The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Time to Cut Off the Demon's Head

"Hey the food staller!!

If you speak politely, right? Your tone is very rude to my master.!", Demung Gumbreg snickered at the thick-bodied man with a face full of scars. He really did not like the attitude shown to his master.

"Why indeed?! This is my place. If you do not like to go ", the hardik of the owner of the food stall is no less fierce.

"You..."

"Sabar Mbreg patient.", said Tumenggung Ludaka trying to dampen the emotions of his closest friend, "We can not be provoked by the actions of this person..

Remember our purpose here".

"But Lu, he's so rude.. I don't like the attitude of his bow", Demung Gumbreg retorted at the subtle whispers of his best friend.

"Leave it..

We can't make a fuss with anyone else. Remember the great purpose we brought here", Tumenggung Ludaka added immediately.

When they were still upset by the actions of the food stall owner who seemed to underestimate them, suddenly..

Plokk plokk plokk..!!

There was a soft applause that made the entire food stall turn towards the source of the sound. A burly man with a dress like a swordsman but wearing a caping that makes his face not visible that sits on the corner bench of the dining room is the culprit.

Hehehehe....

There was the sound of a small laugh from this dark-clothed swordsman. The owner of the food stall immediately swerved sharply towards that person.

"They're not real stalls, Kisanak.. So you don't have to bother being confused by their attitude which is similar to that of a band of robbers.

Because in fact they were all members of the Manoreh Hill Demon group. This food stall is just a guise!", said the swordsman with a confident bamboo stamp.

Everyone in that place looked at each other as if they were talking to each other. Without waiting for the cue from their leader in that place, they all immediately pulled out the cleaver and sword hidden under the dining table.

They quickly surrounded Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends also the swordsman with the bamboo. The man with a face full of scars immediately rebuked loudly.

"Since you all already know our secrets, then you must die!!

Guys, kill them all!"

All the men and 2 spooky-faced women in the food stall immediately charged forward towards Panji Tejo Laksono and the bamboo-clad friends and men. A fierce fight soon ensued inside the food stall.

Two women and one man immediately surrounded Endang Patibrata, while Tumenggung Ludaka and Demung Gumbreg who had been ready from earlier quickly welcomed the arrival of their opponents.

While the man clapping the bamboo immediately threw two dishes from the clay towards the two thick-bodied men who moved towards him.

Dhasshhhh!!

The two people immediately fell down after the clay plate smashed into their faces. The two men behind the burly man immediately slammed their cleaver into the nape of the man's neck with bamboo.

Shhrreeettthhh shreeeeetttthhh!!

Agilely, the man clapping the bamboo immediately ducked until the slash of the enemy's second machete only grabbed the wind above his head. While tracing the floor of the food stall, the body of the burly man immediately slid in front of two supporters behind him. Two of his elbows directly hit the opponent's ribs.

Dhheeeppphh..

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!

There was a sound of a stifled roar mixed with screams of pain from the mouths of two people who supported the burly man. Although grimacing endured the pain, the two immediately rushed back to lunging forward towards this bamboo-clothed man. A fierce fight was inevitable.

On the other hand, Panji Tejo Laksono instantly shifted his body position until his opponent's sword slash managed to avoid him. When the opponent in the position of the horses are lame, the Duke of Seloageng immediately hit the left temple of his opponent as hard as possible.

Bhhuuuuuggg!!

The body of this man in his stature immediately fell down on the floor of the food stall and rolled around until he stopped hitting one of the stall poles.

Seeing his comrade being dropped easily, two large-statured people growled loudly while swinging their sharp jagged mace-shaped weapons towards the head of the young prince from Kadiri.

Whhuuuuuggh!!

From the corner of his eyes, Panji Tejo Laksono took a quick look at the attack. He seemed not to move a bit from where he stood until the two large-bodied men grinned widely.

"Modar kowe, motherfucker!!!"

But the two people immediately careless when they saw his attack just hit a dining table because suddenly Panji Tejo Laksono disappeared from his place.

Kkkkkkh!!!

The teak-wood dining table was instantly shattered apart due to the intense energy released by these two large-bodied people. While the two were still confused by the disappearance of Panji Tejo Laksono, a voice shocked them.

"Behind you, you idiot!!!", cried the man whose face was covered in scars that made the two men of great stature immediately turn around. But their eyes immediately bulged wide as Panji Tejo Laksono quickly hit their distended stomachs.

Dhheeeppphh!!!

Oouugghhhhhh!!!

There was a stifled gulp from the mouths of the two. The two people immediately staggered backwards while holding onto his stomach which was like new on a huge block of wood. Not to be relieved of it all, Panji Tejo Laksono floated a circular hard kick with his right foot towards the sinister face of these two people.

Dhhaaaassshhh dhhaaassshhh!!

No doubt, the two immediately fell to the floor of the food stall with a swollen face and 2 tooth rompal fruit. After knocking down the two big men, the other creepy-faced men looked at each other. Among them, the two men were their mainstay when there were prey they could not conquer. This made them instantly guts and immediately scattered out of the food stall to save themselves.

Seeing the loudspeakers blurred, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately turned to the man who owned the creepy-faced stall while grinning widely. The scarred-faced man instantly turned deathly pale.

Especially when glancing towards his other men. They had all fallen in an indeterminate direction while Tumenggung Ludaka, Demung Gumbreg, Endang Patibrata and the bamboo-clad man still stood tall after defeating his opponents.

