The reason for this is not because Chen Anxia's Bengquan was stronger than Ruqinruhuo this time.
In fact, Chen Anxia's Bengquan and Aggressive Fire were both performed at full power in their normal state, so in terms of power alone, the two were about the same.
However, the two have different focuses. Bengquan (崩拳) involves injecting force into the body and then unleashing it, while Qiqianruhuo (侵侵如火) involves the force bursting out like a flame the moment it makes contact with the target.
The reason Chen Anxia used the Crushing Fist this time was because the physical strength of the cannibal in front of him was stronger than that of the previous cannibal.
If we continue to use aggressive tactics, the results will not be as ideal.
Without hesitation, Chen Anxia dragged the unconscious cannibal in front of him back to the side of the first cannibal.
There are currently about 3 minutes left before the first cannibal wakes up.
Chen Anxia originally planned to conduct the experiment after the first cannibal woke up.
Because Chen Anxia wanted to test the strength of the cannibal's mental will, this could only be done after the cannibal regained consciousness.
But now, Chen Anxia no longer intends to wait for the cannibal to wake up.
As for the reason, Chen Anxia did not expect that there would be so many cannibals in Tengxi Mountain.
Chen Anxia feared that if things dragged on too long, even more cannibals would attack.
Even if Chen Anxia possesses unparalleled martial prowess, he would still find it difficult to face the siege of numerous cannibals before he has the means to kill them.
Most importantly, Chen Anxia was worried that the commotion from the battle would attract even more powerful cannibals.
Chen Anxia didn't know where the plot was at, but he remembered that when Kamado Tanjiro participated in the final trial of the Demon Slayer at Tengshan, he encountered an extraordinary man-eating demon.
If the current timeline is before Tanjiro Kamado participates in the final trial of the Fujisake Mountain Demon Slayer, then it means that this extraordinary man-eating demon still exists in Fujisake Mountain.
This extraordinary cannibalistic demon is the Hand Demon, who has lived in Tengxi Mountain for over forty years and has devoured nearly 50 people.
The Hand Demon was captured and sealed by Urokodaki Sakonji, Tanjiro Kamado's master, during the Edo period. It is an anomaly belonging to Tengshan.
Given its strength, it should never have appeared in Tengxi Mountain.
Although Chen Anxia was confident that he could deal with ordinary man-eating ghosts, he was not confident that he could deal with the hand ghost.
Without hesitation, Chen Anxia immediately began experimenting with the cannibal's self-healing limit.
As for the experiment on the cannibal's mental will, that will be left for another time when there is an opportunity.
If the experiment is merely about testing the limits of cannibals' self-healing, then these two cannibals are sufficient.

Powerful impacts and cracking sounds rang out intermittently, making the already eerie and terrifying Black Forest even more horrifying.
Of course, this terror is from the perspective of humans.
For cannibals, behind this terror may lie the possibility of human blood and flesh that can increase their strength.
As a result, all the cannibals that heard this terrifying noise were attracted to it.
They wanted to see if the commotion was actually caused by human blood and goat food.
Meanwhile, a sea of wisteria blossoms.
Under Igarashi Ten's organization, the players present have united.
Perhaps it's because they haven't personally witnessed the horror of cannibals, or the tragedy of cannibals eating people.
So although they were afraid of this unfamiliar world and the monsters called cannibals, they were not deterred from entering.
While a large number of people can be powerful, it can also give one unnecessary boost of confidence at that moment.
This unnecessary overconfidence can also create the illusion that "more people means greater safety, more people means greater strength, and more people means greater success."
Under this illusion, players who were new to the place, whose curiosity about the new world outweighed their fear, began to stir and wanted to explore it.
Finally, one player suggested, "Staying here all the time isn't a solution. I suggest we explore the area around here."
Other players who were already itching to join in started speaking up after seeing someone take the lead.
“It’s nighttime now, and theoretically it would be safest for us to stay in the wisteria field, but I also think it’s necessary to go out and explore.”
"That's right. Although the night is dangerous and cannibals may appear, that's why we need to explore the area."
"Since we will inevitably encounter cannibals in the future, why don't we work together to find them as soon as possible and test their abilities ourselves?"
"I agree. There's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.'"
"Through that unknown beta tester, we learned some basic information about cannibals, but we haven't seen them with our own eyes or had any direct experience with them, which is definitely not good."
"Only by seeing and experiencing it firsthand can we truly understand cannibals, and only then can we know which path to take next."
