Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1842
Faye trembled as she caught sight of Xayne's icy glare. She suddenly realized she might have pushed things too far.Alone in this suite with him, she wondered if provoking him could lead to her undoing."I'm just curious," she said, trying to steady her voice and squaring her shoulders. "Why would a man like you stay by Serena's side?"Xayne's eyes locked onto hers, searching for any hint of her true intentions."This is the first and last time," he said coldly. "Let’s get serious. You’re not just a businesswoman. What’s your real reason for cozying up to Serena?""Naturally, it's the pharmaceutical market in Folksworth," Faye replied, her smile fading."The Lockwood family’s overseas market isn’t enough? Why come to Folksworth?" Xayne’s eyes narrowed."Honestly, I find it boring too, but my grandfather sent me here to check things out, so here I am," she said calmly."Your grandfather?" Xayne muttered, recalling what Serena had mentioned earlier about the Lockwood family’s pos

He was friendly with everyone, especially the young women who flocked around him. However, if they tried to take things further, he always politely declined.At that moment, a woman in a black, skin-tight workout outfit was stretching on a yoga ball nearby. She had neatly cropped shoulder-length hair, a sharp, slender face, and striking features. Her eyes, though calm, held a certain intensity as if a hidden spark was waiting to ignite.The most curious thing about her, however, was the knife strapped to her waist.Next to her stood a man in a black tank top. His body rippled with lean muscles. He stood there like a towering pine tree, arms crossed with a cold expression and unapproachable. The air around him felt sharp, like the edge of a drawn blade.His face seemed to scream, "Stay away.""Ivo, the old man sent Faye to Folksworth?" The man with chiseled features and a piercing gaze finished his pull-ups. He then jumped down and grabbed a towel to wipe his hands, a smile playi

After leaving Faye, Xayne headed straight to Serena Pharmaceutical Group's office.He walked into Serena's office and found her on the phone. She looked troubled."What's wrong, babe? What happened?" Xayne asked.Serena hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and said, "Honey, my mom just called. She said my uncle is having some trouble with his business and is hoping we can help.""Your uncle? Vernon?" Xayne frowned.He had heard about Vernon before when they were still in Venzor. The guy was greedy —nothing else mattered."Yeah, my mom said my uncle's company is running into some issues in Baxford. They're in the pharmaceutical business, too, and he's asking for our help," Serena said, hesitation written all over her face.It was not that she didn't want to help, but she could not forget how Vernon had treated them in the past. Back when Serena was raising Coco on her own, Vernon and his family had looked down on her. They had humiliated her more times than she could count.

"Where there's competition, there's conflict. That's normal," Xayne said calmly."Normal competition doesn't scare me, but these bastards aren't playing by the rules," Vernon replied as his anger rose. "Three months ago, they came to me with an offer, asking me to join their business team.""You refused," Xayne guessed."Of course I refused! Even an idiot could see they wanted to use my reputation to boost their own profits. They might even have plans to take over my company," Vernon snarled, his face flushed with anger."After I turned them down, they started harassing me. They demanded protection money, sent fake buyers to trash my products, and even hired thugs to wreck my business," Vernon continued while clenching his fists. "I put up with it because, well, when you're away from home, sometimes you have to eat dirt. But a month ago, when they saw I wouldn't give in, they started targeting my daughter. She's still in college, and they hired people to harass her on campus, eve

A sudden bang sound rang."Agh!" The middle-aged woman clutched her bleeding head as she collapsed to the ground. Her body trembled uncontrollably."Hmph, know your place. I told you not to mess with Boss Fang and his crew. Now you see the result? Not only are your company’s employees beaten and lying on the ground, but now you and your daughter are going to get what's coming. Where’s your husband? Is he hiding like a coward?" Maison sneered."Mom, are you okay?" Angel cried. She rushed to her mother’s side and tried to stop the bleeding with some tissues."Heh, this little girl isn’t bad-looking at all. How about this? You spend a night with me, and I’ll let these last few machines off the hook," Maison leered with his eyes lingering on Angel, a desire he had harbored for some time."Get lost! I’ve already called the police. You’re all going to jail!" Angel shouted with an angry tone."No problem. But before that happens, why don’t I have a little fun first?" Maison’s words seem
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1847
Although Xayne had already taken care of the thugs outside, Maison’s group was supposed to be the elite, and he figured there was no way they could lose to Xayne. As he regained his confidence, he shouted, "All of you, get him! Defeat this guy first, then tie up Vernon. I want him to watch as we pin down his wife and daughter!"At Maison’s command, the thugs immediately released Angel and her mother. They then grabbed iron rods from the floor as they charged at Xayne.Xayne did not hesitate. With a single punch, he sent the first thug flying. With a swift kick, he launched another assailant into the air. The two men landed several feet away, crashing to the ground as they coughed up blood.The sight of their fallen comrades stunned Maison and the others. They had not expected Xayne to be so terrifying. He was able to kill them with just casual blows."You can all come at me together," Xayne said as his eyes scanned the remaining men. None dared to step forward, fearing they would e

Maison was trembling and did not dare disobey Xayne's command. He immediately picked up his phone, found Corvus’s number from Flying Crows Corporation, and dialed it."Hello? Boss Corvus, I’ve got Vernon and his family tied up. We’ve trashed their stuff, and they said they’d leave by tomorrow. Do you want to come over and see them one last time?" Maison said as he tried to keep his voice steady."Excellent! You’ve done a great job. The rest of your payment will be in your account soon!" Corvus’s voice on the other end was filled with glee. The success of this scheme had lifted his spirits after days of frustration caused by Vernon’s rising company. He decided to see the defeated family himself, bringing a few bodyguards along as he drove straight to Vernon’s factory.When Corvus arrived, he found Vernon seemingly bound up and Maison limping toward him, accompanied by his injured henchmen."What happened to you?" Corvus asked, puzzled."Nothing... just had a little scuffle with som
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1849
Just then, Xayne stepped out. Maison and the others quickly stood aside, respectfully making way for him. Angel followed closely behind, her eyes fixed on Xayne's back, her heart filled with an overwhelming sense of happiness.Corvus looked at Xayne with a puzzled expression. "Who are you?"Xayne replied coldly, "Who I am doesn't matter. What you need to remember is that I'm here today to give you a warning."He walked up to Corvus and grabbed him by the throat, lifting him off the ground with one hand. Corvus's strength was nowhere near enough to break free from Xayne's iron grip, and he dangled helplessly in the air as he gasped for breath."This is just a warning. If you dare to mess with them again, I'll crush you like an ant." Xayne spoke these words slowly, tightening his grip just enough to drive the point home. Corvus's eyes rolled back, and his tongue lolled out as he felt the cold grip of death closing in.At that moment, Corvus truly understood what it meant to face 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
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

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
