Death Flute
The Battle at the Border
The Black Bats had managed to guide Meng Huan and Ting Ting all the way to the borders of Lok Yang City. They stopped at the border to rest. Since the day was still quite dark, the Black Bats did not feel the need to hide themselves. But he knew soon that the sun would rise, and he wondered if he should hide himself.
The anxiety of the Black Bat was felt by Ting Ting Ting.
“What's up, Black Bats?”
“After sunrise. I don't want people to see me,” said the Black Bat.
“Why?”
“My face is so ugly. People will be scared. You must be scared to see my face too.”
“No!” protest Ting Ting quickly.
“Iya! It's still dark, so you can't see me. Later when it's bright and you see my face clearly, you'll be scared.”
Ting Ting sighed. He was truly not afraid of the Black Bats. Instead he liked the man, especially since the man had helped Ouwyang Ping and all of them.
“Ping-er is not afraid to see you. Means I don't either,” Ting Ting said gently.
The Black Bat's face beamed. “Betul?”
Ting Ting nodded.
Meng Huan had been silent since then. He had not known the Black Bats and did not know why the man had gone with his company. He also did not understand how they could come to save him. Nor did they know that they had all managed to escape with Chang Fei Yu's help. Many have not been understood, therefore he is silent.
They waited long enough. While waiting, Ting Ting began to recount the incident he had experienced with Sen Khang and the others to Meng Huan. Of course he did not tell the events between himself and Fei Yu. That's too embarrassing to tell. Meng Huan frowned hearing that Fei Yu was the one helping them. He did not like Fei Yu very much.
The day passed and the sun began to rise. The longer the higher. And the Black Bats are getting restless. But he had promised to continue with Ting Ting and Meng Huan until Ouwyang Ping and his friends returned. So he kept his face down so that there was no need to show his face.
“They were so long,” grumbled Ting Ting.
“What could happen something?” meng Huan's. “Or Chang Fei Yu act again this time?”
“Chang Fei Yu? Brother Huan this how the hell? I told you that he was the one who helped us. If it wasn't for her, we wouldn't necessarily be here right now,” Ting Ting said pouting.
“Could have been he was devising a malicious plan,” remembers Meng Huan. “Remember, we don't know her yet, Ting Ting.”
“He's a good boy,” interrupted Black Bat by keeping his face down.
“How do you know?” meng Huan—yang did not know what kind of relationship between the Black Bats and Chang Fei Yu.
“I've known him for five years.”
Meng Huan did not say anything more. He felt that there was no point in commenting about Chang Fei Yu if they all believed him.
Suddenly the Black Bats rose up vigilantly. “There's a come!”
“Kak Wan?”
“Not,” Black Bat Ring. “Come from the city direction. In bulk!”
Along with those words, there appeared Cheng Sam who was accompanied by two men in foreign clothes—looked like traditional clothes from the Khitan area. A number of Cheng Sam's men accompanied them. He's very angry. He got news of escaping captivity from one of his men who immediately went to Lok Yang City so Chien Wan and his friends are known to have escaped.
“You managed to escape!” cheng Sam Bengpak. “But free. I won't let you guys off the hook again!”
Cheng Sam and his two foreign-clothed friends did not gang up. They watched the course of the battle from the ledges. Cheng Sam looked very upset and unceasingly turned his head to the road that led to Bukit Merak. His heart wondered, why were the three of them only? Where are the others?
Meng Huan and Ting Ting looked overwhelmed. They are not weak people. They have been practicing silat since childhood and their intelligence is quite good. But facing this kind of rumbling, plus since yesterday they had not eaten anything, made them rather limp. That was why, after a long while they could not retaliate against the attack. All they could do was to fend off the opponent's attacks.
The Black Bats are now overwhelmed. Besides having to cripple the opponent, he also had to protect his two friends. His movements became limited. And over time they were pressed.
“Just give it up!” jegek Cheng Sam's. “If you give up, I promise I won't kill you!”
“Don't dream!” maki Meng Huan while trying to defend herself.
“Aduh!!” Ting Ting Ting screamed as a punch hit his shoulder. The punch was actually aimed at his chest, but at the crucial moment he managed to turn away so that it only hit his shoulder. Even so, the blow was hard enough to make him slam.
“Ting Ting!” yelled Meng Huan. He tried to encourage his opponents to approach Ting Ting.
Cheng Sam was already approaching to capture the girl when a rumble echoed in the sky. How shocked Cheng Sam was when he saw the appearance of two men in silver clothes and carrying a tambour and bat in their hands.
“People of the Nada Valley!” hiss growled.
It turned out that the ones who appeared were Kam Sien and Hauw Lam. They were sent by Mr. Ouwyang Cu to catch up with Chien Wan and Ouwyang Ping to deliver a message. They were about to enter Lok Yang City when they heard the sounds of battle. As warriors, they were moved to help without. Especially when he saw a girl who was hit to fall. Just look at it, they know which one is evil.
“True!” sahut Hauw Lam perky. He faced Cheng Sam while Kam Sien rushed to help Meng Huan.
“Do not interfere in our affairs!” hardik Cheng Sam's. “They are dissidents in our area!”
For a moment Hauw Lam hesitated. He did not know the three men who were being gang-raped, but he recognized Cheng Sam and his men as members of Merak Hill. If they are indeed finishing their affairs and intend to discipline their members, he has no right to interfere.
But Ting Ting shouted, “Long, Sir! We are not members of Bukit Merak. I am Mr. Luo's daughter from the Bamboo Guesthouse. They mean to captivate us!”
Hearing Ting Ting's screams, Hauw Lam's doubts dissipated. He stared at Cheng Sam. “On what basis do you want to capture this lady and her friends? You are definitely not a good person!”
“Busty!” Cheng Sam charged forward and launched an attack on Hauw Lam.
Hauw Lam repelled the attack with a baton. His movements are very smooth and deft. No wonder Mr. Ouwyang Cu appointed him as one of the protectors of the Nada Valley. His skills were comparable to those of ordinary martial World warriors.
Their battle was fought. The situation was still unbalanced, but the spirit of Meng Huan and the Black Bats expanded due to getting such formidable reinforcements.
The two people dressed in Khitan area started to get restless. They do not like to just stay silent, so they throw themselves in battle and directly face Kam Sien and the Black Bat. I never thought they turned out so great! Their science is incredible. Soon they had the upper hand. Kam Sien and the Black Bats started to get desperate.
At that crucial moment, Chien Wan, Sen Khang and Ouwyang Ping arrived there. How surprised they were to see the battle. Without much further ado, they immediately intervened.
Sen Khang approached his sister who was busy fighting three of Cheng Sam's men. He replaced his younger brother and he could easily take down the three criminals.
Ouwyang Ping jumped lightly while flicking the strings of his harp to give rise to golden-red sparks. The sparks instantly led to a few criminals and exploded right on their bodies. They scream while they slam.
Chien Wan was heading straight towards Kam Sien and the Black Bats. He blew his flute and made a shrill sound that disrupted the hearing of the two Khitans. The two men staggered backwards.
Cheng Sam was very surprised to see the arrival of the person he least expected. There was nothing he feared more than Chien Wan's flute. He had already been hurt by the flute. The pain of hearing Chien Wan's flute during the meeting of the warriors caused him pain for several days and even now his ears are still somewhat deaf.
He has no other choice. Immediately he leaped off Hauw Lam and exclaimed to his men and his two friends, “Let's go!”
They all— who are still aware of course—soon leave the place.
