Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2037
"Your Majesty, what exactly is Williamson guilty of? Can you enlighten us?" Xayne stepped forward, his tone heavy with concern.The Emperor frowned and murmured, "I'm not sure, but surely Williamson must have made some mistakes…""Earlier, we wanted to ask why Williamson was taken away by the Imperial guards at the city wall. We held back because it was the King of the North's celebration. Who would have thought those men would dare to harm Williamson." Hammond also stepped forward, recounting the events to the assembled officials.Reactions varied in the crowd. Some scoffed, others were shocked, and a few felt uneasy.The Emperor's frown deepened. He had met Khalid before. The young man was well-mannered and raised with strict discipline. He wouldn't harm a fly, let alone commit murder."May I accompany the investigation?" Xayne asked earnestly."Very well. If you and the other three elders have any objections, you may go observe. Any other officials who wish to join can come as

Xayne gritted his teeth, fists clenched tightly. "What exactly has Williamson done? You must explain, or no matter who you are, you will face the consequences.""Hmph." Hilton scoffed, nonchalantly dismissing Xayne's threat with a flick of his eyes. He waddled over to the Emperor, his demeanor self-assured. "Your Majesty, Willamson has behaved improperly, abusing his position to oppress the innocent."He presented the prepared confession papers, ignoring Xayne. "Look, here are the signed statements from him and his grandson."The Emperor glanced over the documents, his brow frowning. "Is this signed by Khalid and Willamson?"Not just the Emperor but even Willamson's adversaries were incredulous."Your Majesty, it's true. Willamson confessed, and his grandson's testimony is here too." Hilton insisted, pushing the papers closer.The Emperor handed the confessions to Warren and the others, who scanned the contents in disbelief."This can't be real!" Warren's roar broke the tension.

The Emperor saw through Hilton's schemes all too well. His arrogance was merely a mask, waiting for the puppeteers behind him to reveal themselves. However, there was a limit to everything. Williamson was not just any elder. He was a revered figure in the Drakonian Council, where he had served for three generations, having earned the utmost trust of the late Emperor. Anyone could be sacrificed, but not Willaimson. His death would cross the Emperor's line."This case was handled by Marcus Wayne," Hilton said cautiously.Marcus was not only the commander of the Imperial Guards but also the son-in-law of the late Emperor."Marcus Wayne is quite the talent. Where is he now?" The Emperor's smile was deceptive, masking the rage brewing beneath his calm exterior. His hands behind his back were already tightly clenched into fists."Your Majesty, Commander Marcus is currently overseeing an execution. He should be on his way back soon," Hilton replied with a smug grin."What? Executin

"Please, three elders, stop." The Emperor rushed forward, taking several steps to follow, but Warren and the others showed no intention of turning back and soon vanished from the interrogation room."How bold. How insufferable." Hilton’s eyes bulged with rage as he pointed at their retreating figures, shouting, "You dare to threaten the Emperor?! Guards, seize their families and execute them all!"Just as an Imperial guard stepped forward, a glint of steel flashed. The Ravenclaw Dagger severed the guard’s head from his body, sending it rolling across the floor.The remaining Imperial guards recoiled in horror. Fear etched on their faces as they looked at Hilton."Xayne, you have a lot of nerve." Hilton stammered, still trying to grasp the situation. Deep down, he found it hard to believe Xayne would dare to act against him in front of the Emperor."Whoever dares to block the three elders’ departure from Drakonix, I swear by the name of the Master of the Dracarium, will annihilate

Hilton turned to Sefton, a sinister smile creeping onto his face.This young man thought he could impress him with such petty tricks.After all, he was the National Advisor. Ace and his crew were staunch allies of Xayne. They wouldn't suddenly betray him just because he had left."Sefton, your ploys are too immature. Trying to play games in front of me? You're still too young for this," Hilton mused in his mind while maintaining an impassive facade."Ace, have you grown too bold? Do you think Xayne is still the King of the North? Do you think this is the same as when Warren and the others were elders? Back off!" Hilton shouted, summoning several Imperial guards to pull Ace aside.He assessed Sefton from top to bottom as he schemed for another vicious plan.Meanwhile, Xayne had just left the Emperor's Pavillion and hadn't reached the airport when he received a call from an unknown number. After a moment of hesitation, he answered. "Hello, this is Xayne.""Mr. Xayne, it's bad. Som

At that moment, in a remote mountain village far from Folksworth, Flamey savored the moment as he looked at Serena, bound before him. With a glass of red wine in hand, his gaze turned cold as he fixated on her."You filthy woman. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my arm. How dare you act so noble in front of me?" He spat, splashing the wine across her face."Didn't you say you wouldn't hurt Ms. Serena? You're not keeping your word!" Evelyn, also tied up nearby, shouted hoarsely.Flamey chuckled coldly. "Keep my word? What's that worth? Let me tell you, not only will she die, but so will you and your family. I'll make sure each of you suffers unbearably. I'll tear you apart."He rubbed the empty sleeve of his left arm, a vicious expression crossing his face.However, Serena remained silent, her eyes tightly shut. She could hardly believe she had fallen into this trap orchestrated by Evelyn and Flamey.Three days prior, Evelyn had suddenly claimed that her mother was ill
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2043
At that moment, Evelyn realized she had committed a mistake she would regret for life."Ms. Serena. I was forced. Please don't blame me," Evelyn stammered, tears of regret streaming down her face.Serena shot her a cold glance. "I always considered you a sister. How could you do this to me? What have I ever done to you to deserve this?"At this moment, Serena's greatest fear was that Xayne would come here alone.She had sensed that Esmond was unlike any warrior she had encountered before.She remembered how, just as she was about to start the car, he had pointed a finger, and her vehicle had lifted off the ground as if an invisible wall had held her in place. She had felt as if her limbs were bound, unable to move at all.The terror he instilled was something she had never experienced, not even from Xayne.Evelyn didn't just harm herself. She had endangered her family."Ms. Serena, they kidnapped my parents and forced me to do this. I had no other choice!" Evelyn cried out, bre

"That's right," Xayne replied as he pushed open the wooden door and stepped into the courtyard.Before him stood an elderly man in a pristine white robe. His long white eyebrows draped over his shoulders, framing a square face that glowed with vitality. His eyes, bright and clear, resembled stars against the night sky. From his appearance alone, it was evident that the old man possessed significant strength."Have you considered the consequences of injuring my disciple?" Esmond asked coldly."Old man, judging by your attire, you must be a practitioner. What has your disciple done? I severed his arm to give him a chance to amend his ways. Given his actions, killing him would not be unjust," Xayne replied casually, meeting Esmond's gaze without a hint of fear as he walked into the courtyard.Esmond looked at Xayne with a few glimmers in his eyes. Although both were Divine Commanders, he couldn't help but feel alarmed. Xayne looked to be in his mid-twenties but exuded terrifying stren

"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
