The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
A Three-Legged Demon Crow

Long Lian was silent at her mother's words. At least he was aware that Panji Tejo Laksono and him were like the earth and the sky were very far away. He promised himself that he would hold his love for the young prince from Kadiri deeply.

The night continues to rise. The longer the night's cold the colder the bone. The massive party held by Long Wu for Panji Tejo Laksono and Song Zhao Meng had ended. Everyone has been in their own contest to sleep away from all the hustle and bustle of their world for a moment.

The morning sun slowly appeared on the eastern horizon after the rusty rooster crowing sounded. The sound of this natural sound signified that the morning had arrived in the territory of Zhou City. The writhing of human life began to occur in the port city of Yinghe River.

Wanting to do good to Emperor Huizong's daughter, Zhou Mayor Jiang Wei lent Zhou City's ship to the Banji Tejo Laksono and his friends to arrive in Hefei Governorate sooner. Panji Tejo Laksono did not reject the wishes of Mayor Zhou because he also wanted to quickly return to Jawadwipa Land. Song Zhao Meng thanked Mayor Zhou for his kindness.

That morning after they had finished transporting their luggage onto Mayor Zhou's large ship, the two large ships immediately left Zhou City in the presence of several confidants of Mayor Zhou. Slowly the ship moved down the Yinghe River leaving the place. Long Lian stared at their departure with a sad face.

The ripples of river water that empties in the East China Sea look calm. The ship carried by Panji Tejo Laksono was in front, while the ship carrying the Panjalu soldiers was in the rear. This time their trip to Hefei Governorate was so relaxed.

"Gusti Prince, Prince,

How long do we think we'll be at Hefei port?", asked Luh Jingga, leaning his head on the young prince's left shoulder. The banner of Tejo Laksono who stood at the bow of the ship smiled knotingly at Luh Jingga's behavior.

"Where do I know Luh?

Just ask Meng Er. Surely he knows more about it", Panji Tejo Laksono replied immediately.

"Hmmmmmmm..

I want to return home to Panjalu, Gusti Prince. Somehow I always remember Romo Resi Damarmoyo on the Hill of Depopulation", said Luh Jingga while looking at the clear southern sky.

"I also miss our hometown, Luh..

Later when we reach Lin'an, I will ask Uncle Purusoma to immediately raise the anchor so that we quickly return to our place", Panji Tejo Laksono also looked at the southern sky. There is a feeling of longing for the atmosphere around Kotaraja Daha.

Their boat continued down the Yinghe River. Half a day's journey, they reached Luoyang City. After purchasing some food supplies for their journey, the ship again moved directly eastward.

Once entering a village located on the south bank of the Yinghe River called Chengguan, suddenly a thick fog fell covering the entire area of the place until the ship's captain named Lao Tzu, forced to stop their journey and pull over at the port edge of Chengguan Village. Limited visibility made them unable to continue their journey towards Hefei port.

"Everybody be careful !

This is no ordinary fog. Quickly entering into each house ", there was a heavy voice of a middle-aged man while hitting a small gong which was a common danger warning tool for the Chinese community.

Hearing the warning, everyone on board the river crossing was on standby.

A middle-aged fisherman who had just finished fishing on the Yinghe River hurriedly jumped onto the small pier of the river port and quickly tied his boat rope to the stake he was on sana. Half in a hurry, the bamboo basket used for his catch fish container rolled onto the wooden board of the dock because he tripped while running. He hurriedly gathered the fish. At that time Panji Tejo Laksono and Song Zhao Meng and Luh Jingga who saw the incident immediately approached him. Unasked, Panji Tejo Laksono helped put the scattered fish into bamboo baskets.

"Sorry Uncle, why does everyone look like they're scared because of this fog?

Can uncle tell me?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono as he continued to help put the fish in the bamboo basket.

"There are demons roaming around when this mist appears, Young Master. He was always looking for the lives of people who roamed outside the house. There have been dozens of people in Chengguan Village who have been victims.

Thank you for your help, I say goodbye", the old fisherman replied after the last fish caught in the basket. Buru hunted him to carry the bamboo basket and half ran towards his house at the end of the village. The residents of Chengguan Village immediately closed the doors and windows of their homes after their family members entered the house. The atmosphere in Chengguan Village was instantly deserted like a dead village.

