Battle Against Chen Hai

"Where exactly is the exit?"

Lu Changsheng held the cauldron in his left hand and the lion cub in his right, anxiously searching for an exit within the crystal cave.

However, this crystal cave was far too complex, with branching paths leading everywhere, making it feel like a disorienting maze.

Before long, Lu Changsheng found himself back in the stone cave, seeing the same stalactite hanging upside down.

"Damn it!"

Lu Changsheng cursed under his breath.

Just then, laughter suddenly echoed from outside the cave.

"Hahaha! Big brother, we've killed the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion, so the Thunder Spirit Milk is ours!"

"Not good!"

Hearing the familiar voices, Lu Changsheng's expression changed slightly.

He hadn't expected the Lone Wolf Gang, led by Chen Hai, to have killed the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King so quickly!

"Found it! The Thunder Spirit Milk is in this stone cave!"

An excited voice called out.

Lu Changsheng was about to hide, but Chen Hai and his men had already entered the stone cave ahead of him.

As Chen Hai and his gang burst into the stone cave, they were stunned to see Lu Changsheng holding a cauldron in his left hand and a lion cub in his right.

They were dumbfounded, having never expected anyone to be inside the cave!

"Heh heh..."

As Lu Changsheng made eye contact with the Lone Wolf Gang members, he gave an awkward smile.

"Lu Changsheng?! What are you doing in this lion's den?!"

Zhang Meng was the first to recover, then shouted menacingly.

"Big brother, I get it! This guy must have snuck into the lion's den while we were fighting the lion king, trying to steal the Thunder Spirit Milk!"

Zhao Yuan exclaimed, realization dawning on him.

"Thunder Spirit Milk!"

At this moment, Chen Hai and the others' gazes fell upon Lu Changsheng's hands. They saw the milky substance emitting a silver glow within the Sky Swallowing Cauldron.

It was indeed the Thunder Spirit Milk!

Seeing the Thunder Spirit Milk, greediness flickered in Chen Hai and the others' eyes.

"Heh heh, you good-for-nothing, you're surprisingly cunning and sly. Sneaking into the lion's den while we, the Lone Wolf Gang, were fighting the lion king to steal the Thunder Spirit Milk, you almost succeeded!"

Chen Hai said coldly.

"Big brother, you absolutely cannot let this guy off the hook this time. Last time, the Ink Gang stepped in for him, but let's see who can save him this time!"

Zhang Meng sneered.

"Lu Changsheng, you're truly seeking your own death. Now that you've fallen into the hands of the Lone Wolf Gang, we'll make sure you suffer!"

Zhao Yuan added sinisterly.

"Oh really? I'm afraid your Lone Wolf Gang doesn't have the capability for that!"

Lu Changsheng said fearlessly.

Over the past half month of training in the back mountains, his strength had greatly improved. Although he was only at the third level of the Core Condensation Realm, he was confident he could defeat Chen Hai, who was at the sixth level of the Core Condensation Realm!

"How arrogant! Hand over the Thunder Spirit Milk and the lion cub quickly, and I might give you a swift end!"

Chen Hai said with a sinister expression.

"No!"

Lu Changsheng flatly refused.

"You're courting death!"

Chen Hai immediately became enraged.

"Big brother, leave this brat to me. Why should you dirty your hands dealing with such a weakling?"

At this moment, a lean and tall figure stepped forward. This slender youth was named Zhou He, and he exuded an aura of the fourth level of the Core Condensation Realm.

"Die!"

Boom!

Zhou He lunged like a fierce tiger, charging straight at Lu Changsheng.

"Eight Desolations Palm!"

Zhou He let out a sinister cry, then gathered spiritual energy in his palm and fiercely slammed it towards Lu Changsheng's crown.

"Hmph!"

Lu Changsheng snorted coldly, then clenched his fists, silver lightning arcs dancing around them.

Inside the cave dwelling, a muffled roar erupted. Lu Changsheng's Wind Thunder Fist surged forward, colliding with Zhou He's Eight Desolations Palm.

Bang!

The moment they clashed, Zhou He's face turned ashen with terror. Lu Changsheng's fist was incredibly powerful, almost shattering his palm strike instantly!

Cough!

Pale-faced, Zhou He was injured by the potent fist energy, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Under stunned gazes, he was sent flying backward, smashing into the stone wall and creating a massive crater.

Hiss—

Witnessing this, the Lone Wolf Gang disciples, including Chen Hai, were left gaping in shock.

Zhou He, at the fourth level of the Core Condensation Realm, had been instantly killed by Lu Changsheng in a single move!

How was this possible?!

"Third level of Core Condensation Realm!"

At this moment, Chen Hai finally noticed Lu Changsheng's aura.

"What? This guy actually broke through to the third level of Core Condensation Realm?"

Zhang Meng and Zhao Yuan couldn't help but swallow hard.

They remembered encountering Lu Changsheng at the martial arts field just half a month ago, when he had only just entered the Core Condensation Realm.

To think that in just half a month, he had advanced another two minor realms!

Even more terrifying was that Lu Changsheng, at the third level of Core Condensation Realm, had defeated Zhou He, who was at the fourth level, with such ease in just one move!

"Big brother, we absolutely cannot let this dog get away! He broke through again in just half a month. If we give him more time, even you might not be his match!"

Zhang Meng incited.

Hearing this, a fierce killing intent flashed in Chen Hai's eyes.

Today, no matter what, he had to completely eliminate Lu Changsheng!

Boom!

Chen Hai stepped forward, his aura at the sixth level of Core Condensation Realm erupting like a tidal wave, cracking the crystal beneath his feet.

"I'd like to see how many moves you, at the third level of Core Condensation Realm, can last against me!"

Chen Hai said dismissively.

Swish!

As soon as the words fell, Chen Hai's figure vanished like an illusion. This was precisely the Movement Martial Arts he cultivated, Misty Steps!

"Such fast movement!"

Lu Changsheng's expression changed.

Chen Hai's Misty Steps were likely no inferior to his Soaring Dragon Steps!

Boom!

Before Lu Changsheng could react, a fierce palm strike suddenly came from his left. Lu Changsheng, with his keen senses, quickly shifted to the side, causing the palm to miss its target and slam into the stone wall, shattering the purple crystal.

"Good reaction!"

Chen Hai sneered.

He didn't pause, immediately dancing his fists again and launching an offensive.

"Thunder Overlord Fist!"

Chen Hai shouted sternly.

His fists were instantly covered in silver lightning, and a violent thunderous power spread out.

Thunder Overlord Fist, this was a fifth-grade Yellow-tier martial skill, its power fierce and domineering. Chen Hai unleashed such a formidable skill from the outset, aiming to defeat Lu Changsheng swiftly!

Boom boom boom!

His fists moved violently, and streaks of lightning fists, carrying extremely violent energy, bombarded Lu Changsheng from all directions like a storm.

"Wind Thunder Fist!"

Facing such a fierce onslaught, Lu Changsheng did not evade. He chose to confront it head-on. His fists were also covered in lightning, and then the silver fists clashed wildly.

Clang clang clang!

As the two martial skills collided, the entire crystal cave trembled violently
