The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Rest of the Blood Crescent Group

Panji Tejo Laksono smiled thinly as he ran quickly around Paluombo while trying to dismantle the opponent's defense that took shelter behind his Wind Fortress Ajian.

On the other side of the fight, Nyi Sekar Mirah whipped the tip of her red scarf at a robber who tried to get close to her.

Whuutts...

Bllaaaaaarrr!!!

The robber led by Paluombo was immediately toppled and vomited fresh blood after the tip of the red scarf hit his chest.

Nyi Sekar Mirah pulled her shawl and immediately changed her body movement and then again threw the tip of her red scarf towards a burly man.

Whhhuuugggh...

The burly robber immediately bounced high into the air and landed on the shawl of Nyi Sekar Mirah. This man immediately ran towards Nyi Sekar Mirah on the scarf while preparing to release his weapon.

Nyi Sekar Mirah immediately jerked the end of her red scarf and the originally stiff shawl turned limp as usual which caused the burglar-bodied robbers to immediately fall.

With a quick movement, Nyi Sekar Mirah spun around and immediately hit the burglar's chest with his left palm.

Bllaammmmmmm!!

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!!

The burglar was immediately slammed backwards after the hit by the left hand of Nyi Sekar Mirah severely hit his chest. He twitched for a moment before dying with a charred chest.

Meanwhile, two students of the Yellow Bamboo College Adijaya and Arini shoulder to shoulder against the robbers with yellow bamboo sticks that are typical weapons of the silat college.

Adijaya nabbed his yellow bamboo stick towards the opponent's feet to force the opponent to jump high.

Arini violently treads the opponent's movement with a bolt of his yellow bamboo stick that targets the robber's head.

Prrraaaackdirtkkk...

The head of the robber their opponent was immediately smashed hit by a yellow bamboo stick belonging to Arini. He fell to the ground with his head covered in fresh blood. The two of them continue to work hand in hand to bring down the robbers led by Paluombo one by one.

Gayatri continued to move her index finger which made a silvery blue light shot rapidly towards the opponent.

Jllleeeeeeppppphh!!

One of his opponents instantly collapsed after a silvery blue beam pierced the heart of one of the robbers. Gayatri kept moving the two silvery blue rays that circled her body as if protecting Gayatri's body from any members of the robbers who tried to approach her.

Ki Kagendra grinned widely after staring at his opponent who collapsed after his nails tore the stomach of a robber. No doubt his opponent died with his intestines decomposed out.

The elderly man immediately inhaled as much air as possible before channeling his inner strength on to his ten fingers. A blackish-yellow ray was created on his fingers which formed claws in front of his eyes. Slowly Ki Kagendra straightened both hands beside his body then the old grandfather swung his fingers towards the robbers.

Whhuuuuuggh!!

Ten streaks of blackish yellow light rushed towards the robbers who were besieging him.

Chhrrrraaaaaass crasshh!

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!!

Two ill-fated robbers fell down immediately after a thin, blackish-yellow beam like a sword blade cut through their limbs. Two more people were also exposed to a blackish-yellow beam that injured their backs and arms.

"Today, don't expect you to escape my Ajian Claw!"

After saying so, Ki Kagendra darted quickly towards the robbers who began to squeal let alone see their leader Paluombo still can not be separated from the siege of Panji Tejo Laksono.

The red light lit up like a fire back into Paluombo which continuously twirled its big hammer around its body. A cold wind whistled around wrapped the body of the stocky man tightly.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

After releasing the Fire God's Palm Ajian, Panji Tejo Laksono leapt back in his shoes several times. Immediately Panji Tejo Laksono cupped both palms in front of the chest. The young prince's eyes closed for a moment while his mouth was about to cast the spell of Ajian the Heavenly Dragon God. This time he wants to issue the knowledge of the power of the new Begawan Ganapati teachings this time he wants to use.

Hot wind blowing fiercely around the body of King Panjalu's son. A reddish blue light enveloped the entire body of the young prince. When the eyes of Panji Tejo Laksono opened, the eyes of Panji Tejo Laksono turned bright red like the eyes of a dragon that had just awakened from its long slumber.

