The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Ajian Chanda Bhirawa's

Because Dyah Kirana did not immediately answer the question, Maharesi Padmanaba immediately spoke.

"Are you the eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana?", asked Maharesi Padmanaba immediately.

"True Resi, I am Panji Tejo Laksono the eldest son of Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana.

Please tell me, what is really going on in this place? Why did my soldiers become like this?", Panji Tejo Laksono stared at the face as old as Maharesi Padmanaba.

"I'm here to challenge you, Duke of Seloageng. If you are a true knight, go after me now", having said so, Maharesi Padmanaba immediately snatched Dyah Kirana's right hand and in mere eye-catching, the bodies of the two of them had already disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Panji Tejo Laksono snorted loudly and his mouth was kamit kamit reciting the mantra of Ajian Halimun. A moment later, the new ruler of the Duchy of Seloageng also disappeared.

The confused Song Zhao Meng immediately rushed into the palace of the Duchy of Seloageng to inform the wives of the other Panji Tejo Laksono.

Seeing the arrival of Song Zhao Meng who looked confused at the Duchy of Seloageng Duchy Palace, Ayu Ratna who was arranging jasmine flowers immediately stopped her work and rushed to approach Emperor Huizong's daughter.

"Wulandari, what's wrong with you? Where is Kangmas Prince Duke? Aren't you with her?", the question popped out of Ayu Ratna's mouth.

"That's Cici Ayu.. There was a commotion in front of the palace gate..

After which, the white-clothed old man challenged Brother Thee and they disappeared. What should we do?", Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari was nervous as well when answering Ayu Ratna's question.

Surprised all Panji wife Tejo Laksono heard Song Zhao Mengs reply. Gayatri immediately stood up from her seat and rushed up to Song Zhao Meng.

"Where are they going, Wulan?", Gayatri looked at Song Zhao Meng's beautiful face which looked puzzled.

"I-I don't know, Cici Gayatri..

Brother Thee instantly disappeared without being seen moving anywhere" Song Zhao Meng said immediately.

"Halimun Shows.. Kangmas Prince must have used that science. Let us wait while praying to the Great. Because the direction of science can't be guessed.

But if until a day Kangmas Prince Panji Tejo Laksono does not go home without news, we should ask Gusti Prabu Jayengrana for help", said Luh Jingga wisely. Hearing that, the other three wives of Panji Tejo Laksono nodded in understanding with a long sigh to calm down.

While the wives of Panji Tejo Laksono in a panic after their husbands disappeared, somewhere quite far from the Duchy of Seloageng, precisely in a small forest located on the banks of the Brantas River, Panji Tejo Laksono is facing Maharesi Padmanaba and Dyah Kirana.

Panji Tejo Laksono stared at the old hermit as if figuring out what he really wanted because he felt there was never any business with him.

"Resi, what do you really want? Why are you taking me to this place?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"Duke Seloageng...

My name is Maharesi Padmanaba and this is my favorite grandson Dyah Kirana. I came far away from Mount Mahameru because I wanted to try out your martial skills" said Maharesi Padmanaba soon.

"Please apologize in advance, Maharesi. We have no problems before so there is no need to pit each other against the science of worship to prove that we are superior to others" Panji Tejo Laksono politely replied.

"I knew you'd turn it down. Tell you what, how about we bet Adipati Seloageng?", a wide smile engraved on the old face of Maharesi Padmanaba.

"Betc? What do you want to bet Maharesi?", Panji Tejo Laksono still does not understand what the words of Maharesi Padmanaba mean.

"If you can defeat me, then I'll give you an heirloom. If I can defeat you, then you must obey all my wishes including marrying you to my granddaughter" Maharesi Padmanaba said with a faint smile.

"I'm married, Maharesi. There's no way I'm getting married again. So apologize if I can't accept your request. But if I can defeat you, then I will obey all your wishes", Panji Tejo Laksono bowed respectfully to Maharesi Padmanaba.

"Then, try to win the Seloageng Duke", after saying so, Maharesi Padmanaba immediately darted towards the Panji Tejo Laksono. The old hermit quickly swung the wooden stick in his hand towards the neck of Panji Tejo Laksono.

