A person dressed in a light gray jacket asked, "Excuse me, why is this happening? The pharmaceutical expo auction has never been postponed in years. At the very least, there should be some explanation. Otherwise, it's hard to silence the rumors."

Just as Marcus expected, when they realized the other party was too strong, they would look for another way out.

"Well..." Marcus hesitated for a moment before saying, "The news was announced at the last minute, and I don't know much about it either. It seems that a big shot couldn't make it, and it was this big shot who asked Mr. Ritchie to postpone the expo."

‘What?’

This was equivalent to a stone casted into the water, stirring up waves crashing against the shore.

The murmurs and speculations only intensified.

"What's going on? Mr. Ritchie received orders from a big shot and postponed the expo?"

"Can this big shot be the person who bought the Folksworth Hotel yesterday? I heard Mr. Ritchie personally went to welcome him and escorted

    Xayne smiled and did not try to stop Serena. She finished changing and said, "Remember to come downstairs for lunch. I'll be waiting for you."Xayne nodded.Just then, a message came through. Xayne checked his phone and saw it was from Ace."Commander, we found no records of Blood Butcher leaving the city. He has not left Folksworth. If he did, it was likely through a secret military route."Xayne pondered for a moment before finishing changing and leaving the room.The second to fourth floors of the Folksworth Hotel were restaurants with top-notch facilities. After Xayne and Serena finished eating, they hurried to the pharmaceutical expo center.If Serena wanted, he could have the expo held at the hotel.When they arrived at the expo center, Xayne and Serena were already late. The leaders of various industries and big shots inside and outside Folksworth had already arrived at the expo center and taken their seats.As Xayne and Serena entered the lobby, all eyes turned to them.

    "Next, let's invite Mr. Ritchie to give a speech." Marcus spoke into the microphone. As the manager of the expo center and the host of the pharmaceuticals expo center, Marcus's task was quite heavy—keeping the atmosphere lively, bridging the gap, and ensuring nothing was delayed.After his speech, the whole room erupted in applause. Not because they wanted to flatter Marcus, but to some extent, they tried to give Ritchie respect.However, Ritchie seemed lost in thought.Marcus spoke again, "Perhaps the applause wasn't enthusiastic enough. Let's give another round of applause to invite the president of the Folksworth Association, Mr. Ritchie, to the stage."Marcus led the applause, and the room was again filled with thunderous applause.At this moment, Ritchie stirred.Instead of heading toward the podium, Ritchie headed straight for the door. Mr. White was being blocked outside.Ritchie hurried to the door, attracting everyone's attention.Marcus picked up the microphone and sa

    Marcus smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"Xayne said, "We didn't participate in the previous proceedings. Let's go through it again."His words caused a commotion throughout the venue. He was making everyone go through the proceedings again just because of him.No one took Xayne's words seriously. After all, this was the pharmaceutical expo, not a personal showcase. A single voice could not override the collective.Marcus was also at a loss. This was simply impossible.However, Ritchie walked up to the stage with his cane, giving Marcus a look that made him step down. Ritchie then took the microphone."Since Mr. Xayne has a request, let's go through the proceedings again. According to the procedure, I should be on stage now, delivering the exposition of the pharmaceutical expo auction."His words caused another uproar throughout the venue.Ritchie treated Xayne as if he were his big benefactor. Indeed, one could think of it this way—

    Dixon did not bother and ordered the waiter to deliver the poison-filled drink to Xayne.Dixon felt ecstatic—it was finally a success. He had no more interest in the auction items. His eyes were fixed on the clock on his wrist.He was on a three-minute countdown.Within three minutes, if Xayne succumbed to the poison, the mission would be a success.If Xayne did not die within three minutes, the mission would fail.Time passed minute by minute, and the auction items were ending.Finally, the last item—the Revelation Weed—was presented on the stage.Xayne immediately bid. "Two hundred thousand."Silence filled the room. No one bid against Xayne. He single-handedly purchased all the auction items.Marcus smiled. "Let's congratulate Mr. Xayne. Today, he has acquired all the auction items. I believe the biggest winner of today is undoubtedly Mr. Xayne."As soon as Xayne's name was mentioned, he suddenly straightened up and collapsed.It would take three minutes, not a second mor

