Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2320
Dean's wild provocations quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.At that moment, a striking young woman stepped forward, removing her sunglasses as she made her way through the throng.The woman was dressed in an elegant black gown, the hemline revealing a pair of flawless, slender legs that caught everyone's attention. Her expression, however, was haughty, as though she looked down on everyone around her.She was Deanana Lovorka, the heiress of the Lovorka family conglomerate. While not exactly a household name, she was considered a minor socialite in the upper circles of Drakonix."Manager Dean, it's been a while!" Deanana greeted casually.As someone who frequently traveled abroad for business, Deanana was a familiar face at the airport and she had crossed paths with Dean on several occasions.But she was not here for a casual chat with Dean. It was far from it.She had come specifically to see Xayne.This was, after all, the legendary King of the North. Just six months ago, he w
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2321
"Heh, Miss Deanana, you also know that's all in the past. Even if he were still the King of the North, we live in peaceful times now. No one gets special privileges, right?" Dean chimed in smoothly, his tone laced with mockery."Dean! Do you even realize what you're doing?!" Aava could not hold back any longer, her eyes glaring fiercely as she clenched her fists in anger."Of course, I know what I'm doing, and I know neither of you are ordinary people. Thinking about hitting me? Don't forget, there are plenty of reporters over there. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll make sure Xayne's reputation is ruined," Dean replied smugly.Dean's sneer widened into a wicked grin, the confidence radiating from him undeniable."Manager Dean, how about this? To be honest, I used to admire Mr. Xayne. Why don't you do me a favor and return his belongings? It would be a great gesture," Deanana interjected with a gentle smile.Upon hearing this, Aava bristled with fury. She knew Deanana was up to s

Deanana glanced at Xayne as she coyly smiled. "Mr. Xayne, no need to be so reserved with me. After all, I used to be one of your admirers. I always thought you were an extraordinary man."Although it seems I misjudged you, still, you were a part of my girlish dreams. Don't let your current misfortunes bother you too much. People say a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, and while that's true, I happen to have a kind heart."Her words, though laced with laughter, were razor-sharp. Each one was a jab meant to cut deep.Her meaning was clear: "You might have been a shining star once, but now, you're nothing in my eyes—not even worth a second glance." Helping Xayne get his luggage was just an act, nothing more."Mr. Xayne, do you remember? Just a few years ago, at this very airport, you were returning from... oh yes, the Seven Nations Summit!"You know, I waited at the airport entrance for over four hours that morning just to get your autograph. But sadly, your security team didn'
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2323
'Wasn't it Xayne who decapitated 200,000 soldiers? What about the Five-Nation Army's generals? Didn't they all die to Xayne's blade?'Dozens of security guards stood frozen, staring at Xayne as if they were wooden statues, not even daring to breathe heavily.Upon seeing that the security guards did not dare to move, Dean glared at Xayne with anger in his eyes. "Xayne! You... you're no longer the King of the North! How dare you hit me?! I won't let this go!""Oh? You won't let this go? Fine. I'd like to see how far you'll take it," Xayne responded with a frosty smile.His cold gaze bore into Dean, making the latter's knees weak.It had only been a month since Xayne had last been in Drakonix, yet the changes astonished him. The Eastin family, emboldened after the downfall of the Bullard family, now dared to provoke him openly.Clearly, the Big Four had not learned their lesson.Without another word, Xayne took out his phone and dialed a number."Xayne? Are you in Drakonix? I'll h
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2324
Dean's screams echoed through the terminal, one after another. Eventually, his cries turned into pitiful whimpers, sounding like a dog's yelps. Yet the security personnel showed no signs of stopping."President Gareth! Please, stop! I'm going to die if this keeps up! President Gareth, Xayne isn't even the King of the North anymore. You can't—," Dean begged senselessly. "Not the King of the North?! Have you completely lost your mind? When did you get the authority to act on behalf of the Emperor and revoke his titles?! If I don't kill you today, I will be disgraced!" Gareth's voice roared as his eyes bulged with fury.The Emperor had merely decreed that Elias temporarily oversee the Northern Plains's military affairs and command the Dragonbreakers Legion in Xayne's stead. Never had there been an order to strip Xayne of his title as King of the North.For Dean to spew such treasonous nonsense was not only a death sentence for him but could also implicate Gareth.Unable to contain h
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2325
At the mere thought of The Apex Syndicate, Gareth felt his heart turn to ash.If he could not earn Xayne's forgiveness, his entire family might end up dead. The law did not care for personal grievances, and it was ruthless in these circles.Yet here Dean was still demanding an explanation for his dismissal."I don't believe it! Who the hell does Xayne think he is? There weren't any wars anymore! The coalition forces packed up and left years ago—nobody's scared of him now! Hah, forget firing me; I quit! And let me tell you, I've got bigger fish on my side. Miodrag! Help me out here!"Dean's desperate cries finally caught Miodrag's attention."Uh, Mr. Gareth, right? You might wanna let him go. This is Drakonia International Airport, not a back alley. You don't want this kind of attention on us Drakonians, do you?" Miodrag drawled as he stepped forward.As he spoke, Miodrag shot a look at a few of his men. They rushed forward and muscled their way past the security guards who were p

The deep roar of helicopters filled the air as over twenty military choppers bore down on the airport.Before they could even touch the ground, a figure leaped from one of the helicopters. A man wearing the insignia of a general. He hit the pavement running and stormed into the terminal, his boots pounding against the tiles.Upon reaching Xayne, the officer snapped to attention with a crisp salute."Sir! Lieutenant General Ammar, Commander of the Drakonix Imperial Guards, reporting to the King of the North!"Dean nearly collapsed in terror, his legs buckling beneath him. Drakonia froze, her mind unable to process what she was witnessing.Jozef's arrival had already been overwhelming, but Ammar was at an entirely different level. Ammar was not just any officer. After the Five Nation Army had besieged Drakonix, he had risen to command the nation's elite defense unit. His authority rivaled that of the top generals across all theaters of war. Even nationwide, his name carried weight
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2327
The same words. He had just heard them moments ago.Now, a cold bead of sweat slid down Miodrag's temple as he stared at Dean, whose face had been pounded into an unrecognizable mess.Even as a member of the powerful Eastin family, Miodrag felt no sense of security at this moment.Around him, the hostile gazes of onlookers seemed to pierce through his arrogant exterior. He had always looked down on commoners, but this time, he could not ignore the weight of their collective anger. He knew all too well—that provoking public outrage could mean his end.Dean lay on the floor, blood streaming from his battered face as he gasped for air.Terror filled his eyes as he looked up at Ammar, his mind consumed with regret. But regret could not turn back time."Who do you think you are, to seize Mr. Xayne's belongings? Do you even know what Mr. Xayne has done for this country? He has bled and sacrificed for this nation! Even I, Ammar, address him respectfully as the King of the North!" Ammar'

"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
