Chapter 607

"Are you crazy?" Tang Yun exclaimed. "Who told you to interfere?"

"I told you I wouldn't let anything happen to you." Ye Chen held Tang Yun tightly, feeling her delicate body tremble, and a pang went through his heart.

Tang Yun struggled, trying to push Ye Chen away, but his grip was too strong; she couldn't break free.

"Let go of me!" Tang Yun cried furiously. "Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused?!"

Ye Chen didn't speak, only holding her tighter.

From a distance, the White Tiger sneered, his long spear a blur, instantly transforming into a streak of white light that shot straight for Ye Chen's back.

Ye Chen spun around abruptly, shielding Tang Yun behind him, and simultaneously threw a punch that collided violently with the white light.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, the white light shattered, and Ye Chen's body stumbled back a few steps, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The White Tiger's pupils contracted, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to be able to take such a direct hit from him, especially with seemingly only minor injuries.

"Interesting," the White Tiger licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty excitement. He flickered, instantly appearing before Ye Chen, his long spear thrusting out once more.

Ye Chen's expression was grim. He knew the White Tiger was powerful, but he would not retreat. Taking a deep breath, he channeled his spiritual energy to its peak and charged forward again.

The two instantly clashed, and terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations swept out, uprooting trees in the vicinity.

Tang Yun watched anxiously from the side, knowing that Ye Chen was fighting the White Tiger to save her. Her heart was filled with guilt, and she was simultaneously worried about Ye Chen's safety. She wanted to help, but she knew she couldn't; instead, she would only become a burden to Ye Chen.

Just then, a dragon's roar echoed from a distance.

Both Ye Chen and the White Tiger paused, turning simultaneously to look into the distance. A colossal Azure Dragon soared into the sky, its body obscuring the sun, radiating a terrifying aura of power.

"Azure Dragon!" The White Tiger's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with terror. He hadn't expected the Azure Dragon to appear here. The Azure Dragon was a divine beast, its power far surpassing his.

The Azure Dragon ignored the White Tiger and charged directly towards Ye Chen. Ye Chen was also stunned; he hadn't expected the Azure Dragon to rush at him.

The Azure Dragon came before Ye Chen, its massive head lowering as it gazed at him with docile eyes. Ye Chen reached out and gently stroked the Azure Dragon's forehead. The Azure Dragon let out a low growl, seemingly enjoying Ye Chen's touch.

Upon seeing this scene, the White Tiger was utterly dumbfounded. He hadn't expected the Azure Dragon to know Ye Chen, and their relationship seemed extraordinary. The Azure Dragon's appearance instantly shattered the White Tiger's will to fight. He knew he was no match for the Azure Dragon, let alone with the Azure Dragon siding with Ye Chen.

The White Tiger dared not linger and turned to flee. The Azure Dragon did not pursue, simply watching silently as the White Tiger escaped.

Ye Chen looked at the Azure Dragon, his eyes filled with confusion. He didn't know why the Azure Dragon had appeared here, nor why it had helped him.

"Thank you," Ye Chen said to the Azure Dragon.

The Azure Dragon let out a roar, as if responding to Ye Chen.

Tang Yun also walked over, looking at the Azure Dragon with eyes full of shock. She hadn't expected divine beasts to truly exist in this world.

"Ye Chen, what's going on?" Tang Yun asked.

Ye Chen shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.

"Let's go," Ye Chen said.

The Azure Dragon circled once in the sky, then vanished into the horizon.

Ye Chen and Tang Yun continued walking forward.
