Chapter 837
Author: Blanco Burn
The following morning, Xayne received a call from Ariana asking him to come to the company. Last night, Xayne had run over a nail while riding his scooter and had not had a chance to fix it.

Therefore, he had to take a bus at the nearby bus stop. Coincidentally, he saw Laila and greeted her with a smile, “Hey there, Laila.”

She wore a light beige professional dress but looked like she had just come out of a painting. Her black, long hair flowed over her shoulders as her skin gave off a radiant glow. She made Xayne feel refreshed as she stood beside him.

“Oh, hey. Do you live around here, too?” Laila seemed surprised.

Xayne shrugged and said, “Yeah, I just moved in. You look good today.”

He complimented Laila, thinking it would brighten her day. Laila flicked her hair and shyly replied, “Thanks, Xayne.”

The two chatted for a while before the bus arrived. Once on the bus, Laila’s beauty attracted everyone’s attention. However, Xayne felt others glaring at him as he followed closely

    “Um, I can’t. It’s too crowded,” Xayne said.Laila could not think of a way to refute it. When she brushed her hair back, many people noticed her red ears. Xayne simply smiled, making the surrounding hooligans envy him. Still, he was too close to Laila.Suddenly, the bus driver braked, catching Laila off guard. She fell backward and got even closer to Xayne. She blushed as the bus arrived at the stop, but she could not wait to run out.The bus suddenly braked sharply, catching Laila off guard. She leaned back heavily, getting even closer to Xayne.Laila blushed. The bus just arrived at the stop, but she couldn't wait to run out. However, a middle-aged woman rushed out first, accidentally stumbling into Laila. It caused Laila’s feet to twist and fall into Xayne’s arms. Xayne felt her soft body in his arms and smelled her faint fragrance. Laila pressed her hands against Xayne's chest and hurriedly pushed him away to adjust her dress. Immediately after, she ran out, blushing.Xayne

    Bob was arrogant and thought Xayne was as good as dead. The former did not take Xayne seriously at all.Laila could not stand the thugs’ shameless conversation. “Watch what you’re saying, or I’ll call the police!” She clutched her bag tightly, ready to take out her phone.“It looks like the little lady is scared. What are you waiting for, guys?” Bob rubbed his hands together and approached Laila with a lewd expression.Suddenly, Xayne slapped him, causing him to spin in place.“How dare you hit me!” Bob held his swollen cheek while staring at Xayne with gritted teeth.“Didn’t you see me standing beside her? You still tried coming forward. Who else would I hit if not you?” Xayne crossed his arms and sneered at Bob.The initially frightened Laila was surprised and touched by Xayne’s warmth. Xayne thought it was every man’s duty to protect women and that others should not covet beautiful women.Bob lost his temper and pulled out a switchblade from his pocket, glaring at Xayne and s

    Bob screamed miserably. If Xayne had exerted more force, he would have broken Bob’s arm. The latter’s screams echoed as his switchblade fell to the ground with a crisp clang.“Hey, you two. Will you stop, or do you want to watch me break your friend’s arm?” Xayne remarked coldly.The two bald guys glared at Xayne but showed no intention of stopping. They had already decided to continue, but Xayne could still fight. They thought Xayne would only surrender once they caught Laila.Xayne squinted with a hint of coldness reflecting in his eyes. His anger surged as he acted without considering the consequences. He suddenly applied force to Bob’s wrist and broke his entire arm, causing a crack to echo.“Gah! My arm! Ahh!” Bob knelt and howled in agony. The pain in his arm was beyond what he could endure.Simultaneously, Xayne swiftly approached Laila. Bob only felt a gust of wind before seeing Xayne standing before Laila. Xayne had already grasped the two bald guys’ necks at that moment.

