The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Robbing Red Centipede
While Gumbreg grumbled because he had to stand guard at the house of Ki Sambang and Nyi Rawit with Tumenggung Ludaka, Panji Tejo Laksono bounces high into the air after tracing the land of Ki Sambang's yard. Together with Endang Patibrata, he landed on one of the branches of a large tree which is approximately 200 fathoms from the residence Ki Sambang.
Even though the night's darkness reduces the visibility of the eyes, from above Panji Tejo Laksono and Endang Patibrata can see clearly what is happening below. The light of the moon that is nearing the full moon makes everything clear. A terrifying sight was presented before their eyes.
A fat man with a thick mustache and a thick beard that covers part of his face to make his face look scary is ruffled waist while laughing. Red headbands adorned his head, as well as black clothes without buttons covered his stocky body. A necklace bobbed pendant shaped like a red circular centipede embedded in the neck of this man who was about 4 decades old.
In front of him, his men were facing a challenge from the village guards led by a Constable. But the guards of this village were no match for these robbers who had above average martial skills. In a short time, the guards of this village have been paralyzed by the men of the thick-bodied.
"I told you Ki Jagabaya..
You're not a worthy opponent to rob a Red Centipede. This is the result if you dare to fight us hahahaha", said the stocky man, laughing until his distended stomach swayed.
Phhuuiiiiii...
"It's better if we die than to see your evil run rampant, Mandawa..
I will fight with you to the point of the final blood!!", Ki Jagabaya twisted the keris in his right hand before running quickly towards the leader of the Red Rabbit Group. Mandawa the leader of the robbing group just grinned widely while taking a half step back to get ready.
Shhrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeetttth!!
"Let you die, Jagabaya!!", growled Mandawa, the leader of this robbing group.
The puncture of Ki Jagabaya keris is directly directed to the stomach of Mandawa. The thick-bodied man shifted his body position to the right side until the stabbing keris Ki Jagabaya only grabbed empty air.
Mandawa immediately swept Ki Jagabaya's foot with his right foot quickly.
Dhhaaasshhhh!!!
Ki Jadabaya who was not ready with the quick attack, immediately fell. Seeing his opponent fall, Mandawa immediately floated his legs towards the chest of Ki Jagabaya. The middle-aged man who is respected enough by the people of Wanua Panitihan village immediately rolled to the side to avoid stepping on Mandawa's left foot was just stepping on the ground in the courtyard of Lurah Wanua Panitihan's house with strenuously.
Ki Jadabaya who escaped death, immediately rose. With a quick movement of somersaults on the ground he again thrust forward towards Mandawa while swinging his heirloom keris.
Brreeeeetttthhh brreeeeetttthhh!!
Mandawa retreated step by step avoiding the sabetan kris Ki Jagabaya who was eyeing his feet. The thick-bodied man immediately tracked the ground hard and then saltoed once in the air while throwing a hard kick towards the back of Ki Jagabaya.
Bhhuuuuuggg!!
Oouugghhhhhh!!!
Without mercy, the old body of Ki Jagabaya directly suckled the ground violently towards the front. While groaning in pain, the man whose mustache was already growing gray immediately rose up. There was fresh blood melting out from the corner of his lips. Meanwhile, the new Mandawa who was tracking the ground was seen smiling cynically at the sight of it all.
"Kanuragan science as deep as the eyes of the feet just want to act like a hotshot pretender.
Ohhuuiiiiiihhhh!!
You still need to learn a lot if you want to be my opponent, Songkali (real name Ki Jagabaya)", said Mandawa contemptuously.
"I no longer need to study if I just want to beat you, O people driven!!", replied Ki Jagabaya as he again lunged forward towards Mandawa.
Hearing those words, Mandawa's anger instantly peaked. The words immediately reminded him of the incident 12 years ago when he was expelled from Wanua Panitihan after being found out about to rape the child Lurah Wanua Panitihan at that time. Since then, Mandawa has ventured to seek the science of magic so that one day he can take revenge on the villagers who have expelled him.
