Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1921
Hilton stood silently at the side, watching the intense chess match between Xayne and the new Emperor. Xayne placed his pieces casually, yet each move seemed to form a meticulous strategy. The new Emperor, on the other hand, played aggressively, relentlessly pressing Xayne. The chessboard had turned into a fierce battleground, with both sides constantly adjusting their strategies, resulting in a brutal and unyielding conflict.Hilton, observing from the side, broke into a cold sweat. The depth of this chess game was unfathomable. The battle unfolding on the chessboard mirrored a vicious, bloody fight.Meanwhile, outside the Emperor's Pavillion, a formidable force of ten thousand heavily armed soldiers had quietly surrounded the building. They were equipped with the most advanced weapons, and the area within a five-mile radius had been sealed off completely.At the same time, battalions of black-armored soldiers, armed with guns and blades, infiltrated the pavilion, locking down

The new Emperor stood with his hands clasped behind his back, staring at Xayne. "I need you to step down as the Grand Marshal. I need you to relinquish your title as the King of the North."One sentence made his intentions clear. This was about stripping Xayne of his power.Xayne frowned slightly, his gaze cooling as he looked at the Emperor. At the same time, he remained acutely aware of the tension outside.Just beyond the closed windows of the Emperor's Pavillion, armed soldiers in black tactical gear had already cocked their weapons. The general in charge, leading them, was starting to clench his fist, waiting for the order to rush in. Even inside, you could see shadows moving across the windows.Suddenly, Xayne chuckled, glancing at the now cold cup of tea on the table. Without hesitation, he lifted it and drank it in one gulp.Then, standing up, Xayne said, "If the new Emperor wants my position, I won’t stand in the way. The tea’s gone cold anyway."With that, he turned to

Hammond immediately erupted in anger, his face flushed with rage. "This is unacceptable. What is the new Emperor thinking? Doesn't he realize that the Northern Plains is a crucial region for Drakonia? No one else can command the same respect and deterrence at the border as you do. If he removes you, the neighboring countries will covet the Northern Plains. I'm going in to demand an explanation from the new Emperor right now."Hammond had a notoriously fiery temper.Xayne quickly intervened. "Hammond, there's no need for that. The matter is settled. No need to say more.""But..." Hammond's face was still filled with anger.Warren sighed, glancing towards the Emperor's Pavillion. "Let it go, Hammond. When a new leader comes into power, it's inevitable that they'll make changes, especially to consolidate their control. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next."Meanwhile, the general of the combat division also frowned slightly and nodded. "Warren is right. At this juncture,

Serena blushed and nodded. "Yes."Xayne was overjoyed. He scooped Serena up into his arms and, with immense excitement, twirled around the living room, shouting, "I'm going to be a dad again!"Serena held aloft, laughed happily, and caressed Xayne's face.After a while, Serena playfully said, "Alright, I'm getting dizzy."Only then did Xayne set her down, still brimming with excitement, as he gently touched her belly. "I'm going to be a dad."Serena rolled her eyes at him and said, "Oh, stop it. It's still too early to feel anything."Xayne scratched his head in embarrassment and, with a tone of regret, said, "When you were pregnant with Coco, I wasn't there with you. Now, I want to be by your side every day, never leaving."Serena chuckled. "You're being so mushy. It's been a long time."Xayne laughed heartily, "I'm the master of my fate.I will take up the role of my wife's bodyguard."Serena, feeling utterly cherished, leaned against Xayne and gazed dreamily at the future. "

"The KB Kings Circle, the new emperor, Wyncock, as well as various factions and foreign powers, none of them are small players. You've become a piece on this era's chessboard. The only way to escape is to become the one who controls the game."With that, Xander looked at Xayne.Xayne frowned, understanding what Xander meant.However, right now, he just wanted to relax."Grandpa, I don't understand. Even though I've stepped down, why do they still keep their eyes on me?" Xayne asked.Xander smiled and gently patted Xayne's shoulder. "Grandson, whether you step down or not, your influence remains, your abilities remain, and your followers remain. As long as you're alive, you'll always be a barrier to them."Xayne, the road ahead is still long. You need to take it slowly. While the new emperor might not move against you for now, the factions within Wyncock, foreign powers, and the KB Kings Circle will certainly not let you live in peace."Xayne frowned.Xander stood up, hands clas

Xayne let out a cold laugh.Maple, who had been about to say something more, instantly shut up. Upon remembering the events of that fateful night, it sent a chill down Maple's spine. If it had not been for Haqin personally treating his injuries, he would still be a cripple."So, it's Mr. Maple. Your recovery seems pretty quick," Xayne said with a faint smile.The comment hit a sore spot. Maple's face turned red as his eyes flared with anger. He then glared at Xayne. "What did you just say?! Don't think for a second that I'm afraid of you! I could—"Before he could finish, Xayne's icy gaze stopped him dead in his tracks as if his words were swallowed by fear.Xayne then turned to Serena, who was confused upon watching the scene with confusion. "Is he the client you were talking about?"Serena nodded. "Yeah, why?"Xayne frowned slightly as he shook his head. He then said, "Nothing."Upon sensing something was off, Serena asked quietly, "Honey, do you know him? Did you... hit hi

Maple flew backward as he crashed into several chairs before slamming to the ground. He clutched his chest, and his face flushed bright red. With a loud gasp, he spat out a mouthful of blood.At the same time, Serena took a step forward as she looked down at Maple, who was writhing on the floor while clutching his chest. Her voice was cold as she said, "Mr. Maple, this is the Serena Group. You don't get to act out here! Security!"As soon as she spoke, a few security guards from the entrance rushed in."Ms. Serena."Serena's voice remained cold. "Throw them all out.""Yes, ma'am!" Without hesitation, the guards moved in. They hauled Maple and his assistants out of the company.Maple and his crew were thrown outside with heavy thuds. His assistants scrambled to their feet, helping him up as he groaned in pain. His face twisted in rage as he trembly pointed at Serena and Xayne, who were standing at the door. His voice was filled with venom as he shouted, "You… you two! Just wait!

Matthew watched Alaric's figure disappear into the distance as a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.Alaric was one of the top ten enforcers of the Eastin family. His strength had long surpassed the realm of ordinary masters—he was at the level of a king. With Alaric taking action, Matthew had no doubt that bringing down the small Swift Corporation would be a mere formality.Just as Alaric left, a servant quickly walked in and bowed respectfully. "Master, someone from the Emperor's Pavilion is here.""The Emperor's Pavilion?" Matthew's face lit up with excitement. "Quick, bring them in!"He straightened his clothes in preparation.At the entrance, a general in full military uniform marched in, accompanied by six soldiers, each armed and standing tall.Matthew hurried forward as he extended his hand warmly. "General, my apologies for not greeting you sooner. Please, take a seat! Someone, serve tea!"The general waved him off. "No need for formalities, Master Matthew. I'm here under

"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
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
