Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1780
"They won't be satisfied by losing a battle. They'll send more troops. We need to set up an ambush ahead of time, right along this defensive line!"Xayne drew a horizontal line on the map. This area was the border with the Tri-Lion Empire. It was the most dangerous spot, the enemy's most vigilant location.Setting up an ambush here was extremely difficult, potentially putting themselves in the enemy's crosshairs."Everyone, prepare your rations and gear. We need to lay in and wait here. We will catch them off guard and crush their morale!"Even though it was a risky tactic, Xayne insisted on pushing it to the limit, where his soldiers would face immense danger. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. If they successfully ambushed the enemy, it would be a devastating blow.Only Xayne could devise such a bold strategy. He trusted his soldiers because they were the Northern Plains army, capable of executing such tactics. Other commanders wouldn't dare gamble their soldiers' liv
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1781
They were all terrified of the King of the North. Just the thought of Xayne's fearsome visage made them tremble.Previously, they had dispatched 300,000 of Arnold’s troops. They surrounded the Northern Plains army to destroy them. Everyone thought it was a guaranteed victory. Unexpectedly, they suffered a crushing defeat, and even Arnold was killed in a single charge by Xayne."Are you telling me that none of your men dare to face Xayne? Do they not want to win?" Barney looked at them in disbelief.After a long silence, a general from the Fran Empire stood up. "We once organized a coalition to launch a surprise attack on the Northern Plains army, but we failed. We want revenge. I have a great general, Thor, named after the god of thunder. He's known for his prowess in ground combat, earning the nickname Thunderer.""I believe our Thunderer can take on the King of the North. What do you say, General Thor?"A tall, muscular man stepped forward, waving to the assembly. "Hello everyon
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1782
Thor sat among his troops as they arrived at the defensive line, and he mobilized everyone to start fortifying."Man, it's freezing here. If we don't set up strongholds, we might not even be able to move our feet," Thor complained while rubbing his hands for warmth as he arrived at the frontline.If they could establish strong points here, it would lay the foundation for a coalition victory. They would push forward continuously and provide the coalition with supply and rest areas, becoming a haven for them.Feeling invigorated by this thought, Thor stood at the front of the defense line. He began to undress, planning to relieve himself in the wind for a bit of a morale boost.However, as soon as he dropped his pants, a bullet pierced his forehead. He still had a smile on his face as he fell backward, lifeless.The coalition troops were stunned. They turned to see their commander had been shot dead by a sniper."Is this guy an idiot? He is dressed so conspicuously as a general, an
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1783
After losing two battles, they were at a loss for how to deal with Xayne."Take a break for now," Barney said while rubbing his temples wearily. "Let's not get too disheartened. We still have enough resources to put into this fight. Go back and rest well."This strategy was Barney's idea. The fact that the enemy broke it so quickly was a significant blow to his pride."Is this King of the North really that formidable? He seems to predict every move and controls the battlefield with such precision."Barney's confidence was waning as Xayne's uncanny foresight eroded it.Just then, an assistant said, "I think something's off here. It's very likely someone tipped off the King of the North, giving him time to prepare.""You mean they had prior insights? Are you suggesting there's a spy among us?" Barney asked."Think about it. Arnold died on the battlefield because they found our base. If no one tipped them off, how could the King of the North's troops have known Arnold's location an
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1784
Meanwhile, two figures were dressed in white on a distant snowy mountain peak miles away. They stood against the snowy backdrop.One of them, an elderly man with snow-white hair and a ruddy complexion, stood at the peak. His hands were behind his back, and his eyes gleamed with a piercing light.Behind him was a man in his thirties with a serious face, sharp eyebrows, and eyes like stars. He was exuding a chilling aura. These two stood on the mountaintop, their presence radiating an overwhelming coldness, adding a sharp, murderous intent to the snowy expanse.Xayne frowned as he held Red Rose in his arms. A dozen silver needles shot out from his palm with a flick of his hand. They spiraled like silver serpents, piercing into various acupoints on Red Rose's body to staunch the bleeding.Red Rose's face turned pale. She looked at the enraged Xayne and said weakly, "Supreme Commander, I'm sorry…""Don't speak. Rest now. Leave the rest to me," Xayne said softly. He handed Red Rose t

"Get down! Everyone get down!"Almost instantly, the towering snowstorm, dozens of meters high, drowned out these shouts. The entire snowy landscape was engulfed in a blinding flurry of white as it completely buried the allied troops.Meanwhile, Xayne's battle with the two figures raged on. The younger man was clutching his chest, staring intensely at Xayne from several dozen meters away with a pale face."Step back! I will take him down!" the old man commanded, his eyes blazing with murderous intent."Master!" the younger man protested as he frowned."Step back! You are no match for him! Do not hold me back!" the old man insisted.Reluctantly, the younger man retreated several meters, glaring at Xayne maliciously. Inside, he seethed with anger and frustration, feeling it was a missed opportunity to fight the King of the North.The old man's eyes were like cold steel as he locked onto Xayne. "King of the North, surrender now! Today, I will cut you down on this snowy field!"Xay
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1786
In an instant, the old man lunged at Xayne. His longsword aimed straight for Xayne's heart. Xayne did not retreat. Instead, he charged forward. He launched his Ravenclaw Dagger, which whirled through the air, brimming with lethal intent.Within seconds, they had exchanged over a dozen blows as loud clangs were heard, neither gaining the upper hand. Their silhouettes darted across the snowy terrain, their movements whipping up fierce snowstorms.Xayne and the old man clashed fists, generating a thunderous explosion that unleashed a terrifying shockwave. Immediately, the snow-covered peaks around them began to fracture, and the snow cascaded down like a white deluge, pouring into the valley below.The allied forces, several kilometers away and just getting back on their feet, saw the oncoming avalanche."Ah! Avalanche! Run!""Move it! Get out of here!"The soldiers fled as panic ensued. They abandoned their gear in their desperate bid to escape. However, the avalanche roared down

Xayne stood quite a distance away, holding the gleaming Ravenclaw Dagger. His eyes focused and cold as he stared at the elder. Then, he charged forward again as his aura was fully unleashed.Seeing this, the elder frowned and roared, "Arrogant whelp! You're courting death!"As his words were spoken, the elder also rushed toward Xayne, with anger and resolve burning in his eyes. Never before had someone dared to defy him like this, repeatedly launching such bold attacks.The next moment, as a swish sound was heard, an arm holding a long sword was severed. It flew through the air before falling to the ground, splattering the snow with blood."Ahhh!" The elder clutched his bleeding stump, screaming in agony as he retreated dozens of meters, disbelief etched on his face as he looked at his severed arm lying in the snow. He then glanced at Xayne, who casually wiped blood from his face, his Ravenclaw Dagger dripping with fresh blood."No! This is impossible!"The elder was terrified. I

"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
Chapter 2686
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
Chapter 2685
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
Chapter 2683
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
