Awang turns up at the wedding ceremony and uses a spear given by Raja Bugis to kill Bachok. Bachok, fatally injured, grabbed the spear in his stomach and speared his best man. The man then speared the next man he saw and this was repeated until the 99th person was speared. It was Dayang's father who was protecting Dayang. He did not continue the repeated spearing and died.
