Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted.

However, in his furious attack, Huo Yinqiang was by no means without gaining something from the previous battle.

On the contrary, during the continuous defense, Hibiki had already noticed that Sagat's right side, or rather his right eye, always seemed to have some kind of lapse.

This stems from an old injury that Sagate suffered in a Muay Thai relegation match when he was younger.

Although he has not yet lost his sight, Sagat's right eye has become visually limited, much like a leaky monitor that cannot display full colors.

At first, Hibiki Kiyoshi thought that Sagat's own training was not up to par and he had failed to discover this weakness.

But now, having felt Sagat's overwhelming power, Hibiki is certain that Sagat himself must have already known about the flaws and oversights that even he could discover.

The reason I was able to discover them before was simply because they weren't paying any attention in the fight—

They didn't see themselves as a real opponent at all!

It doesn't even matter whether Hibiki Jou notices the weakness, because Sagat never thought that Hibiki Jou could exploit this weakness from the beginning!

In fact... Sagat's judgment was indeed correct.

Even if Hibiki discovered Sagat's carelessness, or rather, his contempt, he was still unable to exploit this weakness to launch an effective counterattack.

But now, feeling the rage accumulating within his own martial spirit—

"Drink it!!"

With a burst of power from his limbs, Huo Yinqiang launched himself into the air with a flying kick.

Sensing something was wrong, Sagat instinctively turned around, and after feeling the surging fighting spirit emanating from Hibiki, he quickly realized that something was amiss.

He wanted to dodge, but his contempt for Hibiki Kyo prevented Sagat from immediately activating the circulation of his blood and qi. When he forced it, the old injury in his right eye started to ache again.

bump!

"Ugh!!"

Although he barely managed to dodge Hibiki's sudden attack, the unexpected blow, imbued with fighting spirit, did not hit Sagat's body, but the surging fighting spirit easily shattered Sagat's right eye, which was already aching from an old injury.

Amidst the dripping blood, Sagat let out a beast-like growl.

The anger in his heart instantly devoured all reason. Sagat turned around, his thick arm almost digging into Hibiki Takeshi's abdomen.

Without the protection of bones, and unlike Yuan Chen's mercy towards Chun Li, the violent pain made Huo Yinqiang's head go blank. Before he could recover, Sagat delivered another high kick that struck him squarely in the face.

With flying teeth and tooth-cracking bone fractures, Huo Yinqiang's body was kicked hard into the parked SUV on the side of the road, his flesh and blood smashing into the car body, creating a huge dent.

He collapsed in the middle, spitting blood, his eyes glazed over, barely breathing, clearly on the verge of death.

Blinded by rage, Sagat did not stop there. Instead, feeling the blood streaming from his right eye, his hatred and anger surged within him.

With arms outstretched, the surging life energy transformed into golden currents that swirled around his arms. At the same time, he swung forward, unleashing a golden wave that roared outwards, hurtling towards Huo Yinqiang's unsuspecting remains.

Upon witnessing this scene, almost everyone's heart leaped into their throats—

Anyone with a brain would realize, to some extent, that someone is about to die when they see this.

Even in this world where martial arts flourish, injuries and deaths are two completely different situations.

Or perhaps, it is precisely because martial arts flourished, allowing civilians to freely fight and combat, that the laws of various countries impose exceptionally severe penalties for injury and death. And now, even Sagat was momentarily lost in thought.

What am I doing? Am I trying to kill him, or am I killing him out of anger?

But at that moment, a swift figure leaped out from the side with astonishing speed.

His gaze was filled with indifference. As he drew near, he exerted force with his right arm, his muscles bulging, transforming into a ruthless blade that struck the golden wave and shattered it with hatred.

However, as a price to pay, along with the impact of the golden energy, Yuan Chen's arm was instantly covered with mottled bruises of varying sizes, oozing specks of dark red congealed blood.

But Yuan Chen obviously didn't care. He didn't even need to hit the surface blood stasis, which was just floating on the skin. He just activated it slightly and then sent it out directly from the pores.

