Old Du was dead, shattered into countless pieces, right in front of Yu Liang.
No one survives in a "shattered" state, not even the formidable Old Du. It only took one character charm to crush him effortlessly.
He caressed the "eye" character charm in his hands, much like touching his own eyes. He threaded the thin metal chain of Jiang Xiangdong's longevity lock through the character charm and hung it around his neck. This granted him a stable vision scene. Other than a lower perspective and a closer view, nothing changed.
From the very beginning, Yu Liang didn't aim to leave the zoo ahead of Old Du. His target had always been Old Du, or to be precise, the "vanish" character charm in Old Du's possession.
Given that Old Du held the "vanish" character charm, Yu Liang could not take any action against him. He only had one chance within five steps.