After traveling for almost ten years and studying with several warriors, Mandawa formed a group of robbers who named themselves as the Red Rabbit. He then launched his action by disturbing the peace of the community in the Pakuwon Sendung region which is the southernmost region of the Duchy of Lewa. He deliberately did not finish the lives of the residents around this region because he wanted to make them feel tormented by the shadow of the robber who continued to haunt their minds.
"That you are Songkali...!!!
Today I will also make you regret your words just now!!", cried Mandawa wrathfully.
Both of his hands immediately clenched tightly. From there appeared an unpleasant smelling white smoke that stung the nose. When the stabbing keris Ki Jagabaya pointed to his chest, Mandawa immediately moved dodging while grabbing the end of the keris with his right hand.
Achreeppppppph!!
Ki Jagabaya's eyes widened when he saw Mandawa directly grasping his heirloom keris with his bare hands. Even more so when Mandawa pulled the keris. Ki Jagabaya tried hard to defend his weapons. As a result, his body was pulled forward. At that time, Mandawa directly smashed his left hand palms in a blackish green light smoky white smelling foul towards the stomach of Ki Jagabaya.
Bllaaaaaarrr!!!
Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!
Ki Jagabaya roared loudly when the hit of Mandawa's left hand palm, the leader of the robbing group, beat his stomach. The middle-aged man slammed far back and hit the fence of Ki Lurah Wanua Panitihan's house. But the old man was still alive despite his miserable circumstances.
Not wanting his opponent to breathe again, Mandawa immediately darted quickly towards Ki Jagabaya who was rolled helplessly.
"Death to you, Songkali!!!"
When Ki Jagabaya resigned with the death that was about to pick him up, a bright red light with a stinging heat penetrated quickly towards Mandawa. The thick-bodied man was surprised not to play and immediately struck the fiery red light with his right hand palms covered by a blackish green light.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
A huge explosion was heard. Mandawa's body immediately slashed far back and hit the ground of Lurah Wanua Panitihan's house. The thick-bodied man immediately got up while rubbing the fresh blood that melted out from the corner of his lips while glancing at the two shadowy figures that slid down from the top of the big palanquin tree.
"Devil!!!
Whoareyou? Why interfere in my personal affairs? What's tired of living ha?", hardened hard Mandawa while shaking off her dirty clothes.
"Bored of life is not, but tired of seeing the work of pretentious humans who want to disrupt the peace of the community here" said Panji Tejo Laksono calmly after landing in front of Ki Jagabaya along with Endang Patibrata.
"Oh apparently someone wants to be a hero...
Tell me, who are you so that later the people of the Duchy of Lewa know who I have killed.", asked Mandawa while staring intently at the Panji Tejo Laksono and Endang Patibrata.
Hearing the nickname mentioned by Endang Patibrata, Mandawa was stunned for a while. He immediately turned his head towards his men who were busy collecting their loot.
"Kethik kethek....!!
Before you bring your results today, kill these two first!!".
Hearing the orders from their leader, dozens of Red Rabbit men immediately put down their robbers. All of them instantly unsheathed their respective weapons and directly charged forward towards Panji Tejo Laksono and Endang Patibrata.
Taking a step back to prepare, Panji Tejo Laksono and Endang Patibrata welcomed their arrival with their silat science. Panji Tejo Laksono uses his White Silat Science, while Endang Patibrata uses the Sword Science of his flagship South Sea Storm Dance.
Shhrreeettthhh shreeeeetttthhh!!
Dhhaaaassshhhh dhhiieeeeeeessshhh!!
. Aaauuugggghhhhh!!!!
In just a matter of a few eye jolts, ten Red Rabbit members were sprawled on the ground. Some were killed after Endang Patibrata's sword slashed their bodies while Panji's opponent Tejo Laksono was knocked over with broken bones and teeth falling out.
Mandawa's guts instantly shrieked at the sight. But as the leader of this robbery group, he, he was more concerned with his self-esteem and immediately lunged forward to the Panji Tejo Laksono which was surrounded by dozens of his men by smashing his right hand palm that was blackish green. This is a form of Ajian Treads Poisonous Snake learned from his teacher who has always been his mainstay science.
Whhhuuuggghhh!!
Panji Tejo Laksono who was wary of everything around him, immediately bouncy high into the air avoiding the impact of a blackish green light blanketed in an unpleasant smelling wind released by Mandawa the Red Centipede.
