The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Challenges of Danapati

The disciples of the Teratai Segara who were in front of the horse carriage immediately pulled the reins of his horse. Seeing the guard leader stop, the carriage driver immediately stopped the horse carriage.

Danapati almost fell out of her seat due to the sudden stoppage. The son of the leader of Padepokan Teratai Segara was immediately upset and immediately came out of the horse carriage with a sour face.

"Hey you, why stop a horse carriage as good as your udel ha? I almost fell because of you", Danapati glared sharply at the coachman.

"I'm sorry Denmas Danapati..

The front stopped suddenly so I had to stop our horse. Please Denmas Danapati understand", replied the coachman timidly.

Hearing that answer, Danapati immediately turned her eyes to the child of Padepokan Teratai Segara student who was in front.

Surely the talk of the coachman of the train, some are blocking their journey. Danapati immediately stepped towards the front.

"What is this?", asked Danapati to the children of Padepokan Teratai Segara who served in front.

"Something's stopping us, Denmas.. It seems like they have bad intentions", replied the student, pointing to Pringgalaya, who was standing in the middle of the street with dozens of students.

"Bad!

Hey who are you a stump? How dare you head our way huh? Don't you know who we are?", hardened Danapati while fiercely leaning towards Pringgalaya.

"Who do you think you are to think everyone knows who you are? Basic not sane", Pringgalaya replied no less.

"Fuck up!

If I tell you not to wet your pants, you're a dumbass. I am Danapati, son of Resi Danarasa from Padepokan Teratai Segara. Already know you now? Quickly kneel down and get out of my sight", cried Danapati immediately.

"The people of the Duchy of Mataram. It is only fitting to enter the territory of people.

This is Kalingga not Mataram. The rules here are different from where you came from so keep your attitude if you want to stay safe in Kalingga. Frog in the shell ", Pringgalaya replied loudly.

"That stump!

From now on I have been patient with you but your mouth is getting sharper and sharper. You have to teach me a lesson".

After saying so, Danapati immediately charged forward towards Pringgalaya. Adipati Aghnibrata's brother immediately attended the silat game of the eldest son of Resi Danarasa calmly.

Whuuthh !

Plllaaakkkkk !

A quick, lustful attack kills Danapati directly on the field with one hand by Pringgalaya. The leader of Golok Buntung University is indeed not a swordsman.

Ten moves passed but Danapati still could not land a single blow to Pringgalaya's body.

Danapati swept Pringgalaya's leg but the stocky man immediately jumped into the air while swinging both legs towards the opponent's head. Danapati quickly fended off her opponent's streak.

Dash ! dhasshhh !

Pringgalaya who landed on the ground quickly twisted his body while throwing a hard kick towards Danapati's back.

Bhhuukh !

Ouuuggghhh !

The hardness of Pringgalaya's kick almost made Danapati topple. But the young man immediately made a rolling motion to the ground and quickly stood up straight while grimacing withstanding the pain in his back which slightly made his breathing congested.

It's been Danapati's growling. Quickly the two palms united in front of the chest until a dim blue white light in the cold from both palms appeared. He wants to defeat Pringgalaya with Ajian Lotus Tread Shaking the Earth which is the science of the power of the Segara Lotus Padepokan.

Seeing the opponent preparing with a high level of canuragan science, Pringgalaya immediately pulled a large machete that lived half the blade from behind the waist. On the handle of the machete was a hole connected with a rope tied to the base of Pringgalaya's right hand.

Immediately Pringgalaya channeled his inner power on the machete until out the dim green pamor.

Danapati immediately slammed both palms towards Pringgalaya while shouting loudly.

"Now it's time for you to be slaughtered, stump!

Lotus Site Shaking the Earth ...

Chhiyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaatt !"

The loud shout coincided with two rows of dim blue white light in the cold rolled roll grabbed towards Pringgalaya.

Whhhuuugghh !

Pringgalaya immediately turned the large machete of her bundle with the help of a red rope tied to the base of her wrist. The machete spun rapidly around Pringgalaya's body, forming a dim green light shield that protected Pringgalaya's body. Without fear, Pringgalaya jumped forward into a bluish white light that shot towards her.

Bllaammmmmmmmm !!

A powerful explosion was heard as Ajian Lotus Tread shook the Earth in a clash with the dim green ray shield of the Pringgalaya machete. From the puff of white smoke created, Pringgalaya's machete spun rapidly towards Danapati's neck.

Resi Danarasa's son was overwhelmed by the unexpected attack. He quickly lowered his body to avoid the onslaught of the machete. But instead of being safe, from a different direction, Pringgalaya appeared by smashing his right palm.

Bhhuuuuugggh !

Aaauuuggghhhhh !

