Dragon and Phoenix
Chapter 62: Sword and Love

“Aissh. We have to go to Kotaraja,” said Cio San.

“Mildly only. Kotaraja is located in the north. Two days drive from here,” sahut Cukat Tong.

“Do we still get to the top of Thay San?” ask Cio San.

“From kotaraja to the top of Thay San takes 3 days. When we arrive at Thay San, the meeting and the match must have started.”

Cio San thought for a moment then said,

“Begin only. Can you take me to Thay San, and then you go to Kotaraja to deliver a letter to Cun-tianglo?”

“Of course.”

“Ah, indeed Thouw-Ong (King Maling) is not an empty name,” Cio San said with a laugh.

The moon shines brightly. The sky is bluish black. The stars shine brightly. They fly with joy. There is a problem or there is no problem, they still have fun. Cause trouble won't go away if you're sad.

Three days have passed. During those three days, Cio San gave many clues about silat to Cukat Tong. Cukat Tong also shared many knowledge about infiltration, how to unlock, how to scout, and others. In these 3 days alone, their knowledge had both increased. This was also mostly because they had found the powerful sciences on the secret cave wall in Bu Tong-san.

Although Cukat Tong had initially said that he was not interested in learning the science, it seems that now he is interested as well. Perhaps it was due to seeing Cio San vigorously practicing the movements throughout their rest time in the middle of the journey.

Now they have reached the foot of Thay San mountain. Cio San deliberately asked them to stop at the foot of the mountain, so that he could join the thousands of people who were walking towards the top of Thay San. Of course Cio San was now disguised as someone else. Cukat Tong, who is also an expert in disguise, has now dressed Cio San as a bad person whose face is filled with strange bottles. To the point that Cio San could barely recognize him anymore.

“Hey, if it is this high in your disguise, I can hesitate to approach women,” Cio San said with a laugh when he saw the image of his face in the small mirror that Cukat Tong brought.

“What's the reason?”

“Don't-don't, that beautiful woman is your cover.”

“Hahaha They both laughed out loud.

“Eh, can you dress me up to look like someone else? For example dress me up to be you or emperor?”

“Of course. As long as I have met that person, I can dress you up like.”

“Wah, great!” praise Cio San.

“But the most important of disguise science is role science. You should be able to behave and behave like the person you imitate. If not, then the disguise will be discovered and uncovered.”

Cio San nodded.

He wrote a letter to Cun-tianglo, who was now on alert in Kotaraja. After writing it, he then said to Cukat Tong, “Again, I have to trouble you.”

Cukat Tong already understood what Cio San meant, he just said, “You want me to leave now?”

“Ya.”

“Good. My birds had enough rest. I went.”

“After that, please you come back here to help me,” said Cio San.

Cukat Tong simply nodded. The narrowing had already sounded and before long, it had already floated in space.

Cio San began his journey.

He was in the quiet forest. He was now on the main road to the top. Thousands of people walk with many. This kind of atmosphere was like a great celebration. Thousands of people from all kinds of colleges, schools, and also prominent families, came flooding the road.

Cio San rarely knew people. This is because his association in the world of Kang Ouw is still narrow. After all, his experience had not been too much in Kang Ouw's world.

Many streets.

There are pedestrians, some use horses, chariots, and some are stretchers. This event is like an event for everyone to show the greatness and fame of their name. Since then, Cio San had hoped to meet Suma Sun and her entourage, but he still could not find them.

Finally, he used this opportunity to just chat with others. Although all of these men came to attend Bu Lim Bengcu's election, not all came to fight. Most of them just came to see the crowd. Just learning and paying attention to the science of others. There is indeed a little ‘disease’ in the hearts of Bu Lim people to always compare his own silat science with others.

Cio San was now acquainted with a friendly young man who had offered him a drink. His name is Kao Ceng Lun. In addition to being quite handsome, his eyes were also witty. Make people who see it immediately like him.

