Once again my hands are bloody!

The elders at first didn't understand why Yang Ming had sent the spirit image crystals to their hands, but after they started looking through the contents their faces changed. Their serious expressions quickly changed to ashen and then to ones full of rage.

"Pfft… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" - Yang Min laughed, he was pleased to see how quickly the elders' expressions changed and especially the sixth elder, who until then did not believe any word uttered by Yang Ming regarding his wife cheating on him, and with their son at that.

*BOOMMM!*

The first elder reacted as someone of his status should have, after he looked at the contents of the spirit crystal image, he changed his expression to a wrathful one, but unlike the other elders, who would sit idly by for the possibility of being accused of treason, he reacted in a completely different way.

The whole event happened in a span of just a few short seconds as he approached his wife and then beheaded her on the spot, no one but a few people could even react to his crazy reaction, then he wanted to attack Bai Lin, but restrained himself because he noticed the look of Yang Ming, who said that he could not be touched.

Once again, the members of the Shui Clan were at a loss for words as they wondered in their minds, 'What was the content of the spirit crystal image to cause the elder to react in such a way?'

*CLOP! CLOP! CLOP! CLOP!*

Yang Ming clapped his hands a few times as he was amused by the reaction of the first elder because that's how it should be, at least that's what he would do himself, treason and betrayal should always be repaid with death, even in his past life Yang Ming always abided by his principles, although his previous life was much worse than this one.

"I haven't expected anything and I'm still disappointed" - Yang Ming whispered, looking at the other five elders, who silently swallowed the fact that they had been made cuckolds.

"Although, what to expect from a cuckold, that's their normal reaction," grinned Yang Ming.

While Yang Ming silently chuckled at the creatures whom he considered as wretched, suddenly Shui Han Yin raised her voice in alert.

"Yang Ming be careful!"

The sixth elder's wife had already realized that she had been exposed by the look on her husband's face, and remembering that she had put her life on the line, she had only two choices: one was to flee the clan and the other was to try to kill Yang Ming, the old man in black disappeared and she deduced from the conversation between them that perhaps Yang Ming had sent him on some mission. It was her one and only chance.

If she were in her normal state she wouldn't hesitate to choose the former, but her mind was completely clouded with hatred for Yang Ming, because of this man her whole house of cards she had built for herself began to fall apart.

So without even thinking about the consequences of her actions, she decided to attack Yang Ming from behind while he was in his thoughts.

Shui Han Yin was the first to react to the action of the sixth elder's wife, but despite her cry, she noticed too late.

The sixth elder's wife, Shui Wei, was in the later stage of Earth Ascension(2), she did not know what level of cultivation Yang Ming was at, but looking at his appearance, she could guess that he was no older than her son and therefore he must not have been too strong considering he was of younger generation.

In an instant, she pulled out a sword from her spatial ring, and did not hesitate to strike with all her might at Yang Ming's back.

*Clang!*

A moment before the blow her calm eyes returned to place, but even so, she succumbed to the impulse of anger and could not stop it anymore, Shui Wei hoped that with this one blow she could kill him, but if that was not the case then at least to cripple him.

But her expectation was not justified, her confident expression turned into a bewildered one, her punch contained almost all her strength and she felt as if she had struck not a human's flesh but an indestructible mountain, even her hands trembled slightly from the blow, while blood gushed from her lips.

At the same time, the edge of her sword which she used for a long time, for the first time got chipped and slightly cracked.

As for Yang Ming, although he felt the blow that Shui Wei dealt, it felt like a mosquito bite, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, even with all her might, she couldn't kill Yang Ming unless you consider decapitation.

"Stupid... Too stupid of a decision." - Yang Ming sighed, turning to face Shui Wei.

"Ah…" - Now Shui Wei finally realized how rash she had been when she struck Yang Ming from behind, she unconsciously took a step back as she felt her body become soft and heavy as each step required all the energy she could muster.

She couldn't understand what was happening to her, but if asked what it felt like, the answer would be simple - she could feel the terror that was coming from the depths of her heart.

"Mom, run away!" - At this moment, she heard her son's trembling voice, just like her, Bai Lin was too frightened by Yang Ming's strength, because his mother's cultivation level was one of the strongest in the Shui Clan.

However, as soon as she tried to run away her body froze with terror, she felt that death was looming over her, in one moment Yang Ming who was standing behind her suddenly appeared in front of her only three steps or so away.

"Aaah!" Shui Wei cried out in fright, while her face turned completely white as if she had met a terrible ghost, her hands trembled slightly and even the sword that should be in her hands fell to the ground.

"Young master, just now…" - She had already realized that death could no longer be avoided, so she wanted to start begging for mercy, which made Yang Ming even angrier. He hated it when an opponent who could fight refused to do so hoping for mercy.

If before he still considered keeping her alive just by crippling her cultivation, now everything had changed, Yang Ming was not going to listen to her hypocrisy anymore so without even letting her finish talking he indifferently extended his hand to her.

Shui Wei's mind was completely clouded with fear so she thought he wanted to help her up but alas she was deeply mistaken.

*CRACK!*

A terrifying cracking sound was heard by everyone in and around the yard, both of Shui Wei's arms were completely broken and bent at different angles in which arms were not supposed to bend. She collapsed to the ground bleeding a puddle of blood.

Yang Ming silently picked up her sword, which she had previously dropped and carelessly struck Shui Wei's neck decapitating her.

"Once again my hands are stained in blood," sighed Yang Ming while looking at his bloodied hands.
