Wu chuckled and quickly waved his hands, "This is business, we're merchants now. No need for you to plead with us, Old Du."
"Alright." Old Du could only nod, "If you need twenty, I have a better choice."
Hearing this, Yu Liang quickly untied the ropes around Old Du, retreating several steps. Even though all he had done was listen, he knew exactly what Old Du would do next and needed to swiftly move beyond the five-step range in which the character charm was effective.
"Break." Old Du muttered, as a character charm emerged from his hand and dove into Wu's right leg like a bullet.
"What?" A wound suddenly formed on Wu's leg. Screaming in surprise, he lost control and careened to his right.
Old Du hung a long-blade on his left waist. His right hand gripped the handle and he ruthlessly drew it out. The blade moved in an upward arc, directly confronting Wu as he toppled over.
"Zi——"