The surname ‘Kao’ is indeed famous among Bu Lim. The family lives in Hokkien. Therefore, the Kao Ceng Lun dialect sounds a bit funny. It made the person who heard it even more like him.

The Kao family is famous as a family whose bare hands science is aligned with many major college sciences. The name of the science was quite thrilling, Hui Liong Ciang Hoat. Science Hand Sakti Flying Dragon.

Cio San and Kao Ceng Lun are now resting in a tavern. Along the way, there are many shops selling food. There are shops that have been open there since, there are also impromptu shops that open there because of the crowd selection Bu Lim Bengcu.

“Lie-ko, let's add more vegetables. This, the meat is still a lot,” said Kao Ceng Lun while chewing.

Cio San has now changed she (surname) to Lie, named Sat.

The person named Lie Sat just smiled while eating. Kao Ceng Lun was indeed a spirited young man, so his spirit was transmitted to others.

“I'm full, Kao-siauya (Young Master Kao). Thank you very much,” said Lie Sat while stroking his stomach.

“Aih's.. I told you how many times? Don't call me Siauya. Call me Lun-te only.”

“Ah, where might I dare. Siauya wants to make me a friend, I am very happy,” said Lie Sat.

“Haha.. Since the first time I like to be friends, Lie-ko. Moreover, this was my first time traveling far away. Have a travel companion ‘kan is very fun,” his mouth is busy talking and busy chewing.

He then continued to ask, “Lie-ko, did you come to watch or join the fight for Bengcu as well?”

“Halah... Where do I have the ability to compete? Although I can do a little bit, I came here just to watch the crowd. Not bad, can a lot of knowledge obtained if we see people's matches,” said Lie Sat. Next, “Siauya itself, do you compete?”

“Iya. Just to test the ability,” replied Kao Ceng Lun with a smile.

Lie Sat smiled as well. He likes to see young people who are honest, open, and who they are. Almost like himself. Their own age may be.

They chatted at length telling each other's experiences. Not long after, a small group entered the shop.

Suma Sun, Ang Lin Hua, and Luk Ping Hoo former Pangcu Kay Pang. They sat at an empty table, which was not far from the table where Cio San and his new best friend were.

Cio San was eager to greet them, but he knew he was in disguise. Therefore, he acted normally and continued chatting with Kao Ceng Lun.

Suma Sun's own entourage also chatted little things along the way. Hearing that they were fine, Cio San felt relief in his heart.

“Eh, Lie-ko, have you seen that lady? Pretty, isn't it?”

Lie Sat turned his head towards Kao Ceng Lun's gaze.

Ang Lin Hua's.

“Very pretty, Siauya. Unfortunately her hair is all whitened,” Lie Sat said as she whispered for fear of being heard by Ang Lin Hua. The atmosphere in the shop was very crowded, but of course the swordsman's hearing remained sharp. Fortunately, it seemed like Ang Lin Hua did not know they were talking about her.

“Ah, I think it even adds to its beauty.”

Lie Sat or Cio San just nodded in affirmation.

“From the news I heard, based on her characteristics and gestures, surely the lady is Ang Lin Hua, daughter of the old Ma Kauw-kauwcu,” said Kao Ceng Lun.

Hearing this, Cio San was amazed also by the sharpness of your vision and the breadth of your knowledge Ceng Lun.

“The rider who has been silent since then must be Ang Hoat Kiam Sian, Suma Sun-tayhiap.”

Once again Kao Ceng Lun's guess was right.

“And the old man next to him may be the King Maling in disguise.”

This time he was wrong. But it still amazed Cio San, because he could draw a good conclusion.

“Ah. Great people,” said Cio San while nodding.

“I want to invite them to eat,” said Kao Ceng Lun as he stood up.

But he's late.

Someone had first come to Suma Sun's entourage table.

“You must be Suma Sun,” said the man.

His body is strong and he is young. Probably about 20 years.

