Chapter 564 Who is the Devil?
Gao Dongxu's figure flickered like a ghost in the brightly lit warehouse. The crystal witch knife in his hand gleamed with a cold blue light, and the blade made a faint hum as it cut through the air, as if it were thirsting for blood.

Laura's foster mother—the woman who controlled the giant bear guardian spirit—was deathly pale, her lips trembling as she backed away: "Impossible...you, you're also a superhuman?!"

"You've only stolen a few vestiges of shamanism, and you really think you're invincible? Shamanism is nothing more than a drop in the ocean of our Celestial Empire's five-thousand-year civilization—"

Gao Dongxu's lips curled into a cold smile, and he suddenly flicked his left hand—

"Whoosh!"

A cold light shot out, heading straight for the man controlling the crows. His pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively raised his hand to block, but it was too late.

"Pfft!"

A 20-centimeter-long steel needle pierced his right eye with pinpoint accuracy, the tip even protruding half an inch from the back of his head. The man could only manage a half-scream before collapsing straight down, blood gushing from his eye socket. The raven guardian spirit let out a mournful cry before dissipating into black mist.

"No—!" Laura's foster mother screamed hysterically, "Kill him, kill him for me—".

The giant bear guardian spirit roared and pounced on Gao Dongxu, its enormous paw sweeping across the air with the force to tear it apart.

Gao Dongxu leaned back, executing a precise bridge maneuver to avoid the bear's paw strike. Then, he used his waist and abdomen to spring up like a spring, thrusting the crystal witch knife straight at the giant bear's right rib!

"Roar—!" The giant bear roared in pain, its paws instinctively striking Gao Dongxu's head.

But Gao Dongxu had already anticipated this. He quickly drew his sword, rolled to avoid the bear's paw strike, and simultaneously slashed horizontally with his blade!
"Shh!"

The blade of light flashed like an arc of the moon, and the giant bear's upright right leg snapped off, causing its massive body to tilt violently. Losing its balance, the giant bear roared madly, slamming its left paw into the ground in an attempt to regain its footing.

Gao Dongxu gave it no chance to breathe; he strode closer, the blade flashing once more—

"puff!"

The giant bear's right paw was severed at the wrist!

"No—!!!" Laura's foster mother screamed shrilly, almost collapsing to the ground.

The giant bear had completely lost its fighting ability and could only lie prostrate on the ground, emitting painful howls. Gao Dongxu coldly watched it, raising his crystal witch knife once more—

"Shh!"

With the final blow, the giant bear's left paw was also severed.

The guardian spirit was on the verge of collapse, and Laura's foster mother suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood and turning ashen-faced instantly.

The entire warehouse fell into a deathly silence.

Laura's beautiful eyes widened, her slender hand covering her red lips, completely stunned. She had never imagined that Gao Dongxu possessed such terrifying strength—those guardian spirits, which her adoptive mother had described as almost invincible, were utterly helpless before him, like clay chickens and earthenware dogs!
Gao Dongxu pointed the witch knife at the giant bear's head, his icy gaze sweeping over Laura's foster mother, who lay slumped on the ground. His voice was low and chilling as he said, "With your current weakened body and mental state, the backlash from this strike will instantly kill you—"

"No, no, Alexander—" Laura, who was being held back by Ru Xin and Ru Qing, immediately spoke up to stop Gao Dongxu when she heard his words.

Laura's foster mother, lying on the ground coughing up blood and pale-faced, raised her head, looking at Laura with a complicated expression, then at Gao Dongxu, and said with a bitter laugh, "After seven years of planning and scheming, I never expected it to end like this. It seems that the future predicted by the crow wasn't 100% accurate..."

Gao Dongxu's eyes lit up slightly. He stopped outputting spiritual energy, and the shamanic crystal witch knife in his hand returned to its original state. Ignoring the giant bear lying on the ground, he strode towards Laura's foster mother.

Arriving at Laura's foster mother, Gao Dongxu squatted down and reached for the totem stone hanging around her neck.

Under the angry, resentful, reluctant, and helpless glare of Laura's adoptive mother, Gao Dongxu removed the totem stone from her neck. Looking at the roaring bear head totem, he said calmly, "For Laura's sake, I won't kill you. Hand over your research notes, and don't tell me you didn't have them."

"Heh heh, as expected, you couldn't resist the temptation of supernatural power either, hahaha, you really are just like us..." Laura's foster mother laughed weakly, her eyes filled with disdain.

However, after laughing, Laura's foster mother looked at Gao Dongxu with resentment in her eyes and said, "I won't tell you."

"That's a real shame, but just because you don't say it doesn't mean others won't," Gao Dongxu said with a noncommittal smile.

Standing up, Gao Dongxu walked over to Laura's ex-boyfriend, who had died from the backlash, bent down, and pulled off the eagle totem spirit stone hanging around his neck, then the raven totem spirit stone, and finally came to Laura's best friend, who had fainted from the backlash and was vomiting blood, and pulled off the fox totem spirit stone.