    Dixon felt his hands becoming unusually heavy, unable to press the buttons on the phone.The next moment, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if a mouthful of blood had completely blocked his throat.Xayne said coldly, "An eye for an eye. Now, taste your poison."Dixon covered his mouth, feeling extremely uncomfortable.Gradually, his vision darkened, and he collapsed completely, becoming a lifeless body.Dragos appeared at the medicine exhibition center and knelt before Xayne. "Supreme Commander, we have completed the mission. Blood Butcher is now staying in his villa. The situation inside the villa is unknown, but he can't escape."Xayne asked, "Where are the other three Dracoguards?""Drakix and Draluna are guarding outside Blood Butcher's villa, while Draven is outside the city with fifty thousand soldiers. We're just waiting for Blood Butcher to open the door and let the fifty thousand soldiers in."Xayne nodded. "Good. Guard Blood Butcher's villa. Today, I will take Bloo

    High in the sky, amidst the jungle, one could occasionally spot a magnificent villa. This was a three-story mansion with a spire atop it. Two sentinels were on the spire, holding binoculars and scanning the surroundings.As scouts in the military, their sharp observational skills and agility were their survival skills.Inside the villa, Blood Butcher held his phone in his left hand. With just a command, fifty thousand fully armed soldiers outside the city would be led into the city by Dyron.As a seasoned commander who had seen many battles, this revealed an unbelievable situation.Xayne, who had experienced many battles, was killed by a poisoned drink.As the commander-in-chief of the Folksworth Military Theater, he would become the next Supreme Commander of Northern Plains, and fifty thousand soldiers would be under his control.All of this indicated that the plan was going smoothly, without any hiccups.Blood Butcher sipped his tea and gazed at the faint red twilight in the s

    Xayne knew this, and Blood Butcher knew it even better.Blood Butcher had a bad feeling and kept repeating “No” in his head.Blood Butcher returned to the villa, quickly picked up his phone, and dialed Dixon's number directly.No one answered the phone.Blood Butcher didn't give up and called Dixon.Still, no one answered the call.Blood Butcher wanted Dixon to keep an eye on Xayne and personally deliver the final blow to Xayne's body. Otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease.Blood Butcher didn't know that one of his eyes was already blind, and the other eye was also deeply afflicted.In a trench outside Folksworth, in a trench, sand and stones flew on the battlefield, and a strong wind rose, lifting layer after layer of dust.Dyron stared at the fifty thousand soldiers stationed outside the city, not blinking once.The plan was to fight to the death.Even a moment of relaxation on the battlefield could result in severe consequences.Gradually, the wind stopped, and the dust sett

    Dyron shouted, "Open the city gates."As the gates opened, Ace led fifty thousand soldiers straight in.Xayne's orders were clear. They were all from Drakonia. They would be spared if they were willing to submit. Those who refused would be killed without hesitation.Therefore, Ace's fifty thousand soldiers headed straight for the Blood Butcher lineage, along with Dyron and his deputy on the city wall.In Dyron's shocked eyes, Dragos appeared directly behind Dyron."Who are you?" Dyron, esteemed as a Grand Mater Warrior, was formidable, but he had no awareness of Dragos appearing behind him, which undoubtedly frightened him.He didn't know if this person was a friend or foe.If he were a friend, Dyron would naturally be happy. After all, no one wanted to become an opponent of a terrifying person. However, if it were an enemy, it would be a disaster.Dragos replied calmly, "I'm one of the Dracarium Dracoguards, Dragos."Dyron widened his eyes. They were Xayne's men.Xayne was d

