"Crack, crack—" The bone chains binding the Mutated Beasts snapped one after another. The Mutated Beasts broke free and fled wildly toward the outskirts of the ravine.
They feared Stone Power's aura immensely and did not dare linger for even a moment. Even when Gu Cang let out a low roar of reprimand, not a single Mutated Beast looked back.
"Courting death!" Gu Cang's fury surged at the sight. These Mutated Beasts were the key to maintaining his strength. Now that Lin Taichu had scattered them, the Bone Power and beastly aura within him instantly fell into chaos. His pale red flesh began to tremble, and his aura weakened accordingly.
Gu Cang flashed forward and appeared before Lin Taichu in an instant. Both palms struck out together, carrying chaotic Bone Power and beastly aura as they blasted toward Lin Taichu.
Lin Taichu did not dare take the attack head-on. He circulated his inner force and retreated swiftly, raising the Concealment Stone before him.
Stone Power formed a barrier that blocked Gu Cang's palm force. The barrier shook violently, sending Lin Taichu stumbling back again and again as a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Without the energy of the Mutated Beasts, you can't maintain your evolved form at all!"
Lin Taichu wiped away the blood from his mouth. The Stone Power from the Concealment Stone in his hand continued to pour forth without end, driving away the remaining Mutated Beasts.
The aura within Gu Cang grew increasingly chaotic. Cracks began to appear across his evolved form, and his pale red flesh gradually peeled away, revealing dark black bones beneath.
He roared and attacked Lin Taichu again. Though his moves remained fierce, they lacked their previous power, and the circulation of his Bone Power had become sluggish.