Both hands of Panji Tejo Laksono rotate with both palms opened and collected in front of the chest.

Paluombo who saw the change of Panji Tejo Laksono was flabbergasted as well. He twisted his large hammer weapon increasingly faster and added all his strength in order to fortify himself.

"The Celestial Dragon God Present..

Hiyyyyaaaaaaaat.....!!!!!"

A reddish blue ray burst into Paluombo from the right hand of Panji Tejo Laksono. The hot wind whistled after the reddish blue light released by the young prince.

Whhhuuugggh....

Rrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

A powerful explosion was heard when a reddish blue light hit the body of Paluombo protected by Ajian Wind Fortress. The thick-bodied man slammed far back and hit the ground hard. His iron hammer slipped from his hand and Paluombo vomited fresh blood. Paluombo tried to get up but his body collapsed and fell back down. Severe internal injuries really hurt the organs in his body.

Seeing the leader fall, a Paluombo man darted quickly towards Panji Tejo Laksono. But he had not yet gotten close, a single reddish-blue light hit his body.

Bllaammmmmmm!!

The Paluombo men immediately bounced far back and suckled the ground hard. He was instantly killed with a charred body like a burning fire.

Panji Tejo Laksono continued to step closer to Paluombo. The thick-bodied man was frightened to see the fiery red eyeball Panji Tejo Laksono and tried to get away from the prince of Panjalu.

Accidentally the foot of Panji Tejo Laksono touched the large wooden handle of Paluombo's hammer. Panji Tejo Laksono snorted loudly and then stepped on the hilt of the big hammer with a single stomp.

Kreeek... Arakkkkk!!!

The large hammer handle broke into two pieces. Paluombo was getting scared seeing it all.

"Am.. Forgive me swordsman!

I admit defeat, I'm guilty! I beg you to spare my life!", said Paluombo with fear. He saw his men who lived some people because others had been slaughtered by friend Panji Tejo Laksono. Paluombo knelt before the young prince.

"Jangan percaya ucapan bajingan itu, Taji..

He was a member of the Blood Crescent Group ", cried Ki Kagendra as he darted towards Paluombo after slaughtering a member of the robbers.

Paluombo who was bent silently quietly pulled out a dagger stored on his waist. His eyes glanced towards Ki Kagendra who was moving towards him. He realizes that he cannot possibly live anymore once Ki Kagendra uncovers his secret. He is determined to bring Panji Tejo Laksono to death with him.

One quick jump made Paluombo lunged towards Panji Tejo Laksono while directing a sharp dagger towards the prince of Panjalu.

"Let's die together!", cried Paluombo in despair.

Jllleeeeeeppph..

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!

Paluombo screamed loudly feeling his left chest in the translucent something. He was wide-eyed to see his left chest hollow and fresh blood spurting out of the hole there. The thick-bodied man immediately fell to the ground while smothering his wound. Soon Paluombo twitched violently for a while and then remained silent for good. Under his body blood pooled the ground.

Seeing Paluombo dead, the rest of his members tried to escape by jumping towards the thickets of scrub around the place. The members of the pandita troupe led by Mpu Kerta and friends of Panji Tejo Laksono tried to pursue. Although many were killed, there were some people who managed to escape from their pursuit.

From that fight, the group of pandit led by Mpu Kerta and Mpu Sumba lost two of their members, 3 injured and others survived despite suffering few injuries.

"Thank you very much for your help, warriors. If you can know, who is our helper here?", asked Mpu Sumba with courtesy to Ki Kagendra who is the oldest person among the group of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"We are warriors who were asked by Gusti Adipati Windupati to eradicate the rioters who had long undermined the security of the Karang Anom Duchy.

My name is Kagendra, who in red is Nyi Sekar Mirah. The two who were dressed in bamboo were Taji Lelono and Gayatri. While the one holding the yellow bamboo stick is Adijaya and Arini", replied Ki Kagendra with a faint smile.

