Grudge Breaker

Chapter 206: Mantis Catches Cicada (Part )
-
Ding Heran knelt on one knee to greet Zhuang Yuheng.

"If Miss Ruan at this moment is fake, then it is very likely that the injured young man is the real noble... He Ran failed to protect me, please punish me, Lord Yu Heng!"

Ding Heran is in more pain now than if he had died on the spot. From the failure in protecting Song Weichen to the replacement of Ruan Mianmian by a maid under his nose, let alone being the blue robe leader of Sichen Mansion, he now feels that he is not even as good as an ordinary person. He is so ashamed and wants to die...

"Don't blame yourself. He is just temporarily unconscious. The knife wound has not affected his internal organs. I have already treated him. He should wake up soon."

Zhuang Yuheng helped Ding Heran up, but it was not entirely out of comfort. Even if it was him, he might not be able to do better than him in such a situation.

"Thanks to your careful thinking and timely dispatch, the young man was able to escape from danger. Regardless of whether he is Mianmian or not, you did a good job. You are the one who truly saved his life."

"In any case, the magpie will be among these three. Keep an eye on them and wait for Tingfeng to come back and make the final decision."

These words made Ding Heran admire Zhuang Yuheng even more. This was indeed not the time to deny himself or belittle himself. There were still many important things waiting for him to deal with.
.
For example, the man in black has a strange identity and his origins remain a mystery.

Who does he work for? Why did he kill the "young man"? Does he have other purposes in the ghost market? Is it related to Sichen Mansion?
The information he had found about this person had already made Ding Heran very uneasy. He was about to go and meet him face to face when he was stopped by Zhuang Yuheng, "Have you found out the identity of the man in black? I'm a little concerned."

The two thought of going together.

Ding Heran hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell all the information he had at hand.

"The cloak he is wearing is a symbol of status that only a Class A warlock can possess. I heard that the cloak itself has restrictions, and it cannot be worn without Class A qualifications. But this thing has only been heard for so many years, and whether it is true or not remains to be discussed."

"That heavy sword is a family heirloom from a martial arts family that has disappeared for hundreds of years. It can only be obtained by the head of the family. Obviously, these two things are not ordinary things."

In fact, when the words "Class A Warlock" were uttered, not only Ding Heran, but even Zhuang Yuheng, showed a stern look on their faces that had never been seen before.

A-level warlock appeared in the ghost market? To be exaggerated, the probability of this is even lower than that of the Lord of the Mei Realm appearing in the ghost market in disguise.

There are no more than thirty-six Class A warlocks in the entire Mei World, and most of them have moved to the upper realms and rarely show up. In the past thousand years, no more than five people have been active in the Mei World.

Among these thirty-six people, there are three people for whom no information can be found at all. As for the other thirty-three people, Si Chen Mansion has information files recorded to varying degrees.

"I have all the information about the registered Class A warlocks in my mind, and this person is definitely not among them. Such a top expert seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and there is something weird about it."

Zhuang Yuheng also fell into deep thought after hearing this. Who exactly is this man in black? Is he really a Class A warlock?
Speaking of which, does this person have brains or not? If he doesn't have brains, even Si Chen Mansion can't find any clues about his identity and background. If he has brains, he is wearing such obvious clothes, is he afraid that others will not recognize his origin?

Or is there a third and more terrifying possibility, that this person is absolutely confident that anyone who can recognize his origin will never be able to tell his secret?
Wait a minute... If this person is really a Class A, how could he be captured so easily by Si Chen Mansion? Oh, it's possible. This is the place where the Ghost Market unloads magic. Even if he is a Class A, he will be killed in seconds if he doesn't have good skills. This is also one of the important reasons why Class A warlocks don't come to the Ghost Market.

All in all, the situation is becoming more and more chaotic.

……

Zhuang Yuheng rubbed his temples. "Is it possible that he also drank the shape-shifting potion? And that heavy sword is actually a high-quality replica?"

Ah this... Ding Heran's mouth twitched. He had never thought of this before. As expected of Yu Heng Jun, he was different after spending a long time with Song Weichen.

But if you think about it, it is possible... After all, in this day and age, even the green-robed leader of the Si Chen Mansion can be fooled by a little maid with just a few bottles of potion, so what is impossible... Ding Heran suddenly felt that his mood, which had just been lifted up and wanted to do a good job, instantly fell back.

Unable to come up with a better solution with Zhuang Yuheng, he decided to go to Qidong to confront the man in black face to face.

Just after leaving the canal and before entering the Seven Caves, a resentment-breaking master who was guarding with Ye Wujiu appeared quietly with multiple injuries on his body and grabbed Ding Heran.

"Tong Ding... Pingyang was attacked... requesting support..."

"what!"

Ding Heran was shocked. Could it be that the owner of the Ghost Market was playing a trick? On the surface, he deployed many manpower near the Seven Caves, but in fact, the real target was his master's body in the forest in Pingyang!
But with just these thugs in the Ghost Market, even if they had the intention to commit a crime, they didn't have the ability to do so. Especially after they left the Ghost Market and could use magic, how could they possibly hurt the resentment-breaking master of Si Chen Mansion?

