Su Nan’s sudden arrival took Zhou Cheng somewhat by surprise.
After a brief moment of panic, he quickly calmed down and began to think about how to deal with Su Nan.
Su Nan didn’t know Zhou Cheng’s plan, but he had foreknowledge.
Far from being complacent because he had killed Zhou Cheng twice, he became even more cautious.
Not to mention that Zhou Cheng held the Rongling Disc, merely the fact that Zhou Cheng had completed the four-star mainline task was enough to command his attention.
The rewards of the four-star mainline task include the Demon Sutra, bloodline, demon power, and an additional special reward, which truly marks the value of the four-star mainline task.
Unaware of what Zhou Cheng’s mainline reward was, Su Nan did not dare to be careless.
He didn’t want his ship to sink in the drain.
[You have arrived at Cell 35 on the third level of the Kun Tian Prison, where a hidden Outsider awaits, whom you plan to hunt down.]
[This same Outsider also intends to hunt you.]
[You have just entered the cell, and the Outsider immediately summoned the power of Kun Tian Prison, which suppressed your bloodline and substantially weakened you.]
[Without waiting for you to react, leaning on his advantage in speed, the Outsider quickly launched an attack on you.]
[You didn’t flinch, choosing to use the Power of Divine Soul to launch a mental attack on the Outsider.]
[Regrettably, as the power of Kun Tian Prison had suppressed your Power of Divine Soul, the effectiveness of your Power was halved, only enough to cause a minor hindrance to the Outsider’s movements.]
“My strength was suppressed by half?” Su Nan was startled.
It was within Su Nan’s expectations that Zhou Cheng could use the power of Kun Tian Prison, but he hadn’t expected that Zhou Cheng’s ability would suppress his strength to such a great extent.
It should be known that Zhou Cheng is not the true master of the Rongling Disc, so the power he can utilize is quite limited.
Upon contemplating a moment, Su Nan arrived at a possible explanation:
“This must be due to the exceptional strength of the Kun Tian Prison treasure! Even when it only exerts a tiny bit of its power, it’s enough to suppress me.”
“No wonder the Dianxing Sect went to such lengths to get their hands on Kun Tian Prison.”
[You took advantage of this opportunity and tried to end the fight quickly. But before your attack could come close, the Outsider had shaken off the effects of your mental attack and swiftly evaded.]
[The Outsider used his advantage in speed to grapple with you. Surprisingly, both of you seemed evenly matched, with neither able to overcome the other. There’s no way you could hunt him down in such a short time.]
[Two minutes passed, your Power of Divine Soul was rapidly draining, and you began to grow anxious. Without the Power of Divine Soul’s assistance and with your bloodline suppressed, you weren’t a match for him.]
[Unknown to you, the Outsider was even more anxious than you. He couldn’t control the power of Kun Tian Prison for a prolonged period!]
[You wanted to leave the cell, planning to leverage your identity as the Wolf Demon Guard to attract other guards.]
[The Outsider spotted your plan and became even more frantic. In his desperation, he pulled out a piece of paper covered in densely packed, strange symbols.]
[This was an ancient human clan talisman used to store power, containing a sliver of a powerful person’s strength.]
[The Outsider affixed the talisman to himself, and his power surged, leaving you severely wounded.]
[The Outsider didn’t let up, launching consecutive attacks on you with a swift pace.]
[You died.]
[Just before your death, you realized that the Outsider could only control the power within the cell and not that in the corridor. You shouldn’t have entered the cell.]
“As expected, this guy had a backup plan. Was this his reward for the task? Or was it given to him by the person behind the scenes?” Su Nan was both shocked and relieved.
He didn’t expect that his foreknowledge would actually fail him this time.
“Truly, he is worthy to compete with me for the first place. Not to be underestimated.”
Su Nan sighed.
He had to admit: those who were able to rise to prominence in this game were all exceptional.
“It’s easy not to go into the cell.”
Su Nan had a plan in his mind.
Without entering the cell and only relying on the strength of the law-controlling class, he could still deal with Zhou Cheng.
However, before that, he needed to power up a notch.
14 points of demon power were consumed to enhance the Waterjet Fish Bloodline to Great Accomplishment, enhancing the overall strength of the law-controlling class.
“Strange, why isn’t he coming in?” Zhou Cheng prepared to fight at any moment.
Half a day passed and there was no sign of the Wolf Demon, an illusion created by Su Nan, intending to enter the cell.
Now, Zhou Cheng started to get anxious. He pondered on how to provoke the Wolf Demon to enter the cell.
Yet, in the next moment, a lightning bolt shaped into a Lightning Snake was launched at him.
Zhou Cheng’s face turned grim. He immediately tried to dodge, but just as he started to move, his head began to ache as if a big hand was stirring within his brain.
Crash! The lightning exploded, struck him squarely, and nearly made Zhou Cheng spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Before he could react, a Firebird attacked him immediately after.
“How can this be? Does he know I was going to deal with him inside the cell? Could he know what I’m thinking?”
Zhou Cheng appeared gloomy. It was clear to him that the Wolf Demon intended to bombard him inside the cell!
He couldn’t help but think of his first encounter with the Wolf Demon conjured by Su Nan.
At that time, it seemed like the Wolf Demon was baiting him to attack, which led to the loss of the Beast Bone Dagger.
“This Wolf Demon is too mysterious!”
Electric light and flames bombed him continuously. Every single attack hit Zhou Cheng squarely.
In the face of the Power of Divine Soul, his boasted speed was completely useless.
Zhou Cheng was unwilling but helpless.
He wanted to rush out of the cell to fight Su Nan, but eventually, he restrained himself.
Without the help of Kun Tian Prison’s power, he was no match for the Wolf Demon, unless he used that talisman!
