What appeared were several knights of the Jiang family, who were clearly also here for the treasure that Gu Sheng carried. Elder Han's eyes flashed with a chilling coldness, and in an instant, his figure vanished, leaving only a faint afterimage behind.
"Whoosh—" A sharp sound pierced the air, and Elder Han had already appeared behind one of the Jiang family knights. His withered hand instantly penetrated the knight's chest.
"Plop—" Blood sprayed out, and the knight's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Elder Han, before slowly collapsing to the ground.
The other knights were shocked and hurried to draw their swords to attack Elder Han. Elder Han's strength far surpassed theirs—each time his figure flickered, it claimed another life.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Gu Sheng broke free from his bindings and attempted to escape. He had barely taken a few steps before Elder Han grabbed him firmly.
