Iyas was the head of the Bullard family. 'What is he doing in Folksworth?!' On top of that, he had given a letter to Serena. That meant that while Xayne was away, someone as powerful as Iyas, nearly at the rising Divine Commander, had approached Serena.Xayne's face tensed, his body trembled slightly, and he felt a wave of tension and fear. If Iyas, with his rising Divine Commander strength, wanted to harm Serena, not even Draven or her bodyguards could stand a chance. If Iyas intended to use Serena to threaten him, the consequences could be dire.Taking a deep breath, Xayne pocketed the letter, forcing a pained smile onto his face."Honey, what's wrong? You look upset... Is it just that you’re exhausted from these past few days?" Serena had noticed the change in Xayne's expression and asked with concern.Xayne smiled, shaking his head. "Nothing. Go keep Coco company."Serena nodded and turned to leave.Xayne stood on the villa's lawn, gazing up at the starry sky with an inte
The oppressive atmosphere around made Xayne feel uneasy.He stepped forward, following the narrow trail toward Dragonite Valley.After about five minutes, he spotted a gazebo at the valley's entrance with a sign reading "Dragonite Pavilion" in bold letters.This was the famous Dragonite Pavilion.Countless historical figures had dismounted here to rest, only to meet their end in the valley beyond.At that moment, a middle-aged man was sitting in the pavilion, sipping tea.Xayne approached and sat down across from him, recognizing the man immediately.It was none other than Iyas.Iyas saw Xayne coming and smiled faintly, offering him a cup of tea. "Xayne, it's been a while. I see you've made great progress, already a step away from becoming a rising Divine Commander."Xayne glanced at the teacup and smiled calmly. "Master Iyas, what brings you here today?"Silence filled the air.Iyas gently set his teacup down and looked sharply at Xayne. "We're here to slay a dragon."A ch
Watching the three masked figures in front of him, Xayne chuckled calmly. "I never imagined I'd trouble the four of you esteemed leaders to join forces against me."Draven's eyes gleamed with fierce determination as he stood resolutely by Xayne's side. He was ready to fight, buying time for Xayne to escape if needed.Iyas sneered. "Xayne, this canyon will be your grave today. You have no chance of survival. Hand over the fragments of the Heavenly Tome if you want to keep your corpse intact."As for your wife, children, and relatives? We can spare them. How about it?"Silence fell over the area.Xayne laughed coldly. "Master Iyas, do you think I'd agree to your terms?"Iyas smirked. "In that case, don't blame us for what happens next!"As soon as his words ended, a booming sound rang as Iyas struck first, slamming his palm onto the stone table before him. The table shattered into pieces, which flew toward Xayne as if pulled by an invisible force.Before Xayne could react, Draven
Within a ten-mile radius, birds suddenly took to the sky, startled by the commotion, their cries echoing in the air.Iyas staggered back half a step, while Xayne, still seated on the stone stool, had not moved an inch. This sight sent shivers through Iyas and the three masked leaders with him.The strength of Xayne was undeniable. He had managed to push Iyas back, even though Iyas had been at the rising Divine Commander level for years. Xayne, on the other hand, had only recently reached this level in a few short months. The thought was terrifying. Xayne was truly a prodigy. If he continued to grow, he might surpass the rising Divine Commander level and reach a Divine Commander. At that point, the four great families could face extinction.The three masked leaders stepped forward, their eyes under the masks sharp, cold, and piercing. One of them, a burly figure in a fiery red suit and flame mask, spoke with a steady voice. "Xayne, surrender now. Today, the four of us are enough to
In a terrifying moment, the four rising Divine Commanders launched a coordinated attack on Xayne.Xayne squinted before he responded with lightning speed. His hand moved, releasing the Ravenclaw Dagger that arced through the air, a silver trajectory slicing toward Iyas's incoming kick. Simultaneously, Xayne delivered a powerful punch to counter Campress's clawing grasp, while his right hand drew a dozen needles from his waist, launching them to intercept Crawford's incoming needles.Soon after, Xayne's right fist met Theodora's powerful palm strike.Xayne, in an instant, countered the attacks of the four rising Divine Commanders single-handedly.In the blink of an eye, Iyas was forced back by Xayne's dagger. Campress found his claw grasped and held by Xayne's left hand. In mid-air, the silver needles from the Crawford clashed with Xayne's, producing a metallic cacophony as they scattered in all directions. Theodora's palm strike was neutralized by Xayne's right fist.With just h
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard as a punch was thrown between them.Immediately, Xayne and Iyas staggered back several steps before regaining their balance.At this moment, Iyas’s mouth was already bleeding, and he had clearly taken several punches and kicks to the face and body.Xayne was not faring much better either, with bruises forming on his chest and around his eye from two solid hits."You're strong! But today, you must die!" Iyas roared, wiping the blood from his mouth. His eyes blazed with murderous intent.He raised his hand, and a gleaming golden dagger slipped from his sleeve.The handle was carved with a golden dragon, and the blade glinted ominously, exuding a chilling and deadly aura.‘A top-tier weapon!’Xayne instantly recognized that the dagger in Iyas’s hand was a top-tier weapon, possibly among the finest of its kind."Die!" Iyas shouted, his feet pounded the ground, and he lunged forward, slashing the dagger ferociously at Xayne’s throat.The blade, glin
As soon as the words left his mouth, Iyas and the three other heads of families stepped forward in unison, their cold eyes fixed on Xayne and Draven.Iyas sneered, "Xayne, today, you two are doomed! Why not surrender? Do you think you and this worthless subordinate of yours can defeat us?"Xayne let out a chilling laugh, his eyes blazing with terrifying fighting spirit, his aura surging like a tidal wave."How will we know if we don't try? Even if I can't defeat the four of you today, I'll give everything to take you down, Iyas!""Arrogant fool! You’re courting death!" Iyas roared, then barked orders to the three family heads beside him, "Don't hesitate! Attack together and finish this quickly! After today, Drakonia will belong to our four families! Even the Emperor will bow to us!"The three masked heads exchanged glances, reading the same resolve in each other's eyes.In a flash, they stepped forward simultaneously."Commander Xayne, we’re sorry, but today you must die!" decla
An explosive shockwave erupted from the collision of their fists, rippling outward in a powerful, circular wave.The sheer force of the blast produced a loud bang as it shattered the ancient towering trees around them. Even the ground beneath Xayne and Campress could not withstand the impact of two rising Divine Commanders clashing, and it cracked and crumbled.To everyone's astonishment, Xayne stood firm, unharmed after withstanding Campress's punch.Campress narrowed his eyes, landing gracefully and stepping back several paces. He stared in disbelief at Xayne, whose feet were now embedded in the fractured ground. A smile crept across his face. "Impressive, King of the North. You withstood my punch. Such strength is indeed terrifying. Honestly, I'm reluctant to kill you. With your talent, why not join the Duart family? Become my adopted son, and I will ensure your safety."Campress had developed a genuine appreciation for Xayne's potential. At his age, possessing such power was