......
These players' words shook the resolve of those who remained neutral, as well as some who remained opposed.
Undeniably, what these players said makes a lot of sense.
However, it's impossible for all players to agree with these players' opinions, and some players have voiced their opposition.
“I object. I think we should wait in the wisteria field until sunrise before we take any action.”
"None of us know just how powerful the cannibals are. Your proposed exploration could very well put us in danger, or even cost us our lives."
"That's right, you guys go if you want, I'm not going."
"I really don't understand you guys. There are safe places to go, but you insist on going to dangerous places to seek thrills."
......
Almost all the players present participated in this debate.
Only Ten Igarashi and the 12-year-old girl Seiko Oku did not participate.
Osaka Seiko's personality makes her somewhat aloof and cold by nature.
As for Ten Igarashi, he gained the support of most players due to his age and calm demeanor, and became the leader of this group of players.
At this moment, Igarashi Ten frowned deeply as he looked at the players who were arguing back and forth.
Igarashi Ten knew that this hastily assembled player team was far from united.
A lack of unity among the team members is a major taboo for any team.
In this dangerous world, a lack of unity is a major taboo. At best, it can cause the team to fall apart; at worst, it can lead to casualties or even annihilation.
Taking a deep breath, Igarashi Ten understood that his primary task was to find a way to unite people's hearts.
Only when people are united can a team exert its greatest strength.
Similar scenarios were playing out among the various player teams.
Circumstances create heroes. In a world as perilous as Demon Slayer, there will always be those who rise to the occasion and become heroes.

Under the coordination and discussion of Igarashi Ten, the player teams were divided into two groups.
A group stayed behind in the wisteria flower field and searched for necessary resources such as wood, water, and food.
The other group, led by Igarashi Ten, left the wisteria flower field to explore the surrounding area and familiarize themselves with the terrain.
Personally, Igarashi Ten didn't want to leave the wisteria field in the dark of night when cannibals roamed, because it was too dangerous.
Igarashi Ten was long past the age of acting impulsively.
But now he is the leader of the team, and he has the responsibility of a leader. He is willing to take risks in order to establish his prestige in the team and thus unite the people.
Because it was too dangerous, and because the operation was not suitable for a large group, Igarashi Ten only selected three seemingly strong and healthy teenagers from among those who agreed with the plan to go together.
To ensure their safety, Igarashi Ten and the three boys all wore bracelets and necklaces made of wisteria flowers.
Not only that, they each took an outer garment as a package and filled it with a large number of wisteria flowers, just in case.
After checking their belongings, Igarashi Ten, with a solemn expression, led the three boys toward the direction of the wisteria flower field.
As time passed, Ten Igarashi and her group finally reached the edge of the wisteria flower field.
Looking at the dark, gloomy, and terrifying silent forest beyond the border, the hearts of Igarashi Ten and his group couldn't help but pound.
Even the three teenagers who were eager to explore the outside world felt tense and fearful at this moment. Their bodies felt as if they were shackled, becoming restrained and heavy.
Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back.
After taking a deep breath, a resolute look flashed in Igarashi Ten's eyes. He took the lead in crossing the boundary and voluntarily stepped into the danger zone.
Seeing this, the other three exchanged glances and, steeling themselves, followed suit and crossed the boundary.
After crossing the border, Igarashi Ten and his group did not rush to act, but waited in place for a while. After confirming that there was no danger, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Ten Igarashi and his group officially began their exploration of the danger zone.
After traveling about a hundred meters into the danger zone, Igarashi Ten seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to look behind him, his muscles tense and his hands tightly clutching a package full of wisteria flowers.
Seeing this, the other three boys' hearts suddenly raced, and they followed suit, tightly clutching the package full of wisteria flowers. At the slightest disturbance, they would throw the package out.
The next moment, before their very eyes, a figure that appeared to be rather petite appeared before them.
Looking at the petite figure, Igarashi Ten's face showed surprise, and he asked, "Are you the Holy Son of Oo? What are you doing here?"
The other three teenagers also looked surprised when they saw the appearance of the Holy Son of Ao.
Upon hearing this, the Holy Son of Ao immediately replied, "I can protect you."
Seeing this, Igarashi Ten and the three boys looked at each other in bewilderment.
Through their mutual understanding, they also learned that the Holy Son of Oku was only 12 years old.
They couldn't believe a 12-year-old girl who claimed she could protect them.
On the contrary, they felt it was more appropriate for them to protect the Holy Son.