    Indeed, at this moment, Xayne had to admit it. While the Christy family had fundamentally misunderstood the origins of formation techniques, their ability to wield them to such a degree was nothing short of extraordinary.No wonder the major organizations held such an ambiguous stance toward the Christy family. Even the Kickboxing Association treated them with near-reverence, like deities.Inside the mansion, the soft cry of a baby echoed once more."That's enough. Let's not disturb the child." Xayne's expression remained calm as he gazed at the swampy ground beneath his feet. His voice was steady, almost indifferent.The crowd froze, their eyes locking onto Xayne as if he were a lunatic.At this point, Xayne could barely move. And yet, he still dared to speak such bold words.'That's enough? Was he serious? Forget everything else—how was he planning to deal with those black vines?' Alfonso thought to himself.And Alfonso had already played all his cards. A seasoned powerhouse l

    Divine's Trance was also a key ingredient in an ancient anesthetic once used by a legendary herbalist known as "Horace Med." The concoction was so potent that even Divine Commanders would succumb to its effects, which led to the name "Divine's Trance."Alfonso clenched his jaw, squinting his eyes as he glared at Xayne.From the sidelines, Madoc muttered, "Looks like Alfonso's in trouble this time. What are the odds of Xayne stumbling upon the drug's weakness like that?"Breaking the effects of Divine's Trance by luck. It was almost laughable how fortunate Xayne was. Had this battle taken place closer to dusk, Alfonso's plan might have succeeded flawlessly. But under the glaring midday sun, fate seemed to favor Xayne.At the start of this fight, Alfonso had been the clear favorite. But one twist after another turned the tide. First, Xayne dismantled Alfonso's "Heavenly Peak's Seven Sword." Now, the sunlight's interference rendered Divine's Trance useless.Even though the warriors o

    At this moment, everyone suddenly realized the truth, this was the true power of the Christy family.The Christy family of Heavenly Peak had always been shrouded in mystery. No one knew how many secrets were hidden in the First Dragon's tomb.Alfonso, despite his seemingly grand presence, was merely a liaison for the Christy family, a small player tasked with managing external relations. And that fact was what made it terrifying.If someone so "insignificant" could employ such overwhelming formations, enough to leave Xayne completely helpless, the true strength of the Christy family might be unimaginable. Previously, Lyuben, representing Heavenly Peak, had battled Xayne in the Drakonix and the result was terrifying. Xayne barely had to break a sweat before defeating and killing Lyuben in front of everyone.But today, Alfonso had rendered Xayne defenseless. The key issue was that ever since the First Dragon was buried deep in history, all its powerful formations had been lost to tim

    "Xayne, feeling numb all over yet?" Alfonso sneered, his voice dripping with triumph."I'll let you in on a little secret. This is the Christy family's unique Blood Acacia! Once it touches you, there's no escaping it. The more you struggle, the faster your strength fades!"Alfonso's expression grew more confident with every word. "The foundation of the Christy family isn't something a brat like you could ever comprehend. Still, you've truly surprised me. To push me to reveal this trump card at your age is no small feat!"He sighed mockingly, "Give you another ten years, perhaps I wouldn't be your match. But today? You're still too weak to go against me!"Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Alfonso exuded a commanding aura, his demeanor now towering and unassailable. His gaze swept over the crowd, those who had just moments ago been prepared to bow before Xayne in submission. His lips curled into a disdainful smirk. "For decades, I, Alfonso, have dominated the world.

