Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Yanggang Village

It's an ordinary little mountain village, nestled at the foot of the mountain, yet quite close to Lingjin City. While usually quiet and peaceful, it doesn't appear impoverished or desolate.

However, Yanggang Village was in complete disarray at this moment, clearly having undergone extensive searching and destruction.

All the people in Yanggang Village were gathered in an open space in front of the village, squatting on the ground with terrified expressions. The cries of women and children could be heard from time to time.

Among the crowd, only one family squatted together. Although their attire was similar, the scholarly and composed air emanating from the whole family was completely different from the others.

Even though the children were only a few years old, and their eyes were filled with unavoidable fear, they did not cry and waile like other children.

The most eye-catching among them was an elderly man with white hair, yet he was vigorous and had a particularly outstanding demeanor.

At this moment, the old man's brows were furrowed, and his wise eyes remained calm and still.

"How's it going? Did you find the person?"

Wang An glared at the soldiers who were running around searching and cursed them, appearing extremely impatient.

Amid his shouts, the soldiers ran even faster and smashed things even more enthusiastically.

Seeing that no one answered, Wang An angrily ran forward and kicked the woman squatting at his feet hard, knocking her to the ground. The two or three-year-old boy she was holding also rolled to the side, crying loudly in fright.

Annoyed by the child's noise, Wang An suddenly drew his sword from his waist and slashed at the child, cursing loudly:

"Shut up, you mourning bastard!"

Seeing the sharp blade about to fall on her child's head, the mother's eyes widened in horror. Without thinking of anything else, she rushed forward and shielded her child with her body.

With the woman's screams, the knife slashed a deep gash in her back, exposing the bone, from which blood gushed out.

Although the woman was in excruciating pain, she held the child tightly beneath her body and covered the child's mouth to prevent him from crying out.

Wang An's expression grew increasingly disgusted and vicious. He brandished his knife and gritted his teeth fiercely.

"What dares to dirty my blade? You filthy thing, you're truly filthy! Die!"

With that, he gripped the knife handle with both hands and stabbed the mother and daughter viciously, clearly intending to pierce them both with one blow.

All the villagers looked away, unable to bear the sight of the bloody scene that followed.

"stop!"

Just as the blade was about to pierce the woman's back, a cold shout finally stopped Wang An's downward thrust.

Wang An's sinister and venomous eyes slowly fell on the person who spoke.

Yes, it was that white-haired old man.

Everyone else also unconsciously looked at the old man.

At this moment, the old woman behind the old man unconsciously tugged at his sleeve and said in a trembling voice:

"Old man, you—"

The old man patted her hand and shook his head slightly, indicating that she should not worry.

Then, she slowly stood up, met Wang An's sinister gaze, and straightened her clothes.

Wang An chuckled with amusement, withdrew the knife from the woman's body, turned and walked towards the old man, raising the knife and slowly placing it against the old man's neck.

He stared intently at the old man, clearly trying to see fear and regret in his eyes.

However, the old man's eyes were like an ancient well, deep and still, showing no ripples, and were excessively calm.

This only enraged Wang An further, and he directly used his knife to cut a gash in the old man's neck.

His eyes remained fixed on the old man's eyes, but unfortunately, the old man didn't even furrow his brow.

Wang An was finally enraged. He slowly sheathed his knife and smiled cruelly:

"You old codger, what's wrong? Aren't you afraid of death?"

The old man spoke calmly:

"Under the clear and bright heavens, how can you treat human life so lightly? Aren't you afraid of retribution?!"

Wang An's eyes widened as he scanned the surrounding soldiers, and then they all burst into laughter.

Wang An laughed so hard he almost fell over, then suddenly stood up straight. His face, which had been smiling just a moment ago, was instantly filled with gloom, and he let out two sneers:

"Retribution, hahaha, retribution, you actually believe in retribution. I really don't know whether to call you naive or stupid."

The officers and soldiers nearby immediately laughed and echoed:

"They're just stupid, hopelessly stupid!"

"You lowly, filthy thing, so ignorant and stupid."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ What's the point of keeping this kind of thing alive? Just kill it, it'll be a good deed!"

······

A chorus of snickers and agreement made Wang An even more smug, and he stared intently at the old man, sneering:

"Old man, if I were you, I would kneel down right now, kowtow and admit my mistakes, and maybe I could leave you a whole corpse."

The old man's expression remained indifferent:

Kneel before me? Dream on!

Wang An was so angry he laughed:

"Old man, you're really stubborn as a mule! You don't have the ability, but you still want to act like others and stand up for yourself. It seems I really need to teach you the price of stubbornness!"

As she spoke, her gaze bypassed him and landed on the children behind him.

His sinister gaze terrified the women, who immediately shielded their children in their arms and glared at him warily.

The old man also sensed something was wrong, and his brows furrowed:

"what you up to!"

Seeing the change in his expression, Wang An suddenly became smug:

"Old man, aren't you fearless? Well, I'd like to see if you can remain so calm if I were to hack them to death, one slice at a time, right in front of you!"

As he spoke, he raised the tip of his knife and pointed it back and forth at the children, as if he were choosing which one to strike first.

The old woman suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, stood next to the old man, blocked Wang An's knife tip, and stared coldly at Wang An.

Wang An was repeatedly ignored by this group, and he was furious to the extreme. His voice was filled with gritted teeth.

"You old whore, since you're courting death, I'll send you to meet the King of Hell first!"

With that, he raised his knife and viciously slashed down at the old woman's neck.