Suma Sun did not reply, only nodding.

“My name is Bu Seng Ti. I am the son of Bu Seng Lam.”

“You want revenge?” ask Suma Sun.

“True. I did come to Thay San on purpose just to look for you.”

“Your sword is still far away. Go home and practice for 20 years. After that, you can look for me.”

Suma Sun said solemnly. But the person named Bu Seng Ti was even offended.

“Compulsive man! Now also pull out your sword!” he said half screaming.

The warriors inside the shop had already stopped chatting, and were watching this small crowd.

Suma Sun did not care and continued to eat.

Kingggg…!!

Bu Seng Ti pulled out his sword. The horses have been removed.

“You whose student?” ask Suma Sun.

“What do you care? Quickly pull out your sword and face me.”

“Your sword is different from your father's. Whose student are you?” it looked like Suma Sun was getting calmer.

He was also able to distinguish between people. Though that person has not issued a single move either.

Ms. Seng Ti did not answer. He attacks.

“Awas attack!” said.

His sword snatched quickly.

The glint of the sword was simple and steady. No tricks or free moves. This sword was created to kill.

Suma Sun just rewinded her body a little. The sabetan passed in front of his throat. But as soon as the sabetage escaped, the next sabetage came faster and from an unexpected direction. This time it's for his heart.

Suma Sun did not move her body at all. Only his hand deflected the sword with an empty bowl.

Seeing the two attacks again fail, Bu Seng Ti jumped high and plunged his sword. This movement is very fast. Even for Cio San's eyes, Bu Seng Ti's movements were fast.

But is there a sword that is faster than Suma Sun's?

Of course, his sword Suma Sun had stuck into Bu Seng Ti's forehead.

Without noise.

Bloodless.

There is only death.

Suma Sun looked at the corpse with regret.

“You have great talent, but why choose death.” The words sound like questions. But it also sounds like regret.

It even seemed like a strange feeling.

Because Suma Sun knew, in the future, no one would be able to match her sword. Where else would he find a comparable opponent?

Talented youth always pleased him. Because for him, there was little hope in the future for his sword to find an opponent.

Maybe because of this, he felt so lonely.

If others are lonely because they have no friends, they are lonely because they have no opponents.

A sense of desolation that only people like Suma Sun understand.

The ones who had given up their lives to the sharpness of his sword.

Suma Sun herself had raised the corpse of the young man and carried him out. To an empty land. There he dug a grave for the young man.

Ang Lin Hua and Luk Ping Hoo did not help him. They understood and understood, that for Suma Sun, what she did was a tribute to the poor young man. Something sacred. The two of them just sat on the ground and looked closely.

Those who hope to take a lot of lessons during the match, of course then think twice. If people like Suma Sun participate in the fight for Bu Lim Bengcu later, of course the lessons they get are the best lessons. Lessons about death.

Therefore, many of the tavern visitors had taken the decision right then and there, to cancel the participation in the match.

Because in essence, to them, Suma Sun was not human. It is ‘dewa’ death that comes down to earth.

But Kao Ceng Lun even more shining face. He even wants to compete more.

But isn't this spirit, the spirit that Bu Seng Ti had just now?

The typical spirit of young people who love adventure and distress.

That was why many young men died in vain.

But of course, something like this will not relax the spirit of those who are really brave and love challenges. Precisely because the challenge smelled of death, then they were interested in doing it.

“You saw the nurse, Lie-ko? Steady and deadly style,” said Kao Ceng Lun. “If I fight with him, it will definitely be very exciting.”

“If I am paid 1000 taels of gold, I will not want to compete with him,” said Lie Sat with a wry smile.

“If I pay you 1001 taels of gold, do you want to compete with him?” kao Ceng Lun asked with a laugh.

“It looks like you want,” Cio San replied while laughing anyway.

