Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2116
Iver charged forward at Xayne as he raised his sword with deadly intent. Xayne, overwhelmed by the turmoil in his blood from ascending to the next level, could not summon even an ounce of strength.“Ah!” With a furious roar, Xayne thrust his spear toward Iver.As Xayne swung his Crimson Dragon Lance, a surge of energy suddenly exploded from within him. His aura rose sharply, propelling him straight into the Quad-Divine Commander.“What?!” Iver hesitated for a split second upon hearing the unnatural tearing sound.But it was already too late.A red flash blurred before his eyes as the Crimson Dragon Lance was already upon him.By the time he tried to defend with his energy barrier, he could not keep up. The spear pierced right through Iver’s chest.Xayne’s figure appeared behind him in a heartbeat.“Cough... cough...” Iver staggered as he spat out blood. His hands trembled as he looked down at the hole in his chest. Weak and shaky, he turned his head slowly, eyes filled with dis

As Xayne coughed up a mouthful of blood, he slipped out of consciousness.Truthfully, he had barely managed to keep himself steady as he walked off the stage just moments before. Xayne could not afford to collapse, much less bleed in front of the crowd.If he did, the Big Four would seize the chance to attack, wiping out not only him but also Serena Group from the entire city.Upon seeing Xayne fall unconscious from his injuries, Jean went pale with fear, momentarily losing all composure."Mr. Xayne... Mr. Xayne! Wake up, please! Mr. Xayne!" Jean desperately shook him, but Xayne did not give the slightest response."My Lor—" Before Esmond could speak, Serena raised her hand, stopping him."Don't panic! Act like nothing happened. Everyone, into the car. Now!"Though her face was pale, Serena knew many eyes were watching their every move.If they caused a scene, it would blow their cover.Finally understanding why Xayne had fought so hard to hold it together earlier, Esmond and

The crowd was mourning their fate.With the Bullard family's defeat today, their own futures were clear as day. They were ruined.Their anger was directed at Hyenka. This "legend" of empty prowess, who did not even last a single hit before dying at the hands of one of Xayne's subordinates.They had trusted the Bullard family, gambling their lives and fortunes on them, and for it was for nothing. Now, their families were tearing down, and the Bullard family's next move would decide their next move.If they had to go down, they had to make sure the Bullard family went down with them."We... we're returning to Drakonix!" Iver spoke in a heavy tone, then took a deep breath.He turned toward the local leaders, still glaring at the Bullard family, and added calmly, "Do you think my family will fall so easily to Xayne? Don't worry. When I return to Drakonix and consult our three remaining elders, they'll see to it that Xayne is buried six feet under."With that, he strode off the platf

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's expression flickered.'Landholdings exceeding a thousand acres for Hammond and Warren? True, but that was thirty years ago. From the day they joined the Emperor's Pavilion, both men had handed their ancestral estates over to the state as proof of their integrity.'"Your Majesty... are you all right?" Hilton asked cautiously, noticing a hint of emotion in the Emperor's eyes.The Emperor clenched his teeth. "Outrageous! Assign men to investigate, then report directly to me." "Yes, Your Majesty!" Hilton had barely taken a few steps when he turned back. "And about Xayne...""Investigate him as well, but keep it quiet—undercover only." The Emperor waved his hand dismissively, motioning for Hilton to leave.Once Hilton was gone, the elderly palace attendant at the Emperor's side frowned. "Your Majesty, this man has grand ambitions. Are you really going to tolerate him...?""Tolerate?" A cold glint flashed in the Emperor's gaze. "Fishing requires good

By age, Esmond was older than Serena's grandfather by more than a decade. "At this critical moment, you must show strength," he advised firmly. "Our leader may be injured, but with the power of the Heaven Sword Circle supporting you, those who dare to resist will pay the ultimate price. Set an example, and Folksworth's troubles will cease!"Nearby, Harbin broke out in a cold sweat. Thankfully, his third uncle had insisted on avoiding alliances that could jeopardize their family. Without his uncle's caution, the Leng family would now be in ruin."Isn't...isn't this too much?" Serena frowned. Though her perspective had hardened with time, the idea of wiping out whole families unsettled her. The cost of human lives was staggering."Madam, we cannot afford mercy. If Mr. Xayne had lost to Iver today, we would all..." Esmond trailed off, letting the implication hang.Jean nodded, "Master Esmond is right. If Mr. Xayne had fallen, the Leng family would have been destroyed without mercy!"

"What?"Xayne could hardly believe what he heard, and his face turned pale with shock. Both Warren and Hammond had retired and settled into quiet lives back in their hometowns.He wondered if it was because Hilton wouldn't leave them alone, trying to drive them to their deaths. Xayne quickly asked, "When did this happen?""Just last night, Hilton's subordinates arrived at the homes of the two elders. This morning, we received reports that their sons had been taken, but we don't know much beyond that."So, do you want us to send some protection for them?"Xayne stood there, thinking, his chest heaving as he shook his head slowly and said, "No, I'll go in person."It wasn't that Dracarium couldn't protect Warren and Hammond. Dracarium had no real jurisdiction in this matter, and sending them could give Hilton the ammunition he needed to accuse Dracarium of disobedience before the authorities."Drakon King, should I send someone ahead?" Dragos asked anxiously."No need. I'll lea

The man lying there was covered in blood, his body long since lifeless.It was clear from a single glance he had endured brutal torture before he died."Xayne! What sin have I committed to deserve this?" Seeing Xayne and Dragos arrive, Warren couldn't hold back his tears, his grief spilling out in heavy sobs even though he was strong-willed.He had watched helplessly as a group of officials from Drakonix beat his son to death right before his eyes.Meanwhile, Hammond's son, Herme Chopin, had his legs shattered and bled to death from his injuries.The two families' tragedies were eerily similar."Who did this? Which heartless bastard could be this cruel?" Dragos shouted in a rage. He felt an overwhelming urge to hunt down those responsible and tear them to pieces."Let it go. Maybe this is the punishment for all the lives I took in my youth," Warren muttered bitterly. "Since you're both here, please, come inside and sit for a moment."Hammond wiped his eyes and dragged Xayne and

The middle-aged man's face twisted into a cruel grin as he gripped the little boy's hair tightly.The boy's eyes brimmed with tears, but he clenched his jaw, refusing to cry out."Rory! That girl you dishonored back then was a citizen of Drakonia! She was only sixteen, and you kept her locked in your quarters, brutalizing her until she died!"Don't you understand? As an officer of our nation, your actions defied all decency and honor. How could I have left you in your post and still claimed to serve justice?" Warren roared, pointing an accusatory finger at the man.Rory laughed smugly, shoving the boy into the hands of an enforcer nearby. With his hands clasped behind his back, he pointed to his polished jacket and sneered, "You're just jealous, Warren. You don't like me! But it doesn't matter. Hilton sees my worth. Look at me now. I have everything I could want. Look at you. You're miserable!""You're all cut from the same rotten cloth! There will come a day when you all get what

"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