Whhuuuuuugggh ..!!!

Nimble Panji Tejo Laksono directly avoids the sabetage of the Maharesi Padmanaba stick by moving to the side. The speed of body displacement of Panji Tejo Laksono instantly made Maharesi Padmanaba smile widely.

"Ajian Sepi Wind hehehe..

You deserve to be my granddaughter-in-law, Duke Seloageng", Maharesi Padmanaba treads the ground with his right foot, twisting his body and crashing back towards Panji Tejo Laksono at a higher speed than before.

Panji Tejo Laksono was surprised to also see the old hermit's high speed. Hurriedly he tried to take the distance between them by jumping back but the old hermit from the Mahameru Mountain Hermit did not let him just like that. He immediately chased after her with a swift attack.

Whuuthhh..

Plllaaaakkkkk plllaaaakkkk..

Blllaaaaaarrr !!

Loud explosions were heard as the two palms clashed. The banner of Tejo Laksono was pushed back two spears away from Maharesi Padmanaba while the old hermit only took two steps back. This proves that the energy in the Maharesi Padmanaba is several levels higher than the Panji Tejo Laksono.

Seeing that Panji Tejo Laksono immediately deployed the Heavenly Dragon God Ajian to increase his inner strength. Panji Tejo Laksono's body was immediately engulfed by a fleeting red aura which signified that his inner power had already increased to double. Maharesi Padmanaba who saw the development, the wider his smile and back darted quickly towards Panji Tejo Laksono with his rapid attack.

The fierce battle between them continued. Although Panji Tejo Laksono had already deployed his Heavenly Dragon God Ajian, yet he was still unable to compensate for the high level of his profound energy possessed by Maharesi Padmanaba. Several times, the body of Panji Tejo Laksono had to be dragged back after a fight with the Maharesi Padmanaba.

Whuuussshh..

Meanwhile, Dyah Kirana watched the fierce fight between Maharesi Padmanaba on the edge of the field with anxious expectations. On the one hand he wants Maharesi Padmanaba to win the fight but on the other hand he is also worried about the safety of Panji Tejo Laksono because he knows that his grandfather was a powerful mandraguna.

Panji Tejo Laksono snorted loudly after his body was pushed back after colliding with the high level of energy with Maharesi Padmanaba. The curiosity quickly ended the fight with the old hermit gushing into his chest. From the start of the fight, he had indeed held back a little to not injure the old hermit. But fatigue after a battle that drained his inner strength made him unable to be patient anymore.

"Maharesi Padmanaba, I'm sorry if I had to hurt you" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he spread out his arms.

"Try the Duke of Seloageng. I am still able to serve your silat game", Maharesi Tirtanata actually smiled. This made Panji Tejo Laksono even more angry. Immediately the stinging heat came out from inside the body of Panji Tejo Laksono. The hot air that could make this spark quickly spread throughout the place. Dyah Kirana who was on the edge of the field where the fight was alone had to exert her inner strength to survive the heat that came out of the body of Panji Tejo Laksono.

Unmitigated, Panji Tejo Laksono issued a final stage Nine Sun Science named Nine Suns Illuminate the World. Eight balls of yellowish-red light shot out from within the body of Panji Tejo Laksono, then spun rapidly forming a large circle that spread a terrifying heat. This is the peak stage of energy science in a high level that is able to melt anything that passes through it. Maharesi Padmanaba gasped also at the ability of Panji Tejo Laksono. The old hermit immediately commits to chanting his flagship study spell. He can't lose this time.

"Maharesi Padmanaba, I'm sorry..

Nine Suns Shining the World...

Hiiyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaat....!!!!"

Eight balls of hot yellowish-red light that gathered into a bond in a large circle immediately shot towards the Maharesi Padmanaba after the Banner Tejo Laksono slammed his right hand towards the old hermit.

Whhhuuuggghhh !!

"Eyang Maharesi, beware.!!", cried Dyah Kirana who saw her grandfather not flinching a bit from where he stood as the ball of yellowish red light headed towards her. But the cry of Dyah Kirana was in vain.

Dhhhuuuaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr !!!

