Sky Crane sends forth a double palm of energy but is still blown backwards to the shock of the monks below. Ancestor pulls out a huge bag and shoves the golden statue right in. A furious Sky Crane attacks again but once more is sent flying backwards. Even Ancestor seems surprised by his own power. Where the statue sat moments ago Ancestor finds a golden book that had been hidden beneath. He laughs with a sound so powerful that the monks cup there hands over their ears to avoid the deafening noise. The soundwaves shatter the pillar that Ancestor was standing on. Ancestor leaps into the air to avoid getting caught in the crumbling wreckage and lands gently on the ground. When a handful of monks attack, Ancestor flings energy soldier towards them. Controlling it he slashes and kills three of the monks before catching his sword. More monks attack but are killed with no effort at all. Sky Crane ducks a beam of energy and meets Ancestor palm to palm. Anyone have a guess as to who comes out on top? Of course Sky Crane is slammed backwards into the temple wall. Ancestor sends his sword towards Sky Crane and nearly skewers his head. Ancestor finishes up with a kick that embeds Sky Crane right into the wall. As Ancestor makes his way to the exit he notices a huge statue of Buddha glaring at him accusingly. Not one to be scolded by anyone, Ancestor directs his sword to break the chain holding a chandalier near the statue of Buddha. The chandalier explodes into flames engulfing the statue.

Sky Crane must be the worlds most resilient monk because he starts hauling himself from the wall that Ancestor pounded him into. All the rest of the monks in the temple are dead. Sky Crane runs outside to an alarm bell and summons more monks. The rush to the house where Old Supreme is staying and demand to know where Ancestor is. The building wall craks open and out steps Ancestor. Sky Crane attacks Old Supreme until Ancestor rushes in and starts slaughtering the monks. Ancestor exhales a cloud of black poison killing all the monks. Ancestor and Old Supreme leap through the roof to make their escape. When the smoke clears the only monk left alive is Sky Crane who at this point is just about stark raving mad. The Supreme along with Chan Ou Wan, Incredible Chap and a couple more monks enter the room. In his crazed state Sky Crane lunges towards The Supreme with a palm strike but The Supreme is too powerful and inadvertently knocks Sky Crane right out the window and through the second floor railing.

I apologize, I promised a major character would die but I can't deliver. I was off by an issue, let's try next issue.

I need to establish something before I continue. I made a new discovery that explains a lot of things that happened recently and things that will happen in the future. Silver Chime is in fact pregnant. And who is the father? None other than Gold Dragon.

Luckily for Sky Crane, Barbarian happened to be outside to catch his falling body. When he sees The Supreme, Chan and Incredible Chap exiting the building, Barbarian angrily walks up and punches the Global Cult leader in the stomach. The Supreme misses with a finger strike and dodges an upper cut. Barbarian gets through with a strong knee to the stomach, then takes a backhand to the forehead. The two warriors finally stop their scuffle. It really wasn't The Supreme's fault, he only reacted to Sky Crane's attack.

Ancestor and Old Supreme are off in a cave somewhere examining the Golden Buddha that Ancestor stole. Ancestor takes the bag that held the statue and throws it right in Old Supreme's face. The surface of the statue seems unnaturally maliable even for an item made of gold. Ancestor pokes and prods at the statue. He even tilts the head back opens the mouth to examine inside. Then he pulls out a knife and makes a small cut into the forehead. A brilliant beam of light pours from the cut backing Ancestor right out of the cave. He charges forward intending to stab the Golden Buddha in the chest but Old Supreme urges him not to strike. Ancestor sits down and starts to read the Golden Book he found. Old Supreme begins to examine the statue when suddenly his forearms begin to swell. It seems as if the statue has some effect on him. The pain is so great that he begins smashing himself into the cave wall. After some moments he is able to clear out whatever affliction had taken hold.

Later, Ancestor has returned to an herb building near the temple. Three more monks are left dead.

Gold Dragon and Silver Chime are again sitting and chatting. Ancestor who was wandering back to his cave spots them. Gold Dragon senses a presence and raises his inner power but is blown right off the cliff. Terrified, Silver Chime asks the menacing stranger who he is. He simply replies 'Ancestor'. Without warning Ancestor reaches into Silver Chimes abdomen and rips the unborn fetus out of her body. Gold Dragon screams out her name as she falls backwards.
