"Wind!"
As the black shadow darted in, Jiang Li almost seemed to glide through the air, accurately reaching the black shadow's front. With a swift hand strike, he unleashed the slicing technique of the Emperor Wind Seal.
Pfft!
A sound like a metal cutter slicing through metal echoed, and the "Rakshasa Beast" was cleaved in two by Jiang Li's bare hands, revealing a small piece of base-meat inside.
"Sure enough, the Rakshasa Beasts at night are much weaker than under the scorching sun, and their bodies are not as hard." He casually tossed the base-meat into his mouth, and indeed, it was fragrant, like drinking nectar.
Originally, during the month on Rakshasa Planet, one could only hone their spirit, but without sufficient nutrition, no one would enhance their vitality; instead, their physical strength would gradually deteriorate.
But with base-meat, it was different.
The protein in it was purer than super-protein, containing powerful energy that could be directly absorbed by the body. Eating base-meat daily, along with various vitamins, salts, and other minerals from nutritional supplements, not only prevented physical strength from deteriorating but also enhanced it.
Unfortunately, the Rakshasa Beasts were too strong. At Jiang Li's stage of Vitality 2, even with the ancient and unparalleled Emperor Wind Seal, he could only kill them at night.
Moreover, their bodies were extremely hard and solid. The cutting strike just now made Jiang Li's palm ache slightly.
With a Vitality of 1.3, Jiang Li could shatter steel plates. Now, with a Vitality of 2, his hand strike could cut through steel plates. The Rakshasa Beasts' bodies were even stronger than steel, almost as if they were forged by machines.
He couldn't understand how this planet could nurture such life forms.
They were practically evil metallic life forms.
Fortunately, they had base-meat, and their corpses were very valuable. A single Rakshasa Beast's corpse could sell for over a thousand star coins, and many factories needed them.
"They're coming in large numbers!" Henry exclaimed in alarm.
At that moment, four or five more Rakshasa Beasts darted into the cave entrance. Their sharp claws could pierce through rocks, and human flesh was like tofu before their claws.
Luo Han and Xue Ling rushed forward simultaneously.
Luo Han took a step, punched out, and her movements were both real and illusory, like a ghost or a god appearing.
B-Class Martial Art, Ghost God Fist!
With Luo Han's Vitality of 1.3, practicing this fist technique was a perfect match, and she wouldn't go into a trance. Originally, Ouyang Xing, with a Vitality of 1.2, also practiced this fist technique and could still ambush Jiang Li.
"Elusive as a ghost, swift as a god!" Xue Ling's body flashed, and she cooperated with Luo Han, both attacking a single Rakshasa Beast together.
Both simultaneously used the Ghost God Fist, and their combined power was more than doubled. One like a god, one like a ghost, their coordination was almost invincible.
Luo Han and Xue Ling were long-time friends, and though they often competed and bickered, they knew each other well. Their cooperation was seamless.
They both punched simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right, striking the Rakshasa Beast, making it emit a sharp, piercing scream. Then, each grabbed one side and pulled hard!
Rip!
The entire Rakshasa Beast was torn in two, and a piece of base-meat the size of a fingernail fell. Both women reached out, each taking half, and put it in their mouths.
This was a clean and swift kill, and the display of ferocity was so intense that even Jiang Li was taken aback, not expecting their combined combat power to be so formidable.
"How about that? We've been practicing our combined attack techniques for a long time, and now we finally get to use them!" Xue Ling said proudly. "The Ghost God Fist is the best for combined attacks."
"Amazing!" Jiang Li praised, giving her a thumbs up.
At that moment, another black shadow pounced. Without even looking, he unleashed a palm strike, and a thunderous sound erupted, flattening the Rakshasa Beast with one strike. He then stepped forward, grabbed it with both hands, and tore it apart!
The base-meat flew out, and he caught it, tossing it into his mouth.
He then kicked out, and another black shadow was kicked deep into the wall.
Boom!
At this point, more and more Rakshasa Beasts were rushing into the cave. Outside, the densely packed Rakshasa Beasts, smelling the blood, were vying to get in.
A rock was shattered.
"Ah!" A white female student was hit by a Rakshasa Beast's claw, and a bloody chunk of flesh was torn from her arm. The Rakshasa Beast chewed the flesh, shouting excitedly, as if very excited.
They were bloodthirsty, like sharks, and the smell of blood could stimulate their combat power.
"Trouble." Jiang Li now understood why so many people died the previous night, and a team of over fifty was reduced to just seven. These Rakshasa Beasts were too fierce and relentless.
He extended his long arm, grabbed a Rakshasa Beast, and tore it apart, a piece of base-meat falling out. He threw it to the white female student: "Apply the base-meat to your wound!"
Base-meat contained enormous energy, which could promote muscle growth and blood circulation. Eating it could not only regulate internal organs but also be applied to external injuries, where its energy would seep into cells and blood, replacing human flesh and blood.
The girl quickly applied the base-meat to her wound, and it immediately melted, stopping the bleeding. The torn flesh began to heal and grow.
The Rakshasa Beasts' strength came from this base-meat.
In fact, the Rakshasa Beasts were somewhat like metal mechs, except they had intelligence.
However, the base-meat was too small and not enough to eat. They had to kill as many Rakshasa Beasts as possible to obtain sufficient base-meat.
At this moment, Henry remained calm, stepping forward and throwing punches continuously.
