The Fragrant Wood Swordsman
pk 01 part 2

Suddenly there was a change in the choir. Birds chirping that was melodious, now turned full of shock and fear, a sign that something unnatural happened in that place. Then came the shadow of those who flashed quickly. Their movements were agile like giant birds and in the blink of an eye nine people had formed a fan circle in front of the grandfather who was residing within a distance of approximately ten meters.

The fact that these nine people can climb the summit, coupled with their movements, of course these are not ordinary people, but people who have high intelligence. When they leaped in front of the grandfather, their feet did not make a sound like the feet of a bird perched on a branch.

They stood motionless, but in a state of standby, setting up the horses in their respective styles, the entire nerve vein stiffened, eyes fixed on the grandfather and the sword lying in front of him. The sight of the eye sweeping across grandfather's face contained a deep hatred, even as the gaze of the eye swept across the sword, the hatred turned into an unshakable coldness.

Although the arrival of the nine saints was only marked by changes in the chirping of birds, it was already known by old grandfathers who were sitting together. He opened his two eyes and swept with a glance his eyes towards the nine people who were standing confining him in the form of fan circles. His mouth was smiling, not even showing any sense of wonder as if their arrival had indeed been expected.

There were also nine people when they met a second look with a sweep of his eyes, immediately becoming shocked and shudder. They find that eye view alone is enough to warn them that the grandfather they visit is getting older and more powerful.

"Sie Cun Hong...! I have come to receive your sword in lieu of your life which I should send to hell to let my heart's grudge against you be paid off!"

The grandfather turned his head to the right because the one who spoke this was the one who was standing the rightmost in that fan circle. His lips smiled broadly revealing toothless toothless mouth again, like the smile of an untoothed baby.

The woman who mentioned her name that she had not heard in years was a grandmother who was at least seventy years old. Her hair was almost all white, curled up small with a silver skewer.

His face still has not lost the look and shape of sweet, only the mouth that was certainly once very beautiful sweet is now a bit ‘nyamprut’ because it is not toothed anymore. His body that was once certainly high until now is somewhat bent and thin. The clothes are simple and green. From the front, a sword hilt appeared from behind his right shoulder.

"Heiii, are you not Lu Sian Cu? Ahh, your body may have grown old, but your spirit is really young, Sian Cu! Do you hold me in vengeance and now desire the sword of Siang-bhok-kiam as a substitute for my soul? Eh, in what way are you holding me?"

"Old bastard! Don't you think you'll be able to push me with questions to make me ashamed. I'm old, and all those present are great figures in the kang-ouw world, there's no shame in me confessing! Decades ago you used your cleverness to challenge me and rape me. My revenge on you is sky high!"

"Curtain, man without a heart! After that vile deed of yours, how can I still accept another man? I gave up my body and soul, but you refused and left me! You played with my love. You were supposed to be my husband, but you even mocked and left. Fuck, my grudge is as deep as the ocean as the sky!"

"Ha-ha-ha, you want to win by yourself, Sian Cu. In the past you already knew that I was a person who always wanted to be free, free from class, free from all ties including household ties! I have done evil, raped you, but the two of us, you and I, have enjoyed it together and what pleases others can you call the thing that hurts that person?"

"Sie Cun Hong! No need to say much more. Hand over your sword or give up your life!" While exclaiming so, the granny then took out her sinister weapon.

This weapon is a black whip, but not just a whip because at the end it is split into nine and at each end is given a steel hook like a hook eye. This is the nine-tailed whip weapon that has made this famous grandmother in the world of kang-ouw, because rarely an opponent can survive against her special weapon.

And the weapon is also what makes this grandmother nicknamed Kiu-bwe Toanio (Large Miss Nine-Tailed), a big name that is feared by criminals, an old woman warrior who is fierce and hard-hearted against criminals. For decades he has been known as Kiu-bwe Toanio and only now do the other characters present there hear his name called by his grandfather, Lu Sian Cu!

"Tar-tar-tar...!" The black whip whipped through the air and let out a loud, explosive sound. "Sie Cun Hong! Are you still stubborn and still unwilling to give up your sword?"

"Ha-ha-ha, you are still excited and fierce. My body is old, my spirit has been tempered, what if you want to help me free from the old body and this world, well, do it, Lu Sian Cu!"

The grandmother let out a long shrill, deafening shrill cry, which contained a sense of sorrow, disappointment, regret and hate because love was rejected. The whip struck forward so that three pieces among the nine had already slid towards a pair of eyes and the crown of the grandfather's head was still sitting cross-legged, now his left hand was raised, and his left hand was raised, his fingers flicked three times.

"Tring-trings-trings....!"

"Big.....!" Kiu-bwe Toania screamed and almost let go of his whip because three whips were hit by a flick of fingernail grandfather's hand suddenly flipped and lunged at him in three places, that is towards the breast and navel.
