Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2265
The two returned to the small courtyard, stepping out of the car as if no time had passed. In reality, an entire day and night had elapsed.As Xayne and Thando entered, Janko and the others hurried over with faces filled with worry."Commander, any news?" Janko asked anxiously."Mempho," Xayne replied calmly.Janko's face turned pale. "Mempho" wasn't a name anyone in modern Egenda would recognize."Um… Mr. Xayne, where did you hear that? Are you sure the information is reliable?" Janko asked hesitantly, his tone hinting at skepticism. It was not impossible that someone had misled an outsider like Xayne.Aava, who was sharper and more knowledgeable about historical contexts, interjected, "Mr. Xayne, Mempho disappeared into the sands of the desert seven centuries ago."A murmur of doubt spread among the group. They doubt Spencer's whereabouts really in a long-lost city.Alban, however, chimed in with a grave explanation, "The location isn't entirely uninhabited. Today, it's a hav
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2266
Mempho, a city that had long faded into the sands of history, was now a shadow of its former glory. What remained were a few dozen mud-brick homes and dusty streets, where bearded mercenaries openly cleaned their weapons. Alongside them, a few pale-skinned foreigners whistled mockingly as Xayne's jeep rolled into town.Here, there was only survival, brutality, and death.Mercenaries, hardened by a life of blood and steel, kept their guard up even in moments of relative calm.As Xayne approached a small tavern in the town's center, six or seven men in camouflage stepped into the road, blocking their way. One of them, a bearded man, raised his weapon and pointed it at Gordon, who was in the driver's seat. His eyes gleamed with recognition."Well, well, isn't this Gordon? What brings you out of Carollan's comfort to our little rural area?" the bearded man sneered.Gordon did not flinch. He stepped out of the vehicle with ease, greeting the man with a pat on the shoulder. "Just passin

The group sat quietly at their corner table, nursing beers and discussing plans to gather intel. Plates of simple fare were barely touched as the atmosphere of the tavern seeped into their conversation.The creak of the tavern door being pushed open drew everyone's attention.A man and a woman entered, their silhouettes framed by the dim light outside. The sudden intrusion startled one of the men gambling at the center table. He snapped his gun up, aiming it at the newcomers with a sharp growl."Fuck! You scared the hell out of me!"Before he could finish pulling the trigger, the woman moved. Her hand flicked, sending a glint of steel through the smoky air.The room froze as a muffled grunt escaped the man as his gun clattered to the floor. Blood spurted from his wrist—the hand holding the weapon severed cleanly at the joint by the razor-sharp shuriken embedded in the wall behind him."Ahhh!" The injured man's screams were lost in the immediate chaos.The tavern erupted as dozen

The mercenaries present were stunned by the young woman's decisiveness and ruthlessness. As fearless as they were, none of them wanted to die without understanding why."Luna, you're always so impulsive. Didn't Dojima ask us to—""Dojima?! Don't mention that name in front of me!" The young woman cut him off sharply. Her voice carried an authority that brooked no argument. She strode toward Xayne, but with each step, she radiated a stifling aura that pressed down on everyone.Aava frowned as she watched the young woman approach. Instinctively, she grabbed Xayne's arm."This woman… she seems kind of…""Terrifying, right?" Xayne chuckled, his tone casual, as if he did not care that the person they were discussing could hear every word.Aava wanted to nod but ended up shaking her head instead.The feeling was indescribable. All she knew was that it made her profoundly uncomfortable."Since we've run into each other here, how about stepping outside for a chat?" Luna's striking eye

"My teacher, Arnfried, has some dealings with a few Eukrania families," Luna began with a composed tone. "I'm here to negotiate on his behalf. As for the man you're looking for, I've heard of him. He's heavily protected right now." She paused, her gaze sharp."A Tri-Divine Commander-level expert is guarding him around the clock. You can't get close. Even for me, rescuing him would be a monumental challenge."Luna was always confident in her abilities. In the world of assassins, someone with her power was equivalent to a Bi-Divine Commander, which was exceedingly rare.Her words were not empty boasts. She had the skill to back them up and the authority to make Xayne believe that abandoning his mission was his only viable option."Really?" Xayne leaned casually against the black SUV as he faintly smiled. "Is it the Ashlan Lanchester family holding him?"Luna's head tilted slightly as she studied him."That's correct. Since you know it's connected to the Ashlan Lanchester family,
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2270
Luna nodded slightly and in a calm voice. "Of course, I've seen him. If this had nothing to do with you, I might never have told you. Whether or not you save him doesn't matter anymore."Xayne frowned. "What do you mean by that? Don't tell me… he's dead?""No," Luna replied, her tone cutting through the tension. "Spencer isn't dead. But he betrayed Drakonia. Now, he's a guest of honor for the Ashlan Lanchester family. And the whole 'kidnapping' story? It's a lie."She crossed her arms, and her gaze icy."This was all a ploy. Originally, it was meant to pressure Drakonia. But now, he's not just a bargaining chip. He's become bait."Xayne drew a sharp breath. The revelation struck him like a thunderclap.'Spencer… defected?'"Luna, we've known each other for three years. I've always considered us to be on decent terms, even friends. But Spencer betraying the Drakonia—are you absolutely certain?" Xayne asked in a darkened tone.""As certain as the sun rising tomorrow. You don't ha
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2271
The sound of shattering glass echoed, and the call was abruptly cut off. At the same time, hurried footsteps approached from the back entrance of the tavern.Xayne spotted a middle-aged man in a church robe, followed by several men in suits, striding into the tavern."Not good," Xayne muttered, quickly setting down the satellite phone and rushing into the tavern.Inside, Tira and another man had surrounded Gordon's table."Tira, we have no ties anymore. I've already resigned from your father's company. You should be satisfied now," Gordon said, locking eyes with Tira.Tira smirked. "Gordon, I think you forgot one thing. How are you going to pay for that slap?" His eyes roamed over the group, lingering lasciviously on Aava, making her visibly uncomfortable. Aava felt a chill of impending danger. The atmosphere had grown tense, and even the mercenaries in the tavern sensed the ominous threat looming."I'll apologize. Let my friends go. Please." Gordon offered, standing slowly.T

The young man, named Jagson, was a key representative sent by the Einar family. The meeting in Mempho was strategically planned not only to address their internal affairs but also to eliminate all mercenaries in the area and replace them with their operatives. They had laid an intricate trap, anticipating Xayne's arrival. If Drakonia didn't send Xayne, they intended to force them to hand him over.To their surprise, Xayne had walked right into their stronghold, the same tavern where they had set their trap. The remaining people lost their value, and Jagson even let Gordon and others escape. It was not an act of mercy. Jagson knew that assassins were lying in wait along the route to Carollan. Gordon and Aava wouldn't make it far."So, you're from the Einar family?" Xayne asked with a smile."Exactly. Remember my name. I am Jagson." He stepped aside, revealing two imposing figures: a tall, burly man and a robed cleric. They were the family's elite enforcers—Capua, a top operative, and

"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