His fist technique was very simple, the military-style explosive punch, striking in rapid succession. A few punches knocked out the Rakshasa Beast, and he then stomped on it with his foot, tearing it open to extract the base-meat. Sometimes, after killing a Rakshasa Beast, he had no time to get the base-meat before other Rakshasa Beasts attacked.
More and more Rakshasa Beasts rushed in, and even Luo Han and Xue Ling could only hide in the corner, punching the Rakshasa Beasts back, unable to kill them.
To kill a Rakshasa Beast, one had to use immense strength to tear it apart, which consumed a lot of energy and left one vulnerable to attacks from other Rakshasa Beasts.
The claws of the Rakshasa Beasts were like metal knives, capable of digging out a heart with a single strike.
"Quickly gather, just like last night, leaving no blind spots! I and Lilith will take the front, two people will cover the top, and two people will cover the sides. When you see a Rakshasa Beast, punch it away!" Henry shouted. "Luo Han, Xue Ling, you two also gather here. And Jiang Li, we two have the strongest vitality, so we will take the front, drawing their attacks. If we can hold out for a few hours, the outside temperature will drop, and the cold will seep into the cave, making these Rakshasa Beasts gradually lose strength and retreat!"
It seemed that the bloody lessons of the previous night had taught Henry and the others a lot.
Luo Han and Xue Ling quickly moved toward Henry's group but were tightly engaged by several Rakshasa Beasts, struggling to hold them off.
Jiang Li caught a Rakshasa Beast pouncing at Luo Han from behind out of the corner of his eye. The sharp claws were about to strike her back. He quickly kicked a piece of broken rock, which flew through the air and struck the Rakshasa Beast's head, causing it to veer off and emit a sharp, hissing sound.
Luo Han's heart raced, and a chill ran down her back. She quickly turned and punched, the shadow of her fist flickering, and struck the Rakshasa Beast's head with great force.
Swish!
Jiang Li, distracted, was caught off guard by a Rakshasa Beast pouncing from behind, leaving five bloody scratches on his back. He quickly dodged, but still took a hit.
He was alone at the entrance, facing over a dozen Rakshasa Beasts, with no place to hide. He could only take the hit.
Bang!
He struck the Rakshasa Beast with a backhand, sending it flying. Then, he struck another, slicing it in half. He spun his body, and the piece of base-meat that fell landed in his hand. He smeared it on his back, and the wound began to heal immediately.
"Hmm?" In this critical moment, a flash of insight came to him, as if he had grasped some deeper martial arts principles. His previous two strikes, one with thunder and one with wind, seemed to have a tendency to combine, just like Wang Changrong's techniques.
"I've got it!"
His martial arts experience deepened, and he recalled the Wang family's Eight Trigram Wind and Thunder Palm, combining it with the Emperor Thunder Seal and Emperor Wind Seal. His left hand swirled, like a whirlwind, and his right hand moved, like a thunderbolt.
Left wind, right thunder, both striking simultaneously!
Swish!
A Rakshasa Beast was torn apart, and the base-meat fell directly into Jiang Li's mouth.
His body moved, dodging many claw attacks with ease. Another strike, using both wind and thunder, increased his power, and he took the life of a Rakshasa Beast with each move.
In a few moments, four or five Rakshasa Beasts were dead.
He became more and more proficient, the two martial arts techniques of the Emperor Thunder Seal and Emperor Wind Seal complementing each other, increasing his killing power several times. His movements were like a tiger leaping and a wolf running, and his combat effectiveness increased dramatically.
The image of the wind and thunder trigrams from the I Ching appeared clearly in his mind. As a student preparing to enter Starlight University, he had studied this ancient classic. With some guidance from Wang Changrong and now practical experience, he had a deeper understanding of wind and thunder.
Two thunders combined form the "Zhen" trigram.
Continuous thunder, the gentleman fears and corrects himself.
Two winds combined form the "Xun" trigram.
Following the wind, the gentleman issues commands.
Thunder and wind combined form the "Heng" trigram.
Thunder and wind constant, the gentleman stands firm and unchanging. This means the gentleman determines his path and will not change, even if the road is winding, he will not regret it even if he dies nine times.
Wind and thunder combined form the "Yi" trigram.
Wind and thunder beneficial, the gentleman sees good and follows it, sees faults and corrects them.
These four trigrams revealed the mysteries of wind and thunder and the human heart, and when combined with the Emperor Wind Seal and Emperor Thunder Seal, they produced a profound transformation.
It was a transformation of martial arts, mind, and body. At this moment, Jiang Li felt his body become both lighter and heavier.
His body moved according to his will.
Lifting heavy as if it were light.
At this moment, his martial arts realm advanced another level, and the killing power of the two seals increased several times. The Rakshasa Beasts under his hands were like melons being cut and vegetables being chopped.
Swish, swish, swish...
His hands moved like lightning, striking, tearing, and slicing, killing a Rakshasa Beast in the blink of an eye and taking its base-meat.
Jiang Li could even sense their attack routes in advance, sometimes moving forward to block their actions and taking their lives directly.
Each strike took the life of a Rakshasa Beast, and he ate a piece of base-meat.
Of course, sometimes he was scratched, but he immediately applied base-meat to the wound. In this battle, he became increasingly proficient, and later, he almost never got hurt. His speed far exceeded that of the Rakshasa Beasts, and as soon as they entered, they were killed. The bodies gradually piled up at the entrance, exuding a fierce and terrifying aura.
Finally, the Rakshasa Beasts outside seemed to dare not enter anymore. They hissed and retreated, and the sound of a receding tide echoed in the cave.
On the ground, in the front passage, there were hundreds of Rakshasa Beast corpses.