The hard blow that was lashed with energy in a high level immediately made Danapati thrown backwards while roaring loudly. At that moment also appeared a white shadow flashed quickly grabbed the body of Danapati who almost hit a large tree that grew on the edge of the highway.

Resi Danarasa quickly lowered Danapati's body. The young man vomited fresh blood. Soon Resi Danarasa took a few points of Danapati's pulse to help her.

After that Resi Danarasa looked towards Pringgalaya who stood upright while carrying a machete in his right hand.

"Golok Buntung...

Your name is in line with the fame you have. I'm not here to look for trouble with you but to propose to Duke Aghnibrata's daughter so please don't get in the way" said Resi Danarasa immediately.

Pringgalaya did not have time to answer, Songkali his disciple rushed to Pringgalaya. Songkali was assigned to be the liaison between Pringgalaya and Ayu Ratna. He had just come from the palace of the Duchy of Kalingga and got word that the princely retinue of Kadiri had been in the palace. Soon Songkali whispered something in Pringgalaya's ear that made the thick-bodied man surprised to hear her. He was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Are you sure you want to propose to Duke Kalingga's daughter, Resi Danarasa?", asked Pringgalaya immediately.

"True, Blank Swordsman..

I have come a long way to propose to Duke Aghnibrata's daughter to my son Danapati. I am sure Duke Aghnibrata will accept my proposal", replied Resi Danarasa with confidence.

"Too late you're Resi Danarasa..

Ayu Ratna's future husband from Kadiri has arrived at Kalingga's palace. Although he does not like it but I think my nephew will not have much choice but to accept it", said Pringgalaya with a faint smile.

Kaget Resi Danarasa heard Pringgalaya's words. Similarly, Danapati who had just stood up after successfully treating her internal injuries.

.

"Romo, this can't happen..

Ayu Ratna doesn't love that guy. Romo has to do something about this. If Ayu Ratna to marry someone else then I choose to die Romo", whine Danapati.

"Then I will still go to Kalingga's palace. After all it was only an arranged marriage and the daughter of Duke Aghnibrata did not necessarily agree to marry that person. Danapati son besides handsome also smart canuragan science, definitely more worthy for the daughter of Duke Aghnibrata.

Brother Pringgalaya, please do not block our way anymore", Resi Danarasa salutes Pringgalaya. Seeing the Golok Buntung Swordsman nodding, Resi Danarasa immediately stepped towards his horse carriage along with Danapati.

The party immediately continued their journey back towards the palace of the Duchy of Kalingga.

"Teacher, why did you let them go to Kalingga's palace?

Didn't the teacher know that the person who was betrothed to Gusti Putri Ayu Ratna was the prince of Kadiri? Is it not a problem?", asked Sundang the student while staring in wonder at Pringgalaya.

"Let the Danarasa Rishis face the guards of the Kadiri prince. He who is so proud of his son deserves a lesson that not all of those desires will come true.

After all this would also be a test for the Kadiri prince so that he could also maintain his pride.

Don't think about it anymore. We'd better get back to Padepokan Golok Buntung. Our job is done. The affairs at the Kalingga palace let be handled by the Duke of Aghnibrata", said Pringgalaya with a meaningful smile. He immediately stepped out of the place accompanied by his disciples.

Late in the afternoon, the party reached the palace of Kalingga.

Duke Aghnibrata received their arrival in the Duke's private quarters. The arrival of the Danarasa Resi was quite surprising to Duke Aghnibrata especially after hearing the narration of the Danarasa Resi regarding his wish to propose the daughter of Duke Aghnibrata as a wife for Danapati.

"Applicably you say, Resi?!", asked Duke Aghnibrata with great surprise.

"True Gusti Duke..

My desire here is to propose Dyah Ayu Ratna as a wife for my son, Danapati", replied Resi Danarasa in honor of Duke Aghnibrata.

"I'm sorry if that's your wish, I can't grant her.

My daughter Ayu Ratna has been betrothed to Panji Tejo Laksono, the eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana from Kotaraja Kadiri. Their entourage had also been silent in the guest hall of honor. So once again I apologize for not being able to grant this matchmaking request from you" Duke Aghnibrata said immediately.

"I knew that there was someone who was betrothed to Ayu Ratna, Gusti Adipati. But because the same matchmaking, not necessarily Gusti Putri will choose to marry the prince of Kadiri.

I just want Gusti Adipati Aghnibrata to be fair to his fellow suitors. And also please Gusti Adipati remember my services when the incident at Pakuwon Banjar 20 years ago. Let's just say this is Gusti Adipati's return to me.

Or put it this way, we just fought martial arts between my son Danapati and the young prince from Kadiri. The winner was entitled to marry Gusti Putri Dyah Ayu Ratna. I think that's fair enough", Resi Danarasa who is very confident with the ability of the Danapati martial arts, smiled meaningfully.

