Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 267
Violet’s anger grew when she saw Xayne walking in with a smile. She scolded, “What did you just say?! How will you resolve this in a day? Stop making such bold claims, Xayne.”Royce chimed in, “You’re just a good-for-nothing. You might be skilled, but can you bring any investments to the family? Remember how useless you are before acting so arrogantly.”Royce was irritated, thinking, ‘What will I do if Xayne’s assault on Kendall got me kicked out of the family?’Meanwhile, Tony saw Xayne attentively pouring soup by the bedside for Serena. Tony asked sternly, “How do you plan on handling it?”Violet and Royce grew anxious. Violet tugged at Tony’s sleeve and shouted, “Are you crazy, Tony?! You believe this idiot?”Then, she glared at Xayne, saying, “No matter what, you will apologize to the Lennings today. You said you wanted to protect my daughter, right? Shouldn’t you take responsibility for your recklessness for Serena and Coco’s sakes?”Serena frowned and spoke up for Xayne, “M

Xayne shook his head. "No need. Just give me the address, and I'll go there myself." With that said, he left.Meanwhile, the atmosphere was tense in the Swift Group’s boardroom. All the higher-ups and family members gathered to discuss the family’s dire matters.“Mr. Eric, we must take Xayne to the Lennings! Otherwise, it’ll be the end for our company.”“I agree, Mr. Eric. Over a dozen partner companies have cut ties with us, resulting in millions in losses! Bankruptcy won’t be far off.”“General Adrian has personally issued a warning. No one dares to defy him. Xayne and that wretched Serena caused all this. We must hand them over to the Lennings!”Everyone agreed to give Xayne and Serena to the Lennings. However, Eric sat in his chairman's seat with a frown.At that moment, Sophia stepped forward to fan the flames. “Grandpa, there’s no need to consider it. We can’t afford to offend the Lennings. I was there and witnessed Xayne being ruthless to Kendall.“He also clashed with

“What? Are you sure they want to cooperate with our family?” Eric was stunned.‘Why would they want to work with us at such a critical moment? Won’t they be challenging Adrian and the Lennings by doing that?’Everyone in the boardroom was puzzled. However, they knew it was a saving grace. Simultaneously, they wondered who caused this.“Mr. Eric, does our family have a benefactor? I wonder who dared to go against General Adrian’s orders to make these people sign contracts with us.”“That’s possible! It seems we got lucky.”"Let's go meet them!"Everyone hurried out of the boardroom. When Eric and the others reached the lobby, they saw representatives from over a dozen local enterprises anxiously awaiting.“Mr. Tommy, Mr. Randy, Mr. Jay, what brings you here?” Eric trembled when he saw the CEOs and chairpersons in the lobby. After all, these were well-known figures and big shots in Shalholm.Even if Eric visited their companies, he might not necessarily get to see them. Unexpecte

Jay and the other CEOs prepared to leave. Meanwhile, everyone from the Swify Group gasped in shock at Jay’s words.‘This is all because of Xayne?! That can’t be real. Why would it be because of him?’Eric chased after Jay and asked, “Mr. Jay, are you sure about that? Did Mr. Chuck really say it’s because he respects Xayne?!”Jay nodded and affirmed, “Of course, I’m sure Mr. Chuck said that. As for his reasons, I believe only Mr. Chuck and Xayne know. Gentlemen, we have other matters to tend to, so we’ll take our leave now.”Jay and the others left Swift Group immediately after. Everyone in the Swift Group lobby was still in shock.“H-How could Xayne have a connection with Mr. Chuck?” Sophia was full of doubt and concern while Tim’s expression turned solemn, realizing his plans had fallen apart.He approached Eric and said, “Dad, we can’t let our guard down, even if that’s the case. After all, the other party is General Adrian. No matter how wealthy or influential Mr. Chuck may

Tim’s statement shocked Serena.‘All of that was Xayne’s doing? Isn’t Mr. Chuck the wealthiest man in Shalholm? Why would someone like him help us because of Xayne? By doing this, Mr. Chuck is opposing Adrian and the Lennings.’From this incident, Serena finally realized that Xayne had substantial influence.'W-Who exactly is he? Xayne used to be friends with Lieutenant Linford, which explains the special treatment Xayne had. Yet Xayne has an unclear relationship with Mr. Chuck.’Serena looked at Tim conflictedly, saying, “I-I don’t know about that. Xayne even mentioned anything like that to me.”Tim nodded with a faint smile. “That’s okay. We’ll ask him about it when he returns.”Meanwhile, Tony and Violet exchanged suspicious glances. Tony asked, “Is that true, Tim? Why would Mr. Chuck send people to cooperate with Swift Group because of Xayne?”Tim nodded. "Yes, I’m telling you all the truth. Dad told me to come and ask Xayne about it. Suppose Xayne does know Chuck and has a

“That’s a pity. Since we got the answers Dad wanted, we’ll take our leave.” Tim’s expression rapidly changed as he turned to leave with Sophia.Tony wanted to follow them, but Violet stopped him and said, “Where are you going? They don’t need you to see them off. Didn’t you see their expressions, especially Sophia’s? Stay here.”Then, she looked at Xayne and scoffed, “Although you’re incapable most of the time, you handled it well. I won’t hold that against you but don’t forget Adrian’s promotion ceremony. Have you settled things with the Lennings? Don't cause us more trouble!"“My mom’s right, Xayne. You should apologize to them now if you can’t settle it soon,” Royce said.Xayne smiled, “Rest assured, I’ll take care of it.”When Violet left, Tony glanced at Serena and sighed helplessly before following her and Royce out of the ward. Only Xayne and Serena remained in the room, with Coco playing with her toys in the corner.Serena asked Xayne again, “Are you sure you’re not close

Suddenly, Ace entered with an air of determination. When he entered, the air of a seasoned warrior filled the atmosphere, causing everyone to fall into immediate silence and tremble in response.The man exuded an overpowering presence that was far from ordinary. He swept his frigid gaze on everyone but didn’t take the main seat. Instead, he stood aside and introduced himself, “I’m Ace. You may not know me, but I know you all.”As Ace spoke, Donovan respectfully handed him the profiles of these individuals.The former looked through the documents and said, “I only have one purpose for summoning you here. You must sever ties with the Lennings.”Gasps filled the room when those words fell.Some were angry as they stood up and yelled at Donovan. One said, “Is this why you called us here? We don’t know that man beside you. Who gave him the authority to demand such a thing? Have you lost your mind?”Someone else echoed, “Donovan, explain yourself, or we’ll inform General Adrian about t
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 274
Ace smiled and said, “You few asked excellent questions just now. However, I’d like to clarify that the Lennings haven’t offended me.”“Phew.” The crowd sighed in relief, thinking there seemed to be a misunderstanding. Even so, Ace’s following statement sent shivers down everyone’s spines, “The Lennings have offended my older brother, who is my immediate superior.”Boom! His statement resembled a bombshell that had just landed.“What?! How did the Lennings offend someone of that caliber? Mr. Ace is most likely a Major or Captain since he has a First Lieutenant stationed at the door.”“So, Mr. Ace’s immediate superior could be a Supreme Commander. The Lennings must be out of their minds to offend someone like that.”Everyone in the room gasped. After all, a person of such rank could even command the clouds and rain.“Why would the Lennings provoke such an extraordinary figure?”Someone mustered the courage to ask, "Mr. Ace, may I know your military rank?"Ace smiled faintly an

"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
