Chapter 562 Enduring the Guardian Spirit's Attack, Seeking an Opportunity by Holding Back
"That's it?" Gao Dongxu flicked his wrist, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Is this the extraordinary power you've been seeking?"

Laura stared wide-eyed at the scene, her mouth agape, her eyes filled with excitement and admiration as she looked at Gao Dongxu. She truly hadn't expected that her suitor would be a martial arts master.

Supel glanced coldly at his injured subordinate, a flash of annoyance in his eyes, but he quickly regained his condescending indifference.

"I didn't expect you to be a martial arts master," he said with a sneer, looking at Gao Dongxu who had provoked him, and tightly gripping the spirit stone hanging around his neck. "However, how can the power of a mortal compare to that of a god—"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly uttered a string of strange syllables. Laura felt a chill run down her spine; the syllables sounded like some ancient language, and each syllable sent a shiver through the office.

Even more chillingly, Supil's supposedly terminally ill and frail body suddenly erupted with astonishing energy. To Laura's horror, a giant black bear appeared before her foster mother, completely shattering Laura's worldview.

"No, this is impossible!" Laura's legs went weak, and she involuntarily stepped back until her back hit the cold wall.

With a deafening roar, a giant black bear, nearly three meters tall when standing upright, appeared in the center of the office. It brandished paws the size of washbasins, their sharp claws gleaming coldly under the lights. As it opened its blood-red maw, thick saliva dripped from between its sharp teeth, instantly filling the entire space with a stench.

Looking at the giant bear, she remembered the recurring nightmare her adopted son had been having lately—being chased by a giant black bear. It turned out that her adoptive mother was that giant bear from his nightmares.

“Alexander! Run!” Laura screamed, but the sound caught in her throat and turned into a weak sob.

The giant bear gave her no time to think. It roared and pounced on Gao Dongxu, its huge paws sweeping across with a whooshing sound, enough to crush an ordinary person's head.

Gao Dongxu narrowed his eyes and, instead of retreating, advanced. Just as the bear's paw was about to strike, he suddenly ducked, dodging the fatal blow with a near-perfect sidestep, and simultaneously slid into the bear's embrace like a fish. His right elbow, like a cannonball, slammed into the bear's belly with all his might.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the giant bear let out a painful roar and staggered back two steps. Gao Dongxu seized the opportunity, suddenly exerting force with his feet, and chased after it like an arrow released from a bow. His movements were fluid and graceful, using the "Three Water Points of the King of Hell" technique to strike the giant bear's chest, throat, and jaw in succession, each strike incredibly precise.

The office echoed with the roar of a giant bear and Supil's incredulous screams. Laura stood frozen, staring at this exotic suitor she had only recently met, who was now displaying a shocking side of himself.

Every move Gao Dongxu made contained astonishing explosive power. His clothes were stretched taut by his bulging muscles, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, but his eyes were frighteningly calm.

"Drink!" With a loud shout, Gao Dongxu leaped up, his right arm swung like a whip, and delivered a powerful "Tiger Climbing the Mountain" strike to the giant bear's forehead.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of bones cracking sent chills down everyone's spines. The giant bear let out a heart-wrenching roar, its paws flailing wildly, shattering office furniture into pieces under its fury. Gao Dongxu had already retreated, leaping lightly back to Laura's side, his breathing slightly rapid, but his posture remaining composed.

"My God, Alexander, are you Superman?" Laura's voice trembled. The man in front of her was truly too powerful. She was completely conquered by Gao Dongxu's strength and charm.

Gao Dongxu didn't answer; his gaze was fixed on the injured but still ferocious giant bear, his brow furrowed. "More resilient than I expected."

Subile's voice rang out, filled with barely suppressed anger and a hint of barely perceptible fear: "Summon your guardian spirit and kill him!"

The man and woman struggled to their feet, wiping the blood from their mouths, and each clutched a spirit stone. They began chanting the same strange syllables, and the energy in the air twisted once more.

A black fox, at least 1.5 meters long, appeared before the woman. Its glossy fur concealed bulging muscles, and its sharp teeth gleamed coldly in the lamplight. The man, on the other hand, summoned a raven the size of a falcon, its feathers as hard as steel and its beak as sharp as a knife.

The black fox launched the first attack, swift as lightning, lunging straight for Gao Dongxu's throat. The crow, meanwhile, took flight, circling high above, searching for an opportunity to deliver the fatal blow.

Despite the danger, Gao Dongxu remained calm. He delivered a powerful whip kick, sending the attacking black fox flying, while simultaneously forming claws with his hands to meet the swooping crow. His knuckles turned white from the force, and his fingernails seemed sharper than usual.

"Watch out—" Laura screamed as the giant bear pounced again, creating a three-way attack.

At the critical moment, Gao Dongxu changed his claws into a palm, delivering a precise strike to the crow's head, sending it flying. The crow crashed into the desk, shaking its head, before quickly taking flight again, its eyes flashing with a vicious red light.

