Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1285
Xayne's cold eyes scanned the guests and spoke, "You should have noticed the unusual movements at the borders of Folksworth, right? Blood Butcher, who has occupied Folksworth for nearly a decade, has escaped today and is nowhere to be found. From today onward, Folksworth will welcome a new Commander-in-Chief of the military."A reporter interjected, "You've said so much, but where's the substantial evidence?"Xayne sneered, "What if I say the new Commander-in-Chief of the Folksworth Military Headquarters is Ritchie?"The crowd was stunned.Despite his high status and influence, Ritchie had never been involved with the military headquarters. He didn’t understand how he suddenly ascended to such a position when Blood Butcher was removed.Ritchie stood beside Xayne and nudged him. "Are you sure about this? This is no joke. It will be disgraceful to Folksworth Association if I don't fulfill the role."Xayne gave Ritchie a determined smile and then clapped his hands, saying, "Bring

A reporter asked, "What can you reveal regarding General Blood Butcher's wrongdoings, Supreme Commander? Do you believe his behavior doesn't merit his position as the Commander-in-Chief?"Xayne didn't shy away from the topic and bluntly stated, "Blood Butcher's greatest offense was targeting me, a meritorious official, and attacking a soldier's family. He deserved his fate. As for his qualifications, I believe that's obvious."Another reporter queried, "Mr. Ritchie, what do you think is the reason you received the Emperor's appointment and became the Commander-in-Chief of Folksworth?"Ritchie hesitated, having no clear answer to the question.Xayne interjected, "Mr. Ritchie witnessed the rise of Folksworth and contributed significantly to its prosperity. Without him, Folksworth wouldn't be what it is today. Don't you think he deserves this position?"In truth, Ritchie wasn't qualified to be the Commander-in-Chief of Folksworth. However, influenced by Xayne's recommendation, the Em

Unlike the bustling excitement of the city, the Rodriguez residence felt as if it was shrouded in a heavy cloud, eerily quiet as if it had undergone some kind of devastation.It was not surprising that Blood Butcher had disappeared entirely, and Ritchie now succeeded the commander-in-chief of the city.Ritchie was the president of the Folksworth Association. There was no guarantee he wouldn't abuse his power to suppress the Rodriguez family, allowing the Taxon family to rise to power in the city.Moreover, Ritchie wasn't particularly friendly toward the Rodriguez family.From a certain perspective, the Taxon and the Rodriguez families were rivals.Blood Butcher's downfall was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Rodriguez family.After all, their biggest supporter had fallen, and in a city where the situation was rapidly changing, the Rodriguez family's position was likely precarious.Mink, the head of the Rodriguez family, and the butler exchanged whispered words in the lob

It seemed that the King of the North was hiding somewhere in Folksworth, secretly watching the movements of Folksworth's business families.Mink searched his memory, trying to recall who the King of the North was.Ritchie had swiftly risen from the president of Folksworth's Association to the Military Commander of Folksworth. This could be due to the favor of the King of the North.When this thought crossed his mind, Mink immediately thought of one person, Xayne.The man who had taken control of Folksworth's largest hotel upon his arrival, the man who had caught the attention of Blood Butcher, the man whom Ritchie treated with the utmost respect."Could it be Xayne?" Mink blurted out.With a nod from Cillian, it was indeed Xayne.Mink looked at Cillian, his eyes flickering with fear and bitterness."This is it. It's all over now," Mink said lifelessly. "The moment Xayne arrived in Folksworth, he clashed with Francis. If he discovers the relationship between the Rodriguez family
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1289
Mink could only hope that the King of the North hadn't discovered the relationship between the Rodriguez family and Blood Butcher yet. They had to disappear from Folksworth and hide their identities to survive when the King of the North realized the truth.He grabbed Cillian's arm and said urgently, "Cillian, quickly instruct my family to pack up. We need to leave Folksworth tonight. The farther, the better, and never come back."Cillian reminded, "Sir, are we giving up all the wealth we've accumulated in Folksworth? Those are assets you've worked decades for."Mink shook his head. "We need to save our lives first. There's no time to worry about material possessions."Cillian nodded. "Understood. I'll make the arrangements."Without hesitation, he quickly left the hall.However, as Cillian approached the door, he ran into a house guard.The guard was unremarkable except for his fiery red hair.He had just come out of Francis's courtyard and dashed into the main hall, shouting,
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1290
Today, he would take down Xayne and settle the score himself.The red-haired guard hurriedly caught up, stopping Francis. "Mr. Francis, please don't go in."Francis turned around angrily, glaring at the red-haired guard. "What did you say? Do you think I can't handle Xayne? Last time, I only had four bodyguards with me, but this time is different. I brought a whole group of men. Can Xayne handle all of us?"Without hesitation, the red-haired guard replied, "No, I believe in your strength, Mr. Francis. But it's the Master's order. Maybe he's worried about you getting hurt. After all, you're the only heir of the Rodriguez family. What if Xayne tries to harm you?"Francis pushed up his sunglasses and said sternly, "Listen, Xayne won't leave the hotel alive today. Pretend you didn't find me and report back."Caught between the master and the young master, the guard dared not speak and could only shrink back.Ignoring the guard, Francis shouted, "Let's go! Charge and take down that lo
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1291
In an instant, the Rodriguez family guards surrounded Xayne and Serena. Francis swaggered forward with arrogance and stood in front of Xayne and Serena. With a cold smile, he removed his sunglasses and asked, "Remember who I am?" Xayne frowned and ignored Francis, shielding Serena as he headed toward their room. This disregard only fueled Francis's anger to its peak. He shouted angrily, "Men! Surround him and beat him to a pulp! If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility!" In a flash, more than ten Rodriguez family guards surrounded Xayne and Serena and began throwing punches and kicks. Xayne snorted coldly, raising his hand and instantly knocking the more than ten guards to the ground. "Ah! Ah!" The guards clutched their heads and legs, wincing in pain. Xayne scanned the area and fixed his gaze on Francis. Francis felt a chill as Xayne stared at him, his body covered in goosebumps. Previously, Francis thought he lost to Xayne because he only had four bo

Mink rushed in from the entrance, out of breath and drenched in sweat. Francis saw his father rush in and burst into tears, crying, "Dad, finally you’re here! Xayne’s bullying me. He beat me up! You have to get someone to finish them off..." Francis didn’t understand why his father had come. He thought he was there to back him up. As soon as the words left his mouth, Mink slapped him across the face, sending Francis sprawling to the ground. He pointed at his son and yelled, "You ungrateful fool! What nonsense are you spewing? Do you want to kill Mr. Xayne? Are you trying to die?" Francis was stunned. He lay on the ground, clutching his cheek and staring in disbelief. Then, he witnessed something he never thought possible. His father, the head of the Rodriguez family, one of the country's wealthiest and most powerful men, suddenly knelt in front of Xayne, bowing humbly as he pleaded, "Commander Xayne, I apologize for my delay. My ungrateful son offended you. I don’t ask fo

"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
Chapter 2685
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
