Chapter 287
Author: Blanco Burn
Swish!

Ropes landed in the courtyard as dozens of armed Strategic Eagle operatives and special forces soldiers descended. They formed a circle around Xayne, Linford, and several others.

Soon, they pointed their guns outward and roared in unison, “Drop your weapons, or we’ll shoot! Final warning!”

Squads of soldiers surged through every entrance and exit of the yard. They took control of the yard almost instantly.

"Drop your weapons now!"

"Get down, or we will use force!"

"Hands on your head and get on the ground!"

These booming orders left the gangsters panicked. Most simply discarded their weapons and huddled on the ground with their heads buried in their arms.

Although some resisted, the combatants charged in and kicked them down. Immediately after, they aimed their guns at the gangsters’ heads, shouting, “Stay down!”

Suddenly, several gangsters rushed forward with their knives.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots echoed through the yard as the gangsters fell into puddles of blood.

    Tage’s mind was a mess as he clutched Xayne’s shoes. The former thudded his forehead to the ground, pleading, “M-Mr. Xayne, I shouldn’t have kidnapped your daughter. I-I let my intrusive thoughts win! Please, spare my worthless life, Mr. Xayne. I’m just a worthless fool!”He was terrified as he looked at the combatants, ready to use him as a punching bag.Xayne gazed coldly at the man below him and said, “You’re the second person to harm my daughter. The first was someone from the Golding family, but I’ve already dealt with them. Do you think I’ll spare you?”Tage trembled all over.'What? The Goldings? It was Xayne who obliterated them?!'Tage continued to bed, “I was wrong, Mr. Xayne! Please spare me!”Bang! Xayne kicked Tage’s chest and sent him flying into a wooden pillar, shattering it. Tage sprawled on the ground as he spat blood from his mouth. His eyes widened in disbelief, succumbing to his injuries.Xayne turned to Linford and said, “You know what to do.”Immediatel

    Xayne lifted his daughter and explained with a smile, “Even patrol officers look like soldiers in a child’s eyes, right Coco?”Coco saw her father wink at her and nodded. “Yeah!”Serena frowned but didn’t press further.Half an hour later, Coco fell asleep. Serena glanced at Xayne and approached him, asking quietly, “I’m sorry for being so impulsive just now. Are you...okay?"Xayne raised an eyebrow at her. He palmed his cheek and smiled, “I’m fine. I wouldn’t mind you smacking me every day.”Serena pouted and said, “Smooth talker.”The two fell silent as they had nothing else to discuss. A moment later, they spoke simultaneously."You...""You..."Xayne smiled at Serena, “You first.”Serena tucked her hair behind her ear and asked with concern, “Do you have a plan to deal with the Lennings? Adrian’s promotion celebration is in three days. If you don’t figure out something by then, it would be best to leave Shalholm.”Xayne smiled. “Are you worried about me?”Serena rolled

    Violet glanced at the military jeep that had just left. She was puzzled, asking, “Tony, did you see that? Didn’t the person getting in look like Xayne? The license plate was Dragonbreakers Legion 00001!”Tony turned to look at the departing jeep and remarked, “You must be mistaken. Let’s go.”Violet frowned and murmured a few words to herself but did not dwell on the matter. When the trio entered the hospital, Violet asked, “Serena, where’s Xayne? Why isn’t he with you?”Serena stood up. “He said he had some personal matters and would be away for two days. He just left.”“He left Shalholm for two days?!” Violet slapped her thigh and exclaimed, “Are you that naive, Serena? What personal matters could he have? Adrian’s promotion is in three days. Xayne’s just leaving you and Coco behind! It’s all an excuse, and I doubt he’ll ever return!”Serena was shocked as a flicker of doubt flashed across her face. Still, she smiled and said, “Mom, I believe Xayne does have something urgent to

    The soldiers pinned the group to the ground and restrained them. They even dragged Coco out of the hospital bed.Serena shouted, “Who are you people?! What are you doing?! Let go of my daughter!”Coco jolted awake and started crying, “Mommy, I’m scared! Let go of my mommy! We didn’t do anything wrong! Where’s Daddy?!”Violet was worried as the soldiers yanked her up from the floor. She screamed, “Ah! We didn’t break any laws! How dare you arrest us for no reason! Help!”Smack!The squad leader slapped Violet, causing her lips to bleed. He growled, “Silence! We’re acting on General Adrian’s orders. Soldiers, take them away!”The soldiers pushed everyone out of the room as Violet yelled, “Serena, this is all because of you and Xayne! What do we do now? Are they going to drag us out and shoot us?”The more she cried, the more frightened she became. Tony was frustrated and glared at Serena, barking, “This is what you brought upon us! Xayne has abandoned you!”Serena’s head buzzed a

