Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities.
—But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive.
<...On the film set.
"drink--"
The burly man swung his hammer at the person in front of him, but the other man simply stepped back lightly, then raised his sword and deftly deflected the meteor hammer from his hand.
Immediately afterward, the young swordsman drew his sword, and with a clean and swift turn, a bloody gash appeared on the burly man's neck, blood spurting out.
"The boss——"
Upon seeing this, someone let out a shrill scream, and many more drew their swords and rushed towards the young swordsman in the distance.
But the next moment, a fan flew out of nowhere, and in a single glance, it sliced across the necks of several people, taking their lives. Finally, after tracing an elegant arc in the air, it landed back in the hand of the handsome young man.
In the corner, someone raised their hand, intending to ambush the handsome young man in front, but was instead stabbed through the chest by a female knight-errant who descended from the sky.
Immediately following, with a muffled thud as the hidden weapon was released, several more people were shot through the chest and collapsed to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, only the young swordsman in black, the elegant gentleman fanning himself, and the beautiful and spirited female knight-errant remained among the people standing there.
Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Liu Zhilin unfolded his fan to shield his eyes, his tone tinged with disdain: "I didn't expect they were actually hiding in the mountains here."
"This place is close to caves and streams, which makes it convenient for them to hide and conceal themselves, as well as for daily water use. If you follow the mountain streams upstream, you will naturally be able to find their traces."
Song Chenye lifted the hem of one of the corpses, and after saying these words, he looked thoughtful.
"Now it's all good, the tea stalls down the mountain will finally be free from the troubles of bandits."
Huo Wan'er put away the hidden weapon in her hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, and smiled.
"We never expected that the three of us would be able to join hands to eliminate evil and wipe out this bandit den that was ravaging the area. It is truly a fortunate thing."
Liu Zhilin closed the fan and said in a slightly raised tone, "Let's go down the mountain! It's time for that poor orphan and widow to start a new life."
Song Chenye suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Liu Zhilin stopped in his tracks.
Song Chenye squatted down and gently stroked the embroidery on the collar of the person on the ground. His tone was slightly cool: "Bandits roam this place. Since that mother and son were able to open a teahouse here, there must be something unusual about them."
"And although the leader's clothes were torn at the edges, there were obvious signs of mending on the inside, which is not the kind of handiwork a grown man would do."
At this scene, corpses were scattered everywhere, but not a single woman who might have been able to embroider could be found.
So who left the embroidery marks on the leader's clothes?
Huo Wan'er also came over and squatted down, her expression serious: "The embroidery is fine and the pattern is exquisite. It must be a work of great care."
A woman forcibly taken would never be given such meticulous repairs by such a heinous criminal.
Then it can only be...
“We’ve been tricked.” Song Chenye sheathed his sword. “But they’ve also shot themselves in the foot.”
Not long ago, Song Chenye and his group passed through this place and found a teahouse on the mountainside. Only a woman and her four-year-old son lived in the teahouse.
After learning that Song Chenye and the others were chivalrous heroes, she knelt down and begged the three of them to help her kill the bandits on the mountain and give her a peaceful life.
So Song Chenye and the others went straight up the mountain.
In retrospect, it was all a trap, designed to lure these hot-blooded heroes up the mountain to fight bandits, only to have them surrounded and become corpses in the mountains.
If it weren't for Song Chenye and the others' superior martial arts skills, which allowed them to kill these people, they would probably have perished here as well.
"Let's go, let's go down the mountain first."
Song Chenye said in a deep voice, "This place is not suitable for us to stay for long."

The filming of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" went very smoothly.
From inside the villa to the woods outside, the filming plan on the mountain was slowly coming to an end.
At the end of September, Xiao He explained the situation to Deng Lei and prepared to make a brief appearance on the set of "Cang Yue Jie" as a token gesture.
