Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1069
Xayne was puzzled, scratching his head in confusion. "What's going on?"Ariana looked at Xayne with pitiful, watery eyes and said, "Can I come in?""Ah, sure." Xayne quickly stepped aside, allowing Ariana to enter. He casually closed the door, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it to Ariana. She sat on the sofa, her face filled with melancholy."What's wrong? Feeling down?" Xayne sat across from her and asked in a low voice.Ariana, with her fair feet on the sofa, tightly hugged her legs. She placed her chin on her knees and looked at the warm water on the table resentfully, tears rolling down her cheeks.Seeing her like this, Xayne felt a bit uneasy. He never knew what to do whenever a woman cried. He quickly fetched some tissues and handed them to Ariana, saying, "Hey, don't cry. What happened?"Ariana took two and wiped away her tears. Then, she looked at Xayne seriously and asked, "Xayne, have you ever been betrayed by your family?"Xayne frowned at her words, looking at

After covering Ariana with a blanket, Xayne sat on the sofa and continued studying the tome.The following day, Ariana found herself lying on Xayne's bed. Nervously, she checked her clothes and realized they were intact. For a moment, she felt a little lost and sad, wondering if she couldn't capture his heart.Xayne entered, holding breakfast as he said, "I saw you were still asleep, so I went downstairs to get you some breakfast. Eat it after you freshen up. I have some matters to attend to."Ariana felt warm inside when she saw Xayne. She wanted to say something, but her words were stuck in her throat. Xayne quickly left the room.At the doorway, Ace and Draven watched Xayne leave. Draven teased, "Commander, what's going on? Did you two sleep together?""Drakon King, what will you do if your wife finds out?" Ace added.Seeing the gossiping pair, Xayne sighed. "Don't overthink it. We’re innocent."Ace and Draven exchanged glances, shrugged, and followed Xayne to the fourth floo

The eight assassins exchanged panicked glances. Someone shouted, “Your Excellency, we don’t know who the mastermind is. We only came after receiving the mission. Also, we’re not core members of Pluto. People just hire us for odd jobs. Killing us won’t change a thing.”“Y-Yeah, he’s right! Please spare us, Your Excellency. We’re just trying to make a living. We don’t know anything.”“We were wrong to cross you, sir. We sincerely beg for mercy.”Xayne looked at the pleading assassins coldly and said, “You have a minute and a half left. Is that your final answer?”The assassins grew flustered as they begged and kowtowed. However, it was all in vain. As time passed, Xayne’s Ravenclaw Dagger glinted.“You have ten seconds remaining. Is no one going to talk?” Xayne asked with overwhelming killing intent."Please spare us, Your Excellency. We really don't know anything!""We’re just grunts. Our lives are worthless. Please forgive us, sir!""Damn it, let’s just fight! We're going to di

On the other hand, Xayne and the others headed to the casino on the fifth floor after dealing with the ten Pluto assassins.Edwin had arranged to meet them here. As they entered the casino, the bustling scene made the trio frown. The casino’s interior was luxurious, with hundreds of staff, over a hundred gambling tables, and VIP private rooms.When the trio entered, a tall and attractive woman in a black dress approached them. She bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Xayne, Mr. Edwin is waiting for you in VIP Suite 302. Please come this way."Xayne nodded and followed the woman. When the woman opened the door, Xayne saw Edwin embracing two women with blonde hair and blue eyes at the gambling table. Edwin was even playing cards with a man.When he saw Xayne, he stood up and hugged Xayne, saying warmly, “Mr. Xayne, I’ve been waiting for you! Come, let’s play a few rounds.”Xayne frowned and shook his head. “Sorry, Mr. Edwin, I’m not interested in gambling.”Edwin smiled slightly and raise

Over a dozen burly men stood beside the cars, their guns visible on their waists. They even wore bulletproof vests and held submachine guns.Ariana was afraid when she saw them. She tugged Xayne’s arm and asked, “Nothing bad will happen, right?”Xayne shook his head, glanced at the middle-aged man before him, and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested in meeting your envoy. If he wants to see me, he can come in person."Xayne and the others then walked past the middle-aged man. The latter’s expression instantly turned cold as he said, “Supreme Commander, our lord is rarely interested in meeting someone. Disrespecting him is a ticket to leave Velegas."As he spoke, the gun-wielding men rushed over to surround Xayne and the others. Ariana clung to Xayne, frightened, while Edwin witnessed the scene and frowned. Edwin’s assistant whispered, “Should we lend a hand, Mr. Edwin?”After some thought, Edwin said smilingly, “No need. If the King of the North can’t even handle this, then we don’t n

Xayne swiftly opened the letter and saw three sentences. The first line read, "Mikael is at your disposal. He’s the trump card I've cultivated for over 20 years for you. He’s trustworthy."'Mikael? He’s Grandpa's spy?'Xayne was utterly shocked. Although Mikael was one of Harris’s nine envoys, the former turned out to be one of Xander’s. Moreover, Xander had been working on his relationship with Mikael for over two decades. It seemed Xander had foreseen the calamity that would befall him.Xayne raised his brow at Mikael, who sipped his tea. The latter smiled faintly, making it hard for Xayne to read his thoughts.Xayne read the second line that said, “The Heavenly Tome is a mysterious book that our family has guarded for a thousand years. You must protect it. If the Big Four steals it one day, you must take it back. After all, it concerns Drakonia—no, the entire world’s fate.”Xayne frowned when he read the second line. He thought it sounded a little exaggerated and that the Heave

From the letter, Xayne could tell his grandfather had long foreseen something. Hence, Xander began to lay out his plans. Xayne looked at Mikael, who was sitting calmly, and asked, “Are you one of my grandfather’s men?”Mikael smiled and gestured for his men to step back. He then said, “That’s right, I’m your grandfather’s adopted son. You can call me Uncle Mikael.Xayne did not feel shy or embarrassed. He cupped his hands and said, “It’s nice to meet you, Uncle Mikael.”Mikael laughed heartily. “Likewise, kid. I didn’t expect the grandson of my foster father to become the renowned King of the North. Rumors about you have spread throughout Westfordia. You’re the man who stood against a million armies. That's impressive!""That’s an exaggeration, Uncle Mikael. Those are just rumors," Xayne said with a faint smile.Mikael nodded as his expression turned solemn, saying, "Xayne, now that we've exchanged identities, I won't hide anything from you. When Drakonia abandoned your grandpa ye

Ariana smiled faintly, saying, "I appreciate your compliment, Mr Crody."Crody Bawser stood up with tall glass and approached her. He then placed a hand on Ariana's shoulder and leaned in to whisper, "Ms. Ariana, I find myself increasingly fond of you. You have a unique Drakonian charm that captivates me."His wandering hands slowly moved toward Ariana's slender waist. She frowned and quickly stood up to avoid it before raising her glass and saying, "I respect you, too, Mr. Crody. Let me toast to you again."Crody revealed an awkward smile and clinked glasses with Ariana. The redness in his complexion deepened, and his words became bolder. "Ms. Ariana, I’m confident in this cooperation. How about we retire to a room and discuss some specifics?"His lustful gaze fell on Ariana's collarbone and chest as he spoke, making her uncomfortable. She could only smile awkwardly and say, “I think we can discuss the cooperation tomorrow. You should rest first since it’s getting late."Ariana p

"There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

"Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s
Chapter 2686
Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning

Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp
Chapter 2684
Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c
Chapter 2682
After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
