The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Battle in the Middle of the Sawah

There was no reply from inside the room of Gayatri nor any movement heard in Ronggo Pekik's ears.

After waiting long enough for Ronggo Pekik to immediately make his flagship canuragan science, Ajian Tread Iron God Sky which made him famous as the Iron Tread Swordsman.

A streak of blackish blue light with a fiercely rustling cold wind was created in the palm of Ronggo Pekik. The stocky-bodied middle-aged man grinned widely before releasing the Heavenly God-Iron Tread Ajian towards the inn wall.

"Campus you!"

Whhuuuuuggh....

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

A fierce explosion was heard when the blackish blue light of Ajian Sky God's Iron Tread hit the wooden wall of the Guava Flower Inn. The wooden wall was instantly shattered into pieces. At the same time, two black shadows darted swiftly leaving within the room towards the south.

"That's them!

Quick chase!!", shouted Ronggo Pekik who made his followers dart quickly chasing towards two black shadows which are none other than Panji Tejo Laksono and Gayatri. Ronggo Pekik overtakes them by exerting his body lightening science.

The chase between them took place in the darkness of the night. Even with only half the moonlight illuminating, they were still able to see the movements of their quarry well.

"Saw, man,

Why did you run away from them?", asked Gayatri who was still in the arms of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"I don't want the commotion that happened to provoke the attention of the soldiers of Lodaya Palace.

It is better to find a place far from the residential settlements to confront them", Panji Tejo Laksono reasoned as he continued to move south.

Amid the freshly harvested vast rice fields south of the Kembang Jambu Inn, Panji Tejo Laksono halted the pace. Quickly, Ronggo Pekik's men surrounded them.

"Have you given up apparently, little mouse?

Good then..

Joyos..

His head digger to be easily exchanged with pieces of gold. Hurry!", shouted Ronggo Pekik with his sly smile.

Hearing the orders of the Iron Tread Swordsman, Joyo immediately shot towards Panji Tejo Laksono by swinging his sword.

Shreeeeettttthhh!!

The banner of Tejo Laksono immediately pushed Gayatri's body away, then the handsome young man immediately ducked slightly avoiding the saber of Joyo's sword that was aiming for her neck.

As fast as lightning he hit Joyo's chest hard.

Bhuukkkhh! Kreeeeekkkkk!!

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!!

There was a sound of broken bones when Panji Tejo Laksono's hard punch hit Joyo's chest. The confidant of Ronggo Pekik staggered backwards while holding his chest that felt hit by a large block of wood. He instantly collapsed with his mouth spitting out fresh blood.

Seeing Joyo drop quickly, two friends of Joyo immediately shot towards Panji Tejo Laksono from two different directions. As soon as possible, Panji Tejo Laksono drew his sword to face them.

The banner of Tejo Laksono immediately twisted to avoid the slash of the sword that targeted his feet while fending off the sword that targeted his neck.

His red-colored left hand lit up like a fire directly smashed towards the opponent who was slashing at the foot.

Whhhuuuutttth..

A bright red ray of heat shot quickly towards the head of Joyo's friend who was aiming for the foot of Tejo Laksono's Panji. The ill-fated man did not have time to dodge when the red light burning with heat struck his face.

Dhhhaaaaaayarrrrrrrrr!!!!

Joyo's comrade's head exploded and fell apart after Ajian Tread of the Fire God released Panji Tejo Laksono had slammed into his head. His body immediately collapsed with blood.

One friend who managed to be held captive by Panji Tejo Laksono again poured his sword towards the young prince from Kadiri.

Using Shadowless Sword Science, Panji Tejo Laksono faced his opponent.

A member of Ronggo Pekik quietly moved towards Gayatri who was staring at Panji Tejo Laksono. He intends to finish off Gayatri's life without much talk. But he miscalculated.

Gayatri finds out that she is being targeted by one of Ronggo Pekik's men. The beautiful girl disguised as a man was slowly her mouth committed to reciting a spell. As Ronggo Pekik's men darted towards him, Gayatri's hand touched something bluish-white towards the neck of Ronggo Pekik's men. Night darkness that makes the vision unclear, clearly helps the movement of objects released by Gayatri.

Creeppphh!

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!!

Ronggo Pekik's men immediately roared loudly as the bluish-white object released by Gayatri cut the trunk of his throat. He collapsed and fell on his stomach in front of Gayatri. From under his body the blood slowly pooled.

Along with the death of the man who targeted Gayatri's life, Panji Tejo Laksono slammed his left hand palm towards one of Joyo's friends.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!

