"Ahhh—"
As the burly man screamed, countless onlookers drew their swords and charged at Shen Jue. Shen Jue immediately raised his leg and delivered a spinning kick, knocking the guandao (a type of halberd) out of the burly man's hand. Without hesitation, he severed the burly man's head and then kicked him hard again. The guandao flew out, passing through two henchmen and pinning them firmly to the pillar behind him.
Jiang Rushuai also descended from the sky, decisively charging into the crowd—
The two moved like a gust of wind, quickly reaping lives as they entered the crowd.
Amidst the flashing blades and clashing swords, only the endless spray of blood flew wildly.
He Miao was so excited she almost jumped up, watching without blinking as they joined forces to wipe out all the pursuers in the inn.
He's so handsome!
Is such an awesome fight scene really something she can watch?
He Miao even felt a little regretful that such a wonderful scene could not be seen in the cinema.
What followed was Jiang Rushuai taking advantage of the ulterior motives of various forces, using their strengths against them, and repeatedly escaping perilous situations.
The plot isn't particularly mind-bending, mostly consisting of fighting, but the character Jiang Rushuai is incredibly charismatic—no, to be precise, every character is captivating. Every character's fight scene is impressive, and the variety of weapons is amazing, making for a thrilling viewing experience. Everyone follows Jiang Rushuai as he escapes and searches for the true token and evidence, watching him drag several prestigious families from Jiangnan into the mire, ultimately finding the real Zhang Lin and obtaining the token and evidence.
—Yes, the person at the beginning of the story was not actually Zhang Lin. The burly man was just a small fry under Zhang Lin. Jiang Rushuai managed to fool everyone by using the head of this small fry.
Including the audience.
After all, they all thought Jiang Rushuai was just trying to help, but ended up getting involved in the incident by accident. As a result, Jiang Rushuai had already planned the next steps back when they were on the boat at the beginning!
Because of Jiang Rushuai's reputation as a bandit hunter, the bloodstained head had been sitting for several days, rotting and smelling terrible. At the time, Clerk Ma, covering half his face, glanced at it hastily, preoccupied with his master's instructions, and didn't bother to look at it any further. Later, when Jiang Rushuai fled, he didn't forget to wrap up all the heads he had brought with him and run away together. Clerk Ma thought that Jiang Rushuai was just as the saying goes in the martial arts world: greedy and shameless, and even if he didn't get the money, he wouldn't leave any heads behind. He never imagined that this was just a simple trick by Jiang Rushuai.
But it's too late now. Jiang Rushuai has already escaped with the real evidence. He must die here!
So, on the lake at dusk, Jiang Rushuai and several renowned bandit hunters began to fight, and gradually began to struggle. But just then, his friend Shen Jue arrived again, his pair of boning knives entering the fray with a bloody whirlwind, directly turning the tide of the entire battle.
He's father, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but clap and cheer.
He Miao's eyes lit up: "Wow, is Xiao He's swordsmanship really not edited in post-production? How can it be so amazing?"
He's father also praised, "So this young man's name is Xiao He? His knife skills are really impressive; he must be a trained martial artist."
He Miao shook her head: "I don't know, but they seem really capable!"

In the end, Jiang Rushuai did not take the evidence and tokens to the capital to hand them over to the important figures there.
He knew that if he took these things to the capital, not only would he die, but nothing would change. The current emperor was extravagant and indulged in wickedness, and he also bore a great responsibility for how Jiangnan had become what it was today.
Jiangnan is still the same Jiangnan as before, and the people are still living the same lives. All his efforts will be in vain.
So Jiang Rushuai was deceiving them from the very beginning, making them suspicious of each other, fighting and checking each other.
