Rajawali Sakti Swordsman

Asmara Death Bag. 4

Nek Ringgih stepped quickly with his mouth tightly locked. He followed him half-run. Although the old woman was old, and walking had to be aided by a cane, but her steps were light and quick as if not treading on the ground. Kajar who followed panting offset the old woman's steps. But not a single word came out of his mouth.

Suddenly the old woman's steps stopped. He pulled his hand back. His sharp ears could hear the sound of a broken twig being stepped on. His head is slightly tilted. His hand gripped the stick tightly.

"Hurry home, tell Pandan Wangi," said Nek Ringgih whispering softly.

"What's up, Grandma?" tanya Kajar did not understand.

"Don't ask too many questions! Hurry, before they come!"

Dawn who did not understand anything, just ran straight through the dense Double Mayit Forest. Along with the disappearance of the small body swallowed by the forest, four men appeared. Two of them were old, and two were young and handsome. But their eyes showed cruelty.

"Ki Japalu, what do you want to intercept me?" ask Nek Ringgih ketus.

"You can't be so good, Grandma Peyot!" grunts old man in ivory yellow clothes. The old man with the sword was named Ki Japalu.

Nek Ringgih can already feel the gelagat less well. He looked at Ki Sampar Bayu who was standing beside Ki Japalu. Two young men were behind the two old men. They are Segara and Pantula. The two young men were the children of Ki Japalu. Nek Ringgih realized that the four people were people who had a low level of intelligence.

"I was called to help one of the villagers of Watu Ampar Village. Should I refuse? My job is to help the sick!" the word Nek Ringgih remains taut.

"You may help the sick, Nek Ringgih. But not the people from Watu Ampar Village! I've warned you a few times, but you're still a wayward!" dengus Ki Japalu's.

"During my life as a healer, this time it was forbidden to treat people." murmured Nek Ringgih sneered.

"It is better that the old woman should not be loved, Kakang Japalu. He could endanger us all later!" whispered Ki Sampar Bayu slowly near his brother's ear.

Nek Ringgih who heard those whispering words, was instantly on guard. More to see Segara and Pantula moving to his left and right. Their hands were already holding the head of the sword hilt that was still hanging at the waist.

"I give you one more chance to live, Nek Ringgih," said Ki Japalu.

"My life and death are not in your hands!" sahut Nek Ringgih remained tight.

"You can't be lucky, peyot woman!" segara snapped furious.

"God! So sweet is your mouth, boy, has your father never taught you old manners?" the voice of Nek Ringgih.

"Damn! Killed you!" geram Segara Kalap's.

"State!" ki Japalu.

But too late, Segara who was quickly angry had hit Nek Ringgih while pulling out his sword. The old female medicine expert just tilted her body slightly to the right. The flickering of Segara's sword passed only a few strands of hair on Nek Ringgih's shoulder. Even unexpectedly at all, Nek Ringgih's feet drifted rapidly towards the young man's stomach.

"Guhy!" Segara complained short while bending his body. Not to mention Segara can eliminate nausea in his stomach, one sampok Nek Ringgih left hand made the young man toppled back. Red blackened Segara's face humiliated in front of his father. He snarled loudly, and directly charged back ferociously.

"State, stop! He's not your opponent!" exclaiming Ki Sampar Bayu loudly booming.

But Segara had already taken care of his ears. He could no longer measure the height of the sky and the depths of the ocean. His young blood bubbled hot upon hearing Nek Ringgih's delicate yet pitched words insulting his father. Segara showered the old woman with his swift and powerful sabetages But as Ki Sampar Bayu said, Nek Ringgih was no match for the young man.

Several times Segara attacks can be broken easily. Not even infrequently the young man had to fall awake hit by the stick Nek Ringgih. Within a moment, blood had already flowed from the corner of the young man's lips. His face and body were already bruised blue, and his clothes were dirty by the red earth.

"Hhh, he can die at the hands of the old woman," sighed Ki Japalu noticed his son was getting overwhelmed facing Nek Ringgih.

"Yeah...!" Suddenly Ki Sampar Bayu bounces profusely against Nek Ringgih. At that moment, the tip of Nek Ringgih's wand was already pointed towards Segara's chest.

