Chapter 458 - 455: Battle Might
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s analysis, Huang Bo and the other two members’ expressions changed slightly. Although they had intended to confront the Bloodthirsty Bat Demon King previously, now that they were here, they hesitated because these Bloodthirsty Bats were excessively brutal, and the Bloodthirsty Bat Demon King was certainly not an easy adversary.
"Are you scared now?"
Ye Xuan could naturally discern their hesitation and sneered coldly but did not say much. If the three of them were having second thoughts, it did not matter; regardless of their decision, he was determined to continue the pursuit.
"We’ve already come this far; turning back now would be a mockery. Let’s move on."
Huang Bo shook his head. They had accepted the task and if they returned now without even seeing a shadow of the Bloodthirsty Bats, he would undoubtedly become a laughingstock among the Inner Sect Disciples.
The other two shared a similar mindset with Huang Bo. Inner Sect Disciples generally held strong self-respect; sometimes, their pride was even more important than their lives.
Ye Xuan gave no opinion and immediately dashed forward, disappearing in the northeast direction.