"If that is your wish, I will convey to Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono's entourage.

Now you guys please rest first in Repatihan. The palace's guest hall of honor is full of entourage from Kadiri.

Rexonoto, please,

You invited Resi Danarasa and his followers to spend the night in Kepatihan. Treat like a guest of honor. Do you understand?", Duke Aghnibrata turned towards Patih Reksonoto who was sitting cross-legged in front of his right.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Adipati", Patih Reksonoto immediately saluted the Duke of Aghnibrata and then stepped out of the Duke's private room followed by the Danarasa Rishis and his followers.

After they left, Duke Aghnibrata immediately rushed towards the guest hall of honor where Panji Tejo Laksono and his followers were resting.

Coincidentally, the recently finished Tejo Laksono Panji was sitting with his followers on the porch of the guest hall of honor. The arrival of the Duchy of Kalingga immediately made them stand up from their seats and salute the Duke.

After the Duke of Aghnibrata sat down and delivered the message of the Danarasa Rishis, Demung Gumbreg was immediately furious.

"Bad!

This can't be left alone. How dare they challenge the people of Kotaraja Kadiri Palace. We have to give the people of Segara Lotus College a lesson. Let the servant beat up the arrogant man, Gusti Prince ", said Gumbreg quickly.

"Patience, calm down, Uncle..

We cannot be reckless in our actions. Moreover, Gusti Adipati has explained to us that there is a good mind that must be reciprocated. Of course we have to give them a chance too.

Gusti Duke,

Please tell them to be ready. Tomorrow morning I will face a challenge from Danapati to defend the honor of Kotaraja Kadiri Palace. But once this is done, I hope that there will be no further problems" Panji Tejo Laksono said with wisdom.

"Hamba apologizes for the matter, Gusti Prince. At the same time thank you for the kindness of Gusti Prince who was willing to fight martial arts so that the debt of his life to Resi Danarasa could be paid.

Then I beg you to say goodbye", Duke Aghnibrata immediately worshipped at Panji Tejo Laksono and withdrew from the place immediately.

The night quickly changed.

Panji Tejo Laksono is busy enjoying a cup of ginger wedang made by Luh Jingga in the porch of the guest hall of honor. Gayatri and Luh Jingga were chatting with the young prince that night.

From the front, Ayu Ratna appeared from the direction of the gate with a hasty step approaching Panji Tejo Laksono. He who had just heard about the battle plan between Panji Tejo Laksono and Danapati was really worried.

"Gusti Prince, Prince,

Why are you so easy to agree with that challenge from Danapati? If anything happened how?", there was a tinge of worry in Ayu Ratna's voice.

"You dare to underestimate Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono. Let alone Danapati, Senopati Ranggabuana alone can not hurt her", said Gayatri with a sharp.

"I'm not talking to you. I spoke to Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono, not you", annoyed Ayu Ratna to hear Gayatri's words.

"Youyou....."

"Gayatri, already..

Gusti Putri need not worry about my safety. I'm sure I can handle it. You take it easy", said Panji Tejo Laksono dampened the emotions of Gayatri and Ayu Ratna.

"But Gusti Prince..."

"Gusti Putri should believe in the ability of Gusti Prince's martial arts. His high school magic kanuragan Gusti Prince is not a mere figment, so I ask Gusti Putri not to worry excessively", Luh Jingga cut Ayu Ratna's speech politely. This made Ayu Ratna turn her head towards Luh Jingga immediately.

"Alright I believe you, Nisanak. Thank you for calming my heart.

Oh yeah what's your name Nisanak? We have not been acquainted from before", Ayu Ratna smiled knotfully.

"I Luh Jingga, Gusti Putri. Princess Resi Damarmoyo of Padepokan Bukit Penampihan. I am the servant of Gusti Prince", replied Luh Jingga with courtesy.

"Wah the daughter of a silat college leader huh? Surely your kanuragan science is high", praise Ayu Ratna with a smile. He felt quickly familiar with Luh Jingga.

"Luh Jingga is not just a servant, but also a prospective concubine Gusti Prince. Queen Anggarawati's aunt has also approved it. I'm also of course", Gayatri quickly.

"I didn't ask you", when Ayu Ratna answered Gayatri. It seems that he does not like the Tumenggung Sindupraja's daughter.

"Kauuu hihhh" Gayatri was upset with Ayu Ratna.

"Luh Orange, really? You're really Gusti Prince's future concubine? Ah of course I would love to have a brother like you", Ayu Ratna smiled meaningfully while putting on her sweet smile.

"Wait for the Princess..

Do you not mind if you have to share your heart with other women if you marry me?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono as he looked towards Ayu Ratna. The Duke of Aghnibrata's daughter smiled broadly as she said,

"Of course not!"
