Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1999
Xayne raised an eyebrow. "N-No... don’t kill me, we—"Before the mercenary could finish his sentence, Xayne's palm came crashing down on the top of his head. He did not even have time to make a sound before collapsing lifelessly on the spot.Nearby, the man in the baseball cap was rolling on the ground in pain.The sudden silence startled him, and he quickly twisted his neck to glance toward the battlefield. His eyes widened in horror as he saw the corpses of his comrades strewn all over the place."Agh—!" Before he could scream, a heavy boot slammed down on his head."Feels good to kill, doesn’t it? Ever wonder what it feels like to be on the other side?"Xayne did not wait for an answer. His foot pressed down harder.The baseball cap’s skull exploded beneath Xayne’s boot with a loud crack, killing him instantly.Xayne casually picked up a nearby gas can, pouring its contents over the bodies.Lighting a cigarette, he flicked the lighter into the pile of corpses. Flames erup

Flamey's expression darkened, and his eyes narrowed as he glared at Serena."Ms. Serena, are you insulting the Eastin family?"'The Eastin family?'The mention of that name triggered a faint memory in Serena's mind.She heard of those names before. She vaguely remembered that they were enemies of Xayne.Her heart raced, realizing the situation was far more dangerous than she initially thought.She had fallen right into their trap."Mr. Flamey, it was nice doing business with you, but I'm afraid I must leave now. Goodbye!"Serena made a move to stand, but Flamey was already a step ahead.He lunged forward, grabbing her shoulder with a vice-like grip."Going somewhere? You're not leaving tonight."Though she had learned how to evade attacks, being pregnant severely limited her abilities. There was no way she could escape Flamey's clutches now.Flamey gripped her shoulder tightly, forcing her back down into her seat."What's the meaning of this, Mr. Flamey?" Bravo's eyes gleamed w

Flamey's strong will to survive pushed him to tap into an unprecedented potential, but it was utterly insignificant in front of the Ravenclaw Dagger.The cold steel of the Ravenclaw Dagger gleamed as it pierced Flamey's left shoulder. Then, in a strange twist, the blade shifted downward.Flamey's eyes widened in horror as he stared at the dagger lodged in his shoulder. Blood splattered across his face.The searing pain shot through his shoulder, and Flamey let out a blood-curdling scream.The next moment, an even sharper agony washed over him, followed by a chilling sensation in his left shoulder. Something soft dropped to the ground.When Flamey looked down, a gush of crimson immediately blurred his vision. Through the blood, he caught a glimpse of a well-dressed arm lying still on the ground."Ahhh!"A fresh wave of excruciating pain ripped through his shoulder.With a scream, Flamey collapsed, rolling around in agony.Xayne covered Serena's eyes with one hand, then reached

After speaking, Xayne carefully put away the Heavenly Tome and wrapped his arms around Serena.Meanwhile, in Drakonix, a general with three stars on his shoulder hurriedly ran into the Emperor's Pavillion."Stop! The Emperor's Pavillion is a restricted area." Two soldiers guarding the entrance stepped forward, blocking his path."It's about the battle report. It's urgent. If you stop me, can you take responsibility for the consequences?" The general shouted as he shoved the two soldiers aside, rushing toward the Emperor's Pavillion."Battle report. This is a matter of life and death."He pushed open the doors of the Emperor's Pavillion, waving the report in his hand as he ran toward the emperor, who was hunched over his desk, reviewing documents.The emperor frowned slightly, looking up at the general. "Do you not know the rules of the Emperor's Pavillion? This behavior is unseemly.""Your Majesty. It’s a report from the Northern Plains army."With a loud thud, the general dr

With a sharp command from Hilton, eight guards rushed into the grand hall, kneeling on one knee. "At your service.""Take him outside and execute him.""Wait." Before Hilton could finish his sentence, the emperor's voice echoed from behind. "Jade’s argument makes sense. Ace and the others are indeed gravely wounded. If this were some kind of ruse, they would be committing suicide. "Xayne built his legacy in the Northern Plains, and Ace and his men are his most loyal generals. Even if they wanted to use a strategy like that, they wouldn’t gamble with Ace’s life."The emperor waved a hand to signal Jade to rise.He then focused on the report lying on the floor, saying, "Right now, the Northern Plains army is surrounded and isolated. The pressing question is, who can lead the forces to their rescue?""Your Majesty, I believe the only solution is to recall the King of the North. Without him, the 200,000 Dragonbreakers Legion are in peril. Dragonbreakers Legion is the backbone of our
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2004
After Hilton delivered the Emperor's verbal decree, he returned to the Emperor's Pavillion to report back.However, at that moment, the Drakonian Council had already received news about the battle in Northern Plains.Tonight, Warren, who was on duty, read the report and felt his soul leave his body in terror. "Wyne Pass has fallen. Drakonia is on the verge of collapse."Warren collapsed into his chair, staring blankly into space. His mind went completely numb.Even though he had managed the Drakonian Council for decades, he had never encountered a crisis like this.Hammond wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.At this point, there was nothing left to think about. They had to reinstate Xayne immediately."Warren, we can’t wait any longer. Reinforcements are needed as soon as possible. All six key towns in Northern Plains have fallen into enemy hands. We must meet with the Emperor at once.""Yes. Quickly, there’s no time to waste. Let’s go meet the Emperor."Warren grabbed the

With that, the Emperor tossed the battle report to the ground and strode out of the hall."Jade, I advise you to stay out of this matter with Xayne. Otherwise, you might find yourself in grave danger." Once the Emperor was out of earshot, Hilton approached Jade, coldly threatening him."You...""Hmph. You’re courting death." Hilton didn’t wait for Jade to finish. He flicked his sleeve and left the hall with quick strides.Meanwhile, in the courtyard behind the Emperor's Pavillion, the Emperor stood at the astrological platform, one hand behind his back, his fist clenched, gazing up at the stars.Tears glimmered in his eyes."May the heavens protect my soldiers in Northern Plains. I do not wish to abandon them, but the time is not right."With that thought, the Emperor clenched his fist tightly, the sound of cracking knuckles echoing in the stillness."KB Kings Circle. The Big Four. Healers Valley. I will remember this debt."After muttering those words, the Emperor finally took

Even many courtiers who despised Xayne to the core, wishing they could flay him alive, were now kneeling on the ground.In unison, they cried, "Your Majesty, please summon the King of the North back to Drakonix to take charge of the battle!"When it came to self-preservation, even the fiercest hatred paled in comparison. The dead had no right to speak of interests.At this moment, Hilton was left speechless, wanting to intervene.However, with the court kneeling, his voice could not be heard above the chorus of a hundred."Please. Your Majesty, summon the King of the North back to Drakonix." Despite his reluctance, Hilton joined the crowd in pleading with the Emperor."Since you all wish for me to summon the King of the North, then I shall heed your wishes."With that, the Emperor raised his red brush and swiftly penned a decree, passing it to Warren.After glancing over the decree, Warren hurried off towards the Drakonian Council.Meanwhile, far away in Folksworth, Xayne had

"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

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
