Chapter 166
Author: Blanco Burn
Eric was furious. He scoffed and yelled, “What do you think you’re doing?! Are you trying to trade the entire family for that troublemaker?”

Tony remained speechless as he kneeled, repeatedly bowing. However, Eric ignored him and respectfully told the commanding officer, “Sir, please follow me.”

The commanding officer and his soldier prepared to leave, but Tony stood up and blocked their path. “No! I won’t allow you to take my daughter!”

The commanding officer kicked Tony away and raised his hand, ordering, “Detain him!”

Immediately after, two soldiers pinned Tony to the ground.

“I-I can’t allow this! She’s my daughter, damn it!” Tony exclaimed from the ground as tears rolled down his face. Still, his efforts to get up were futile.

The soldiers even kicked Violet away when she tried to intervene. The commanding officer scoffed before leading his men toward the yard with Eric.

Serena was playing with Coco as the little one ran around. Suddenly, a loud bang echoed, and the gate fl

    The commanding officer glared at Coco, who was crying on the ground. He commanded, “Take them with us now!”Soon, a few soldiers restrained Serena and lifted her from the ground while another scooped Coco up. The soldiers were ruthless, and their actions were harsh."Mommy, help me. Let go of me and Mommy," Coco struggled and sobbed.“Coco, don’t be scared! Mommy’s here. They’re just playing with us. They must’ve made a mistake. It’s okay, baby.” Serena comforted her daughter in a panic.‘Xayne, didn’t you promise to protect us? Where are you?’“Xayne! Help!” Serena’s voice broke as her eyes darted around for him.Meanwhile, the other Swift family members ignored everything.Serena saw her family outside as the soldiers dragged her out. She broke free from them to kneel. She cried as her forehead reddened from continuously knocking it on the ground, pleading, “Grandpa, I beg you. Please save Coco.”Eric’s lips shivered as he shook off Serena’s grip on his pants. He spat, “You’r

    Coco stood up and raised her tiny hand. She smiled and excitedly pointed at her father, crying, “Daddy’s here to save us, Mommy! Xayne’s fury erupted as he observed the soldiers jumping out of the trucks. He thundered, “Release my wife and daughter, and I’ll spare your lives!”“You imbecile! How dare you obstruct a military vehicle?! We should execute you according to military law!” The commanding officer raised an eyebrow and waved. Immediately after, several soldiers rushed forward to subdue Xayne.Boom!A murderous aura erupted from Xayne as he leaped forward, shoving several soldiers aside. Then he grabbed the commanding officer’s throat and slammed him into the hood.Bang! Poof!A loud explosion echoed as the truck’s hood buckled under the pressure, and its front tires burst. The terrifying scene shocked the soldiers, and they aimed their guns at Xayne. “Release the commanding officer, or we’ll open fire!”Even the departing Swift family members were startled by the commot

    Click!The commanding officer released his gun’s safety catch. However, he hesitated in the next second because of Xayne’s gaze. The officer saw an ocean of blood and a formidable army in Xayne’s eyes.Xayne’s aura overwhelmed the commanding officer.‘H-How horrifying!’The commanding officer felt the man before him resembled a Supreme Commander with an invincible army.“Do it! Shoot!” Xayne thundered, causing the officer to stagger back several steps.“What the hell are you saying?! Are you trying to scare me?” The commanding officer grew furious and almost pulled the trigger, but someone shouted, “Don’t you dare! I’ll kill you if you pull that trigger!”Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!Kieth led a battalion of armed soldiers and charged forward. They surrounded the soldiers Adrian had sent, creating a tense atmosphere.

    Xayne froze, but he did not blame Serena, even though his cheeks stung from her slap. Instead, he smiled because he knew her scolding was how she showed concern.“Mommy, please don’t cry. Coco’s fine.” The little girl lifted her gaze and held her mother’s hand. The former looked pitiful, with her big eyes brimming with unshed tears.Serena wiped her tears and crouched, asking, “Coco, are you hurt? Let Mommy take a look.”She lifted the little one’s clothes and saw a large red patch on her back. Serena’s heart ached, and she turned to Xayne. "Hurry, take Coco to the hospital."Xayne realized the severity of the situation and took Coco from Serena's arms, rushing toward the hospital.Meanwhile, everyone standing at the Swift family’s residence was shocked."What a disaster! We've offended Adrian!""It's worse than that! Even Lieutenant Linford got involved. We might need to disappear from Venzor.""Dad, you need to think of a solution. Xayne and Serena have angered the Lennings.

