Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2231
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

Before Charlie could respond, Xayne's palm strikes rained down like a relentless storm. Even though Charlie's Sacred Lion Armor was impervious to blades, it had a glaring weakness. It offered little resistance against the impact of raw force.Like the concept of exploit someone's Achilles' heel, Xayne's strikes bypassed the armor's surface and delivered their energy directly into Charlie's body. In less than ten seconds, Xayne had landed over a hundred slaps, each blow vibrating through the armor and rattling Charlie's organs."Xayne, you demon! Stay back! I... I forfeit! The duel is off!"Blood gushed from Charlie's mouth as his internal injuries mounted.The armor, which was meant to grant him invincibility, had now become a liability, slowing his movements and leaving him utterly vulnerable to Xayne's relentless assault."You may choose when to start, but when it ends, that's for me to decide," Xayne sneered with his voice laced with icy amusement. Charlie, now no more than a

"What?!" Charlie's mind went blank. He didn't know what Xayne meant. It seemed like he was not planning to trade his life for Spencer's freedom."Spencer's capture must be tied to your Ashlan Lanchester family, right? Otherwise, how could you be so certain he'd be released within three days?"Xayne's leg swung forward in a thunderous kick, sending Charlie flying over three meters. He crashed against a towering tree, collapsing to the ground. The kick left Charlie writhing in agony, his intestines feeling as if they had been torn apart. His body refused to straighten, and he could only curl up in a pitiful ball.Xayne's slow, deliberate footsteps echoed like the harbinger of death, each step making Charlie shudder uncontrollably."Xayne! The imperial decree forbids you from killing me! You can't! You can't!" Charlie screamed, his eyes bulging with madness as he clawed at the ground, trying in vain to crawl away."Not killing you would fail to appease public fury. Not killing you

Charlie's corpse lay unrecognizable, beaten into an unrecognizable mass of flesh and blood. The kickboxers and Folksworth elites present shivered inwardly. Compared to this, Xayne's treatment of them was practically merciful.Bernie glared at Xayne's back with gritted teeth, his face twisted in resentment as he turned and stormed off toward the airport. Xayne defied and humiliated him in front of everyone. This insult could not go unanswered.As he walked, Bernie plotted how to present Xayne's transgressions before the Emperor."Bernie, Xayne is not someone to provoke. He's… ruthless," a middle-aged man nearby stammered as his fear was evident.Bernie shot him a cold glance and sneered, "Killing him doesn't require a blade."With that, he stepped into his car and sped off toward the airport.Meanwhile, Xayne carried the armor back to his villa, visibly pleased with his spoils.Given Serena's pregnancy, her powerlessness left her no different than an ordinary person. The armor's

Xayne finished speaking and placed a gentle kiss on Serena's forehead.Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen, but the caller ID displayed no number.Assuming it was the Emperor, Xayne pressed the answer button without hesitation. "Your Majesty!""Xayne, I’ve heard that Charlie is dead. While that outcome is something I anticipated, this makes Spencer’s situation much more dangerous. Without the Ashlan Lanchester family mediating, things could spiral...""Emperor, actually, Spencer’s kidnapping likely ties directly to the Ashlan Lanchester family. Otherwise, Charlie wouldn’t have said what he did before dying," Xayne replied.He then repeated Charlie’s final words to the Emperor."Hmm... Your analysis is sound, Xayne. If that’s the case, it’s not just Charlie—many of the recent actions targeting Drakonia are probably connected as well," the Emperor continued, explaining the current situation.Other nations were itching to strike, targeting Drakonia’s business elites

In fact, Yzil had never mentioned this request to Yves before.Although Aava was also in the Black Ice Platform, she did not work in Afrishan but was the captain of the assassin team in Eukrania. When she heard that Xayne was going to Afrishan in person this time, she immediately asked her grandfather to communicate with Yves and transfer herself to Afrishan.The reason was simple. Xayne was not only famous in Drakonia, but also had long been a legend in the entire Eukrania.Aava actually admired Xayne a long time ago and hoped to meet Xayne. She could not give up this rare opportunity. Yves knew that Aava's strength was still at the level of a one-star coach. In the Afrishan team, she was the weakest. Therefore, he specifically told Xayne to ensure her safety.The next morning, Xayne boarded a private jet bound for Afrishan.As the plane soared across the skies, Xayne's mind raced, planning his approach to locate the pyramid where Spencer was being held.Afrishan had hundreds

"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