Plaque! The palm of Ki Sampar Bayu reached for Nek Ringgih's wand. The old woman jumped behind some of the action. He snorted exasperatedly at Ki Sampar Bayu's cheating. Meanwhile, Segara immediately withdrew and was helped by his brother. Ki Japalu checked the state of his son's body. He laid his body under a tree. His breathing was wheezing, his whole body was in pain as if his entire bones were crumbling.

Meanwhile Ki Sampar Bayu stood tall with a defiant attitude. Nek Ringgih just looked at him with a calm attitude. But his eyes were emitting a great hatred. Nek Ringgih's calmness was also balanced with a vigilant attitude. He knows who Ki Sampar Bayu is. A very high level old figure. It's not easy to match his power.

"You all right, Segara?" tanya Ki Japalu worried about seeing the state of his son.

"My face, Father..," said Segara.

Twice Segara coughed, fresh blood spurted out of his mouth. Ki Japalu looked up at the black clot in the blood. He immediately tore the shirt off his chest. There is a picture of five black fingers on Segara's chest.

"Aji 'Toxic Root'..," sizzled Ki Japalu.

The old man snarled loudly. His eyes were instantly red burning. Apparently Nek Ringgih issued aji 'Toxic Roots' when facing Segara. Ajian is terrible. The person affected by the study will die slowly with a charred body like charcoal. And Segara's chest also began to blacken. That black color continued to creep slowly throughout his body.

"the west...!" geram Ki Japalu's.

The old man immediately jumped up with a mounting fury. Without saying much more, he immediately attacked Nek Ringgih with his mainstay moves. Even Ki Japalu directly deployed aji 'Black Coral Punch'. An ultimate science that is rarely used Ki Japalu. All of his fingers and wrists became pitch black. The rocks and trees that were hit by his blow were instantly smashed into dust.

Nek Ringgih who is already troubled to face Ki Japalu, increasingly overwhelmed by the interference of Ki Sampar Bayu and Pantula. The old woman was getting pushed away by three. Several times the punches and kicks of Ki Sampar Bayu and Pantula landed on his body. While Nek Ringgih still avoid direct clashes with Ki Japalu. He knew the awesomeness of that 'Black Coral Punch. There was no way he would match her with a 'Toxic Roots' aji'.

"Death to you, peyot woman! Hiya...!" ki Japalu shouted.

He immediately pushed both of his hands forward. And at that time also Pantula's legs managed to bang Nek Ringgih's back. Inevitably, Ki Japalu's two black hands landed heavily on Nek Ringgih's chest.

"Aach...!" Nek Ringgih shrieked shrillly.

Thick black blood spurted from his mouth. His entire chest slid in. Nek Ringgih is still trying to escape. But Ki Sampar Bayu even more quickly released his poisonous needles. Back Nek Ringgih shrieked loudly as poisonous needles pierced through his body.

Bruk! The body of the old female medicine expert collapsed to the ground. He was writhing while roaring in pain. His entire back was hollowed out by poisonous needles, and his chest slashed deeply with crushed bones.

"You must die, old woman. Huh...!"

Ki Japalu took Pantula's sword, and chopped off Nek Ringgih's body. Ki Japalu is like an equilibrium, his anger can no longer be controlled. Crushed already Nek Ringgih's body chopped like beef jerky.

"The back...!" Ki Sampar Bayu held the swing of the sword in Ki Japalu's hand.

"He killed my son! Let me chop him up!" geram Ki Japalu rebelled.

"He's dead, Kakang!" exclaim Ki Sampar Bayu while robbing Ki Japalu's sword.

Pantula received his sword from Ki Sampar Bayu's hand, and put it back into the sheath. Pantula immediately approached the corpse of her brother who had been charred all over his body. Segara died with a black body exposed to 'Toxic Roots'. Pantula looked at her brother's body which was slowly eroded into black flour.

"Rear..," Pantula's voice stuck in the throat.

Pantula turned his head when his shoulder was patted. Ki Sampar Bayu and Ki Japula were already standing behind him.

"Let's go," asked Ki Sampar Bayu.

"But, Kakang.., Uncle."

"Segara's dust will be washed away by the wind" said Ki Sampar Bayu.