"Are you from the Ghost Market? How could you hurt you like this?" Ding Heran supported the man with his backhand and ordered him to take him to get treatment.

"Two, A... grade."

As soon as he finished speaking, the resentment-breaking master showed an extremely painful expression, his body became as hot as magma, and then a blood mist exploded, and he fell to the ground and died.

! ! ! ! !

Why is it that the words "Class A" are so easy to pronounce? As soon as they are mentioned, we have to be very excited?!

How strong a wind must be to blow two Class A together at the same time! !

Class A warlocks have always been extremely aloof and arrogant. Almost all of them are obsessed with martial arts and magic, and they don't care about or are unwilling to interfere in worldly affairs.

Therefore, despite the existence of these thirty-six terrifying monsters, the unrest or peace in the world of Mei has almost nothing to do with them.

But if there is a one in a billion chance that they are willing to join forces, then they will be an existence that even the Golden Immortals in the upper realm may not take seriously, especially in the field of magic that they are respectively good at, where they have almost absolute advantage.

The so-called [Dharma Field] is divided according to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Each of them is the king but also mutually restrains each other - gold restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains gold.

If these lonely A-class warlocks are willing to work together, they can maximize the effectiveness of the five elements' mutual generation power - metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal.

In other words, if the Gold Element assists the Water Element, the mana energy of the Water Element warlock can be amplified dozens of times; if the Earth Element assists the Gold Element, the mana energy of the Gold Element warlock can be amplified dozens of times.

There are mysteries and endless changes here.

In theory, there are Class A sorcerers who practice both elements, but this is only theoretical. There is no such special existence among the thirty-six people currently known. They all practice only one five-element system.

[Metal] They are good at using weapons and can even manipulate the opponent's metal weapons to turn against them. They are extremely terrifying on the battlefield. If they want, they can go into the battlefield without weapons, but they can make the soldiers of the opposing camp commit suicide in an organized manner - unless they do not bring any metal weapons into the battlefield.

[Wood] is particularly suitable for fighting in the woods and among the grass. Not only are they good at manipulating plants, but their own self-healing ability is also like weeds, "withering and flourishing every year". Even if they are missing arms and legs, they can grow again after a certain period! They are really hard to kill. [Water] is good at manipulating all liquids, in addition to the common river and lake water, even including blood and liquid metals such as mercury. Of course, they are also very good at manipulating ice.

[Fire Element] In addition to the basic skill of burning everything to ashes, there is also a very special spell skill. They can manipulate anger and make a stable warlock suddenly become furious or even go crazy during training. This is their specialty!

[Earth System] This system of warlocks is quite special. They can move mountains and fill lakes, they can hide themselves by burrowing into the earth, they can control stones and split mountains. These are all basic actions.

Their biggest killer weapon is the "Four Seasons of Earth" - from the perspective of the Five Elements, wood, fire, metal and water each occupy a season of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but earth does not have a separate season. Instead, it is hidden at the end of the months of Chen, Xu, Chou and Wei in the four seasons. Each month has eighteen days belonging to earth, for a total of seventy-two days throughout the year, which are called "Earth's Prosperous Days" or "Earth King Days."

The most terrifying thing about the Earth-type A-class Warlocks is that during the "Earth King's Day", no matter who they fight against, they will never be defeated!
However, there were only two earth-class A-class sorcerers among the thirty-six people. Moreover, these two people had been "missing" for hundreds of years, and no one knew where they had gone.

……

Strictly speaking, there is one Class A sorcerer among these thirty-six people that Ding Heran is very familiar with—the predecessor Si Chen Ji Baishou.

He is a gold-class A warlock, full of military spirit like a cavalry of iron and steel leading an army a thousand miles away. If he is willing to go to the battlefield, he may not really have to fight alone against ten thousand. I am afraid that the enemy only needs to obtain the information like "there is a gold-class A warlock in the other camp", and a normal battle cannot be fought.

But let alone the fact that Ji Baishou was not there at the moment, even if he was there, he might not have a chance of winning a 1V2 fight against two monsters of the same level.

Ye Wujiu is a quasi-A-level sorcerer, the sorcerer with the highest magical power level in Sichen Mansion besides Mo Tingfeng, but there is still a big gap in strength compared to a true A-level sorcerer.

The combat power between different levels is almost ten times different, which means that one Class A can easily beat ten Quasi-Class A, and one Quasi-Class A can easily beat ten Class B.

This also means that the current situation is not a life-or-death situation for Ye Wujiu, but a situation where there is no possibility of survival! .
"Lord Yuheng, Wujiu has encountered some problems. I will lead people to reinforce him. The rest of us are at your disposal. I will leave this place to you! Heran will take his leave now!"

Ding Heran hurried back to the canal and entrusted the task of guarding the seven caves to Zhuang Yuheng.

He did not tell Zhuang Yuheng what kind of crisis Pingyang encountered. He must not be involved in this matter. Moreover, this place is the core of breaking the soul-locking formation. If Mo Tingfeng and Song Weichen's consciousness are to return safely, the seven caves must be guarded and no more accidents can happen!
"I'm here, go ahead."