Friend Joyo who opened up a little of his defense, really did not expect that it would be the cause of his death. His right chest was charred by the impact of Ajian Tapak Dewa Api which was released by Panji Tejo Laksono. He died in front of Ronggo Pekik.

"You're the White Padas guy, the little mouse..

Good thing, all of you, I have my revenge for my defeat. Prepare to die", shouted Ronggo Pekik who immediately cupped both palms in front of the chest. A blackish blue light rolled in rolls in both hands of Ronggo Pekik along with a cold wind rustled violently.

Seeing that, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately sheathed back his sword. Then he quickly cast the spell of Ajian Tread of the Fire God by using two-thirds of his inner strength to face Ronggo Pekik.

Panji Tejo Laksono's hand instantly turned a fiery red after a red light rolled in both of the young prince's hands from Kadiri with the accompanying heat.

"The Sky God Iron Site...

Chhiyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaat!!!!!!"

Ronggo Pekik directly smashed his right hand palm towards the Panji Tejo Laksono.

Whhhuuugggh...

Selarik sinar biru kehitaman yang di sertai angin dingin berdesir kencang menerabas cepat kearah Panji Tejo Laksono. Pangeran muda itu menghirup udara sebelum menghantamkan tapak tangan kanan nya ke arah Ajian Tapak Besi Dewa Langit yang di lepaskan oleh Ronggo Pekik.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

A powerful explosion was heard as these two high-level flagship studies clashed. Ronggo Pekik was pushed back 2 spears while Panji Tejo Laksono was only 2 steps back.

With a huff, Ronggo Pekik wiped the fresh blood coming out from the corner of her lips.

"Rancid boy!

I still have not lost!!", shouted Ronggo Pekik while smashing his left right hand palm in a row towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

Whuuutt whuuthhhwhhuuuggghhhh!!!

Three blackish-blue rays were rushing towards Panji Tejo Laksono, but this time the young prince did not face Ronggo Pekik's attack directly.

The banner of Tejo Laksono clumped to and fro avoiding the cold Ajian Sky God Iron Tread released by Ronggo Pekik.

Blammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

Using the Ajian Sepi Wind, the Panji Tejo Laksono movement so quickly and agilely dodged the attack after the wrathful Ronggo Pekik attack. After the third blow, Panji Tejo Laksono made a back teeth movement which was one of the supporting footsteps of Shadowless Sword Science.

Ronggo Pekik who was confused by the movement of Panji Tejo Laksono blindly released Ajian Tread Iron God Sky into just any place.

Whuuutt whuuthhhwhhuuuggghhhh!

Bllaaaaaarrr!!

The explosion streak sounded. Panji Tejo Laksono with the help of Ajian Sepi Wind who had just avoided the blackish blue light, darted quickly towards Ronggo Pekik with a single stomp. This time his two blade sword had already been unsheathed from its sheath.

Chhrrrraaa...

AAAARRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!

After that, Panji Tejo Laksono smeared the remaining blood on his sword blade on Ronggo Pekik's shirt before she she sheathed back Begawan Ganapati's sword.

"Gayatri, are you okay?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono as he reclined the two-colored blade sword that Begawan Ganapati had given to his back.

"I'm fine, Taji..

Now what should we do?", asked Gayatri immediately.

"We go back to the Bamboo Flower Inn first, to take our things. But we have to quickly get out of there before this is heard by the Lodaya palace party.

You understand?", hearing the words of Panji Tejo Laksono, Gayatri nodded in understanding. With Ajian Sepi Breeze, Panji Tejo Laksono darted quickly towards the Guava Lodging.

Arriving there, they quickly cleaned their luggage and left a number of silver pieces on the bed Panji Tejo Laksono. That very night, after giving a piece of silverware to a peach or horse caretaker, Panji Tejo Laksono and Gayatri hurried to leave the Bamboo Lodging.

On that blind night, they rode fast west. Arriving at the western boundary of Lodaya City, they stopped their horse footsteps.

A large house near the boundary of the city of Lodaya appears still brightly lit.

"Saw, man,

We better stop here. I'm sure those people didn't think we were here either. The forest in front of us is dangerous. Many wild animals" said Gayatri while looking towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Hemmmmmmm you pretty memorized this area as well as it turns out.

Alright what's your next suggestion?", Panji Tejo Laksono looked towards Gayatri. Hearing that remark, Gayatri dyed looking for something. As soon as he saw a house still looking brightly lit, he immediately pointed towards the house.

"We can rest for a while in that house to wait for the morning.