The atmosphere instantly became tense. Everyone immediately clashed against each other to prepare for everything that might happen.

There was the sound of a crow suddenly making a sound from behind the thick fog. Then came some ravens flying from within the fog. A moment later appeared two thin men dressed in black-and-black like raven feathers that floated down in front of Panji Tejo Laksono and friends. Their black makeup-filled faces further add to their sinister appearance.

The two of them were demons that the old fisherman had intended. A pair of heretical warriors whose names are greatly feared by the warriors of the Chinese Land, a Three-Legged Devil Crow. The two of them were a pair of ruthless warriors who liked to kill indiscriminately. Besides they worship the King of Hell aka the Demon King as a condition to be strong, they also have a worship ritual at the expense of people's lives.

The man was named Li Chun Jun. The thin but muscular man with big eyes and thin mustache, was seen wearing black crow fur on his clothes and head. A sword was slung on his back. The woman was named Qing Yu. This thin-faced woman looked like an undead with pale facial skin with sunken eyes. Her thin lips looked black due to the lip makeup she was wearing. His body was slightly shorter than Li Chun Jun, yet it looked slightly more contained. Like Li Chun Jun, Qing Yu also wore black crow fur makeup on her hair and on her dark-colored sleeves.

This month, they continue to slaughter the people around Chengguan Village to meet the demand for the sacrifice of 100 lives to increase their power by sucking their lives. What an act only worthy of a devil incarnate as a human being.

Indeed, the local and central governments of the Song Empire had repeatedly attempted to capture them dead or alive, but all failed because of their high martial arts prowess. Even some of the white warriors who helped, even became victims of their strange and perverse martial skills.

The banner of Tejo Laksono was instantly wary of this Three-Legged Pair of Crow Demons as it sensed something black power deeply rooted within these two men and women.

Hihihihihihi...!

There was the sound of a soft but frightening laughter for anyone who heard it from Qing Yu's lips aka the Demon Crow Female.

"There are so many people who want to die in this place, Brother Jun", Qing Yu continued to step up while grinning widely beside Li Chun Jun who was staring intently at Panji Tejo Laksono and the two beautiful girls beside him.

Rakryan Purusoma who understood their words immediately moved followed by Demung Gumbreg. Tumenggung Ludaka and Tumenggung Rajegwesi immediately followed the two of them in front of Panji Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng with tightly grasped their respective weapons.

Without waiting for orders, the four retainers of the Panjalu Kingdom immediately charged forward towards the Three-legged Pair of Crow Demons.

"Stupid gibberish!

You do not know yourself!!", said Li Chun Jun aka The Male Crow Devil while shaking his right hand.

Whuuugggh !

A swarm of cold winds of power in a violent rush followed Li Chun Jun's flickering hand. Like a large wall of wind, this cold wind flutter immediately blocked the movement of the four high-ranking Panjalu soldiers who shot rapidly towards the Three-legged Pair of Crow Devils.

Dhhieeeeeessshh...

Aaauuuggghhhhh !!

There was a long bellowing sound from one of the high-ranking officers of Panjalu soldiers crashing forward and the body of the four bounced far back and hit the ground on the banks of the Yinghe River violently. Rakryan Purusoma who has the lowest martial ability immediately vomits fresh blood while Tumenggung Ludaka, Tumenggung Rajegwesi and Demung Gumbreg appear to wipe fresh blood that melts out of the corner of their lips. This signified that the inner power possessed by Li Chun Jun was extremely high.

"Fuck uhukkk..

The corpse's face was apparently of high science, Lu. We underestimate them too much" Demung Gumbreg said as he rose from the fall. His chest felt tight not playing, like he had just hit a large wooden beam.

"Uhukkk.. You're right Mbreg, we were too rash to directly attack them.

We better be careful if we don't want to die silly here uhukkk.", Tumenggung Ludaka coughed feeling pain in his chest. He immediately clasped tightly onto the hilt of his short sword and prepared to advance back but Panji Tejo Laksono instantly gave a hand signal to the four of them to stay in their respective places.

"Uncle four, you better stay there..

Their business, let me face it".
