Ancestor gets right in Gold Dragon's face and asks him
how he likes the taste of the poison. Enraged, Gold Dragon
retaliates but misses with a Heart Demolishing Drill.
Ancestor casually blocks a kick from Tiger Wong and
then assaults Barbarian with some more poison blades but fails to
penetrate his Ancient Electric Bolt. Using a kick called
Rolling Dragon in the Wind, Tiger Wong manages to block
the poison sent his way. Ancestor seems surprised to see
Gold Dragon still
standing so he runs over and punches him in the stomach.
Dragon is knocked way back but manages to stay on his feet.
Ancestor's punch leaves a huge dent in Gold Dragon's
abdomen. Dragon is again knocked backwards, this time it
didn't even appear that Ancestor laid a hand on him. Yet
again, Gold Dragon was able to take the hit. He runs over and
strikes Ancestor in the stomach with zero effect.
Ancestor catches a punch thrown at his face and begins to
squeeze Gold Dragon's hand. Grabbing his head Ancestor
rams Gold Dragon's face into the ground. He follows this up by
striking his fingers into Dragon's ears. When Barbarian
and Tiger Wong attack, Ancestor connects with a finger
to Barbarian's chest and another to Tiger's arm sending
both flying backwards into the firepit. Gold Dragon once again
struggles to he feet but as he approaches Ancestor he's
greeted with a healthy blast of poison right in the face.
Ancestor points and laughs as Gold Dragon's eyes reden
and his face swells from the poison. One more punch to the stomach
and Gold Dragon is sent to the ground. At this point he looks
really bad. Barbarian and Tiger Wong step out of
fire and look ready to go a few more rounds. Ancestor belches
out another cloud of poison but to no effect. Tiger Wong
blocks with his Nine Suns Kung Fu and Barbarian repels
it with his Ancient Electric Bolt. Gold Dragon is back
to his feet and looking much better. All three attack at once but
just cannot damage Ancestor. After knocking them all down,
Ancestor slowly walks over to the fire and shoves the whole
mess off the side of the cliff. Ancestor finds this all very
amusing, our heroes don't and together attack once again.

Ancestor even a single footstep. They take a moment to
recoup and open their veins to let the blood pass through. It's
become obvious that they are up against their most formidable
opponent ever. Gold Dragon realizes that if it's even possible
to defeat Ancestor they'll have work together. Laughing,
Ancestor asks why they haven't fled yet to which
Barbarian reply's 'You killed my sister'. Gold Dragon
adds 'We won't flee from the man who killed Silver Chime. For
a moment Ancestor is speachless as it dawns on him why these
men are persuing him. The three walk right up and surround
Ancestor. This time they will all strike at the same time.
Gold Dragon strikes with a claw while Tiger Wong comes
in with a kick but both are blocked and Ancestor STILL is able
to deliver a palm to the stomach of Barbarian. However,
Gold Dragon manages to sneak in a Heart Demolishing
Shovel to the ribs and it actually connects. When
Ancestor
backhands Dragon's face, Tiger sees an opportunity and
gets in a kick to the ribs. Ancestor rewards him with a finger
strike to the ribs but then WHAM. Barbarian lands a
super solid punch to Ancestor's back and another to his face.
The two fighters begin trading blows while Gold Dragon
goes for his shoulder separator. Dragon is forced back but
then Tiger jumps in. His shots are blocked but our heroes seem
to have finally gotten into a rhythem that's working. Tiger is
batted away and it's Barbarian's turn to connect. After
Barbarian is knocked down our heroes decide to regroup for a
moment.
