Lei Mingyu had no choice. He gritted his teeth against the pain and summoned the Wrathful Vajra again. He had also kept his wits about him: he only sent it to engage the Former Dynasty zombie, leaving the most troublesome opponent, the Night Watchman, to A Biao.
For a while, the battle nearby raged, sending sand and stones flying. Lei Mingyu watched the "Du Moyu" controlling the zombie, wondering how he could help his brother reclaim his body.
Chen Hao was already gone. He had to save Du Moyu.
With the talisman removed, the Night Watchman's aura eclipsed everyone else's. After only a few exchanges, he had A Biao completely on the defensive.
Yu Chengmu watched A Biao struggle to hold his ground without making any move to help. On the contrary, as if worried about being caught in the crossfire, he deliberately put some distance between them.
The Night Watchman seized an opening and clamped his hooklike nails around A Biao's right arm. With a vicious twist, he broke it. The sound of the bone snapping rang out clearly.
If A Biao hadn't reacted quickly, his entire right arm would have been torn off.
Putting together the various clues and what he was seeing, Lei Mingyu began to understand. To help Du Moyu reclaim his body, he had to destroy the door belonging to "Du Moyu"—in other words, this Former Dynasty zombie.
But there was a catch: he couldn't damage Du Moyu's body too badly.
This was the first time Lei Mingyu had ever fought such a frustrating battle, forced to hold back for fear of harming the hostage.
He couldn't waste any more time. A Biao was in bad shape and probably couldn't hold out much longer. Under Lei Mingyu's control, the Wrathful Vajra deliberately left an opening.