Zhuang Yuheng could see that Ding Heran was extremely anxious and must have encountered something big, so he had to help him guard this place - not to mention the safety of Song Weichen and Ruan Mianmian, from another perspective, if he also followed Ding Heran, would it be a trap set by the other party to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

Without saying more, Ding Heran uttered a few rapid, hawk-like sounds, and the team of resentment-breaking masters who came to the Ghost Market this time, who were best at forming a defensive formation, automatically gathered at the entrance of the Ghost Market in a low-key manner, and followed him to the Pingyang forest!

Although Ding Heran is a B-level warrior, he is good at strategy and deployment. How can he be absent from this fierce battle? Besides, Ye Wujiu is there, even if he dies with him, he must go! .
As a result, after a cup of tea, he came back alone, entered the Seventh Cave without saying a word, and went straight to "Ruan Mianmian".

For some reason, she huddled in the corner, as if she was extremely shocked and frightened. No matter whether she was really doing it or pretending, at this moment Ding Heran only wanted one thing.

"Where's the puppet potion?! You must still have that stuff!"

"Ruan Mianmian" had a stupid look on her face, but when she realized a man was approaching her, she suddenly went crazy, kicking with both feet, swinging her bound hands and violently smashing at Ding Heran, yelling "Don't touch me! You damn bastard, you must die!" After a while, she seemed to be tortured by extreme pain, sobbing incoherently and repeatedly, "Please kill me, please..."

Ding Heran's eyes were bloodshot and he grabbed "Ruan Mianmian" by the collar.

"Listen carefully, Magpie. I don't care if you are really crazy or just pretending to be stupid. Give me those potions! Now!"

"Tell me where the potion is?!"

The door was kicked open!

A resentment-breaking master rushed in with a small bag, "Commander Ding! Found it!"

It was indeed the magpie's bag, the same bag skin that she had dug out from under the big tree outside the Ruan Mansion, but it had deflated a lot. After discovering that there was something wrong with the "young man", Ding Heran dispatched a team of people to investigate his past whereabouts in the ghost market in the man's appearance. Sure enough, someone saw him coming out of the house of the hunchbacked old man who sold strange stones two hours ago.

It must be said that Magpie is really the best in anti-reconnaissance awareness. She is well aware of the irrefutable truth that "the most dangerous place is the safest place."

The old man who sold the strange stones was listed as a key search target because she used him as a puppet before, and his house was turned upside down. As soon as the resentment-breaking master left, Xi Que moved back in, fed the old man drugs again, and tied him up in the basement, where she also hid her potion.

It’s a pity that the magpie has never heard the saying, “Everything that touches leaves a trace.” This is the famous “Rocard’s Law,” the basic axiom of modern forensics.

What she thought was foolproof was simply "not the right time yet".

In fact, from the moment she had the intention to harm others, her fate today was already determined.

Ding Heran didn't care about Xi Que at all at this moment. He rummaged in his bag and found two bottles of puppet potion. He picked them up and opened them without saying a word, walked to the other side of the room where the man in black who was watching the show the whole time was, pinched his jaw and forced him to open his mouth and poured the medicine in - the whole action was done in one go and was extremely smooth.

Class A Warlock... If they hadn't been in a place like the Ghost Market where they could unleash their magic, they might not have been able to capture the man in black. It really is a coincidence that this is the fighting power that has been delivered to their doorstep!
No matter who he is, the most important thing right now is to break the impasse!

The man in black's eyes became dull after drinking the potion. Ding Heran took out a dagger and cut the rope on his hands, but he did not move at all, and had no intention of escaping or resisting.

"I now order you to go with me to Pingyang Forest. There are two Class A warlocks causing chaos there. You must fight them to the death!"

The man in black nodded woodenly, and Ding Heran took him away quickly!

The entire Seven Caves began to shake noticeably again, with dirt falling down like an earthquake. The Blasting Resentment Masters guarding the house looked at each other with some uneasiness in their eyes. It seemed that there was also such a shaking when the "invisible to the naked eye" soul-crushing monster appeared before, but it was far less intense than it is now.

However, the crazy "Ruan Mianmian" had no reaction to the vibration. He was still huddled in the corner, staring at the position where the man in black had been before - he didn't expect that his whisper could break the defense of the magpie, which was as tenacious as weeds, and even cause a complete madness defeat.

Unfortunately, apart from the person involved, no one else in the world knows what he whispered in her ear.

The tremors became stronger, and the mighty mountain wall in the crescent-shaped canal began to slowly fall back. It was not difficult to imagine that after the stone wall completely fell, the vitality of this place would be blocked, and the gate of life would turn back into the gate of death. Zhuang Yuheng was guarding the canal with unspeakable worry. If Song Weichen and Mo Tingfeng's consciousness could not return before the vitality was completely exhausted, would they never be able to...

"No, no." He shook his head and said it unconsciously.

The ground shook violently again. Zhuang Yuheng didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually heard a roar similar to that of thousands of troops fighting in the canal. Although it was faint, it was thrilling!

"Weiwei, Tingfeng, where are you guys? Come back, come back!!"