    Seeing Xayne leap toward Alfonso, the latter retreating in obvious desperation, most spectators dismissed Madoc's earlier warning as unnecessary. A man on the verge of death couldn't cause any massive chaos.The crowd's focus shifted to Xayne. They were already planning how to bow to him in reverence after he killed Alfonso, hoping their submission would spare their families and circles from annihilation.But just as Xayne closed within five steps of Alfonso, an unexpected shift occurred. Alfonso's eyes suddenly gleamed with an intense light, and his body erupted with blood-red radiance."Let me show you the true foundation of the Christy family!" Alfonso shouted.The sight of the crimson light sent a chill through the crowd. Only now did Madoc's earlier words resurface in their minds, but it was already too late. From Alfonso's body, waves of scarlet light surged outward, radiating an unbearable heat.Xayne frowned slightly as he felt the scorching force. The crimson aura wasn't

    Alfonso let out a roar of fury, raising his Seven Death Star Sword and slashing toward Xayne."Xayne, you may be formidable, but you will never kill me! I am Alfonso! I am the true Divine Commander among the Divine Commanders!" His voice thundered across the battlefield, his words carrying an unyielding arrogance.This strike was unlike any before. It bore no dazzling light, no blinding sword aura, just a simple, slash. Yet, within its simplicity lay an incomprehensible force, an extraordinary power Alfonso himself had never wielded before.For the first time, he wasn't relying on the Christy family's formations. This was his power."Ah, it seems you've finally begun to realize something," Xayne said, his lips curling into a faint smile.The astonishment in Alfonso's eyes betrayed his realization: the notion of "man triumphing over heaven" was no longer an abstract concept but something tangible. But he would never truly grasp its essence.The Scarlet Dragon Lance in Xayne's hand

    Xayne's grip faltered, and the Scarlet Dragon Lance fell to the ground with a resounding metallic thud."Xayne, how does it feel now? Still think the Christy family misunderstood the formation?" Alfonso burst into laughter, his confidence soaring.In his eyes, Xayne was already a defeated, frail old man. Even the weapon in his hand had betrayed him, falling uselessly to the ground. Such a decrepit figure could not pose any threat. Yet just as everyone assumed Xayne's demise was certain, he took a step forward.The moment his foot touched the ground, the world changed. The crimson sun that had dominated the sky began its descent. Scarlet rays dimmed, replaced by the soft glow of twilight. Stars emerged, shimmering in a deep blue sky, and a brilliant full moon rose overhead, bathing the earth in silver light."Time doesn't flow because of your formation, Alfonso. What you create is nothing more than a powerful illusion. The brilliance of the Christy family's formations lies in their

    The Wyncock disciple's trembling voice echoed, his weathered hands shaking as he stared at the elder before him.A mere youth in his twenties, he now bore the visage of an elderly man, his hands calloused, his face etched with wrinkles. His master, barely able to lift his eyelids, cast him a helpless glance before sighing deeply.Alfonso stood proudly, his hands clasped behind his back. Despite the bruises on his face left by Xayne, his demeanor remained arrogant. "Xayne, now do you understand? Time itself is the ultimate weapon. Since my debut, I've never used such a profound formation. You should feel honored. It's a first, just for you!"Alfonso's voice dripped with disdain as he continued, "Since you're about to die, let me unravel the mystery for you. Have you ever wondered why Drakonia has so few Divine Commanders?"The crowd fell silent, the air thick with unease. Alfonso's words struck a nerve. For centuries, Drakonia had produced countless powerful warriors, including Radi

    The crimson sunlight bathed everyone in its eerie glow, aging them by more than a decade in an instant.No one understood what kind of formation this was. Everyone's hearts trembled with fear and disbelief. Even Xayne was not spared. Threads of white hair appeared on his head, and his aging progressed far faster than anyone else's.Watching Xayne wither before his eyes, Alfonso erupted into wild laughter. "Xayne, do you see now? I don't even need my sword to kill you! The Three Absolutes Formation is far beyond your comprehension! Let me enlighten you, this is the Earth's Absolute Formation!"Gasps rippled through the crowd as they absorbed Alfonso's revelation. The Earth's Absolute Formation could accelerate aging at such an incredible rate.Xayne, his face lined with wrinkles and his voice now hoarse and brittle, slowly raised his head. "According to the Christy family's interpretation, the Heaven Absolute Formation stirs storms and commands the wrath of the skies. The Earth's Ab
