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
With a single move, Draven was defeated.This was the power of a rising Divine Commander. Even a Celestial Warrior was like an ant in the face of such overwhelming strength.Theodora glanced at the rolling, incapacitated Draven, then turned and strode toward the fiercely battling Xayne.Suddenly, a cold wind swept from behind, followed by the icy gleam of a dagger aimed at her back.Theodora frowned in anger. With a swift sidestep, she raised her hand, executing a formidable Eight Trigram Palm toward the assailant.Her palm struck Draven squarely in the chest, sending him flying several meters away again.Draven tumbled to the ground, his chest and back wracked with excruciating pain. He spat out several mouthfuls of blood, his eyes bloodshot. He raised a trembling hand to wipe the blood from his mouth, clutching the dagger tightly as he glared defiantly at the enraged Theodora.Theodora, seeing Draven’s determination, frowned and questioned, "Why are you doing this? You’re no m
The dark sky was split by lightning, and a loud crack sound rang.Soon, raindrops began to fall from the sky, steadily growing heavier, and splashing on the ground. It raised dust, mixing with the blood pool beneath Draven.The air was thick with the scent of earth and blood.At that moment, Xayne, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Campress, Iyas, and Crawford, had sustained numerous injuries. His blood-soaked body stood as a testament to the brutality of the fight.When Xayne saw Draven lying lifeless in the blood pool, an overwhelming fury and battle intent erupted from within him like a dragon's roar piercing the heavens."Draven!"In a split second, Xayne delivered a punch so powerful, it produced a boom. It clashed directly with Campress's fist, forcing him back several steps.Simultaneously, he hurled his Ravenclaw Dagger, striking Iyas's black-gold dagger, driving him back as well.Then, he lunged forward, releasing flying needles that collided with the silver
