Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1248
The night remained serene, with scattered stars in the sky.The rustling of leaves stirred by the gentle breeze and the chirping of cicadas filled the air, creating a tranquil atmosphere in the vast compound of the Swift residence.Tim watched Dominic leave the Swift residence, his eyes still reflecting his bewilderment and shock.Dominic rushed to the Swift family overnight, not for revenge, but to apologize.As an esteemed family in Xanwood, the Riller family came to apologize to a third-rate family in Venzor.Even with the truth right before him, Tim was unwilling to believe it.The Riller family, a prestigious family in Xanwood with the support of the Loompa family in the military theater, actually abandoned their family honor and knelt to apologize.Returning to his seat, Tim felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.Xayne did it.Xayne suddenly spoke up, "With the Riller family coming to apologize, perhaps it's time for a change in leadership in the Swift family?"X

Tony knew very well that he had no hope of inheriting the Swift family. Therefore, he acted recklessly and said, "Xayne is the live-in son-in-law of the Swift family, just like one of our own. If he wants to become the head of the Swift family, I'm the first one to support him."Tim never expected Tony to disregard the family's prestige and support an outsider.Furious, he said, "Family succession has always been the rule. As a prestigious family in Venzor, the Swift family is no exception. With Dad being critically ill and lying unconscious in bed, whether he can survive the crisis is unknown. The authority of the Swift family was personally handed over to me by him."The societal prejudices in Venzor were like a mountain, immovable no matter how hard one tried.Tim hoped to use these prejudices to make Xayne give up on inheriting the position of the head of the Swift family."Enough!" Xayne roared, followed by a cold smile. "The lives of the Swift family are in my hands."Tim f

Tim left the Swift residence, his departing figure seemingly aged several decades in an instant.Sophia and Vivian followed closely behind him.Taking advantage of the night's cover, they left the Swift residence together.The next morning, the Swift Group officially announced that Xayne was appointed as the Chairman of the Swift Group, while Tony was appointed as the acting Chairman.The highly publicized battle for power within the Swift family finally came to an end.Tony emerged as the winner, while Tim became the biggest loser.Tim and the others lived in a rented room.Vivian sat by the computer, cracking sunflower seeds, while the television broadcasted an interview with Tony and his family with the reporters.During the Q&A session, the reporter asked, "There have been rumors that the Swift siblings have been at odds with each other, portraying a facade of harmony while stabbing each other in the back. What do you think about this, Mr. Tony?"Dressed in formal attire,

Tim dressed himself up a bit before meeting Tyson, the butler of the Bullard family, this evening. Tyson held a high position in the Bullard family and was responsible for keeping tabs on Xayne's movements. Tyson could be said to control all the Bullard family's operations in Venzor. Tyson was the Bullard family's most important eyes and ears in Venzor. Tyson arranged to meet Tim at the Lyaf Cafe. The time was set for six o'clock in the evening. Tim arrived at the Lyaf Cafe early and waited for a full half-hour before Tyson leisurely arrived and said, "Mr. Tim, I apologize for being late, but caution is our way of doing things in this line of work. I hope you don't take offense." Tim smiled politely and responded, "Of course not! It's good to be cautious, or our cooperation wouldn't be able to proceed smoothly." Tyson probed, saying, "Lately, your brother's loud-mouthed appearances on the news have made me both anxious and angry. I can't believe you, Mr. Tim, a man with

Tyson didn't give up and left Tim with a final parting comment. "Do you want to rise to the top in Venzor or remain a commoner all your life? Think it through and come find me. Don't choose the wrong path. The Bullard family is your opportunity for success but also your last chance." With that, Tyson turned and left the Lyaf Cafe, leaving Tim alone. Tim stayed at the cafe, sitting in his seat for a long while. He stared at the vial of stimulant, his gaze distant. Tim remained seated until evening before he picked up the vial and left the cafe. After leaving the Lyaf Cafe, Tim sent Tyson a message. "I'll do it. Give me some time. Once I'm done, you better not go back on your word!" Tyson replied, "Once you're done and have Eric's support, the Bullard family will spare no effort to help you take control of the Swift family and make it one of Venzor's top powers." Tim gazed at the starry night sky and sighed deeply. "Xayne, one day you will pay for the blood debt you owe."

Blood Butcher said, "Let's hear it!" Dixon continued, "Since Xayne is leading a large army to our borders, if we can infiltrate the enemy forces and take the general's head, the fifty thousand soldiers will be nothing more than a joke. In my humble opinion, Folksworth Association is hosting an auction, and we should lure Xayne in and take him down within the city." Blood Butcher nodded. "Very clever!" Dixon continued, "Given that, General, please write a personal invitation to summon Xayne to Folksworth." Blood Butcher quickly retrieved a specially made invitation from the auction house and wrote a personal letter, then sent someone to deliver it to Xayne in Venzor. Since dealing with the Swift family, Xayne had been staying at Emperor Villa, spending time with Serena. The joy of regaining what he had almost lost surrounded Xayne. Serena had narrowly escaped being blown to pieces by a bomb, and now, having escaped from Vince, Xayne doted on Serena, afraid she would vanish.

Xayne declared, "In that case, why should I fear Folksworth? Why should I fear Blood Butcher? Let him bring thousands upon thousands of soldiers. I, Xayne, will remain unshaken." Ace kneeled, his emotions running high. "Whatever you command, I will follow you, Commander! Whether it’s a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair, I will charge ahead with you." Xayne ordered, "Lead the fifty thousand soldiers and wait at the entrance to Folksworth. As soon as I give the command, storm the city. Also, remember to summon the four Dracoguards of the Dracarium." Ace respectfully responded, "Yes, sir, I’ll follow your orders." Xayne looked toward the distant horizon and silently vowed that he would not only win this battle against Blood Butcher but win it decisively. Anyone who dared to harm his people would regret ever being born. Xayne and Serena packed their belongings and set off for Folksworth. They didn’t take long to land safely at the Folksworth Airport. The Folksworth Association

Serena turned her head and locked eyes with Francis.Serena’s purple blouse, paired with tight pants, accentuated her excellent figure. Her most striking feature was her youthful face. She had large eyes and a cherry-like mouth, making her look as fresh as a young maiden. Francis’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor. He had never seen such exquisite beauty before, and even though he was used to being surrounded by beautiful women, he was stunned by Serena’s appearance and grace. His gaze turned heated as he looked at her. Serena looked away, grabbing onto Xayne’s arm to head up to their room. She did not want to engage further with Francis. Francis waved his hand, ordering his bodyguards to surround Serena and Xayne. He taunted, “Pretty lady, instead of sharing a room with this poor wretch, why not stay with me, the young master of the mighty Rodriguez family? If you please me, I’ll ensure you never have to worry about food or clothes for the rest of your life.” Serena firmly

"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

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
