Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2226
Xayne delivered a resounding slap across Lenny's face. The force sent Lenny sprawling out of the room, rolling onto the courtyard's stone floor. His cheekbone caved in from the impact.Lenny howled in pain, his cries as pitiful as someone mourning a parent's death."Get back in here!" Xayne barked with a sharp voice and commanding, shedding all pretense of civility.Only now did Esmond grasp the situation fully. His eyes flicked to the three pills in Xayne's hand as the meaning suddenly became clear.Lenny, clutching his disfigured face, scrambled back inside. Fear painted every line of his expression as he faced Xayne once more."Speak. What kind of poison is this? Do you have the antidote?" Xayne's tone was low and deadly.Lenny shivered. "Th-this is the Hundred-Day Gutbreaker Pill. After ingestion, no one—no matter their strength—can survive more than a hundred days. The poison causes the intestines to rot from the inside."He stole a glance at Xayne, but the chilling glare t

Madoc shot Lenny a sharp glance, frowning. "What's your plan?""Do you know the Christy family of Heavenly Peak who guards the cemetery of the First Dragon?!"'The Christy family? The legendary tomb keepers?'Their kickboxing prowess barely made a ripple in the Kickboxing Association as they had never produced a single top-tier fighter in centuries. In other words, they carried dead weight.The Christy family commanded respect anywhere they went, whether among kickboxing clans or in the halls of power. Guarding the ancestral tomb was more than a duty; it was a sacred mission to protect the nation's lifeblood.It was said that Drakonia's unbroken strength over five millennia owed much to their vigilance. Their contribution was unmatched."You're saying you have connections with the Christy family?" Madoc's brows lifted in surprise.As an elder of the Kickboxing Association, he had never seen any of their members."Of course. He's just a distant descendent, though. He's about twe

Lenny chuckled darkly. "Heh, heh. Don't rush, Delwyn. I've got a fantastic opportunity for you this time."'A fantastic opportunity?' Delwyn frowned. He knew Lenny's reputation all too well. No "good" things could ever possibly come from him— a circle leader of a small-time operation with no money and even less clout. No one could ever compare to the Christy family's prestige."Oh? Well, I'm all ears. But let's be clear—if I'm not satisfied, you're covering my next supply." Delwyn grinned sinisterly."Of course!" Lenny thumped his chest. "Delwyn , ever heard of Xayne?"'Xayne?' Delwyn sneered. "You mean the King of the North? Isn't he just a commoner now? What's so special about him?"Lenny smirked. "In Xylera, he's quite the big shot. A lot of business tycoons bow to him these days."Delwyn scoffed. "Xylera? What's that got to do with me?""Delwyn, hear me out. Didn't you mention you were short on cash recently? Remember my…special talent?" Lenny's tone dripped with flattery.

Just then, a Heaven Sword Circle disciple rushed into Xayne's villa, panting. "Mr. Xayne, there's an old man outside claiming to be from the capital. He demands you personally greet him. Said if you're late, he'll… he'll…""He'll what?" Xayne frowned.'What's going on today? Why does everyone think they can order me around? He wants me to personally greet him?'"If you're late, he'll punish you!"'Punish me?' Xayne laughed coldly and said to the disciple, "Let him wait."The disciple nodded and ran back outside.Meanwhile, Bernie stood at the villa's gate, clutching an imperial decree. With his hands behind his back, he loomed arrogantly alongside two middle-aged men.Upon hearing that Xayne had told him to wait, Bernie scoffed. Turning to the men, he sneered, "What did I say? Who does Xayne think he is? I've come with an imperial decree, and I didn't even make him kneel. That's already a grace!"The two men quickly chimed in."Exactly, Bernie. Xayne's nothing more than a figu
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2230
"Xayne! Get out here, now! Bernie is here on official business—"Before the middle-aged man could finish, the sound of steady footsteps echoed from inside the villa. The two Heaven Sword Circle disciples at the gate quickly stepped aside as Xayne appeared. His expression was ice-cold, his gaze sweeping over the trio with disdain.Without a preamble, he said, "Leave the decree here and get out."Bernie and the two men froze in shock. 'What did he just say?'"Xayne, I'm here on behalf of the Emperor—""Hand it over." Xayne extended his hand while talking."Xayne! I am the Emperor's envoy!"Bernie barely got the words out before Xayne struck him across the face with a resounding slap. The force of the blow sent Bernie staggering.Xayne's voice was low and threatening. "Where is the decree? Give it to me."Bernie clutched his reddened cheek, his eyes blazing with fury and humiliation.Xayne had no real power anymore, yet he continued to act so high and mighty.However, Xayne's s

Xayne spoke softly, "Word is, he's been kidnapped by a small nation outside of the country, but it shouldn't be a big deal.""People say the Rory family holds immense sway in the Drakonia business world, don't they?"Serena had recently been working with several national corporations and quite a few multinationals, too. So, she often heard business partners mention Spencer's name.It was clear that his influence extended far beyond Drakonian borders."Of course. The man controls nearly half of the country's oil supply. His influence is massive. Otherwise, no one would bother holding him hostage to pressure the Drakonia." Xayne had a hunch that this was not the work of some minor foreign nation. There had to be a hidden hand behind the scenes.Otherwise, there was no reason why Eukrania would leak rumors about the Ashlan Lanchester family having significant influence. To put it plainly, those small Eukraniaan nations, even some under Newcroa's thumb, were retaliating after gettin

Outside, the crowd had already swelled to an overwhelming size. Somehow, news had spread, and now members of the Kickboxing Association and several influential business moguls from the Folksworth had gathered to witness the scene.Leading the group, Charlie stood with his arms crossed, a smug expression plastered across his face. He bellowed toward the villa, his voice sharp and commanding, "Xayne! Get out here and face your death!"The Kickboxing Association elites who had previously suffered under Xayne's dominance, along with a few business titans, could not help but feel a twisted sense of satisfaction.It was not long before Xayne emerged from the villa, followed by Esmond and a dozen Heaven Sword Circle's disciples.Charlie smirked coldly as he laid eyes on Xayne. "So, you're Xayne?""That's right." Xayne's expression was calm, his aura serene, without a hint of tension or energy radiating.Charlie sneered. "You've got two choices: pledge allegiance to the Ashlan Lanchester

Before Charlie Lionheart could make a move, Xayne struck first. His Ravenclaw Dagger shot forward, its gleaming tip aimed directly at Charlie's face."Hmph! Parlor tricks," Charlie scoffed as he lowered the visor of his Lion Armor, revealing only his dark, menacing eyes.The dagger clashed against the metallic visor, sparks flying on impact. But to Xayne's dismay, the blade failed to penetrate the armor and was deflected harmlessly.Upon seeing Xayne's famed weapon rendered useless, Esmond clenched his fists as his concern was evident.Meanwhile, inside the villa, Serena heard the commotion and instinctively moved toward the door, only to be stopped by a few Heaven Sword Circle disciples."Madam, Mr. Xayne specifically instructed us to keep you safe. He's in the middle of a duel.You shouldn't get too close," one of them explained.Serena frowned slightly. She knew she was heavily pregnant and could not help in the fight. If her presence distracted Xayne, the consequences could be

"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
Chapter 2683
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
