accompanied by a ‘Vrrm-shhk—!’ sound, a black shadow flashed past Sagat’s side in the corner of his eye.
It was Yang!
After confirming that Go Hibiki was out of mortal danger, Yang had risen and kicked out.
With a roar, a motorcycle parked illegally on the street went flying with a screech, turning into a blur as it slammed into those big-handed underlings and crashed them into the off-road vehicle, smashing it to pieces—their fates unknown.
The thunderous sound rang out across the empty street.
Even at night, it drew the attention of two tourists.
And upon seeing Go Hibiki embedded in the car, drenched in blood, as well as Yang, who with a single kick had cut off Sagat’s escape route, even the slowest-witted passersby and tourists sensed something was wrong.
Yet they did not flee at the first instant— Gazing at the scene before him, Kure Karura—who had until now found this trip to Hong Kong as tasteless as chewing wax—let a flush of excitement rise to his face.
“A fight!
Someone’s fighting!!
Fengshui!
This is what the fighting world should look like—a clash between masters!
Getting to see a scene like this, dying would be worth the price of admission!” Watching the excited Kure Karura, Kure Fuusui’s face was full of awkwardness.
But Yang and the others clearly had no intention of paying them any mind, because almost everyone’s attention—even Kure Fuusui’s gaze—was, in the next moment, drawn to Yang.
They could feel it: a will to viciously humiliate!
to viciously violate!
every powerful fighter in the world was surging ever higher!!