"Now there is a scarred-faced old man, Ndoro..

"Let's just calm down, Kisanak..

I'm helping you to pry both eyes out. Later I will make it a display at home so that his spirit shines forever", added the burly man who increasingly made the scarred-faced man frightened.

"Pardon me swordsman..

Sa-i'm wrong. Kapok will not repeat it again. Ampuunnn.", the owner of the food stall hiba while kneeling in front of Panji Tejo Laksono and friends.

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

You were like the tiger of the king of the jungle. Snap people here right away. Now it's like a cat meowing for food..

Don't forgive Ndoro, we finely chop his body to fish in the river" said Demung Gumbreg who further added to the fear of the shop owner. His pants are wet too.

"Mbreg are you wetting your bed?

Kog like there is a pessimistic smell so.", said Tumenggung Ludaka while closing his nostrils.

"Just kid!!

I'm not the one who pees. But that scarred face did it Lu.. See if there is a puddle of urine underneath", Demung Gumbreg pointed to the bottom of the owner of the food stall who pooled urine.

"Dammit!!

Thankfully, I did not eat here. If I knew he was this slovenly, I would have been vomiting for a while", Tumenggung Ludaka soon said.

Panji Tejo Laksono and Endang Patibrata walked up to the owner of the food stall who was kneeling down with a face of fear.

"I promise I'll let you go if you answer my questions honestly.

Tell me, where is the nest of the Manoreh Hill Devil and how many of his men?", Panji Tejo Laksono stared intently at the owner of the food stall for wanting to ascertain whether he was honest or not.

"Eh anu it's me ehh.", stuttered the owner of the food stall spoke. He was worried about the safety of his life. All this time none of the warriors who dared to harass the Manoreh Hill Devil could go home alive. This could be the right choice if leaking the secret of his residence because it can expel Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends without having to go out of energy. But if until the Manoreh Hill Devil knew he was the one who betrayed him, his life would definitely be lost. This confused him to answer.

"Ona..

Quickly answer!! Or do you want us to add a wound to your bad face?", Gumbreg snickered the scab at the shop owner.

"Forgive the swordsman..

I-it's the Manoreh Hill Devil staying at Wanua Padangan near the Bening Swamp. If his men who live with him there are about 60 to 70 fighters who are highly trained" said the owner of the food stall quickly.

Hearing that answer, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately turned to look at Tumenggung Ludaka who was skilled at seeing the gestures of honesty of someone. High officer soldiers Panjalu burly with hair that began to be overgrown with gray hair this nods the sign of assuring.

Mmmmmm..

"All right, I believe you. Uncle Gumbreg, Uncle Ludaka, Nimas Endang Patibrata let's just start moving towards Wanua Pajaran", said Panji Tejo Laksono who made his followers move away from the place.

The scarred-faced man immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But it only lasted a little while. The bamboo-clothed man threw two small black dagger blades towards his neck and chest.

Shhrriegg..

Chhreeppppppph!!

Auuggghhhhh!!!

Hearing the groans of the owner of the food stall, Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends immediately turned to the source of the sound.

"They did promise to release you, but not with me Kaliguting!!", said the man in bamboo while releasing the bamboo caping that covered his entire face. The owner of the dying food stall (Kaligunting his real name) immediately glared wide at the figure of the man who was now in front of him.

"Sem..as you??!!

You're you.. hhoooeeegggghhh!!", Kaliguting the scarred-faced man vomited blackish blood which was a sign that he was poisoned.

"It's me Sembada.. Your former best friend who you betrayed and wanted revenge for my wife's death..

Now I'm a soldier of Lewa, Kaligunting. And while completing the old grudge, I also carried out the duty of Gusti Adipati Arya Menir to finish off the security intruders like you", Sembada said as he slowly stood up leaving the place where Kaliguting died.

After a short delay, the scarred-faced man died with a frothy mouth and a blackened chest. A small dagger smeared with White Scorpion Poison has been the cause of his death.

"So apparently you are a person of the Duchy of Lewa Palace, Kisanak?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"Hamba Senopati Sembada from Duchy of Lewa, Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono", Sembada knelt before Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Where did you know that I was Panji Tejo Laksono?", Panji Tejo Laksono looked at Sembada's face with a frown.

"In the martial world of Jawadwipa Land in the central and eastern regions, Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono is one of the two people who control Ajian Halimun.

I saw him and immediately knew that the panjenengan was Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono from Seloageng" Senopati Sembada said with a smile.

"You are indeed observant in seeing things and deserve to be a leader of the soldiers of the Duchy of Lewa..

In that case, I ask for your help to eradicate the Manoreh Hill Devil group that messed up at the border of Anjuk Farm and Lewa. Are you ready?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran" Sembada said while respecting the Panji Tejo Laksono.

The five of them immediately left the place. Senopati Sembada is a guide to the Wanua Pandaran region located in the eastern region of Pakuwon Caruban. Before entering the Wanua Pajaran area, some selected soldiers and a Bekel who had been prepared beforehand by Senopati Sembada joined Panji Tejo Laksono's entourage. From there they continued their journey on foot.

As soon as they approached the residence of the Manoreh Hill Devil, Panji Tejo Laksono raised his right hand as a sign to his followers to stop. Dozens of people holding sharp weapons appeared to be on alert around the residence of the leader of the security group.

Staring intently at the mansion, Panji Tejo Laksono said,

"It's time to cut off the devil's head!"