A powerful explosion was heard when a yellowish-red ball of light released by Panji Tejo Laksono hit the body of Maharesi Padmanaba. The powerful explosion was heard until Ranja Hermitage which was about 1000 spears away from the place. Thick smoke and dust flew over the entire place.

Panji Tejo Laksono stared at the place of Maharesi Padmanaba with a look of guilt. Although his breath was dull after expending so much energy, but the young prince from Kadiri was also unable to escape his guilt for taking the life of an old hermit. As the smoke began to subside, there was a frightening sight. Panji Tejo Laksono glared wide at his sight.

A creepy creature that looks like a white giant but small like an ordinary human out of the body of Maharesi Padmanaba.

One..

Two...

Three...

Four...

Five...

Ten creepy creatures emerged from the body of the Maharesi Padmanaba who lay on the ground. Their eyes were as bright red as they were about to pounce on their prey. The ten creatures immediately shot towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

Aware that he was in danger, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately slammed his right palm towards them.

Whhhuuugggh..

Bllaammmmmmmmm !!

The two creepy creatures screamed loudly and his body bounced around with half of his body shattered exposed to the Nine Suns Science. But there is another strange thing happening. From the 1 body of the creepy creature appeared 2 of the same creature and they immediately shot towards Panji Tejo Laksono. The banner of Tejo Laksono continues to smash the footprint of his right hand in the Nine Sun Science towards them. But instead of decreasing but the creepy creatures are actually increasing in number. One destroyed, two appeared. Every single death of that creepy creature, they would be two and so on. Despite being tired of fighting against them, Panji Tejo Laksono continued to release the yellowish-red radiance of the Nine Sun Science he had towards them.

Blllaaaaaarrr bllaaaaaarrrf..

Mmmmmmmmmm..!!!

One of the creepy creatures managed to see the gap in the defense of Panji Tejo Laksono's body that opened because it was busy constantly releasing the Nine Sun Science. One hard kick from the creepy creature makes the body of Panji Tejo Laksono look, and this is used by the creepy creatures to attack forward to Panji Tejo Laksono. They quickly ganged up on Panji Tejo Laksono's body. One by one began to move on the body of Panji Tejo Laksono until the new ruler of the Duchy of Seloageng fell. The more Panji Tejo Laksono thrashed about to break away, the more closely this white creepy creature embraces all parts of the body of Panji Tejo Laksono until the young prince has difficulty breathing.

When the Panji Tejo Laksono was in a state of sandwiched, Maharesi Padmanaba walked up to the oldest prince in the Kingdom of Panjalu with a smile knot.

"Have you admitted your defeat, Duke Seloageng?", said Maharesi Padmanaba immediately.

"Hosh hoossshhh I-I admit defeat, Maharesi.. I admit defeat", Panji Tejo Laksono said immediately. Hearing that answer, Maharesi Padmanaba smiled widely. The old hermit's mouth immediately began to cast a spell. In the blink of an eye, the creepy creature disappeared, re-entered the body of Maharesi Padmanaba and Panji Tejo Laksono immediately breathed a sigh of relief as it escaped from the crush of their bodies. The banner of Tejo Laksono immediately sat cross-legged in front of the Maharesi Padmanaba who stood before him.

"According to the bet, then you must fulfill all my wishes, Duke Seloageng..

You won't break your promise, will you?", Maharesi Padmanaba stared at Panji Tejo Laksono who was still breathing.

"For a knight, it is my abstinence to renege on the promise I have made, Maharesi Padmanaba. I will do everything you ask", Panji Tejo Laksono said immediately. Hearing that answer, Maharesi Padmanaba smiled broadly as she turned towards Dyah Kirana who was bowed in shame. The girl's pretty face was flushed red, between holding back the embarrassment mixed with something that made her chest pound.

"If I may know, what study has the Maharesi Padmanaba just issued? Why can't I dwell at all when facing him?", added Panji Tejo Laksono while staring at the face as old as Maharesi Padmanaba.

The ascetic master of Mount Mahameru smiled faintly at the question of Panji Tejo Laksono. Sighing his old breath, Maharesi Padmanaba said,

"It was an incomparable science of magic, Duke of Seloageng..