Of course, the name Ki Kagendra is no stranger to the ears of the residents of the Karang Anom Duchy south side because of his actions as a white swordsman who is reluctant in the region. Mpu Sumba immediately bowed his body to Ki Kagendra.

"It was a good fortune for me to meet a great warrior who stood firm in upholding the truth.

I am Mpu Sumba and this is my younger brother Mpu Kerta. We are the people of Bukit Rance Hermitage in the Tawing region.

If you don't mind I'll have you all come with us to Rance Hill. Let us return your kind favor with something that may not mean ", Mpu Sumba said expectantly.

Ki Kagendra immediately turned his head towards Panji Tejo Laksono. Seeing the nod of the head of the young prince, Ki Kagendra immediately agreed to invite Mpu Sumba to stop by the Rance Hill Hermitage.

They immediately rushed out of the place towards a woman who was about a thousand fathoms away from the edge of the teak forest. Passing through the vast teak forest, they continued to move towards the east.

Meanwhile, two Paluombo men who managed to escape continued to move away from the place of their fight.

"We must quickly report this to Ki Suratimantra, Kakang..

The death of our leader must be avenged", said a strong-bodied man as he continued to step through the thick shrubland shrub that grows in the teak forest bordering the Karang Anom Duchy and Tanggulangin Duchy. His legs were injured by sharp thorns he did not feel even though his feet were bleeding.

"real sister..

Let Ki Suratimantra act. The swordsmen were not swordsmen, especially the bamboo caper who killed Ki Paluombo", said a short stocky man quickly. They continued to pierce through the dense thicket of shrubs that grew among the lush teak trees.

By late afternoon, the two men arrived at a small village on a fence with logs as high as two fathoms with a pointed edge on the edge of the teak forest. There was a large house at the end of the village that was bounded by a steep rock hill.

The two large-bodied men who guarded the gate of the small village immediately recognized the two men as Paluombo's men.

"Hey, why did you guys get here?

Where is Ki Paluombo?", asked one of the gatekeepers immediately.

"We have to report to Ki Suratimantra immediately. There are important things that should not be postponed", replied the short-tempered man quickly.

"Then let me take you to the leader's house" said the gatekeeper as he rushed into the village followed by two Paluombo men.

A thick-bodied man with a distended stomach was sitting on a wooden chair on the porch of the largest house at the foot of the rock hill. The face of this man was a little strange with toothless upper and two teeth downwards extending like wild boar fangs. His stocky body with a bald head with hair just behind the ears further adds to the impression that this person is similar to a boar or boar. Behind her was a rectangular black cloth with reverse crescent moon embroidery colored blood red.

The man who was about 4 and a half decades old seemed to frown at the arrival of two Paluombo men who came with a gatekeeper of a small village that became one of dozens of headquarters of the Moon Group Blood Crescent. But after their headquarters in the border of the Land Perdikan Lodaya destroyed by Mapatih Warigalit while still Senopati, the group was scattered into a small group despite still using the name Blood Crescent. The remaining members of the Blood Crescent Moon formed their own groups that were not interconnected.

"I'm sorry Lurah e..

I'm Ki Paluombo's man. Reporting that Ki Paluombo was killed by a group of warriors led by South Rajawali Swordsman Lurah e", said Paluombo's men who were short-bodied. Everyone was shocked to hear the news.

"Bad!

So they dared to mess with the Blood Crescent Group? Son of a bitch!", Ki Suratimantra immediately stood up from his seat. His anger immediately bubbled up to hear the reports from his friends. Although not related to each other anymore, but Paluombo is his closest friend.

The two men then told about the beginning of the fight between those who wanted to seize the property of the old pandit from the Rance Hill Hermit who had just returned from Pakuwon Kamulan until he was killed Paluombo in the hands of the swordsman with bamboo.

"So they're the Rance Hill Hermitages?

This can't just be left alone. We must avenge Paluombo's death.

Garungs, weasel,

Gather our people. Take Mantrayaksa and Kaligenjong. Quickly", Ki Suratimantra's orders loudly to the gatekeeper of the Blood Crescent Group's headquarters.

"Tonight, this,

We're leveling Rance Hill Hermit with land!"
