Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1552
The once-proud fortifications of the Pavona were effortlessly crushed by the advancing Northern Plains Army's armored vehicles, leaving them in ruins. The Pavona soldiers were in complete disarray. Their worldview had been shattered by the sheer force and dominance of the Northern Plains Army, and they had completely lost the will to fight.In the face of such overwhelming power, Xayne's strategy was straightforward and effective. He could have devised a thousand different attack plans, but this relentless, brute-force approach was the most direct and deadly.As the Northern Plains Army's tanks crushed through the fortifications, the psychological defenses of the Pavona soldiers crumbled just as easily. Watching their defenses being systematically destroyed in the dead of night, they lost all courage to fight against the thousands of Northern Plains soldiers led by Xayne.Many Pavona soldiers began to retreat in panic, heading toward the command center, their last line of defens

Xayne listened attentively as the Pavona soldier confessed, trembling with fear."We deliberately conducted military exercises near the border to provoke you. Those artillery shells were fired on purpose," the soldier said, his voice shaking. "Then, we pretended to invite your envoys for negotiations under the guise of an apology, but we had already planned to assassinate them.""Very well. Now, two final questions. Who ordered this, and who fired the shots at the envoys?" Xayne asked."It was the commander. He gave all the orders and pulled the trigger," the soldier answered."Hand over your commander," Xayne demanded.The soldier turned to his comrades, who exchanged uncertain glances."When I reported to the commander earlier, I saw him packing his things to escape," the reporting soldier added.With a cold snort, Xayne leaped to the highest point of the command center, scanning the area. Sure enough, he spotted a jeep speeding away two kilometers to the east.In a flash,

With that, Xayne left the airport.Lexter's invitation was set for a week later.Although Xayne didn't understand the delay, he quickly realized Lexter was likely preparing something secretly.Therefore, Xayne wasn’t in a rush. He decided to use the time to give Healers Valley a choice.If Lexter didn't back down in time, Xayne wouldn't mind ensuring that he stayed in Folksworth permanently.When Xayne returned to the villa, he hugged Coco, lovingly playing with her.He missed his daughter dearly, even after just one day apart.Xayne simply wished to spend as much time as possible with Coco during her childhood.That evening, when Serena came back, she was not very happy."What's wrong? You don't look well."Xayne walked over to Serena, lying on the sofa, and asked with concern while gently massaging her back.Serena closed her eyes, letting out a comfortable sigh. "The company has been too busy lately. Our new product is facing some issues. We don’t have enough sales channel
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1555
Serena was deep in thought but couldn't come up with a good solution.For the past few days, she had been running around to various sales channels for the new drug, but the responses were always vague and noncommittal.Just then, Serena glanced at her phone and suddenly spotted a news article."The Hwark family from West Dangria plans to open a pharmaceutical branch in Folksworth?"Serena immediately grasped the significance.The Hwark family's branch was already seeking partners in the Folksworth area. She wondered which company would be lucky enough to catch the Hwark family's eye.The Hwark family was a name she wouldn't have known in the past, but now, being immersed in the business world, she was well aware of this giant.The Hwark family wielded immense influence across the central and western regions of Drakonia, with business interests spanning multiple sectors, which include pharmaceuticals, technology, healthcare, real estate, entertainment, and more.Serena Group's an

Meanwhile, a mid-sized villa stood in the affluent district of Folksworth. The villa boasted various luxurious features, including a garden, artificial hills, and a fountain, giving it an upscale feel.A few days ago, Barty purchased this villa as his residence. The ease with which he bought this mid-sized villa spoke volumes about the Hwark family's immense wealth."Mr. Barty, she's in the car now," said a man wearing glasses."Got it. You can go now."A middle-aged man with a corpulent figure lounged in an executive chair, his body causing the chair to creak under the weight.This was Barty, the general manager of the Hwark family's Folksworth branch and a senior member of the Hwark family.Sitting opposite him was a man in his thirties, reading through some documents. His name was Ansel Hwark, and he was also a senior member of the Hwark family and the second-in-command at the branch."She's here and she came alone," Barty said."With our strength, it's only a matter of time
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1557
"All right, now we can talk business, right?" Serena said."Of course. I want Serena Group to be a flagship partner for our branch. What do you think?" Barty replied casually."What do you mean?" Serena asked, frowning."Let me be blunt, Ms. Serena. We're here to dominate the pharmaceutical industry in Folksworth. If you agree to be our vanguard, you'll be handsomely rewarded," Barty said."What? You want to take over Serena Group? I'm sorry, but that's not happening. Our conversation ends here." Serena stood up angrily, realizing their true intentions. They wanted to use her company as a bridge to swallow up other pharmaceutical companies in Folksworth. It was a ludicrous idea."As you wish." Barty shrugged.Serena turned to leave, fuming."Ten, nine, eight, " Ansel started counting down."What are you doing?" Serena sensed something was wrong."Nothing much, I just slipped a little sedative into your coffee," Barty said with a sinister smile."What? You..." Serena tried to

"At least you're not entirely a fool." Barty had no need to deny it, so he nodded."Hmph, dream on. You think tying me up is gonna work?" Serena retorted."Whether it works isn't up to you. Before coming here, we did our research. Your husband dotes on you immensely. You're his only weakness. If we can use you well, even the arrogant King of the North will bow before the Hwark family, submitting to us in the West Dangria," Barty sneered.This was their plan, the two brothers' scheme.If even the King of the North from Drakonia were to submit to the Hwark family, they could become the foremost clan in the country."You're despicable and shameless," Serena cursed."Enough of that. Go ahead and curse all you want. Let's see how your husband reacts when he finds out you've been kidnapped," Barty said, centering Serena in a video.Before long, both Barty and Ansel appeared."Make the call," Barty instructed.Ansel chuckled and immediately dialed a number."Hello, Serena Group? You

"Yes. I'll contact the Folksworth Military Headquarters immediately," Draven replied, swiftly executing the command.Ten minutes later, anyone standing at a high point in Folksworth would see armed soldiers pouring in from all directions, converging in a pincer formation towards a single point, their speed astonishing.Inside the room, Serena was lying on the bed, tears streaking down her face.She tried to struggle, but the bindings were too tight, and the drugs had weakened her body."Xayne, please don't come," Serena murmured.She didn't want Xayne to come because she knew the other side must have set traps waiting for him."It's already half past six in the evening. Won't the King of the North come?" Ansel said nonchalantly."I don't know. Anyway, if he doesn't come, this girl will be for you. It would still be worth our time," Barty remarked."That's true. I'll go take a shower first. In case we have to go into battle later," Ansel said gleefully, preparing to go wash up.

"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
