The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Tsang Pirates 2

The two men with sinister faces immediately rushed to a beach behind a hill not too far from the Port of Tumasik in a hurry. Once you get there, the two of them immediately rushed half-running towards a simple pier where a large red-flagged boat with white thread embroidery formed a crossed sword tied to one of its piles. It was the Tsang Pirate Ship.

The Tsang Pirates were a group of sea pirates made up of Chinese people who fled by ship from Mainland China after being involved in an uprising that was successfully quelled by Emperor Song. After being stranded in several kingdoms along their escape route, their leader, Tsang Hung, is, the old man in the group eventually decided to lead the group into pirates to continue their dream of overthrowing the Song Empire by disturbing everyone who dared to cross the Sea South China and the Strait of Malacca. So it can be said that the Tsang Pirates only targeted the Chinese nobility to avenge the death of their brother who was killed in their rebellion.

The center of this pirate group is indeed on the island of Tumasik, not far from the Port of Tumasik which is a stopover for sailors who want to go to Mainland China or vice versa.

A burly middle-aged man with some scars on his face was sitting looking out at the sea off the deck of the ship. His elongated mustache with hair on the braid of a ponytail further adds to the horror of this middle-aged man. In front of the chest, a leather sash contained dozens of dagger blades. A curved-shaped sword appeared to be neatly sheathed on the table near the wooden chair of his seat. He was Tsang Hung, the leader of the Tsang Pirates, who were deeply feared by Chinese merchants who crossed the Malacca Strait or the South China Sea.

That afternoon Tsang Hung was engrossed in sipping the wine he got while robbing wealthy Chinese merchants who were crossing the Island of Lake from India. From the piracy, hundreds of gold jewelry and jewels as well as elephant ivory he managed to snatch. Also some fine cotton cloth tie and some tea wooden crates from the world famous Assam area at that time. In addition there are some high-quality wine jars that were successfully seized. Tsang Hung was always ruthless, slaughtering the entire crew of the ill-fated Chinese merchant ship mercilessly, then sinking his ship.

As Tsang Hung put down his wine cup, from the direction of the door appeared two of his men with breathless breath.

"Chairman, there's important news! Huff...!!"

Tsang Hung who was upset because he was disturbed by the presence of two of his men quickly threw his wine cup towards his men.

Whhhuuugggh...

Tsang Hung's men have been very upset with the behavior of their leaders who do not like if the pleasure is disturbed. The two men immediately ducked away from Tsang Hung's throwing of the wine cup.

Brraaakkkk !!!

The wine cup from Chinese ceramics was immediately shattered into pieces when it hit the wooden wall of their red-flagged ship. Tsang Hung snorted loudly and then glanced sharply at the two men.

"Did you dare bother me ha? Are you tired of living?", cried Tsang Hung as he reached for his curved sword on the table.

"Bu-not so Chairman..

There is important news that the Chairman needs to know. I'm sure Chairman Pas would love to hear" said one of the two Tsang Pirates.

"Just tell me, don't beat around the bush. If you are wasting my time, severe punishment awaits you", Tsang Hung replied as he glared at the two men.

"Look Chairman, we just went to the Port of Tumasik to exchange some of our gold jewelry with food in accordance with your orders.

Now when we finished, we saw a princess of Chinese nobility descending from a red blue-flagged jung ship with gold thread embroidered with the image of a Garuda bird. Looking at her makeup, surely she was no ordinary noble but at least she was a princess in the Song Imperial Palace", shocked Tsang Hung to hear this report of her men. His face immediately heard the word princess from the Song Imperial Palace.

"Hahahaha finally, there is a princess of the palace who will receive a reply from us for Emperor Song's actions on our brother.

But wait a minute...

Big jung ship with red blue flag with gold thread embroidered with Garuda bird? I've seen it before, but when? Hemmm.", Tsang Hung seemed to think hard, trying to recall the big blue-red-flagged jung ship with gold thread embroidered with the image of the Garuda bird.

"Chairman.. Isn't that the ship that was boarded by people who had beaten the Ports of Tumasik, Maranatha the other day? I was there at the time, so remember very well with their flag", said a thin man with one eye covered by cowhide to cover his eye defects. He was Chu Hao, Tsang Hung's right-hand man in this group of pirates.

"Hemmmmmmm, so the people of Jawadwipa Land apparently..

Even though they are high-scientific people but since they brought the princess of the Song Empire palace, then we will also face them to avenge our brother brother.

You two, now where is the princess of the Song Empire palace?", Tsang Hung turned his head back to the two men.

"Syahbandar Maranatha brought the princess of the Song Empire's palace to the residence of her Chief", replied one of them quickly.

"Then, there's no need to wait any more time..

Chu Hao, gather all of our people now. We just attack the residence of Syahbandar Maranatha ", orders Tsang Hung while stepping down from the deck of his ship. Chu Hao immediately rushed to gather the members of the Tsang Pirates. It didn't take long, about 100 members of the Tsang Pirates had gathered. With orders from Tsang Hung, they immediately moved quickly towards the Port of Tumasik precisely in the direction of Maranatha's residence located in the foothills near the Port of Tumasik.

