The excruciating pain in his arm made Owen's limb numb. Had he not acted swiftly, his arm might have been irreparably damaged.Maple had been confident that Xayne would be easily subdued with Owen's intervention. However, the reality was far more shocking. Xayne not only emerged unscathed but also sent Owen, his greatest asset, flying with a single punch."I already said, no one can stop me from killing the people I want to kill," Xayne reiterated coldly, causing Maple to tremble in fear, his legs shaking uncontrollably."You can't kill him!" Owen, nursing his numb arm, shouted desperately."Do you think I'm joking, or did you not hear what I said?" Xayne raised his foot, preparing to crush Maple's chest."He is the young master of the Eastin family's main branch, the future heir. If you kill him, the Eastin Ace branch will become your enemy. You will have no place to hide," Owen pleaded urgently."No place to hide? That's a new one. Are you threatening me?" Xayne turned his gaze

Mere human standards couldn't evaluate such a man.At this moment, Maple, lying on the ground with a shattered arm, cried out in agony. He struggled to look at Owen and shouted angrily, "Owen, the Eastin family has took care of you for decades! Even if you were just a dog, you should still go bite him."Hearing Maple's words, Owen frowned. He replied coldly, "Maple, if you don't want to die, shut up."Since becoming a kickboxing grandmaster, Owen rarely got this furious. Today, he couldn't hold back anymore. The stupid young master from the Eastin family was the trigger for him.Owen had always known that the Eastin family's Ace branch saw him as nothing more than a dog to be used. He had willingly played that role for the family, but hearing it said by someone else was another matter.He was in his forties or fifties. He was at least an uncle to Maple. This young master had no respect for him.Owen was genuinely enraged.Yet, this foolish young master still didn't see the situa

Upon hearing this, Maple looked at Xayne, who was standing by with a cold smile and seemed to understand the situation.When his gaze shifted to Faye standing aside, a flicker of resentment flashed in his eyes.If it weren't for this vile woman's repeated rejections, he wouldn't have traveled such a long distance to this city and gotten beaten up so badly to the point of having one broken arm. Soon, he might lose both arms.It was all because of this damned woman.Maple failed to recognize his faults, instead placing all the blame on Faye."Sorry, Young Master." In front of Maple, Owen stomped heavily on his joint.With multiple fractures in his arms, Owen no longer had the strength to act delicately, so he had to use this crude method to break Maple's arm.This brutal method was quite different from breaking the arm with hands. The latter might heal with a few months of bed rest, with minimal damage to the bone. However, the trample method caused the bone to shatter, making s

Soon, the military vehicle arrived at Dragon Jade's Place.By now, the area within five miles of Dragon Jade's Place was under complete lockdown, patrolled by fully armed special forces soldiers.Within a kilometer of Dragon Jade's Place, top experts from Emperor's Pavillion were stationed, maintaining vigilance.As Xayne got out of the military vehicle, he felt the presence of more than ten powerful individuals, all at the commander level, watching him closely.There were even four Divine Commanders auras that locked onto Xayne for a few seconds before disappearing.Xayne glanced at the nearby guards and followed the officer ahead to the Dragon Jade's Place pavilion.The Emperor, wrapped in a trench coat, looked pale and weak inside the pavilion. He even coughed a few times, appearing in poor health.Autumn had arrived, and the weather had turned cooler.Xayne entered the pavilion where the Emperor stood with his back to him, gazing at the distant scenery."Here you are," the
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1865
"Your Majesty."Xayne was visibly moved, his gaze fixed intently on the Emperor.The Emperor coughed a few times, then pulled out a golden dragon medallion from his waist. The medallion, made entirely of gold, was engraved with a five-clawed dragon.He looked at the medallion and asked, "Do you know what this golden dragon medallion is?"Xayne looked at the medallion and shook his head. "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."The Emperor smiled slightly. "This medallion is the emblem of the Grand Marshal of Drakonia. It once belonged to your grandfather. After the incident involving your grandfather, the position of Grand Marshal was abolished."But today, I am reinstating the position of Grand Marshal, to oversee the six new military theaters outside of the Drakonix military theater. Xayne. I am handing this golden dragon medallion to you today. From now on, you will be the new Grand Marshal of Drakonia."At those words, Xayne’s body shook. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, this is

Xayne nodded. "Understood."The Emperor continued, "By the way, how are you handling the Northern Plains Military Theater?"Xayne thought for a moment before replying, "I'm planning to hand it over to Elias.""Elias?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow with a hint of concern in his voice. "That's too soon. Assign him as a deputy commander first. He's promising, but he needs guidance.""Alright," Xayne agreed.With that, he left Dragon Jade's Place.After Xayne departed, the Emperor remained on the terrace as he gazed out at the distant scenery. Behind him, Drake approached and said, "Emperor, the wind is picking up. You should go inside and rest to avoid catching a chill."The Emperor coughed twice, nodded, and turned to walk past Drake. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and glanced back at Drake. He asked, "Drake, do you think the KB Kings Circle will hear about what happened today?"With that single question, the sky suddenly darkened.A lightning bolt tore through the sky, spli

Hammond spoke with a deep concern, his eyes filled with speculation. "Xayne, we're worried that something monumental is about to happen within the Drakonia's power structure. You need to be prepared in advance! The personnel movements across all the major war zones have escalated beyond our control!"Xayne's expression darkened as he absorbed the news. The dense movement of troops across the war zones was not a good sign. It was akin to changing the guard—a prelude to something significant."I understand! Hammond, don't worry about the Northern Plains. If Drakonix faces any danger, I will lead the army to reinforce it!" Xayne declared.Hammond sighed. "It's not that we doubt your resolve. We're concerned that you may lose the authority to command the Northern Plains altogether! The Emperor has not left the Emperor's Pavilion for three days now! All matters have been handed over to the newly formed Cabinet, established just three days ago!""The Cabinet?" Xayne frowned as he was fil

"Mr. Warren, don't worry. I know what needs to be done." Xayne said, then ended the call.His expression turned gravely serious as he stood alone in the mansion.The Emperor was gravely ill, and the Royal Guard mobilized over 100,000 troops in Drakonix.Military districts across the country were making suspicious moves.Something big was definitely brewing behind the scenes.'The KB Kings Circle. They are finally showing their true colors.'Xayne thought for a moment, then quickly dialed the Northern Plains Military Theater. He ordered, "Ace, notify all troops—full battle readiness! Weapons on hand at all times! All personnel must be geared up and ready to move out at a moment's notice!""Supreme commander, what's happening?"In the Northern Plains Military's command room, Ace's face was filled with concern as he asked."The Emperor's health is failing, and Drake has taken control of the Drakonian council. Troop movements in various districts are frequent. I'm worried somethin

"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
