Yuan Ming and his two companions did not conceal their approach, so Gu Xuanyang detected their presence immediately.
His face showed no significant change of expression. He simply quickened the movements of the sword technique in his hand, as if to hurry up and finish off the two Golden Stone Strange Beasts before him.
Just as he swung his sword to decapitate the one creature left with only half a body, planning to turn and kill the other, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The slightly smaller beast that was entangled with Daoist Qian Bao suddenly leaped into the air, its body emitting a dazzling golden light.
The next moment, including the two beasts entangled with Gu Xuanyang and fragments of golden stone of various sizes scattered on the ground, they all converged toward the smaller beast and fused together, transforming into a gigantic golden beast several zhang high.
