The leader watched coldly.
Flender and Zhao Wuji's actions just now had made him wary.
Neither of them was weak. If they truly fought, the situation would likely turn ugly.
Even if they ultimately won, it would probably be a pyrrhic victory.
If the other side could hand over Dai Mubai, everyone would be happy.
He did not want his men to suffer too many losses either.
However, how could Flender and Zhao Wuji possibly back down?
If they simply handed someone over like this, they would never be able to hold their heads up in the Soul Master World again.
"You want to lay a hand on our student? Ask me first if I agree!"
"At worst, we'll fight to the death!"
Flender said coldly. All seven Spirit Rings lit up, and he had even unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar.
Zhao Wuji chuckled, and his seven Spirit Rings lit up as well.
When both men revealed all their Spirit Rings, the leader's eyes flickered.
Two Soul Saints?
This mission had become troublesome!
With his team, if those two truly fought for their lives, they might all end up dead.
The situation was certainly unfavorable for them.
"I didn't expect two Soul Saints to be protecting him. Heh heh~"
"We'll remember what happened today. Until we meet again."
The leader was decisive as well.
Today's mission could not be completed. They could only wait for another opportunity.
Or wait for reinforcements.
With only the cultivation of a newly advanced Soul Emperor, he could not possibly deal with two Soul Saints.
His team members were not particularly strong either.
If they fought desperately, his entire team might be wiped out.
The seventy men left the forest almost instantly, unwilling to continue the fight.
Flender and Zhao Wuji remained on guard for
