Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2238
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

Yzil had not kept up with the situation back at home for years. He had no idea that Xayne, beyond being the King of the North" carried other identities, or that he had defeated legendary figures like the Bullard family's elders.From Yzil's first impression, Xayne seemed like a frail, bookish scholar, someone who would likely become a burden.Afrishan was not just about its treacherous terrain, but also its political web which was more dangerous. Every faction was deeply entrenched. One wrong move could lead to catastrophic consequences.So, from the moment he laid eyes on Xayne, Yzil's opinion of him was far from favorable."Not bad," Xayne responded blandly to Yzil's pointed question.From Yzil's demeanor, Xayne easily read his disdain. However, being new to the team, he chose to avoid conflict for now.Years ago, Xayne had dominated battlefields. Jungle warfare, desert combat—even aerial dogfights—he had faced it all and emerged victorious. He had walked into countless death
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2240
The journey was a relentless stretch of desolation, with vast deserts and endless seas of sand. The scorching sun baked the land, and waves of heat shimmered in the air, rippling like the surface of a burning ocean.Xayne stared out at the desert as he frowned. He was long accustomed to such an environment, but Spencer consumed his thoughts.In such punishing weather, captivity in a pyramid was not just unbearable—it was dangerous. While the outside baked under the sun, the inside of the pyramid would be bitterly cold, creating extreme humidity. For an ordinary person like Spencer, prolonged confinement in such conditions could prove disastrous.Upon noticing Xayne frowned, Yzil smirked derisively."What's wrong, Mr. Xayne? Not used to the climate? I thought you said you were experienced in desert warfare?" He punctuated his sarcasm by cracking his knuckles, the sound sharp and deliberate.Xayne ignored him, his gaze remaining fixed on the sand dunes, his face marked with quiet co

Without a special pass authorized by the local authorities, there was no chance of getting close to the pyramid, let alone entering it. Even with a pass, they could only enter under the guise of archaeological research."Yzil, you're so capable! Honestly, I was just thinking about this problem earlier," one of the team members eagerly complimented him.This exchange highlighted Yzil's influence and network in the area."Unlike some people born with a silver spoon in their mouth, claiming titles like 'King of the North' or 'Chief Commander of Military Theater,' I had to build everything myself! But hey, I do know a few people," Yzil said smugly.Not long after, Xayne and Aava finished their lunch. Spotting Yzil and his team at a small diner across the street, Aava grabbed Xayne's arm and led him over to join them."Yzil, what's the plan for the rest of the day?" Aava asked, turning to Yzil."To find Spencer, we need to eliminate possibilities systematically. And to do that, we nee
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2242
On any other day, Yzil wouldn't have given attention to someone like Mapen, a mid-level official from a small Afrishan country. Not even someone several ranks higher would usually warrant his attention.After all, Yzil was a top-tier operative and a member of an elite assassination unit. The circles he moved in were far above Mapen's.But coming to Carollan this time was different. They needed Mapen's special access pass."These are my friends," Yzil said, gesturing to the group as he introduced them to Mapen.Mapen barely nodded in acknowledgment, not even bothering to shift his posture. The others stood and politely greeted him one by one.However, Xayne remained seated, completely unfazed, not even lifting himself from his chair. Yzil frowned at Xayne's indifference.Xayne was once the "King of the North," but that was in the past. Even with his title restored, it was more ceremonial than functional. He shouldn't act so arrogant in Afrishan. Yzil had spent nearly two decades
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2243
Yzil patted Xayne on the shoulder twice, offering a pointed reminder before walking off with his drink to toast Mapen.The message was clear. If they wanted access to the pyramid and any hope of tracking down Spencer, Xayne would have to drop the attitude and play along, buttering up Mapen.Xayne, however, merely glanced at Yzil with calm indifference, saying nothing. It didn't matter whether Xayne was still the "King of the North." As the Dracolord of Dracarium, he had no need to grovel. A single phone call and Mapen would be on his knees.Meanwhile, a boisterous group was raising glasses in the private room next door. At the head of the table sat a young man, oozing arrogance as he lounged with a few scantily-clad models draped over him. These weren't local women either; each one was a stunning Eukranian beauty, with their glamorous features and shapely figures practically spilling out of the crowded space. With one arm wrapped around a model's shoulder and the other holding a dri
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2244
That towering figure was the one who had once led them to countless victories, sweeping across nations. In every difficult moment, he had been their pillar of strength.Meanwhile, in the private room next door, Yzil and a few team members were raising glasses to Mapen. On the one hand, they needed to secure the access pass from him. On the other, they needed Mapen to sign off on an order to have his troops escort them. Without military protection, even with the access pass, they'd face endless harassment. This wasn't like Drakonia, where government officials worked with integrity and unity. Here, even a minor clerk could make life an unbearable mess for anyone.So, they took turns toasting Mapen, everyone except Xayne. He simply ate in silence. His mind was occupied with plans to bring Spencer safely back to Drakonia. Rescuing Spencer wasn't the problem. Mobilizing Dracarium's local network could locate him in minutes. The real challenge lay in the Ashlan Lanchester family and th

The young man shot a cold look at the bodyguard and sneered, "Such loyalty and bravery. Fine. Someone, bring in ten cases of wine. Let him drink as much as he wants!""No! Young Master, I'll drink it!" Gordon stepped forward, taking the beer glass from the table.Just as his fingers touched the glass, the young man sprang to his feet. His hand lashed out, landing a hard slap on the bodyguard's face."Who the hell do you think you are? Drinking in place of Gordon? What's next, eating his meals for him too?" The young man grabbed the bodyguard by the collar, yanked him close, and pulled out a handgun, pressing the barrel firmly against the man's temple."Please, Young Master, calm down! It's my fault he acted so rashly. Let me take responsibility on his behalf," Gordon said quickly, his voice calm but resolute. Without hesitation, Gordon pinched his nose and downed the glass of beer.A burning sensation seared through his stomach as the alcohol hit him hard.He clenched his teeth,

"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

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