The three guardian spirits formed a triangle around Gao Dongxu, creating a suffocatingly tense atmosphere in the office. Gao Dongxu quickly retreated to Laura's side, shielding her behind him. He slowly adjusted his breathing, his gaze shifting between the three spirits, searching for a way out.

"Mortal, no matter how good your skills are, can you deal with three guardian spirits at the same time?" Supel sneered, with a cruel sense of satisfaction.

Gao Dongxu's lips curled into a cold smile: "How will you know if you don't try?"

He knew that if he wanted to, he could easily destroy the three guardian spirits in front of him, whether by pure force, by using a Taoist artifact, or by using the shamanic crystal witch knife he had just obtained.

However, even if he could destroy the guardian spirit, he couldn't openly kill Laura's foster mother and the others. After all, they were in a foreign country, and unless he killed them and immediately left the country, the French police wouldn't turn a blind eye. And if they were alive, he wouldn't be able to keep the totem stone for himself.

Of course, another point is that he hasn't maxed out Lara's favorability yet. He needs these villains to continue doing evil so that Lara will see him as her savior.

With these thoughts in mind, Gao Dongxu decided to bide his time and wait for the best opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop and completely eliminate any future troubles.

"Your guardian spirits should belong to the spiritual power category, right? I killed an eagle at that scholar's house before. If I'm not mistaken, the guardian spirit of that guy in the wheelchair is that eagle, isn't it?"

Is his current state a consequence of the backlash I suffered after killing the eagle?

Gao Dongxu used words to distract the three men, and sure enough, all four of them changed drastically upon hearing his words. Especially Laura's ex-boyfriend in the wheelchair, who gritted his teeth and cursed, "You yellow-skinned monkey, when I catch you, I'll slowly torture you to death—"

"You think you can catch me, you white pig? Hah, trash. Don't you dare get separated from me, or if I catch you, I'll crush every bone in your body and make you wish you were dead—"

When Gao Dongxu heard the other party insult him, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he uttered threatening words that made everyone present turn pale and shudder.

"And the three of you, if I unleash my full power, I can kill at least two guardian spirits. I believe the backlash will be unbearable for your souls..."

Gao Dongxu's threat made Laura's adoptive mother and the other two hesitate. They really didn't expect Gao Dongxu to be so powerful. Even if they had extraordinary powers, they couldn't kill him.

Just as the three looked at each other, hesitating, Gao Dongxu seized the fleeting opportunity, grabbed Laura's hand, and rushed towards the door: "Now!"

He opened the door and pulled Laura outside, but although Laura had long legs, her figure was too voluptuous, with a large bottom, and she couldn't run fast at all.

Left with no other choice, Gao Dongxu simply scooped up the startled Laura in a princess carry and rushed towards the foundation's gate.

"Chase them! We can't let them get away!" Supel's roar came from behind.

"Go away——"

Upon hearing Supil's roar, the two security guards at the foundation's main gate immediately drew their batons and stood in the doorway, attempting to stop Gao Dongxu, who was holding Laura.

Gao Dongxu let out a cold shout, kicking away two security guards who looked like fat pigs and were all bark and no bite. With a powerful front kick, he kicked open the door, grabbed Laura, and rushed out of the foundation.

By this time, it was already dark. Gao Dongxu carried Laura and rushed towards the busy road. Amidst the screech of brakes and shouts of curses, Gao Dongxu carried Laura across the road, flagged down a taxi, quickly got in, and gave the name of the hospital.

Laura's foster mother and her two companions, who had chased after her out of the foundation's gate, watched helplessly as Gao Dongxu and Laura got into a taxi and fled. Their faces were filled with utter dismay.

They dared not use their supernatural powers to hunt down the two in public.

"Call the people at the hospital immediately and take Liu Can to the airport. We're heading to Mongolia right away," Laura's foster mother ordered coldly, making the decision immediately.

"President, that kid's injuries are very serious. What if he dies on the way out?" Laura's 'best friend' said with some concern.

Laura's foster mother frowned, looked at the crow-man, and asked, "In the future fragments you saw, did we succeed or fail?"

The crow-man said with a wry smile, "Guild Master, all I saw was that we brought Liu Can to the altar, and then I saw..."

"what did you see?"

"I saw someone knock me unconscious and lying on the ground..."

"..."

Laura's foster mother stared speechlessly at the raven man. She had to admit that she really regretted giving him the raven totem spirit stone. You see, the raven guardian spirit represents the ability to foresee the future. As long as you can focus on meditation and communicate with the spirits of all things, you can see some fragments of the future that will happen to you.

It's a pity that this totem spirit stone, which could have been a powerful weapon if used properly, became useless because it was entrusted to the wrong person.

"Bring the doctor along too. Liu Can absolutely cannot die before the sacrificial ceremony." Laura's foster mother said with a crazed glint in her eyes. She didn't care about anything else anymore; she didn't want to die, she wanted to live, to live forever!