    Tony was outraged upon seeing Violet and Royce’s pathetic act. He roared, “What are you doing?! Get up! You’re so disgraceful!”Serena did not expect Violet and Royce to use such words. Her heart ached, and she felt abandoned.Kendall scoffed, “Let you go?! Fat chance! I won’t spare the family, let alone you! However, if you, Serena, are willing to kneel and beg for mercy, I might consider letting your daughter and parents go. How about that?”Serena frowned as she looked at Coco, wailing beside her. Serena’s heart was full of sorrow and reluctance. Violet and Royce urged her, “Serena, what are you waiting for?! Beg Ms. Kendall for mercy!“We don’t want them to take us away! You and Xayne caused this mess, so don’t bring us down with you!”Under their pressure, Serena’s eyes welled with tears. She looked at Kendall, took a deep breath, and said, “You’ll release my daughter and parents if I kneel, right?”Kendall replied, "That's correct."Serena knelt and pleaded, “Ms. Kendall,

    Serena’s head throbbed when she woke up. She felt around it and felt the sticky blood. Soon after, she struggled to get up from the ground.The room was dim, with only some sunlight shining through the vent. Serena was worried and anxious as she called out, “Coco? Coco!”She saw her daughter lying nearby in a pool of blood. Serena stumbled as she approached Coco and lifted her from the cold floor. She cradled her daughter and tried to wipe the blood off the little one’s face, trembling as she called out, “C-Coco, wake up. It’s me, Mommy. Coco?”She could not bear it if anything were to happen to her daughter."Cough, cough! M-Mommy, my head hurts. It's so painful..." Coco finally opened her eyes. However, her face was pale, and her voice feeble.Serena wailed as she embraced her daughter and pressed her cheek against Coco’s. The former whispered, “Mommy’s here, baby. Don’t be scared. Be brave and wait for Daddy to save us, okay?”“Will Daddy come and save us?” Coco asked weakly.

    Serena felt an excruciating pain in her lower abdomen. She knelt and desperately pleaded, “Please, release my daughter. I beg you!”The man held Coco tightly while taking her away. The little girl struggled, striking the man’s arms and cheeks with tiny fists. She exclaimed, “You’re all bad people! Don’t hurt my mommy! My daddy will come and punish you! M-Mommy, help!”Serena clutched her abdomen and knelt. She extended her trembling hand toward Coco, stammering, “D-Don’t cry, Coco! I-I’ll be okay.”Suddenly, Kendall slapped Coco. “Keep crying, and I’ll bury you alive, you little brat!”Coco swallowed her sobs, her eyes brimming with tears. Meanwhile, Serena begged, “Ms. Kendall, please let my baby go. Please!”Kendall approached Serena and looked down at her. “Do you think I’m playing games with you, Serena? I’ll never let you two leave. If you want me to release you, tell me where Xayne is!”She was angry because Xayne had left Shalholm, and they could not find him.‘Did he run

    At that moment, someone else appeared at the door and commanded, “That’s enough!”Adrian entered and glared at Kendall before turning to look at the kneeling Serena. Meanwhile, Kendall furrowed her brows as she looked at her brother with slight displeasure, saying, “Didn’t you promise you’d let me handle them as I see fit?”Adrian replied, “I did, and I won’t break it, but not now! I’m not an official Lieutenant yet. If anything goes wrong, Linford could arrest me. Understand?”Kendall was unhappy as she glared at Serena and muttered, “Consider your daughter lucky.”Immediately after, she turned and left the small warehouse. Adrian stayed behind and observed the tense Serena holding Coco. He said, “You have two days to consider things. Tell me Xayne’s whereabouts, or I’ll auction you two off as slaves at my celebration. Got it?”Serena bit her lip and stared at him. “You can ask me where he is a hundred times, and I still wouldn’t know where he is.”Adrian smirked. “All right, I

    "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

    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

    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