Pantula is very heavy leaving this Double Mayit Forest. For a moment he turned towards Segara who had become dust. Little by little the flour body began to be swept away by the wind. With a heavy feeling, the young man stepped following the two old men who had already walked first.

********************

"Miss...!" kajar's scream instantly knelt beside Nek Ringgih's shattered corpse.

Pandan Wangi looked as if he did not believe in his own vision. It was tragic that the old woman died. Dead with the body chopped off. Only the head is still intact, while the entire body is no longer shaped.

Kajar cried as he lamented his grandmother's death. While Pandan Wangi can only be silent with eyes looking unblinking. Kajar lifted his head and turned to look at Pandan Wangi who was standing beside him. The eleven-year-old boy stood with his eyes fixed on Pandan Wangi.

"Who did this?" ask Pandan Wangi.

"Ki Japalu..," said Kajar choking.

"Who is he?" ask Pandan Wangi.

"Chief of Watu Ampar Village." "Hm..," Pandan Wangi muttered softly.

Pandan Wangi wanted to ask that to Kajar, but seeing the boy moody in grief, his intention was undo. Pandan Wangi released his shawl. He then collected Nek Ringgih's body which was chopped up like a jerky. The crushed body was wrapped in a blue scarf. While Kajar just looked at it with my eyes.

"Come, let's go back to the cottage," asked Pandan Wangi.

Kajar stepped without making a single sound. Pandan Fragrance so pity also see the child lethargic no longer passionate. Lost all his joy. Kajar stepped slowly with his head bowed.

"If only I had gone straight home, maybe Grandma wouldn't have been killed" muttered Kajar sighing softly.

Pandan Wangi looked at the boy who was stepping slowly beside him. There was a lot he wanted to ask, but everything was just buried in his heart.

"I had a peek. They are cruel. Grandma was gang-raped by three people, but Grandma managed to kill one person," Kajar told reporters.

"So they're two more?" ask Pandan Wangi.

"Three."

Pandan Wangi frowned.

"Everything is four. Ki Japalu with his two children, Segara and Pantula and Ki Sampar Bayu."

"Who Is Sampar Bayu?"

"Ki Japula's sister. He was very cruel, he also controlled Watu Ampar Village even though he was not the village head. Many lives have been lost. Grandma used to tell me that" Kajar told me.

"Then, why did they kill Nek Ringgih?"

"They wanted Nek Ringgih not to treat the villagers of Watu Ampar. Between them and Grandma had long been hostile towards each other. But Grandma did not care, still helping the residents who needed treatment from her. Maybe they got angry and killed Grandma," said Kajar, the louder his voice.

"Any...," muttered Pandan Fragrant. "If Pandan wants to know everything, just meet Ki Dandung. He's an old friend of Nek Ringgih, surely Ki Dandung knows the reasons why they are hostile to each other" said Kajar.

"Ki Dandung Watu Ampar Village as well?"

"The head of the village. Now Ki Dandung opened a small shop in front of his house."

"Hm, okay. I'll meet Ki Dandung later. Now we should immediately bury Nek Ringgih's body," said Pandan Wangi.

Kajar did not answer. He was silent as he continued to step up to reveal the prowess of the Double Mayit Forest. While Pandan Wangi kept thinking of digesting every word that Kajar said. He had not had time to return the favor of Nek Ringgih. Now the old woman is murdered. Should he just shut up, let the killer go free? Nah! Pandan Wangi was determined to avenge the death of the old woman of the medicine expert.

"Ki Japalu..," muttered Pandan Wangi sighed.

********************

The night is getting late. A black horse racing fast like the wind splitting the wilds of the Mayit Double Forest. The horseman was a beautiful woman wearing a blue shirt with a sword draped over her back. On his waist was tucked a white steel fan. It was clear that the black horseman was Pandan Wangi the Fan of Death.

"Hey! Hiya...!"

Pandan Wangi crashing the dark horse is getting louder. In a short time, the dark horse had already crossed the boundary of the Mayit Double Forest with Watu Ampar Village. Pandan Wangi continued to drive his horse quickly into the main road of the village. Several heads popped out of the window.

"Hooops...!"

