Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 718
"Alright, let him go," Sylvester waved, not paying much attention, just noting Xayne's appearance."You really know medicine. The old man's condition just now was indeed bad, a sign of a serious illness..." Ariel said, giving Xayne a curious look.Xayne's medical expertise was impressive. He calmly determined that the old man should not drink with just a glance. It takes years of medical expertise to notice that.Xayne shrugged, not offering much of an explanation."Ariel!"At that moment, a gorgeously dressed woman walked toward them, waving at Xayne and Ariel.She was clad in a long black dress, her flowing hair cascading down her back. She had delicate facial features, fair skin, and an infectious charm. She had a good figure, with assets that swayed with every step. It was hard to look away.She was a fully matured woman, and in terms of looks and temperament, she was on par with Ariel."Hannah."Ariel, full of joy, ran over, embracing the woman."It's been ages since I'v
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 719
More than ten people had already taken their seats in the private room. They were all vibrant and attractive young men and women, dressed in unique styles, chatting and joking with each other. They created an atmosphere that seemed harmonious but was mostly just a facade.Many of the guys had their eyes on the girls who had come without male companions, and quite a few of the girls were trying to seduce the well-dressed guys with luxury watches. Overall, the people in the private room were a mix of playboys, wealthy heiresses, and some schemers."Ariel! You finally made it. We've been waiting for you forever," a woman of similar age to Ariel stood up and greeted her, smiling.She was not quite as beautiful as Ariel and Hannah. However, she was dressed flamboyantly and wore heavy makeup. She had on a red crop top, and her legs wrapped in black stockings."This is Britney Wood, a local from Shalholm and my college classmate. She's the planner for this gathering. We haven't seen each
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 720
At that moment, a well-dressed dandy with slicked-back hair and a rather luxurious appearance leisurely stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand. His eyes were filled with a strong sense of predation, openly revealing admiration for Ariel and shooting a lustful gaze toward Hannah.This guy had a refined appearance, the look of a typical heir. Every move he made exuded a cultivated aura. When he looked at Ariel and Hannah, there was a desire in his eyes, but his mouth was curved in a polite smile. He raised his glass, tilted his head slightly, and drank it all at once.Ariel was somewhat stunned, looking at Freddie with confusion. She did not recognize the man."Ariel, don't just sit there like a fool! Mr. Freddie is toasting you. Why don't you hurry up and have a drink? Freddie is one of the Four Scions of the Capital, a young talent who commands attention and respect. He came to Shalholm just to see you!" Britney excitedly pushed Ariel but was secretly jealous of her.After al
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 721
Ariel was taken aback and felt somewhat embarrassed. "I really can't drink..."At this point, Ariel could see through Britney's scheme. She deliberately set this gathering up to match her with Freddie. Unexpectedly, her university classmate was betraying their friendship, trying to win favor with Freddie."I don't care. Tonight, you must drink! Otherwise, we can't be friends!" Britney grumbled, sulking."It's okay. Since Ariel can't drink, we shouldn't force her," Freddie said with a gentle smile."Mr. Freddie, you'd better call me Ms. Ariel. I'm not used to being called Ariel, except by those close to me." Ariel was not a naive girl, and gradually displayed a colder demeanor. She was not going to show him respect unless he earned it. Freddie's face instantly fell and he chuckled awkwardly before sitting down. His eyes swept over to Xayne, sitting next to Ariel, and he suddenly asked, "Ms. Ariel, I wonder what your friend does for a living?"Xayne frowned. He had not expecte
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 722
With a single statement, everyone in the entire private room was stunned."No food at home? Hahaha, you're truly something else! I don't know how Ms. Ariel can be friends with someone like you. You're an embarrassment to men!" Marty chimed in, seizing the opportunity to help Freddie attack Xayne, selling a favor to Freddie in the process."Hahaha! This is hilarious!" The laughter echoed through the room once again."Hey, Marty, you shouldn't say that. Being frugal is a virtue. After all, those who can dine here are not ordinary people. Just being here once is enough for him to brag about for an entire lifetime." The fat guy who ridiculed Xayne earlier teased with a smile.However, Xayne remained indifferent, looking at them as if they were clowns, completely unfazed.Ariel's expression grew darker, and she angrily exclaimed, "Enough! Is this how you treat my friend?""Ariel, don't get mad. We're just looking out for you. How can you be friends with such a useless person? He's n
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 723
Everyone in the room gasped, looking at Xayne with incredulous eyes. 'Is this guy out of his mind? Did he really just ask Freddie to kneel and apologize?!'Freddie's face instantly darkened. It was the first time someone dared to demand him to kneel and apologize. It was extremely disrespectful."Bro, do you have a death wish? How dare you ask Freddie to kneel and apologize? Are you hearing yourself? You're not even qualified to be his lapdog, yet here you are, yapping away. You've overestimated yourself." Marty, who had mocked Xayne earlier, was the first to stand up, slamming the table and roaring at Xayne.Some words Freddie might not be able to say, but Marty could.Xayne smirked, coldly glancing at Marty, and said, "Oh? No wonder I kept hearing barks. It turns out you're Freddie's lapdog."Once again, everyone in the room gasped.Marty's face turned red. He stared angrily at Xayne and roared, "You... You're dead!"He could not believe that a country bumpkin, a mere bodygu
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 724
The crowd erupted.Everyone froze instantly, all wearing looks of disbelief as they stared at Xayne. 'Good gracious! This guy must be insane! He actually dared to insult Freddie and call him a lapdog?!' They all wondered if they had misheard. At the same time, they could not help but smirk and revel in Xayne's audacity. 'This guy is finished! He may not walk out of this room today. He may end up with broken limbs and thrown out onto the street.'Freddie's face contorted with rage, his eyes flashing with a chilling intent as he looked at Xayne. "Xayne, I've tolerated you enough! Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"No one had ever dared to humiliate him like this. Freddie was furious. If it were not for the sake of maintaining his image, he would have punched Xayne in the face long ago."Freddie, Xayne is too arrogant! He is dressed like a pauper, and his mouth is so foul. Doesn't he see where he stands?" Marty, who was retorted by Xayne earlier, stood up again, angril
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 725
"Go to hell!"Freddie aimed his fist at the approaching Xayne, his eyes radiating a murderous intent.This punch looked extremely powerful. It was truly the punch of a kickboxer. The Jenson family was indeed formidable. The onlookers marveled. Freddie wore a sinister smirk, seemingly already envisioning the sight of Xayne's nose bleeding and him kneeling and begging for mercy.However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Xayne remained calm with both hands casually in his pockets. 'Damn! Is he trying to act cool? Doesn't he realize who he's dealing with? Freddie is the reigning three-time champion in the capital's kickboxing competitions.'Britney and Marty sneered, anticipating the unfolding scene. At that moment, Xayne made his move. He raised his fist to meet Freddie's.Freddie's eyes narrowed, a malicious grin on his face. Judging by Xayne's appearance, he looked dissatisfied. 'Does he want to fight me?'At that moment, a resounding noise echoed through the entire

"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
