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

In terms of family strength, the old families have never taken the Drakonian circles seriously, never regarding them as equals. Even influential figures like King Eros were considered pawns. So, seeing subordinates stand up to them was an affront bordering on foolishness."If you're so eager to die, I'll oblige!" Emanro declared coldly, brandishing a large crucifix sword. Simultaneously, Capua took position by the door, his gaze locking onto the effeminate young man, his eyes gleaming with menace."You'd dare attack us?" Luna's voice carried a mix of disbelief and tension. The alliance between King Eros and Eukrania families had lasted for years. Their relationship was built on mutual benefit and respect. Emanro and the others knew King Eros's secret identity, yet they were willing to turn on them."Luna, no need for words. You can only use swords and knives to talk to these people!" the effeminate man interjected, his voice dripping with disdain as he drew his blade, exuding an aur
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2274
As the standoff shifted from a three-way confrontation to a tense four-way face-off, a flicker of frustration flashed in Emanro's eyes. Eliminating Xayne and the others would've been straightforward, but the involvement of the Egenda priests complicated everything. If they acted now, they risked drawing the attention of the High Priests, each a Divine Commander powerhouse. Any one of them could annihilate everyone present in a snap of a finger."You meddling in Einar family affairs is beyond your…" Jagson started angrily."Jagson!" Emanro cut him off sharply, sensing the volatile situation. They couldn't afford to provoke any side further. Even confronting Xayne would have to wait until they navigated this mess."What's the meaning of this, Emanro?" Jagson's confusion was evident. He hadn't grasped how dramatically the power dynamics had shifted. What had begun as a simple vendetta now had them outnumbered, facing formidable enemies from all sides.From the previous two-way confron

"Mr. Xayne, you heard him. Spencer isn't here. If you want to see him, you can follow us to Kaman." Emanro spoke through gritted teeth, barely containing his anger."Spencer is in Kaman? Are you trying to lure me to Eukrania?" Xayne's cold smile widened. He saw through their ploy instantly. Instead of chasing shadows, he had a better plan: eliminate Emanro and Capua with the priests' help and capture Jagson. That would be the perfect bargaining chip against the Einar family.Luna and Castrid quickly grasped Xayne's intent, stepping back to distance themselves from the Einar family. They stood beside Xayne, signaling their neutrality."Santos, you heard him. It's not that we want to stay, but…" Emanro tried to explain."That's your problem! For centuries, the Church has cloaked itself in charity while slaughtering innocent people! How many devout believers fell to your crusades? A thousand years have passed, and you still dare to set foot in the holy city of thousands of years ago.
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2276
The experts from Egenda, having faced an ancient curse, specialized solely in controlling fire once they became Divine Commanders. Santos and his companion were Quin-Divine Commanders, far surpassing anything Janko had faced before. Their mastery of fire was unparalleled.In the blink of an eye, the intense heat wave engulfed Emanro, setting his pristine white robe ablaze. It was reduced to rags."Go to hell!" Emanro roared in fury and lunged at Santos, his eyes filled with desperation. He thrust his sword toward one priest, but Santos's dagger struck from behind.Two muffled sounds echoed, and both combatants were injured. Emanro's blade pierced the priest's abdomen, while Santos's dagger sank deep into Emanro's shoulder, reaching the bone. His hand trembled as he gripped his weapon. Continuing this battle would only mean death. Gritting his teeth, Emanro cast a desperate glance at Jagson before retreating into the night."Santos! You'll pay for today's actions!" he spat before di

"You mean Spencer was never held captive by you?" Xayne instinctively questioned.From Jagson's words, Xayne deduced that Spencer held a significant status and that his cooperation with the Einar family was far more complex than it appeared."Captive? Mr. Xayne, you might not know this, but Spencer approached us willingly to establish a partnership. I don't even have the right to know his whereabouts, let alone restrict his freedom! "The forces backing him are so formidable that even the Einar family fears them. Saying we kidnapped him is just a story he made up. I've told you everything I know," Jagson managed a bitter smile."What? You're saying someone else is backing Spencer?" Xayne's expression grew serious.This revelation hinted at multiple layers to Spencer's identity. Being a spy for the Black Ice Platform was likely just one of his many roles."Yes. There's someone called the Lord Light. I've never met him. Even my grandfather only saw him once. That's all I know. I'm ju

Castrid let out a sinister smile. "Taking advantage of the Roland family won't be easy. Emanro is a loose end. We should track him down and eliminate him.""Or, we could leverage this kid," he added, tracing the blade along Jagson's face.Xayne shook his head slightly. "Hunting down Emanro is a last resort. He'll come back eventually. Tomorrow morning, let Jagson make a call to his family."Luna cast a cold glance at the unconscious Jagson. "He's the Einar family's liaison head. Using him as leverage is tricky. If we triggered the family head, the consequences won't be pretty."The Einar family head, known as the Lion King, was a formidable and enigmatic figure rumored to be a Radiant Commander. No one had fought him, but it was well-known that powerful families in Eukrania were backed by immense strength.There was an unwritten rule. Radiant Commanders shouldn't interfere in worldly affairs or harm ordinary people. However, if provoked, no one could predict the fallout."A coupl

"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
