Who would have thought that today, a peerless powerhouse like Zhao Rulíng would directly come to blows with the current Heavenly Demon Palace Lord? Defeat would have been one thing, but he had even been hunted down so miserably that Liu An and the other two listened with trembling hearts, deeply regretful.
Had they known he was such a ruthless figure, they certainly would not have rashly come to see Zhao Rulíng. Who knew whether the Heavenly Demon Palace Lord had been watching them in secret, intending to cast a long line and reel in a big fish?
They had originally been perfectly safe, yet they had eagerly run here to see Zhao Rulíng. Had they not now fallen into that man's sights? When the city gate caught fire, even the fish in the moat suffered!

After all, this was the Heavenly Demon Palace, renowned since ancient times and terrifying in its slaughter. Meng Zhao might be legendary, and the blade before them might be legendary as well, but the Heavenly Demon Palace was no ordinary force either.
Zhao Rulíng naturally saw Liu An and the other two trembling with conflicted expressions. He shook his head and said,