In this way, all six totem spirit stones ended up in Gao Dongxu's hands.

"Let me go—" At this moment, Laura also broke free from the pull of the two sisters, Ruxin and Ruqing, and rushed to the mobile hospital bed to check on her adopted son Liu Can, who was still unconscious.

Gao Dongxu put away the totem spirit stones he had brought and came to the bedside. He put his arm around Laura and said, "I'll have my men take you and Liu Can back to the hospital. Leave things here to me—" "But..." Laura looked at her adoptive mother lying on the ground with complicated emotions, and hesitated with some reluctance, "Let her go. She's already in the late stages of cancer."

"Aren't you worried that she'll hurt you and Liu Can again?" Gao Dongxu frowned as he looked at the sentimental Laura and reminded her.

“I think without those spirit stones, she would lose her threat,” Laura said hesitantly.

"Okay, I just hope she really will choose to quietly wait for death, rather than harboring unrealistic fantasies." Gao Dongxu looked at Laura's beautiful, cold, and stunning face and agreed.

"Thank you, darling—" Laura's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Gao Dongxu with tender emotion. Oblivious to everyone else, she tiptoed and kissed Gao Dongxu's lips.

Gao Dongxu embraced her voluptuous and sexy body, pressing her tightly against his chest, greedily savoring her taste.

After a long silence, their lips parted. Laura's pretty face flushed, and she looked at Gao Dongxu with seductive eyes, her voice trembling as she softly whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I'll wait for you—"

"Okay." Gao Dongxu's heart was burning with excitement.

"By the way, have you thought about what to tell the police?" Gao Dongxu looked at Laura, suddenly thinking of this question, and asked with a frown.

“I just need to tell the police that with the help of kind people, I chased after the ambulance that kidnapped my adopted son and was shot at by the kidnappers. However, after the ambulance reached the suburbs, the kidnappers suddenly stopped the car, abandoned the ambulance and my adopted son, and ran away. As for why, I don’t know. That’s something the police should find out, isn’t it?”

Laura's beautiful eyes sparkled with a cunning glint, and her cool, pretty face revealed a rare, beautiful, and charming smile with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

"Hehe, very good." Gao Dongxu nodded and smiled, then turned to look at the real doctor who was squatting under the mobile hospital bed, pretending to be invisible and trembling. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he whispered a few words in Laura's ear.

Laura's beautiful eyes widened slightly, revealing her reluctance. Looking at Gao Dongxu, whose gaze was firm but who was shaking his head slightly, she smiled wryly and said, "Alright."

"Leng Feng, you and Erpang drive the ambulance back to the hospital with Laura and Liu Can. Don't run into the police," Gao Dongxu instructed.

“Okay, boss—” Leng Feng and Erpang immediately replied, and then went forward with Laura to push the mobile hospital bed.

"And me..."

Knock him out—

Before the real doctor could finish speaking, Gao Dongxu shouted in Mandarin, and Erpang, without saying a word, knocked the unfortunate real doctor unconscious with a karate chop.

"Take care on the road. I won't see you off. I'll catch up with you after I've dealt with them," Gao Dongxu said, his arm around Laura's waist.

"Yes, promise me, don't hurt her again—" Laura pleaded hopefully.

"Okay, you're too kind," Gao Dongxu said with a helpless wry smile.

“After all, she raised me for over twenty years… Besides, even if I didn’t kill her, she wouldn’t live much longer. Let it go.” Laura glanced at her adoptive mother again, a complex, sad, and painful expression on her face. After saying that, she turned and walked out of the warehouse without looking back.

After the ambulance drove away from the warehouse, Gao Dongxu led the two sisters, Ruxin and Ruqing, to Laura's adoptive mother and said condescendingly, "Tell me everything you know. If you tell me voluntarily, you can suffer less."

"Heh heh, don't even think about it, don't even think about coveting our extraordinary power—" Laura's foster mother said to Gao Dongxu with a pale and weak smile, her eyes full of resentment and pleasure.

"Shameless! You call your supernatural power? It's clearly the power of our Celestial Empire's Shamanism. Do you really think that what you stole is yours? What a joke!" Gao Dongxu sneered.

"Since you won't tell me honestly, I'm sorry, I'll have to use my own methods—"

As he spoke, Gao Dongxu produced a syringe and a small medicine bottle, handed them to Ru Xin, and said calmly, "Give her the injection—"

"What is this? I don't want it—" Laura's foster mother knew with her toes that this was no good thing, and cried out in terror.

"Truth serum—" Gao Dongxu said calmly, "I was worried before that you might hold back if you agreed to hand over the information, but now, I believe in the effectiveness of the truth serum—"

"You devil—"

Gao Dongxu scoffed, "I'm a devil? Then what are you? If Laura hadn't been soft-hearted, I definitely wouldn't have let you live tonight. However, if you can withstand the backlash from the guardian spirit's death, then I don't mind letting you live a few more days and giving her—"

"Okay, boss—" Ruqing took the truth serum, a wicked smirk on his face, and went to his adoptive mother who was struggling and crawling.
