KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Fire Whip (6)

“Fight on jan—aahhkk!”

The words of Karang Wilis changed with a cry of agony as a single open palm strike landed on the man's chin. Wilis' coral was thrown a few steps back with its mouth spurting blood. His body stopped rolling when it hit the walls of the Joglo Duchy.

Realizing his friend had been paralyzed, Sayekti who was still fighting with Darma Jaya subordinates shot towards the Manah Valley. A single sword slash nearly tore through the chest of the Manah Valley, if only the young man had not shifted his body to the left side.

Sayekti's attack contained a large amount of deep power, making the sound of wind roaring from the slash of his sword. The Manah Valley had only avoided every single Sayekti sword slash, the young man's stamina was still maintained despite having fought for quite a long time.

Until on one occasion, Sayekti dropped his sword and knelt in front of Manah Valley, then said, “I give up, swordsman!”

Sayekti's words surprised Manah Valley, but the young man was still on alert to anticipate a surprise attack from Sayekti, like his old opponent. According to him, Sayekti had run out of power within, the sword-bearer man also knew the limits of his body.

Sayekti's body is no longer able to serve the stamina of Manah Valley which seems never tired. Yes, the young man had a different inner power center point from most warriors, until his stamina seemed to never run out.

The Valley of Manah asked the three white warriors to guard and supervise Sayekti, so as not to attack again or even attacked by his herd.

Seeing their herd being easily crippled by the Manah Valley, the black-flow swordsmen shrank their guts even more. From the beginning they won the number, now arguably more balanced, even dominated by white warriors.

“Just kill you Darma Jaya!” Lokadenta swung his whip towards the sprawling Darma Jaya after receiving one punch of Lokadenta.

However, a black shadow grabbed Darma Jaya's body. The Manah Valley, which had just cleared five black warriors, shot towards Darma Jaya, which was almost hit by the Lokadenta whip. Looks like Darma Jaya has received some injuries from the heirloom whip.

“Less Ajar!” geram Lokadenta saw Darma Jaya rescued by Manah Valley.

“Thank you Valley brother!” Darma Jaya held onto her left chest which was hit by an heirloom whip.

The Manah Valley just smiled leaving Darma Jaya under the pendopo pole and preparing to face Lokadenta.

“Restore that whip on grandfather empu!” furious Manah Valley warns Lokadenta.

“Hoi boy! You better go home and help your parents garden, hahaha!” lokadenta mocked the Manah Valley. “From on just delivering lives!”

After saying so, Lokadenta swung his whip towards the Manah Valley. With a great inner energy, the tip of the whip lit up like a dragon tail preparing to lick anything in front of it.

One scuff was successfully avoided by jumping backwards Manah Valley, to make the Cambodian tree next to Manah Valley smashed into pieces. Lokadenta turned the whip over his head, then came another stroke towards the Manah Valley.

Again the young man could still avoid rolling to the side, until the whip hit the stone and then shattered into pieces. Long enough Lokadenta rained down on the Manah Valley with his whips.

While dodging the Lokadenta attack, the Manah Valley looked for ways to shorten the distance and approach Lokadenta. Because the heirloom whip makes Manah Valley difficult to attack.

Although it had opened the Second Gate, but if it was hit by the whip, the body of the Manah Valley would still feel the effect, even without injuring its body. That was because the fire energy contained within the Fire Whip of the Dragon Geni was different from the pure energy of the inner power.

“I know! Although this is a little crazy, but I'm sure it will work!” lirih Manah Valley who suddenly got an idea.

The young man was intending to put up a body and receive the Lokadenta attack, then immediately darted to attack the plontos-headed man.

Whaaat! This is a crazy idea!

Lokadenta turned the whip over his head, then attacked the Manah Valley. Without anyone expecting it, the young man deliberately put up his body to receive the Lokadenta attack.

“What!” Kartala saw the Manah Valley hit by an attack about to dart towards the young man, but the five Lokadenta subordinates had surrounded the drunk man.

So did Lokadenta, the man was surprised why the young man in front of him even deliberately put on a body and received one attack. When Lokadenta was shocked for a moment, the Valley of Manah pulled the whip from Lokadenta's grasp.

The Lokadenta whip was thrown, at that very moment the Manah Valley took advantage of the momentum. Although the heat was still felt on the left arm due to the heirloom whip, the Manah Valley did not care and still shot towards Lokadenta.

With the Second Gate still active, the Manah Valley rained dozens of blows on Lokadenta's body. From the face, chest, to the abdomen did not escape the attack of the young man.

Until one last blow, landing on Lokadenta's chin to make him thrown ten steps back with his mouth bleed. His body stopped floating when it hit one corner of the Duchy's Joglo wall.

“How could you—!”

“It's easy. I deliberately put up a body, in order to get close to you to attack!” the Manah Valley interrupts the words of Lokadenta. “I'm in trouble because the whip got in my way. So, this is the only way to get close!”

However, Sayekti suddenly grabbed an heirloom whip that fell not far from him and shot towards the Manah Valley. All shocked, Sayekti's movements were so fast that no one was able to stop the man.

One swing of the whip whipped towards the Manah Valley and it seemed that the young man could not escape as he was still conversing with Lokadenta. But what happened?

Sayekti did not attack the Manah Valley, but landed a whip on Lokadenta's body, right on his chest.

“That's a reply because you killed my parents!” sayekti said with a breath.

“What!” All were shocked by Sayekti's actions.

“He's helpless!” the Manah Valley Warns Sayekti. “Why still attack him?”

While recruiting Sayekti, Lokadenta had killed both of his parents. Sayekti followed Lokadenta out of fear, not out of sheer will.

Seeing that the leader had been defeated and helpless, the black-flow warriors dropped their weapons. The black stream warriors knelt down and gathered into one with their hands tied backwards.

“How are you, Valley?” exclaiming Kartala approached the Manah Valley and saw a blackened bruise on his right arm.

“It seems like no problem, elder!” sahut Valley Manah stroked his left arm. “Let's also recover!”

Kartala felt that the Manah Valley should have been severely injured after receiving the Lokadenta attack. Because the whip contained hot fire energy, but why did the young man only suffer from bruises?

Various questions required answers from a Manah Valley man, but the drunken old man ignored his intentions.

The Second Gate that protected the young man's body, until his body was shrouded in a black aura of deep power. Although exposed to Lokadenta attacks, but the study can reduce the pain it causes.

Although the Manah Valley still felt the heat of the heirloom whip, but the young man did not care about it, it would also heal by itself.

“Alright, elders, I beg permission!” said the Valley of Manah while bowing his body to Kartala.

“Wait du—!”

Not yet finished his words, the Manah Valley has jumped into the fence of the village pendopo wall and is lost among the lush trees.

“It's rare to find a young man like you, Valley!” Kartala looked at the trees where the Manah Valley had gone while breathing slowly. “If anyone hurts you, I'll stand in front of you!”
