Old Supreme roars at his son to repeat his last statement. The Supreme again states that he now considers Ancestor to be his father. Everyone is in shock over The Supreme's outrageous statements. Old Supreme begins to speak but his voice trails off. Clearly he is very hurt by this latest revelation. 'Do you intend to betray your own father?', asks Old Supreme. The young Supreme replies back 'You yourself followed Ancestor until recently.. Barbarian chimes in also saying that everyone knows that Old Supreme and Ancestor are friends. Old Supreme turns towards Barbarian with a look of dispair but Barbarian isn't done yet. He demands to know why if Old Supreme knew that Ancestor was planning to steal the Golden Buddha and was capable of such large scale murder, why did he not tell anyone? The tide seems to be turning against Old Supreme. Somewhere in the midst of all this arguing Old Supreme suddenly decides that he will fight Tiger Wong and Barbarian for control of Global Cult. In fact he seems to like this idea of a two on one battle announcing with a smile on his face that it's 'fair and just'. From out of the crowd of Global Cult men Lone Kwoon Tin steps forward and tells Old Supreme that he will help. Old Supreme is pleased that someone is actually on his side. Adversity, he says reveals your true feelings. As you might have guessed The Supreme is not happy with this and considers Lone Kwoon Tine a traitor.

It's nighttime and there's a heavy downpour as the combatants leave the temple to battle. Old Supreme glances back at his son, The Supreme, but finds nothing but a cold sneer. There will be one more pair of fights to settle old scores. Tiger Wong will take on Lone Kwoon Tin and Old Supreme will battle Barbarian. The Supreme is convinced that Lone Kwoon Tin will prevail after all Lone fought Barbarian to a draw and given that Barbarian is more powerful than Tiger Wong it would be logical to assume that Lone Kwoon Tin is also more powerful. Each combatent raises his inner power, Tiger with his Nine Suns Kung Fu and Lone Kwoon Tin with Taoist Achievement As Tiger Wong stares at his hated foe he remembers back to all his friends and allies who lost their lives because of Lone Kwoon Tin including Sad Administrator, Four-Eyed Ming and White Beau. Tiger is the first to attack, leaping into the air with Dragon in Ninth Heaven he strikes fast and hard but misses with every kick. On the sidelines The Supreme takes notice of the improvement in Tiger Wong speed and power. Lone connects with a palm but gets struck with a foot to the face knocking him backwards. Lone Kwoon Tin charges forward but gets deflected by a kick. He leaps up and over Tiger Wong dropping down behind but Tiger moves out of the way of any strike. Tiger swings backwards but misses as Lone jumps over him again. The relentless Lone Kwoon Tin moves right into his next attack missing with a finger strike but taking several kicks to the head sending him flying through the air. So far the fight has been all Tiger Wong and Lone looks shocked. He's knocked back again but not before sneaking in a finger rake to Tiger's side. The two rush forward ending up in a veritable vortex of action. Lone is kicked to the ground but jumps right back up only to take a kick to the face and another to the gut. Flipping backwards Lone slips in a kick to the back but receives yet another to the gut and a crushing kick to the chin. Tiger Wong leaps forward with a spinning kick that sends Lone flying to the ground.

I am shocked at how badely Lone Kwoon Tin is doing. If I was asked to rank the fighter's abilities I would have put Lone ahead of Tiger Wong but it sure doesn't look that way from this fight.

Pardon while I switch to the other fight. The one between Old Supreme and Barbarian. Wasting no time, Old Supreme immediately unloads with a blast of energy that rips apart the ground around Barbarian. Barbarian tries to fight back with some punches but ends up getting slammed backwards.
