Chapter 6 Task Completed

The foreknowledge information clearly told him that after the first Wolf Demon died, under the suppression of prison power, both the white-robed youth and the Wolf Demon would lose their strength.

If he takes action at this moment, there is a high chance that he could kill the White-robed Youth!

"The rewards of a four-star mission are much higher than those of a two-star mission."

"Moreover, the completion of the novice task will directly affect the subsequent activation of mainline quests and daily tasks. If I complete this four-star mission, what kind of mainline tasks will I get in the future?"

A gleam flashed in Su Nan's eyes as he thought about it, believing that it was all the more worthwhile to try this four-star task.

Whether he can complete it or not, at least there's a chance.

"Let's give it a shot; it's now or never."

Without any further hesitation, Su Nan gritted his teeth and made up his mind quickly.

Risk it all, and the bicycle will become a motorcycle!

He still remembers the player named Zhou Cheng on the forum who improved his Demon Sutra to the Great Accomplishment level within just three days of the game server launch.

If he could complete this four-star task at hand, wouldn't it be easy for him to surpass Zhou Cheng?

"Accept the task!"

At that thought, the task panel instantly changed, leaving only the third four-star mission after the first and second tasks disappeared.

[Kill the Uncontrolled Warrior]

[Difficulty: Four Stars]

[The prison you are in is called Kun Tian Prison, a specially built prison for imprisoning human bloodline warriors and some powerful demons. Here, both demons and martial artists have their bloodline powers suppressed.]

[This prison was originally filled with despair, but some warriors whose bloodline conflicts were about to lose control saw it as a place of hope. Here, the process of their loss of control has been greatly slowed down.]

[Not long ago, a spiritual-grade martial artist named Li Yuan deliberately let a demon capture him in order not to lose control, intending to enter this prison.]

[His plan was successful as he was incarcerated in the prison. Unfortunately, he underestimated the impact of bloodline conflict. Even with the suppression of the prison's power, he was gradually controlled by the evil energy of the demon within his bloodline. Once he loses control, everyone here will die, including you!]

[Task requirements: Find and kill the person about to lose control.]

[Task rewards: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, 30 Demon Power points, Technique Seeds.]

"So that's how it is."

Quickly scanning the task content and associating it with the ferocious look on the White-robed Youth's face, Su Nan thoroughly understood the situation.

Obviously, at that time, the White-robed Youth had reached the brink of losing control due to bloodline conflict. It was only after being influenced by the Wolf Demon that he completely lost control.

Su Nan did not make any rash moves, tightly holding the dagger in his hand and quietly waiting for the right opportunity.

Finally, after dozens of breaths, the two Wolf Demons were both heavily injured by the White-robed Youth and smashed against the wall of the prison cell.

Su Nan held his breath and braced himself with all his might.

The White-robed Youth didn't let the two Wolf Demons go just like that. He came forward with an unstoppable movement and ruthlessly slammed a palm at them again.

This time, the first Wolf Demon that entered the prison cell could no longer resist and had its skull shattered by the White-robed Youth's Palm!

"Aoooo...." With a companion dying, the second Wolf Demon let out an angry howl.

"Here it comes! The prophecy has come true."

Su Nan tensed his body, knowing that the opportunity that determined the success or failure of the task had come.

"Success or failure depends on this single shot!"

At the moment when the Wolf Demon was killed by the White-robed Youth, Su Nan had already rushed out like a cheetah.

The Wolf Demon's corpse fell to the ground, and a strange thing happened: in an instant, the entire corpse seemed to have all its moisture drained, turning into a withered, shriveled corpse.

At the same time, everyone in the prison cell felt a slight tremor in the cell, and the out-of-control White-robed Youth and the remaining Wolf Demon fell to the ground simultaneously. But Su Nan and the other two young men in the cell felt nothing.

Prison power targets those with bloodline power, so ordinary people like them are naturally unaffected.

The sudden change left the other two youths dumbfounded, watching everything in complete bewildered.

Almost at the same time, Su Nan had already reached the white-robed youth.

Lying on the ground, it seemed as though the prison's suppression of bloodline powers had caused the youth's uncontrollable state to improve. His swollen body visibly shrunk at a discernable rate.

If the white-robed youth were allowed to continue, he might have been able to break free from his uncontrolled state and return to his previous condition.

Unfortunately, he didn't have that chance.

"Die!"

With both hands tightly gripping the dagger, Su Nan didn't hesitate and fiercely stabbed the youth's throat.

He only had the time of one breath, so there was absolutely no room for waste!

The palm-sized, rusty dagger easily pierced the white-robed youth's throat.

Blood gushed out; the white-robed youth made choking sounds, his body violently struggling, and his eyes filled with resentment.

Su Nan's expression remained unchanged. In his hand, the tightly held dagger didn't loosen - he raised it again and fiercely stabbed down.

This time, the dagger pierced the youth's eye socket and plunged deeply into his skull.

As for such an out-of-control martial artist, Su Nan couldn't guarantee his seemingly deadly strike actually worked.

Blood flowed out from the pierced location, and he continued his actions, trying to strike the youth again.

However, this time, an accident happened.

The prison cell shook slightly again, and the power suppressing the bloodlines disappeared!

In the next moment, before Su Nan's dagger could stab down again, the white-robed youth had already smashed his arm fiercely into Su Nan's chest.

This was the youth's furious strike, and also his last bit of strength.

With this one attack, Su Nan flew backward, his chest caved in, fresh blood spewing from his mouth, and his vision rapidly blurring into darkness.

He was dead.

Just before dying, a smile appeared on his face.

In the last glimpse, he clearly saw that after the youth's attack, his arm fell limply, and his face was filled with unwillingness and resentment.

The youth also died, killed by Su Nan.

[Congratulations, the Novice Task has been completed.]

[Daily Task Activation, Main Quest Activation, please go to the Task Center to check the tasks and collect rewards.]

...

"Shit... How can this game be so realistic?"

The game warehouse opened, and Su Nan's face looked pale as he struggled to get up. Just now, he had vividly experienced the taste of death.

He had played many deep immersive virtual reality games before, but he had never experienced such a realistic game. It seemed like where he had just been was not a game at all, but a real world.

"This game is not simple. I'm afraid it won't take long to become popular." Su Nan had a premonition.

With his game character dead, he couldn't log in to the game today.

Glancing at the time, it was only nine-thirty. Even if he wanted to wait until midnight to log back into the game, there were still two hours left.

He decided to open the game forum to see if he could get any other information about the game.

There weren't many players in the forum, so there weren't many posts either. Most of them were from players complaining.

Su Nan casually flipped through them and, all of a sudden, a post with a lot of replies caught his interest.

"Merging with the second bloodline resulted in a bloodline conflict. I'm about to lose control, and my real-life body has undergone this change. Can someone tell me what's going on?"

The post was published at eight o'clock, just over an hour ago, but there were already more than fifty replies. This stood out in the quiet forum.
