Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2154
Finishing his explanation, Xayne closed his eyes slightly, sitting back on the sofa while waiting for nightfall. Meanwhile, Xayne's secret return to Folksworth remained unknown to Valedi and the others.On their way back, Valedi had repeatedly tried to convince the others to reconsider, but Hiram and the others dismissed his concerns outright.Esmond's weakened appearance only confirmed what they hoped: either he was carrying an injury or suffering a relapse of an old ailment. It was the perfect time to take him out.Even if Xayne returned, with Esmond dead, he couldn't do anything."Masters. I suggest we visit Esmond tonight." Hiram turned to the heads of Heaven's Feather Circle and Winslow Circle.By then, Valedi had already returned to Cyano Peak, leaving Hiram and the other two circle masters alone at the Shaw family estate. Bram's eyes brightened at the suggestion, and he looked at Hiram with admiration. "Hiram, you are the savior of the Shaw family. If you help us survive thi
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2155
Hiram pushed gently on the door at the estate's entrance.A squeaking sound resounded, and Hiram froze. That sound was the unmistakable groan of an old wooden door. However, the Xavier family's estate had a brand-new iron door, not wood. He frowned, but before he could dwell on it, Debryne and Harry arrived beside him."Hiram, is something wrong?" Debryne asked.Hiram shrugged off his unease, flashing a nonchalant smile. "Nothing, just curious that Xavier's estate doesn't have any guards. But it wouldn't make a difference even if they had hundreds."With that, he strode into the courtyard, followed closely by the other two. As their feet touched the stone tiles of the courtyard, a chilling breeze swept through, sending shivers down their spines."This place is off," muttered Harry. None of them could pinpoint why, but they sensed danger in the air. It was a tension so thick they could practically feel it clawing at them. Inside the estate, Xayne's eyes snapped open. He looked to

The moment Esmond's sword left its sheath, a palpable aura of killing intent filled the air. Hiram and his companions could feel the biting chill even standing several meters away."Damn!" Hiram frowned. Esmond's sword aura became so intense, and there was something odd about that sword."Who's coming first? Or will all three of you come at me together?" Esmond challenged, his voice dripping with disdain.Hiram barely had time to reply before Harry stepped forward eagerly. "Let me handle him first!"Harry had his hidden motives. He knew that between Xayne and Esmond, Xayne was the true threat. If he dealt with the injured Esmond first, it would leave Xayne to face Hiram and Debryne. Depending on how the fight went, he could either finish off Esmond or escape if things went south. An injured Esmond would never be able to keep up with him.Hiram and Debryne exchanged knowing glances but didn't object. They had no choice but to let him take the lead. "Be careful, Harry! If Xayne make

Realizing the grim situation, Hiram glanced back at the oil lamps, frowning. "Could this be some kind of formation?"The idea was hard for him to believe, and even Debryne shook his head in disbelief. Yet, if not for the formation, they couldn't find any other explanation for the eerie suppression of their powers.Esmond sneered at their hesitation. "Weren't you here to take our heads? How do you plan to collect them by standing so far back?"With that, he swung his sword, unleashing a flurry of sword shadows that closed in on them. Feeling the surge of killing intent, Hiram turned to flee, knowing his strength wasn't much better than Harry's. If Harry had died so swiftly, he'd likely share the same fate if he tried to fight.But what they didn't realize was that once inside Xayne's estate, leaving was nearly impossible. As Hiram neared the exit, Xayne sprang forward, moving with the speed and grace of a great eagle, and landed just behind him. He thrust his Ravenclaw Dagger straig
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2158
Despite his lethal skills, Xayne had never sought to kill needlessly, especially within Drakonia's kickboxing community."Cyano Peak? It's best if we can avoid clashing with them. Excessive bloodshed won't benefit anyone." Xayne retracted his Ravenclaw Dagger and shook his head."Gather their bodies, and we will leave for Cyano Peak," Esmond instructed a few disciples, who carefully collected the corpses of Hiram and the others, arranging for their respectful return to their circles. Then, he joined Xayne, heading toward Cyano Peak.At that same moment, Valedi paced back and forth in his study room, his mind unsettled since he returned to the circle earlier that day. His disciples steered clear of him, sensing his dark mood. A disciple soon entered with urgency. "Circle Master, two guests are here asking to meet with you!""Who are they?" Valedi asked with a frown."One of them is Xayne, and the other claims to be the leadmaster of Heaven Sword Circle, Esmond," the disciple report
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2159
After sending Xayne and Esmond off, Valedi immediately dialed Bram. At that moment, Bram was still lost in a blissful dream, envisioning Hiram’s success in eliminating Esmond and securing the Shaw family’s assets."Dad, if Esmond is out of the picture, can’t we turn to the Bullard family for support? With only Xayne left, the Bullard family should be more than enough to deal with him, right?" Amos said with a smug grin on his face.Because of his impulsiveness, he joined forces with the Bullard family and dragged the Shaw family into the abyss. But now it seemed that the Shaw family had created an excellent opportunity to reach the top because of his impulsiveness.Bram shook his head and sighed. "Amos, Silas, remember this always. Don’t dream of riding on someone else’s coattails. Surviving this crisis requires us to rely solely on ourselves."Before he could finish, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Valedi, Bram hesitated, then finally picked up."Bram, I can no longer
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2160
Silas shouted, his voice echoing through the room. Xayne walked forward, hands behind his back, and seated himself on the sofa across from Bram without waiting for an invitation. His steady, penetrating gaze locked onto Bram, who soon began to sweat under the intense scrutiny."Mr. Xayne. I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. But I couldn't control people like Hiram and the others," Bram said. As he spoke, he collapsed to his knees in front of Xayne. Seeing their father kneeling, Silas and his brother bowed their heads in defeat."You not being able to control them is why you're still alive. Here’s the deal: turn over every bit of your assets and leave Folksworth, or face death," Xayne said coldly.Finishing his ultimatum, Xayne rose, flicked his sleeve, and headed for the door. Esmond glared at the Shaw family, adding, "This is your last chance. If we don't see a show of sincerity from the Shaw family by tomorrow morning, tonight will be your last on this earth." With that, Esmond followe

Most people who work in the pharmaceutical field have heard of Ryan Pharmaceutical. In Newcroa, all pharmaceutical supplies came from Ryan Pharmaceuticals. Securing a supply agreement with them was like holding a golden key to a fortune."You're referring to this blood pressure medication?" Serena said, handing a small bottle to Smith Rod.Smith examined the bottle, removed the cap, and took a small whiff. "Yes, that's the one," he confirmed, nodding. Serena Group's blood pressure medicine had a unique light herbal scent, setting it apart from other products."We're interested in placing a substantial order. But the question is, can Serena Group handle such a large supply?" Smith inquired, his brows knitted slightly.Serena smiled, "Mr. Smith, how much are you looking to order?"Smith replied, "Based on current prices, the total value would be about 200 million dollars, with a delivery timeline within four months."He explained, "I think Ms. Serena can understand what our company

"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