    Bob and the bald guy trembled in fear in the dim alley. Their legs wobbled before they collapsed to their knees with a thud, pleading, “Please let us go, bro! We know we messed up!”Xayne pointed at Laila and said sternly, “Apologize to her.”The two thugs exchanged glances and then crawled toward Laila. However, she was frightened and took several steps back.“Miss, we’re sorry for harassing you! Please forgive us!” Bob and his friend admitted their mistake as they knocked their heads on the ground.“L-Leave now and never do this again.” Laila paled with fear as she hid behind Xayne.“Why are you still here?” Xayne asked, looking like he was about to kick them.“Okay, okay, we’re leaving!” The two thugs hastily lifted their unconscious companion from the ground. They ignored the passersby’s curses and fled the life-threatening situation.Xayne glared after the fleeing hooligans, then smiled at Laila, saying, “Okay, it’s over now.”The embarrassed Laila replied, “Thanks for tha

    Riley appeared unhurried as he sighed. “Ariana, your dad and I roamed far and wide back in the day. We endured countless hardships to establish our companies. Ghazali Corporation and Osbo Pharmaceuticals will always be sibling enterprises.“I can’t stand idly by now that your dad’s company is in trouble. You should know the Neels from Drakonix also have their eyes on Venzor’s pharmaceutical market. They plan to establish a pharmaceutical industry park here.“The Neels’ resources and power are unimaginable. They might be even more ruthless than me. However, just like the Neels, I have some connections. How about negotiating a deal with me first, Ariana?“Give Osbo half your profits and research results, then offer the Neels a forty percent share. Then all you have to do is collect money. Isn’t that a win-win situation?”At that point, Osbo would have half of the profits, and the Neels would have forty, leaving the Ghazali Corporation with only ten percent. Ariana’s expression turned

    Riley chuckled as Xayne smirked and asked, “So, how much does Osbo want?”Riley lifted his wine glass, stating, “Fifty percent of the profits.”After a momentary silence, Xayne stood up and said, “That means Ghazali Corporation will only get ten percent. You also want us to hand over the research results. You’re too greedy, Mr. Riley. Can you swallow all that?”Riley frowned as he stared at Xayne. The former felt Xayne’s intimidating aura for the first time, especially from Xayne’s sharp eyes behind his glasses. At that moment, Riley froze as he almost dropped his wine glass.“You shouldn’t be so greedy, Mr. Riley. Otherwise, it might invite unnecessary trouble,” Xayne remarked coldly, “Now, I’ll give you a choice. Either announce Osbo’s bankruptcy yourself, or I’ll do it for you.”Riley’s lips twitched with a strong sense of unease surging within him. He grimaced and slammed his wine glass to the floor, shouting, “You bastard! I’m already being polite!”Xayne shrugged. “I hope y

    The eight bodyguards blocked all entrances and exits, maintaining a vigilant stance. The frightened Ariana hid behind Xayne, tugging at the hem of his clothes.Xayne frowned as he glanced at the eight formidable individuals, knowing each was a Master Warrior.At that moment, Riley smiled at the man beside him. “Mr. Maximilian, I’ll send you as much Lafite as you want once you settle this matter.”Maximilian was stunned for a moment before laughing heartily. “You know how to play the game, you old fox.”Riley smiled slyly and whispered a few words to Maximilian. The latter glared at Xayne and tossed aside his cloak. He then circled Xayne and asked, “Are you Xayne?”Xayne frowned and was about to retort, but Maximilian turned and said, “Cut off one of his arms.”A bodyguard instantly drew a machete from his waist and strode toward Xayne, swinging the machete toward his arm."Ah!" Ariana was horrified, her face turning pale. She could not believe someone would commit such a violent

    Maximilian’s intense unease led him to make a hasty decision. After years of experience in the underground world, he knew his Blue Dragon Society would face a severe crisis if he did not kill Xayne.The bodyguards rushed toward Xayne and unleashed a flurry of attacks. Xayne balled his fist and smashed it into one of the approaching men’s eyes.Bam!The man felt as if a hammer had struck his head. His head buzzed, and his eyes quickly filled with blood. The man’s head tilted, and his whole body stiffened before he collapsed. Simultaneously, Xayne snatched a knife from the fallen man.Swish!A moment later, another guy felt a sharp pain in his arm as he attempted a surprise attack on Xayne. Blood sprayed out of the guy’s arm as he screamed in pain. Blood flowed down his arm, creating a gruesome sight.Another bodyguard rushed forward and punched at Xayne. The latter showed no mercy as he grabbed the bodyguard’s neck and kneed his abdomen.Thud!The bodyguard’s abdomen suffered a

    "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
