Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1485
Serena sat on the couch, gently touching her neck. Her mind was filled with the image of Xayne covered in blood. She could not help but zone out.When she recalled the scene in the lab, especially the critical moment when Xayne appeared, her eyes sparkled with a sense of happiness.In no time, Xayne returned, holding a small medicine bottle. He held up the red bottle and said, "Stay still."Serena immediately straightened up, obediently sitting like a well-behaved child. Upon closer inspection, her neck was as fair as snow, with bruises starkly visible, some even seeping blood."This medicine will heal the scars and regenerate the skin. It's very effective," Xayne said as he poured some of the liquid into his hand and rubbed his palms together to warm it up. "My wife is so beautiful, it wouldn’t be right for her neck to have scars."Hearing this, Serena looked up at Xayne, her eyes shining brightly."It might sting a bit at first, but then it'll feel cool. Just bear with it," Xay

"I'll go with you." Serena insisted as she stood up. She knew what Xayne was about to do and wanted to see it for herself.Xayne shook his head, looking at Serena with a gentle yet firm gaze. "No, you can't go. Stay here and wait."Xayne knew Serena was smart, and his eyes showed a hint of tenderness as he looked at her. However, this tenderness was coupled with an undeniable resolve. "The scene will be pretty gruesome. You're a woman, and it might leave you with nightmares," he explained.After all, there was one person severely injured and another dead. Xayne intended to use some brutal methods to uncover the mastermind behind the attack. Bringing Serena along would not be appropriate and could complicate his plans."But they came here to kill me," Serena stubbornly insisted. She walked up to Xayne, looking into his eyes with determination. "This is related to me. I have to go!"Xayne frowned, feeling helpless. "All right, but I'm warning you, it's going to be bloody. If you can

Xayne did not pay attention to how Serena was reacting. Instead, he crouched beside Ozark's corpse. Sometimes, corpses tell the underlying truth. He ripped open Ozark's lab coat, exposing his entire body. Pale skin, some bruising, and a completely collapsed chest that felt soft and squishy like cotton.Serena frowned with a nauseating urge, but she stood her ground. Xayne examined the body thoroughly. Aside from some wounds, there were no other distinguishing marks or identifiers.'No tattoos or marks to indicate his affiliation with a killer organization?'Xayne shook his head and walked to the unconscious Ziglar, giving him a few kicks. Ziglar awoke in pain, gasping as the agony in his knees and shoulders hit him.Opening his eyes, he saw Xayne's smiling face and instinctively assumed a defensive posture. However, moving aggravated his wounds, causing blood to gush out."I advise you not to move. It'll speed up your blood loss and lead to shock," Xayne said while grinning. His k

"Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know."Ziglar hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage to agree. He could not afford to gamble. He did not know what this man in front of him would do to him. For him, time equaled life. He hoped that by being forthright, he might gain some mercy.However, Ziglar was wrong. From the start, Xayne had no intention of letting him go."Who are you? Or rather, where are you from?" Xayne asked, thinking of the first question."We're from Deathly Stingers, a nationwide assassin organization," Ziglar replied, hoping the name of his organization would intimidate Xayne. But to his surprise, Xayne did not even flinch, not even a slight change in his expression.Ziglar assumed Xayne was not familiar with assassin organizations, so he exaggerated further. "Assassin organizations are nothing like street gangs. We're worlds apart. Street fights are child's play compared to us. Ozark and I are top-tier assassins in Deathly Stingers, which ranks among

"Flame King! That guy said it earlier. The mastermind is the Flame King!"Beside them, Serena suddenly interjected, pointing to the now-lifeless body of Ozark.'Flame King?!'Hearing that name, Xayne frowned deeply, and rage erupted in his chest."Him again, damn it!"Flames of fury ignited in Xayne's eyes.Ziglar immediately felt the wave of murderous intent pouring off Xayne, as overwhelming as a flood. The killing intent was like a demon, making him feel like he was in hell.Xayne sneered, "Flame King, I haven't even gone after you yet, and you strike first!"Since the enemy had made a move, there was no need for Xayne to hold back anymore. He would do everything to protect Serena.Even if it meant going up against an entire assassin organization, so be it.The fierce determination in Xayne's eyes grew stronger, and it was terrifying to behold.He crossed his arms and spoke coldly, "Deadly Stingers, I don't think your organization needs to exist anymore. Since you dared t

On the other end of the line, Draven, located in Drakonia, had just stepped out of a mansion. Behind him, flames roared, and explosions rang out.The entire mansion was engulfed in a sea of fire, with countless figures blown skyward by the blasts.Draven, wearing sunglasses and a black trench coat, took a drag on his cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke. He spoke into his phone. "Drakon King, we found it. There's an estate in Seven Dragons Mountain housing Flame King's secret base. But according to the intel, it's heavily guarded."Xayne, gazing at the cityscape of Folksworth, replied, "Got it. Keep monitoring it. In three days, I'm going to Seven Dragons Mountain to take out Flame King!""Yes, Dragon King!" Draven responded, then hopped onto a motorcycle parked at the mansion's entrance. He glanced at the inferno behind him, a wicked smile playing at his lips, before revving the engine and speeding away.After hanging up, Xayne made another call to Ace at the Northern Plains Mi

Flame King frowned when he heard this, coughing even more violently.The new anti-cancer drug developed by Serena Group was something Flame King had to obtain. His body was being slowly consumed by cancer cells.Although he had been relying on medication and chemotherapy, time was running out for Flame King.The new anti-cancer drug developed by Serena Group reignited his hope for life.That was why he went to such great lengths, arranging for people to infiltrate the Serena Group and steal the research data.However, the plan failed."Yes, the two experts from the Deathly Stingers are dead," the officer reported. "However, fortunately, we had a backup plan. There's a third person. Whether it succeeds depends on the third person now."Upon hearing this, Flame King's eyes gleamed with a cold, fierce light.Serena Group was empty by the time it was around midnight. Due to the day's unexpected events, the company had closed early and the research lab's doors were tightly shut.Se

The drop was silent.There was actually someone else in the research lab.Dinko and his team had thoroughly checked the place, confirming no one was inside. Yet, the sudden appearance of this figure was baffling.As Dinko and his team were meticulously inspecting each lab, this person silently slipped through the main door. Then, he leaped into the air and spread his limbs to cling firmly to the ceiling, completely unnoticed.After Dinko and his team left, they returned to the security room to rest, confiding they didn't need to recheck. Additionally, someone was monitoring the cameras, ensuring that any movement in the research lab would be seen immediately. They felt assured.However, those in the surveillance room were unaware that their feed had been tampered with. They were watching a static loop of the footage.So, no matter what happened inside the lab, they wouldn't notice a thing.The figure that appeared silently in the lab made no noise as it landed and stealthily mov

"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