    Xayne and Serena were busy tending to their daughter at the hospital. Thankfully, she faced no severe issues besides soft tissue injuries requiring only a few days of rest to heal. Coco, who initially seemed unfazed by the pain, was now crying and did not want to move.Serena’s heart ached when she saw Coco’s discomfort, while Xayne looked determined.‘It seems Adrian wants to die!’Xayne and Serena prepared to leave after Coco’s examination. As they were about to depart, a sarcastic voice sounded behind them, “Oh? Xayne, I never expected to see you here, of all places.”Xayne turned and saw a handsome man in designer clothes approaching. An attractive woman with an air of arrogance accompanied the man. However, the woman’s appearance was overly futuristic and clashed with her overall look.“You are?” Xayne frowned. The man before him looked familiar, but Xayne could not remember who he was.“What a nobleman you are, Xayne. Always too busy to remember things, huh? I only went awa

    Wyatt brimmed with disdain as he scorned Xayne, “Hahaha, you’re right. I’ll always be like this because that’s who I am. I will humiliate the former elite Xayne Xavier by crushing him under my foot. It’ll make me feel good.“You were always arrogant and looked down on me, right? Oh, how the tables have turned.”Xayne shook his head faintly. “It’s not that I looked down on you. I’m sorry, but I genuinely never cared about you. Do you have something else to say? If you’re just here to taunt me, you’ve succeeded.”Xayne turned and prepared to leave with the puzzled Serena again.However, his confidence and indifference infuriated Wyatt.“Xayne, stop right there!” Wyatt roared and gripped Xayne’s collar. “Who do you think you are? Do you still think you’re the former glorious heir to the Xaviers? You’re just a mutt now!“I’m not afraid of you, Xayne. You brought your daughter to the hospital, didn’t you? Then it’s over, buddy. The Hugos are on the hospital’s board of directors. I can

    “Who are you to treat Mr. Xayne with such disrespect?!” Donovan strode over and glared at Wyatt.Donovan was livid. He had come to the hospital for a check-up but witnessed someone berating and blocking Xayne instead. ‘Mr. Xayne is the secret boss of Shalholm’s richest man, Chuck Lavy! He’s someone even I look up to.’Xayne was not someone Donovan simply looked up to. The former’s presence made all of Shalholm’s elites kneel. Donovan was outraged when a small fry like Wyatt disrespected Xayne.Wyatt was stunned as he faced Donovan and his subordinates. Wyatt trembled from fear but did not recognize Donovan. Although the latter was well-known in Shalholm, many had never seen his appearance.Since Wyatt had just returned from abroad, he was among those unfamiliar with the middle-aged man before him.“Who are you?” Wyatt frowned. His voice sounded cold, but he did not want to escalate things."You don't even know who I am?" Donovan scoffed as anger burned in his eyes.‘It seems m

    Wyatt looked around in puzzlement as if he had just realized something. He frowned and asked, “Y-You’re Shalholm’s Grim Reaper?!”"That's right!" Donovan thundered as the veins on his forehead pulsed."Nonsense! I've had dinner with Shalholm's Grim Reaper before. How dare you impersonate him? Security, take them down!" Wyatt shouted.Donovan was enraged. Indeed, he had dined with Caspian years ago. Still, due to his physical training, Donovan had changed in appearance over the years.“All right, guys! Subdue that ignorant kid for me!” Donovan roared as he raised his hand in command.Over a dozen subordinates rushed toward Wyatt, overpowering the hospital security guards who were protecting Wyatt.Wyatt panicked and yelled, “Don’t come any closer! I’m the son of the Hugos! My father is Caspian Hugo. If you dare lay a finger on me, my dad will fuck you up.”Donovan strode forward and smacked Wyatt, sending him crashing to the ground. Donovan spoke coldly, “Go ahead and call your d

    "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

    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

    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