The banner of Tejo Laksono, Song Zhao Meng and Luh Jingga was really treated with hospitality by Syahbandar Maranatha. Once inside his residence, Maranatha immediately ordered the lady-in-waiting and her housemaid to prepare for all the needs of Panji Tejo Laksono including his bath and lunch. They were treated like royalty by the Maranatha family.

But when the comfort did not last long because from the direction of the gate of the residence Syahbandar Maranatha heard a loud scream from one of the gatekeepers.

"There's an attacker.... !!!!"

The loud cry of the gatekeeper of Syahbandar Maranatha residence was immediately along with the clanking of clashing weapons and cries of pain. In the courtyard of Maranatha's house there was a fierce fight between Maranatha's personal guards against the Tsang Pirates.

Panji Tejo Laksono hurriedly snatched his clothes. With a slight haste, Panji Tejo Laksono hurriedly put on his clothes. Finished getting dressed, Prabu Jayengrana's eldest son immediately rushed out towards the courtyard of Maranatha's residence filled with people who were fighting. At the same time, Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng also came out of Maranatha's house and immediately approached Tejo Laksono's Panji which now stands in line with the Tumasik Port Shahbandar.

"Who are they, Lord Maranatha? Why are they messing up in your place?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono as he looked towards the pirates led by Tsang Hung.

"I don't know the mighty Lord Bomoh..

Please help my men with your magic. Otherwise, my men would have run out in their slaughter", hearing the request from Shahbandar Maranatha, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately turned his head towards Song Zhao Meng and Luh Jingga. The two beauties immediately nodded in understanding and charged forward towards the group of ferocious Tsang Pirates slaughtering Maranatha's personal bodyguards. Panji Tejo Laksono also darted forward to the fight following Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng who first advanced.

The one-sided battle, immediately changed after Panji Tejo Laksono, Song Zhao Meng and Luh Jingga helped Maranatha's personal guards.

Shreetthhh...

Aaauuuggghhhhh !!

Two pirate members immediately fell to the ground after Luh Jingga slashed their stomachs and chests with a single slash of a sword. Seeing his friend dropped two other pirate members, immediately lunged forward towards Luh Jingga who agilely dodged the attack while pounding the sword.

Song Zhao Meng who was surrounded by Chu Hao and the four members of the Tsang Pirates, was not at all daunted. The daughter of Emperor Huizong twisted her palm to create a cold white mist. As soon as the cold white mist grew thicker, Song Zhao Meng immediately flapped the cold white mist that turned into an ice needle. Once a jolt, the ice needles that floated in the air instantly shot rapidly towards the members of the Tsang Pirates who surrounded him.

Shrrriinnggg shhrriegg !!

Chhreeppppppph!!

A pirate fell to the ground after his eyes were pierced by an ice needle thrown by Song Zhao Meng. He died instantly with a hollow eye. The other two people immediately fell backwards after two ice needles struck their shoulders. The wary Chu Hao quickly fended off Song Zhao Meng's ice needle stick with his sword. Furious to see his brother being killed so easily, Chu Hao charged straight towards Song Zhao Meng by slashing his sword towards the neck of Emperor Huizong's daughter. Like a phoenix, Song Zhao Meng nimblely dodged every attack of Chu Hao aiming for the point of death.

Tsang Hung stared intently at Panji Tejo Laksono who had just made a pirate member fall down after receiving the hit of his right palm that was red lit like fire due to the Ajian Fire God Site. The leader of the Tsang Pirate group immediately turned the sword in his right hand while his left hand grabbed several dagger blades that were in the skin sash in front of his chest.

As fast as lightning, Tsang Hung threw three dagger blades towards the Panji Tejo Laksono who had just set foot on the ground.

Shhhrriegg shhrriegg shhrriegg !!

Three dagger blades shot rapidly towards Panji Tejo Laksono. Simultaneously, Tsang Hung unsheathed his curved sword and charged forward towards the Panji Tejo Laksono. Slightly lowering his body, Tsang Hung aimed at the feet of the young prince from Kadiri.

Getting attacks from two different sides, Panji Tejo Laksono smiled faintly. As Tsang Hung's dagger and sword slash almost hit the body, suddenly a golden yellow ray covered the entire body of the Panji Tejo Laksono which was proof that Ajian Tameng Waja had been tidied up.

Thrraaanngggggg..

Thhrriinnggggg !!

Three dagger blades instantly clang as they struck the body of Panji Tejo Laksono. Similarly, when Tsang Hung's sword slash touched the skin of the prince's foot. Old Tsang Hung's eyes glared wide as he looked at it all. Hunt the leader of the Tsang Pirate group jumped back away from the Panji Tejo Laksono.

Four members of the Tsang Pirates, who happened to be near the leader, immediately read out their weapons towards the body of Panji Tejo Laksono.

The young prince from Kadiri immediately turned his palm and stomped his two hands up. Waves of energy in a high rate of swampy heat swept swiftly towards them.

Blllaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr !!

The bodies of the four people were immediately shattered after exploding violently after being hit by the heat released by Panji Tejo Laksono. Their fresh flesh and blood spread around the place. This horrifying sight instantly made Tsang Hung shudder in horror. Unknowingly Tsang Hung took a step back and turned around to escape. But at the same time, Panji Tejo Laksono suddenly appeared before Tsang Hung while grinning widely. The young prince from Kadiri immediately said,

"Where are you going?"