Not long after, the cemetery was finished. Suma Sun sat for a while in silence. All this time, if he kills, then the one he kills is the one who deserves to die. This young man did not deserve to die. Suma Sun did not know him. Although his father was a depraved man, the young man was not necessarily as depraved as his father.

Ms. Seng Lam, the young man's father, was killed by Suma Sun two years ago. The father was found to have eaten a lot of people's money. He was an official in an eastern area. Many people who resisted him later died horribly. Suma Sun who heard this, then searched and killed him.

People like Suma Sun, although often not concerned with the affairs of others, would still be moved if they heard the groans of commoners. That was why, he traveled quite a distance, only to kill Bu Seng Lam.

But Miss Seng Ti? The young man is not necessarily guilty. He was just avenging his family. For Suma Sun, a child who avenged her father's death, was a dutiful son. No matter how bad his father did.

“Luk-tayhiap, did Tayhiap know the swordsmanship of the young man earlier?” ask Suma Sun.

“I can only guess. His movements are like the early moves of the Ocean Whispering Sword belonging to the Kam family,” Luk Ping Hoo replied.

“I've heard of that family, but have never met them. Great swordsmanship,” praise Suma Sun. Continue, “If the young man trained him for 20 years, I would definitely have a very hard time dealing with him.”

The Kam family was a family of court officials who were also famous for their swordsmanship and cleaver. Only family members can learn the science. Meaning most likely the young man was the son-in-law of the Kam family.

Suma Sun himself was very interested in trying out the family's swordsmanship. Honey, because of various affairs, he had not had time to look for them. His fight with Bu Seng Ti's youth, a little made him can guess how powerful their swordsmanship and machete.

Sometimes, what made Suma Sun even more sad, was her swordsmanship! His sword was created just to kill. He knows no other way of fighting, than killing people.

His sword was only for killing!

Suddenly a woman appeared. His eyes were swollen and his face reddened.

“Am I late?” tanyakanya.

“Whose name?” ang Lin Hua asked.

“Where is Ti-ko (Silver Ti)?” the lady asked back.

“You mean Bu Seng Ti?” ang Lin Hua asked.

“Ya.”

“Dia...” Ang Lin Hua did not dare to answer. His eyes only stared at the grave that had just been made.

“Ti-ko The lady ran over and dropped herself on the grave.

“Ti-ko.. Oh.. Ti-ko's.. What about this baby boy in my stomach Ti-ko?” He cried for a long time. It creates a newness for people watching.

More and more people gathered to see this incident. Some of them hoped there would be more crowds.

The lady, who turned out to be a young mistress, stood up.

“You must be Suma Sun.”

It had been twice that Suma Sun heard people say this. The first one is already heading to the afterlife.

“True.”

“Why did you kill him?”

“Because he wants to kill me,” replied Suma Sun flat and cold.

“Ciiihh…!! Great warrior killed a young man snot,” said the young mistress coldly.

On his shoulders is a sword. He has pulled it.

“You're a family member Kam?” ask Suma Sun.

“Suma-tayhiap, don't kill people,” said Luk Ping Hoo trying to remind.

But somehow, these words sounded funny if they were spoken to Suma Sun. It was like asking the sun to stop shining, and the earth to stop spinning.

The young lady floated up. Quickly clang. His sword had already formed hundreds of sword specks that hit Suma Sun's body.

This sword light was like a flood that was without gaps, and flawless.

“Science of great swords.” Suma Sun smiled. Somehow, he had escaped that dangerous attack.

But the young mistress did not give Suma Sun the slightest chance to draw out her sword. In the blink of an eye, his sword had snatched three places at once almost simultaneously. Throat, chest, and waist.

His glint made this sword shine in the sunlight.

Once again, Suma Sun was able to dodge the attack.

The young madam also intensified her attack. Now his sword had formed a wide beam, which split from the left side to the bottom of the right side.