Let's just say we're afraid to go into the forest before morning" Gayatri said quickly. Hearing that reasonable proposal, Panji Tejo Laksono nodded.

The two of them immediately jumped down from their horses and led their animal mounts towards the door of the wooden house that was still burning brightly.

An old woman with white hair with a silver konde stitch appeared to be sitting in front of two middle-aged women and a young woman. The four of them immediately turned their heads towards the door of the house when they heard the sound of footsteps approaching. The two middle-aged women immediately rushed towards the terrace of the house.

"Excuse Nisanak..

Sorry if we were disturbing. We were travelers from afar, wanting to head to the Duchy of Karang Anom but we were afraid of passing through the dense forest ahead.

Can we take a short break before the morning comes?", said Panji Tejo Laksono politely.

The faces of two middle-aged women were slightly surprised to see the beautiful face of Panji Tejo Laksono. The good looks of the young man reminded them of the arrival of a prince from Daha decades ago.

"Good, please,

Why was the face of this young man similar to that of the prince from Daha? You remember her right?", whispered a middle-aged woman named Nyi Wati to another middle-aged woman wearing a black kemben.

"Yes yes Kangmbok..

But not him. Just let him in Kangmbok Selasih. After all just hitchhiking for a while, right?", replied Nyi Selasih with a smile.

"Calc, Wati..

Why are you guys out there so long? Do you like to torture people by making them wait? Have the two men quickly enter", an old woman's voice came from inside the house.

"Ti-no Master, we're just looking for a breath of fresh air..

Well, young man please come in but before your horse-bond is there, be careful not to get too close to our medicine garden", said Nyi Selasih while pointing towards the horse that was beside the house.

Panji Tejo Laksono immediately followed the advice of Nyi Selasih, as well as Gayatri. After tying his horse's harness to the deck, the two of them immediately entered the house.

A woman aged approximately 6 decades was seen sitting on a wooden chair in the bale-bale of the wooden house. Highlight the eyes of the old woman still look shady, even though wrinkles rule her face. Her hair was bleached and in silver-hulled coils. The eyes of the old woman were immediately glued to the Panji Tejo Laksono who had just entered and sat with them.

"Hmmmmmmm..

Good boy, your face is no stranger to me. Where did you come from?", asked the old woman immediately.

"I am from the Northern region of the Panjalu Nini kingdom of Dewi, far in the North" Panji Tejo Laksono politely replied.

"Call me Nyi Kembang Jenar.

Your face reminds me of the face of the current King of Panjalu. The king of the bloated used to come here several times", replied the old woman who turned out to be Nyi Kembang Jenar, a friend of Panji Watugunung as well as a person who is very respected.

There is a sense of pride in what Nyi Kembang Jenar said to the heart of Panji Tejo Laksono, but because he was doing topo ngrame then forced to lie to Nyi Kembang Jenar about his identity.

"Ah Nyi Kembang Jenar was too complimentary. How could my face be as handsome as Gusti Prabu Jitendrakara? Nyi Kembang Jenar is far-fetched" Panji Tejo Laksono said with a faint smile.

"Ah I am old..

The night is late. We better get some rest. Wati, Selasih's...

Show the room to the two of them", Nyi Kembang Jenar ordered with a faint smile. The old woman was very confident in her vision, but she also did not force Panji Tejo Laksono to say it.

The night is getting late. Cold air descended on the territory of the Land Perdikan City of Lodaya until the atmosphere felt so quiet.

Next morning....

At the guest hall of honor of the Land of Perdikan Lodaya, Demung Gumbreg continued to pander in front of his room door. The chief high-ranking officer of the Panjalu soldier was ill at the thought of something. Sometimes he scratches his head as if trying to recall what happened last night, but the more he thinks, the less he meets what he wants.

"You why Mbreg? Kog pacing like a hen laying eggs?"

The sound of Tumenggung Ludaka immediately made Demung Gumbreg turn his head. Hunt him down to get close to his sidekick.

"Lu I turned Lu... I turned away" Demung Gumbreg said immediately.

"Could kog? How is the story?", Tumenggung Ludaka looked in wonder at Gumbreg. As he remembered his sidekick that never took off the bag of kepeng from behind his clothes a blink of an item.

"Yes the money given by Dhek Jum Lu, lost with his cloth bag" Gumbreg said limply.

"Didn't you have your money for the tayub saweran last night Mbreg? Don't you remember?", Tumenggung Ludaka reminded Demung Gumbreg. Hearing that remark, Gumbreg immediately patted his own eel.

"Dead me!"
