Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 430
The Shalholm Business Association cocktail party occurred at the Whitehorse Manor, near the outskirts of Shalholm. The scenery was breathtaking, and the estate exuded splendor.As night fell, the Whitehorse Manor’s lights shined through the surroundings. The entrance had various luxury cars like Porsches, Ferraris, Bentleys, and even a Rolls-Royce.The attendees were prominent figures of Shalholm. They encompassed the first- and second-tier families of Shalholm, as well as high-profile CEOs and chairpersons. Eric’s and Serena’s family arrived at the Whitehorse Manor in awe.The cost of building this manor was a staggering hundred and forty million dollars. It lived up to the Shalholm Business Association’s reputation. However, one person was conspicuously absent—Xayne.The reason was simple. Eric forbade him from attending. After all, the event was an excellent opportunity for the Swifts to connect with various influential figures. They could not afford any mishaps Xayne could caus

Whoosh! The group turned to stare at Royce. The latter was taken aback, quickly showing everyone the photo on his phone. "Look, guys. Doesn't that person look a lot like Xayne?!"The Swift family members stared at the somewhat blurry photo. Surprisingly, the person bore some resemblance, even though it was unclear. Nonetheless, the person’s physique and profile struck a chord with the family.Serena was just as stunned and skeptical.‘Can it be Xayne?'She quickly looked over, seeing Chuck and the others escorting the mysterious VIP into the Whitehorse Manor. Eric, Tim, and the others turned to Serena. One asked, “Where's Xayne now?"Serena stuttered, "H-He's probably at home with Coco.""Call him now!" Eric urged. It would be a tremendous surprise if it turned out to be Xayne. ‘Xayne had Chuck and other prominent figures of Shalholm greet him at the door! We’ll strike gold if it is Xayne.’Serena nervously called Xayne. She found it hard to believe and didn’t know what to d

“Mr. Xayne, this way. No one will recognize you with this mask," Chuck said smilingly.Xayne glanced at him and sighed in resignation. "All right, I'll make an exception for you, but it won't happen again.""Of course, sir." Chuck wiped the sweat from his forehead, then stood aside respectfully. Soon after, Shalholm’s prominent figures engaged in lively conversation with Xayne.A moment later, Chuck said, "Mr. Xayne, the evening party is starting."Xayne nodded and rose. He took a white mask from the side, put it on, and then led the group out of the private room.Whitehorse Manor’s hall bustled with guests. The elite families and representatives of top-tier businesses conversed and networked. When the Swifts entered the main hall, many eyes turned to them, some with discomfort."Aren’t those the Swifts? What are they doing here?""I heard Mr. Chuck invited them. It's hard to say if that’s true.""Is that Serena in the back? Didn’t someone tarnish her reputation five years ago?

"How dare you hit me?!" Serena's eyes reddened.Everyone in the main hall focused on them. They were full of mockery as they enjoyed the shocking scene."Isn't that Serena? Did she just get slapped?""I'm not sure, but it looks like Serena tried to hit on someone important.""No way! Isn't Serena married and has a child?!"The crowd was amused as they gave vulgar comments about Serena. The latter teared up with grievance as everyone accused and insulted her. However, the Swifts felt humiliated as they stood among the crowd."Grandpa, I told you we shouldn't have brought Serena. She’s causing trouble again. She tried to hit on Ghazali Corporation’s CEO. It’ll be over for us if she offends Mr. Abel!" Sophia was concerned for her family.Tim echoed, "She’s right, Dad. Serena is disgraceful for trying to cozy up to a wealthy man when so many people are present. She's already married. She's tarnishing our reputation. We should disown someone so disgraceful."Those words alarmed Tony

Scarlett slapped Serena again, then grabbed her hair. "You bitch! Mr. Abel has confirmed your attempts to seduce him. What else do you have to say? Are you planning to tell everyone he’s setting you up? You’re nothing. Why would he want you?”The crowd nodded in agreement."She's right. It's my first time seeing Mr. Abel, yet I know he wouldn't want Serena.""Yeah! Mr. Abel is accomplished and capable. Serena must’ve tried to curry favors with him. I bet she didn’t expect Mr. Abel to be an upright gentleman and refuse her advances.""Heh, disgusting! That woman shouldn't be at this gathering! Kick her out!"The crowd grew fervent, urging Serena to leave. Serena tearfully tried to defend herself amidst the crowd’s ridicule, "I didn't try to seduce him. I'm not that kind of woman. I'm not..."Smack! Suddenly, someone from the crowd threw a cake at Serena’s face."Hit that bitch!""Yeah, she's tarnishing Shalholm's reputation!"Suddenly, countless individuals began pelting Se
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 435
The man’s voice echoed through the manor. The crowd couldn't help but glance toward the formidable-looking masked man beside Serena. His intimidating aura caused everyone to gasp.“Who is he, and what’s with the disguise?”“Does he want to avoid people recognizing him?” As the crowd discussed in hushed tones, someone stepped forward to support Serena.Scarlett was furious as she glared at the masked man, shouting, "Who are you?! How dare you interfere with my affairs? Do you even know who I am? I'm Mr. Abel's secretary!"Meanwhile, Abel stood behind the arrogant Scarlett.However, the masked figure, Xayne, scoffed, "You’re from the Ghazali Corporation, huh? That’s pretty impressive. How dare you accuse my guest and resort to violence against her at my event?“You've made me very angry! Now, apologize to this young lady, or face the consequences!"Everyone was shocked as they stared at the masked Xayne, who demanded an apology from Scarlett. After all, she was a rising star in
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 436
Xayne slapped Scarlett, sending her face askew.The crowd fell silent, stunned by what they had just witnessed.“Did he just strike her?! That’s like offending Mr. Abel and the Ghazali Corporation!”Scarlett was dumbfounded as she held her swelling and stinging cheek. Her eyes brimmed with fury as she glared at the masked Xayne. In a hysterical fit, she screamed, "You dared to hit me?! Ahhh! I'll kill you!"Scarlett went berserk as she rushed forward, intending to unleash her martial arts skills upon Xayne. However, the latter kicked Scarlett's abdomen with a resounding thud, sending her flying across the room.Once again, everyone gasped in shock. “That man is so strong, and his actions are decisive. Scarlett stood no chance against him!”"Gah, my stomach!" Scarlett writhed on the ground, groaning, "Mr. Abel... he hit me… I'll kill him!"Abel helped Scarlett up from the ground angrily. He glared at the masked Xayne, yelling, "Who are you?! How dare you lay hands on my secreta
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 437
The grand hall fell into a prolonged silence as the atmosphere turned tense. The crowd felt a shiver run down their spine.Meanwhile, sweat dripped from Abel’s forehead. However, his pride as the heir to the Ghazali Corporation led him to dismiss Xayne’s warning. The former retorted, “How dare you question me?”Immediately after, the crowd began questioning the masked man’s identity and why he stepped in for Serena.“Is it as Scarlett said? Is he in an affair with Serena?”The onlookers looked curious."Tsk tsk, it seems Serena is no ordinary woman. She must’ve done more than seduce Mr. Abel.""I agree. Otherwise, why would the masked man help her?""Poor Xayne, he probably has no idea his wife is cheating on him."Whispers and murmurs began to fill the hall. Serena hung her head as her tears glistened. After all, she had suffered an injustice and felt helpless. She glanced at the masked man, wondering who he was and why he stood up for her.Xayne shook his head and asked ba

"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