Suma Sun knew swordsmanship like this was extremely difficult to train and master. Because his movements were quick and sudden, and had a twinkling change of eyes. The power contained in it, can even cut something without the need to touch it.

A pinch of Suma Sun's hair was cut off by that sword wind.

He even smiled. All his life, only this time there was a person who could touch parts of his body with a sword. Even if it's just the end of the hair.

He avoided and avoided. The sword was like a dragon that swerved around Suma Sun's body.There was no empty gap for Suma Sun to attack. Even to draw out a sword, he did not have time.

His body was scratched a lot by the wind from the sword.

But he laughed happily.

For the rest of his life, only this time did Suma Sun laugh happily.

He moved around following the young mistress' sword. His body was scratched here, but he enjoyed it.

Like a good musician who finds a playmate.

Like a man who meets a friend of discussion.

“This sword science is perfect,” Suma Sun said with a laugh.

He praised the swordsmanship of the opponent happily. The sword of the opponent is seeking his life.

The young lady snatched and snatched. It seemed, the most meaningful job of his life was to kill this person before him.

“Great!” Suma Sun praised.

Every attack that came, scratched his body. Each scratch, resulting in praise coming out of Suma Sun's mouth. It seems she did not expect, a tough opponent who can match her is a woman who was sad just left dead her husband.

“Perfect! Perfect!”

Tens of them have passed. Tens of times Suma Sun praised.

There were dozens of scratches on his body.

One day, his sword came out. The moment that was waiting arrived.

Somehow that opportunity came. In fact, there was not the slightest gap from the first time the young mistress attacked.

A single flash of Suma Sun's sword was much faster, fiercer, and more terrifying than the dozens of attacks the young mistress had.

The glint shone with its light.

There was no blood or sound.

But this time too, for the first time, there was no death.

The young mistress' sword had been released from her hands. Somehow, Suma Sun had managed to shake off the falling sword.

Just this time throughout his life history, Suma Sun's sword did not taste the opponent's death.

“You go, Madam. Practice harder. In 12 years, you will probably be able to defeat me,” Suma Sun said calmly.

He turned his body. Go leave the young mistress.

The young mistress quickly picked up her sword and thrust the sword into Suma Sun's back.

A very fast movement, and coming from behind.

But before Suma Sun dodged, the sword had broken into three. Got a secret weapon from a distance.

A middle-aged person had already appeared there.

“Dad!” exclaim the young mistress.

“Shut up! From this moment on, I forbid you to use a sword,” said the middle-aged man. He spoke calmly but his eyes were sharp and piercing.

“Kam-tayhiap, greetings,” says Suma Sun menjura.

“Salam,” reply parents called Kam-tayhiap it. Continue, “You forgive my daughter's actions. From this moment on, I guarantee he won't use the sword again.”

As a swordsman who really loves his swordsmanship, Kam-tayhiap highly upholds swordsmanship. The sword is not to be used to support from behind.

Therefore, Suma Sun just smiled.

“But, Dad. That bastard killed Ti-ko,” said the young mistress sobbing.

“Your husband died of his own indiscretions. Everyone who trains in swordsmanship knows that his soul was already sold as he began to learn to play the sword,” Kam-tayhiap replied. ”You come home with me.”

After saying so, the grandfather joked, then said, “We will meet someday, Suma-tayhiap.”

“Definitely, Kam-tayhiap.”

“Dad, how about Ti-ko's body?”

“Get our people take care of it,” the old man said without turning his head, and disappeared behind the crowd.

Quickly, ‘people’ Kam family has dismantled the new grave and taken care of Bu Seng Ti's body. Suma Sun watched solemnly and respectfully.

The young lady and her entourage then left. The crowd then faded, and everyone returned to their respective affairs.

Suma Sun pensive.

For the first time, his sword saved lives. Not to take a life.

There was a strange feeling in his heart. A feeling he had never felt before.

It's not just about the sword. But also about….

Ah, Suma Sun did not dare to think any further.
