Lowes quickly set down his teacup and hurried toward Hyenka's room.At that moment, Hyenka was sitting with his eyes closed, quietly contemplating his next move. With Xayne out of the picture, he was thinking about expanding the Bullard family's influence and finally making them the most powerful of the Big Four."Master… we have a problem!" Lowes burst into the room as he was clearly shaken.Hyenka frowned slightly as he opened his eyes. "Lowes, you're the head of the Bullard family now. Why are you acting so reckless? Compose yourself!"Lowes hesitated before responding. "Uh… Master, Winson is dead!""Oh?" Hyenka's eyes widened in surprise. He quickly sat up. "So Xayne has reached the Bi-Divine Commander level?""No, Master. It wasn't Xayne who killed him. It was someone else. A white-haired old man. We're still trying to confirm his identity. Do you think we should postpone the duel until we figure out who this person is?""No!" Hyenka waved his hand as he cut him off. Xayn
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2108
News media outlets scrambled to reach Folksworth overnight to set up their cameras in the best spots to broadcast the Battle of the Century to the entire country. A frenzy had erupted online, with most people betting on Hyenka as the sure victor. The odds for Xayne winning were as high as twenty to one.Meanwhile, Esmond and the Leng family had placed nearly all their fortunes on Xayne, making this showdown one of the most anticipated events in recent history. Even the Emperor, in Drakonix, was paying close attention."Xayne, you mustn't lose to the Bullard family," the Emperor muttered as he stared at the starry night sky.By the next morning, Folksworth was packed to the brim, with tens of thousands of people crowding the central square. At the Bullard family's VIP platform, two elderly men sat statuesque in their presence. Lowes was nearby, serving tea and speaking in hushed tones. On the opposite side, the seats reserved for the Serena Group were empty, and Xayne and Serena we
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2109
Bullard Family’s Fourth Elder, Iver Bullard, was a Quin-Divine Commander.The overwhelming pressure he exuded instantly enveloped Esmond. Esmond merely frowned slightly, showing no fear as he stepped forward and declared, “I’ve sworn my allegiance to Xayne. The matters of the Xavier family are now the matters of the Heaven Sword Circle. Of course, I’ll interfere!”With those words, he slowly drew his sword, pointing it directly at Hyenka as his voice turned cold. “Does the Bullard family have the courage to accept my challenge?”Hyenka's mind was in turmoil. Esmond’s strength was certainly beyond his. According to rumors, Esmond had already comprehended the Wind Spirit Limit Break, which defied the conventional ranks of ascending. It was a power that could stand above all other levels, a force capable of challenging even the gods themselves.The thought of facing such a challenge made Hyenka’s heart pound in his chest. But for the sake of the Bullard family’s reputation and his own
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2110
According to the arena's rules, as long as Hyenka remained on the stage, Iver could not intervene. Hyenka, sensing the danger, realized he had no choice but to fight. If he turned his back now, Esmond's sword would surely strike him without warning. To expose one's back to a Wind Spirit Limit Break master was no different than signing one's own death warrant."Esmond, my Bullard family has no grudge with you—do you really intend to kill me?!" Hyenka roared with his fists raised as he launched himself into the air, aiming straight for Esmond."Hmph," Esmond snorted, calm as ever. With one hand behind his back, he raised his sword with the other and swung it lightly.A brilliant silver light descended like a curtain, unveiling the heavens and momentarily blinding the spectators below."Run! Get out of here!" Iver, abandoning all pretense of dignity, shot to his feet and screamed toward Hyenka.But it was too late. The moment the silver light fell, Hyenka was already trapped with
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2111
Esmond stood with his sword in one hand and the other hand clasped behind his back, His gaze fixed on Iver.Iver's eyes were blood-red, and his body radiated a murderous aura, like a demonic figure emerging from the depths of hell. Even before making a move, Iver's powerful pressure weighed heavily on Esmond, who, without realizing it, was already sweating from his temples."Esmond, what grudge does my Bullard family have with you? You dare kill my fifth brother!" Iver's voice thundered as he struck out with a palm, aiming for Esmond's chest.Esmond raised his sword, channeling his sword to meet the attack.The clash of sword and palm sent a deafening thunder across the arena. Countless air swords gathered but could not break through Iver's protective energy field."Die!" Iver roared, exerting more force with his hand and shattering the invisible barrier before Esmond with a devastating push.Before Esmond could react, a surge of energy slammed into his chest, sending him flying

"You're not the first to claim to end my life, but those before you are already dead," Xayne said calmly as he extended his Ravenclaw Dagger. His movements were slow, almost like a scene in slow motion, but the air around him rippled with waves of force.Iver was shocked. Xayne had clearly reached the Wind Spirit Limit Break level, and his mastery was no less than Esmond's. For a person in their twenties, achieving this was nothing short of monstrous."Hmph! Wind Spirit Limit Break?" Iver sneered, brandishing his sword as he unleashed a streak of silver light toward Xayne.Everyone in the arena and watching the duel on television held their breath as the two silver streaks collided.A deafening explosion erupted from the center of the platform. The marble ground cracked, creating a crevice several meters deep. Like a hurricane, a fierce blast of energy swept through the square, causing many in the audience to stumble. The once clear sky was now shrouded in dark clouds, rumbling wit
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2113
Xayne could feel the overwhelming difference in strength between himself and Iver. Each time he blocked Iver's sword, it was like his Ravenclaw Dagger was clashing against a mountain. The force reverberating through his body left his arm numb.“Young blood, you’re far too inexperienced to compete with the Bullard family! If Xander were still alive, maybe he’d stand a chance against me! But alas, your Xavier family will never rise again!” Iver mocked, seeing the tremble in Xayne’s hands. He was growing more confident, a twisted grin forming on his face.Years ago, when the Xavier family was destroyed, the Bullard family had been one of the key conspirators. Even though they had successfully eradicated the Xavier family’s influence, they always lived in fear of vengeance. Now, with Xayne about to die by his hands, Iver felt an immense relief, a burden lifted.“Oh? You think you're worthy to face my grandfather? If it weren't for the dirty tricks you all used back then, you’d never hav
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2114
Just as Iver’s sword was about to slash Xayne’s shoulder, Xayne’s body suddenly seemed to teleport several meters away, evading the deadly blow in the blink of an eye.A sword wave swept across the spot where Xayne had just stood, and gasps erupted from the crowd. Even the Emperor, watching the live broadcast, could not help but shout out, “Good!”Iver was utterly shocked. He never expected Xayne to dodge his strike. He hesitated for a split second but quickly recovered as he smirked arrogantly. “Kid, I didn’t expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve! Hmph, but it won’t save you—you can’t escape me!”Without wasting another moment, Iver launched himself toward Xayne like lightning. Now looking like a deadly silver storm, his sword descended upon Xayne again.Xayne, though still reeling from his near-death escape, realized that the force of Iver's previous attack had already cut through his clothing and left a wound on his skin. If it were not for his sudden enlightenment in t

"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