Only after seeing Huo Yinqiang behind him did Yuan Chen slowly infuse a stream of life energy into him to stabilize his life state, before turning his gaze to Huo Yindan beside him.

"Find a cushion and take good care of your father."

"Okay, okay!" Upon hearing this, Huo Yinqiang seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly ran to the side to get a cushion, while Chunli also rushed over from the side.

Volume 1: Chapter 11 - The Entrance!

Upon seeing that Huo Yinqiang had been rescued, Xia Duer's thugs all breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Kong is no longer a place for fighting; if someone dies, it's very difficult to clean up the mess.

As for Sagat, it's clear that he cares more about whether he killed the other person than whether he actually did it...

Seeing this scene, he merely twitched his lips twice before coldly turning and leaving, saying:

"You're lucky, but today is just a lesson. Either pay up or get out of here. No one will save you next time."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yindan clenched his fists in anger.

However, having already witnessed firsthand that even his own father could not defeat the opponent, he felt even more helpless against someone far inferior to his father.

Anger and despair intertwined on Huo Yindan's face, transforming into a burning hatred, but in the end, he could only clench his fists and whisper:

"Father...I will definitely take revenge..."

Yuan Chen didn't care about the Fire-Attracting Pill; he was only concerned with confirming Huo Yinqiang's life status.

At the same time, Chun-Li's voice came from the side.

"Stop! Sagat, you're under arrest!!"

Upon hearing Chun-Li's words, Sagat paused slightly in his steps, then turned his cold gaze behind him: "...Hmm?"

In response, Chunli simply showed Sagat her Interpol ID and then said, "Do I need to say anything more?"

Upon seeing the Interpol badge, Sagat's remaining eyes narrowed slightly.

“What if I say no?” Sagat asked back.

“Then you can try.” Chun-Li looked at Sagat without backing down.

But just then, Sagat's henchman suddenly pulled open the car door and said:

"Boss, why waste time talking to them? Let's just leave—"

Before the underling could finish speaking, Chun-Li drew her gun and fired—"Firing permit? What nonsense! Don't insult the wisdom of martial artists!"

But the moment Chun-Li pulled the trigger, Sagat realized what was happening. He then unleashed his fighting spirit, dodged Chun-Li's shot, and charged at her at incredible speed.

Chun-Li, however, did not rely on a pistol to determine the outcome of the battle.

Although this could cause effective damage, for a powerhouse of Sagat's caliber, at such a distance, it would be easy for him to dodge by observing the muzzle and the aura just before firing.

TM Han Zhuli can kick a rocket away!

Seeing Sagat charging towards her, Chun-Li unleashed a powerful sweeping kick the instant he was close. The force surged, making her already rounded thigh appear as thick as a rolling log!

Even with Chun-Li's swift change of tactics, Sagat quickly noticed it and easily blocked it by raising his right shin.

At the same time, his thick, long, and strong arms suddenly clenched, and under Chun-Li's serious gaze, he launched a merciless half-body hook.

This rapid offensive and defensive coordination made Chun-Li's heart sink.

Although he knew that the Muay Thai emperor in front of him was famous, and he had already watched his fight videos in advance in preparation for a possible conflict.

However, in the moment of direct combat, Chun-Li still felt a sense of oppression and impact that she could not feel at all in the videotape.

She managed to raise her arm to block, and although the defense was precise, the heavy force caused Chun-Li's center of gravity to shift, and a purplish-black lump swelled up on her arm due to the rupture of capillaries in the muscles.

She's just a rookie, not the future world's number one female fighter.

The power gap between Chun-Li and Sagat now... is simply not in the same dimension!

"Too weak!"

Sagat's long legs were like giant pendulums, delivering a swift and precise front kick to Chun-Li's chest.

It is fast and straight, with great force and weight.

"boom!"

With no room or opportunity to deflect the force, Chun-Li could only cross her arms to block, but all her next offensive moves were abruptly halted by this immense power.