Bllaammmmmmm!!
Loud explosions were heard when the science of canuragan owned by Mandawa hit the bodies of some of his men who were behind the Panji Tejo Laksono earlier. The four of them were instantly thrown backwards and died with blackened bodies.
"Fuck you!!", maki Mandawa while staring at Panji Tejo Laksono who was now in the air and landed away from that place. The young prince from Kadiri smiled faintly before darting rapidly towards the leader of the Red Rabbit Group with his right hand having been engulfed by a fiery red light in a stinging hot air.
The speed of motion of the young prince from Ajian Sepi Wind possessed made it seem to disappear from sight and know-how had appeared before Mandawa.
"Now it's my turn!!", said Panji Tejo Laksono as he slammed his right palm towards Mandawa. The thick-bodied man with a fussy face was surprised not to play to see the arrival of the quick attack and hurriedly hit the opponent's hand with his right palm.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!
Mandawa immediately vomited fresh blood and slammed into the back. His body only stopped after hitting the wheels of a horse carriage owned by Lurah Wanua Panitihan. While trying to get up from the fall, Mandawa continued spewing fresh blood out of his mouth.
Hoooeeegggh!!!
Endang Patibrata who had just slashed the neck of one of the men Robbed the Red Cross and was not far from where the thick man fell immediately smiled meaningfully to see Mandawa the leader of the robbers staggered trying to stand up.
"You really choose the wrong opponent" said Endang Patibrata before crashing back towards the Red Rabbit men who were left only a few people.
"Uhhuuuukkk uhhhuuukkk...
Fuck you!! I will pit my life against you!!", cried Mandawa while exerting all of his remaining inner strength. After that he immediately ran towards the Panji Tejo Laksono while smashing the right hand palm towards the head of the prince.
Whhhuuutth!!
Mandawa seemed to forget that the opponent faced was not a swordsman. The banner of Tejo Laksono slightly ducked until the attack of the Red Cross leader was only a moment of snatching empty air on the right of his head. Tracing the hard ground, the young prince's body immediately shot out like lightning towards Mandawa. His right hand that was emitting a fiery red glow like flames instantly hit the chest of this stocky man who had been this troublemaker of security all along.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
AAAARRGGGGGGGHHH!!!
Only that was heard when Ajian Tapak Dewa Api owned by Panji Tejo Laksono beat Mandawa's chest. The thick-bodied man immediately bounced far back up to 5 spears away and suckled the ground violently. His body was instantly charred like a burning fire. He died instantly.
At the same time, Endang Patibrata also succeeded in ending the resistance of two men Robbed Red Cross with his sword slash. After that, he immediately walked up to Panji Tejo Laksono who was setting his breath after finishing the life of the leader of the Red Rabbit Group.
One by one the citizens of Wanua Panitihan who witnessed the fight emerged from behind their hiding place. Their faces were all instantly relieved when they saw Mandawa and his men killed by the prowess of Panji Tejo Laksono. Lurah Wanua Panitihan, Mpu Sangir and Ki Jagabaya who can still walk despite having to be papah by one of his surviving men, immediately approached Panji Tejo Laksono and Endang Patibrata.
"We thank you very much for your help..
If there are no you, we do not know what will happen to our residence" Mpu Sangir said respectfully.
"It has become our duty to eradicate injustice in this world, Kisanak..
It just so happened that we were passing in this place so we had to intervene" Panji Tejo Laksono said politely.
"Where do the two guys live? If you don't mind, we invite the two young warriors to spend the night at my residence.
We beg you to accept the swordsman so that this debt can be a little reduced" said Mpu Sangir a little forcing.
"All right then..
But two of my friends are still in Ki Sambang's residence. If you don't mind, I also want the two of them to accompany us", Panji Tejo Laksono replied with a smile.
"Oh yes of course not..
Wugu, Brass.. You two call these two young warriors home. Quickly, do not make them wait", ordered Lurah Mpu Sangir on two servants.
The two slightly fat and skinny people immediately rushed towards Ki Sambang's residence. As soon as Demung Gumbreg heard the invitation, he immediately stood up from his seat which was close to where the cow was.
"I'm finally free from the smell of cow dung.."