Pandan Wangi immediately jumped down as soon as he arrived in front of Ki Dandung's shop. He looked at the closed shop. His eyes also circled around. Some of the windows of the house were closed by the owner. But Pandan Wangi knew that the villagers were peeking out from behind the window.

With steady steps, Pandan Wangi approached the shop. His eyes were fixed on the door of the store that was closed, and he stopped at the door of the shop. Three times he knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, the door of the shop opened. Ki Dandung stepped outside.

"Sorry, my shop is closed" Ki Dandung said kindly.

"I don't want to eat, Ki. I came specially to meet you," Pandan Wangi said was also friendly.

Ki Dadung looked at Pandan Wangi with a myriad of question marks on his head. This time he saw the girl. What business is he doing coming up these nights? Who is this girl?

"It feels like we've never met before" said Ki Dandung.

"Yes, Ki. My name is Pandan Wangi. Can I come in?" Pandan Wangi introduced himself.

"Oh, please."

Pandan Wangi stepped inside the shop. Ki Dandung just stepped in after Pandan Wangi was inside. Intentionally he did not close the door of his shop so as not to be flashy in the public view. Ki Dandung invited Pandan Wangi to sit down, then he took a jar of wine and prepared it for the girl.

"Please drink," Ki Dandung welcomed.

"Thank you."

Pandan Wangi poured wine into his glass, then drank it a little. The drink warmed his body. He knew that Ki Dandung provides fragrant wine that is expensive. The choice of wine from Watu Ampar Village is very famous.

"What do you need to find me for?" asked Ki Dandung to open his voice again.

"The problem, Nek Ringgih," said Pandan Wangi directly.

"Mr Ringgih...?!" Ki Dandung frowned.

"Mr Ringgih died this afternoon...."

"What...?!" like being struck by lightning, Ki Dandung was shocked to hear it.

The old man's eyes of the tavern owner swirled half in disbelief at the news of Nek Ringgih's death. He sat in front of Pandan Wangi. His eyes sharply stared straight at the girl's eyeballs.

"Here he just treated one of the residents here. Can I trust your news?" ki Dandung said hesitantly.

"His grave is in front of his cottage. He was killed by Ki Japalu" Pandan Wangi said.

"The monitor! Truly the beast of Japalu!" ki Dandung heard it. "Then why did you meet me?"

"Teacher told me to come here. He said you could tell me a lot about Ki Japalu. Frankly, I myself do not understand, why Ki Japalu killed that kind old woman," Pandan Wangi said frankly. "Do you know who Ki Japalu is?" ask Ki Dandung.

"Just a little" Pandan Wangi admitted. "He's Watu Ampar's Village Chief. His leadership is controlled by his younger brother named Ki Sampar Bayu. That's all I know."

"Then, what are you going to do after knowing why Ki Japalu killed Nek Ringgih?"

"Refaled his death. This is Kajar's own request," said Pandan Wangi firmly.

Ki Dandung shook his head several times. He knew why Ki Japalu killed Nek Ringgih. He also regretted the death of the old woman because of her as well. Had he not told his son to call Nek Ringgih to treat Gantar's wounds, it would have never happened.

"You better not interfere in this matter. They are not just people. Do not waste the life of just one wasted," said Ki Dandung trying to prevent the intention of Pandan Wangi.

"Why?" Pandan Wangi is getting curious. Ki Dandung did not answer. He stood up and stepped outside. Pandan Wangi also stood up and stepped outside this store. Several heads appeared to be poking out of each of his homes. Looks like they want to know the arrival of Pandan Wangi at midnight like this to the former village chief's house.

"Bawa Kajar here, let me take care of it," said Ki Dandung without turning to Pandan Wangi.

"You haven't answered my question, Ki," urged Pandan Wangi.

"I'll explain everything if you want to bring Kajar here" Ki Dandung replied.

"All right, I'm fulfilling your request. But you have to explain everything after I brought you here."

Ki Dandung did not answer. He turned around and went back inside his shop. The shop door was left wide open. Pandan Wangi looked inside the shop. Ki Dandung sat facing the wide open door.

"Hup!" Pandan Wangi jumped up onto the back of the black horse. Like an arrow coming out of his bow, the black horse immediately shot away as soon as it was crushed by its rider. In a short time Pandan Wangi had disappeared with his horse swallowed eight nights.