Even after just one strike, Chun-Li still felt a tightness in her chest and a heaviness in her arms.

Before Chun-Li could adjust, the second and third legs followed in quick succession.

The heavy low sweeps were like iron rods, striking Chun-Li's outer thighs repeatedly, fast and fierce. With each hit, Chun-Li felt as if she was being hit not by muscles, but by a steel rod in the truest sense.

Chun-Li felt a tearing pain in her muscles, but she did not stop there. Instead, a serious look appeared in her eyes when she noticed Sagat's fierce attack on her lower body.

Then, just as he was about to deliver a follow-up blow, he suddenly sprang into action.

Pulling her arms back, a surge of powerful energy flowed from Chun-Li's limbs and bones toward her arms.

The two streams of energy, one hard and one soft, formed in an instant and then suddenly pushed forward—a Qi Gong Palm!

Noticing Chun-Li's unusual behavior, Sagat narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms to block the burst of fighting spirit.

Even so, the impact, which felt like being scorched by flames but was even more intense than flames, caused Sagat a stinging pain.

Sagat's powerful senses allowed him to clearly feel every inch of his skin being torn apart by the erosion and scouring of this energy.

但、

Compared to that man, your temper is still too immature!

Muay Thai has no, and does not require, any fancy techniques; all its fighting techniques are designed for the most effective direct strikes.

Through countless hours of training, from initially bombarding sandbags and banana trees to later pounding with iron bars, the goal was always to make one's punches more powerful and harder.

With his right fist clenched, Sagat slammed it down towards Chun-Li from above.

The heavy iron arm fell with a whooshing sound. The tough flesh and the force collided and produced intense friction. But no matter how much the force impacted Sagat's body, accompanied by the surging battle aura emanating from Sagat's body, it only washed the flesh slightly red and failed to cause any effective damage.

The next moment, the energy in Chun-Li's hands was blasted away by Sagat.

They scattered the clueless policewoman, then got into their car and drove away!

But just then, accompanied by a 'boom!' sound, Sagat caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flash past his side out of the corner of his eye.

It's Yuan Chen!

After confirming that Huo Yinqiang was out of danger, Yuan Chen got up and kicked him.

With a roar, a motorcycle illegally parked on the street was launched into the air, turning into a blur and smashing the motorcycle and its henchmen into a mangled SUV, their fates unknown.

The rumbling sound echoed through the empty street, attracting the attention of two tourists even at night.

Upon seeing the bloodied and injured Hōyū Kiyoshi embedded in the car, and the kick that blocked Sagat's retreat, even the slowest passersby and tourists realized that something was wrong.

But they did not flee immediately—

Looking at the scene before him, Wu Jialouluo, who had initially found the trip to Hong Kong uninteresting, now had a flush of excitement on his face.

"Fighting! There's a fight!! Feng Shui! This is what the fighting world should be like, a duel between masters! Even if I die, it's worth the ticket price to witness this!"

Seeing Wu Jialouluo's excitement, Wu Fengshui's face was full of embarrassment.

But Yuan Chen and the others clearly didn't care, because almost everyone's attention, including Wu Fengshui's, was drawn to Yuan Chen in the next moment.

They could sense a rising will to utterly humiliate and brutally rape all the strong in the world!

Volume 1: Chapter 12 - But this is... the way of thinking

Sagat glanced at the wrecked car and his crippled underling wedged between the two vehicles, a grim expression creeping across his face.

After that, all of Sagat's attention was drawn to Yuan Chen.

Sensing that aura, so different from that man's yet equally intense, Sagat, who had initially only felt irritated, showed a hint of bewilderment in his eyes before looking at Yuan Chen and saying:

"Are you also an Interpol agent?"

"No, but it doesn't matter."

Yuan Chen turned his gaze to Sagat. Although they hadn't officially started fighting yet, Yuan Chen could sense that Sagat was very strong, exceptionally strong...

Of all the people he has met, aside from Gen and Akuma, whom he met three years ago when he had just crawled out of the ruins, Sagat is the strongest.
