Fire Sword Bullets were miniature fire sword bullets, but their power wasn't miniscule at all. They pounced straight towards Xu Taiping. In such a short distance, there was no possibility of him dodging at all!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Two explosions rang out, the dazzling firelight illuminated the entire warehouse, causing it to be incomparably bright. The powerful shockwave caused Xu Taiping's entire body to fly backwards, flying all the way to the wall before slamming into it heavily. Only then did he stop.

Xu Taiping's face was covered in ashes, and his hair was standing on end. Most of his clothes had been blown off, especially the human skin mask.

"Bah!" Xu Taiping spat on the ground, then ripped off the mask on his face.

"Even though I said you're Xu Taiping, you still didn't admit it." The Emperor said.

"Who knows, maybe my face is fake too?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Then as long as I tear your face apart, I'll know whether your face is real or not!" As the Emperor spoke, he once again charged towards Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping took a deep breath, the cracked skin on his face was quickly recovering.

The two fire sword bullets were not as powerful as the usual fire sword bullets, but they still managed to break through Xu Taiping's defenses. Luckily, Xu Taiping had the time to recover; otherwise, there would be nothing left to play with!

In the blink of an eye, Xu Taiping's skin had returned to normal, and the Emperor was standing right in front of him.

This time, the emperor punched out towards Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping raised his hands in front of him.

Bang!

A loud sound rang out. Although Xu Taiping's hands had blocked the huge fist of the emperor, the powerful force had caused Xu Taiping's entire body to twist to the side.

"Fuck you!" Xu Taiping roared, throwing a punch right at the emperor.

Dong!

Xu Taiping's fist landed heavily on the Emperor's armor, producing a crisp sound.

"It's useless. The so-called super humans are ultimately just humans. Humans are but a drop in the ocean, and only war machines can exist eternally!" The Emperor roared, throwing a punch upwards towards Xu Taiping's chin.

Bang!

Xu Taiping couldn't dodge in time. His chin was hit, and he was sent flying into the air. His head hit the ceiling heavily, and his entire head was smashed into the ceiling.

The Emperor bent his legs.

Bang!

At the same time, Xu Taiping, who was on the ceiling, slapped his hands on the ceiling, and his head came out from the ceiling. Then, Xu Taiping spun around in the air, his two legs stepped on the ceiling, and then he stomped on the ground!

Bang!

The ceiling caved in, while Xu Taiping shot down towards the emperor like a cannonball.

One flew upwards, the other descended!

The two of them arrived in front of each other in the blink of an eye.

"Die!"

Xu Taiping used all his strength and smashed his right hand towards the emperor.

The Great Emperor similarly raised his right hand, and a stream of fire shot out from his right elbow, giving his right hand an unimaginably terrifying acceleration.

Bang!

The two men's right hands collided with each other. The immense power caused Xu Taiping's body to fly towards the sky once more. At the same time, the same terrifying counterforce caused the Emperor's body to plummet to the ground.

Flames continued to spew out from the projector beneath the Great Emperor's feet. Even so, it was still unable to stop the Great Emperor's descent.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

With two loud sounds, Xu Taiping smashed into the ceiling, creating a deep crater. At the same time, the emperor also smashed into the ground, creating a deep crater.

The height of the entire warehouse was raised by one to two meters!

A crashing sound was heard.

The rubble from the ceiling fell to the ground.

Xu Taiping's body fell from the sky, his legs smoothly landing on the ground.

On the ground, two heatwaves surged out from beneath the Great Emperor's feet. The Great Emperor soared into the air and landed on the ground as well. His metallic battle boots made a metallic clang when they stepped on the ground.

The two of them stood face to face.

Xu Taiping's right hand was completely twisted, and he had suffered some serious injuries. When he looked at the emperor's right hand, the mark of a fist had suddenly appeared on his armor!

That punch just now, the two sides were actually equally matched!

"To be honest, this thing of yours is really amazing!" Xu Taiping said as he straightened his fingers.

"I'll tell you the truth too, you are stronger than I thought. The penalty armor has 80% of its power output, but it still can't deal with you quickly." The Emperor said.

"Eighty percent?" Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow, "You haven't used your full strength yet?"

"Of course." The Emperor proudly said, "I only used 80% of my power. If you use your full power now, then …" I will finish you off within the next minute. "

"Very good!" Xu Taiping smiled, "I used 100%."

"Then you're dead for sure." The Great Emperor sneered and said, "Next, I'll let you experience the terrifying might of a 100% output power!"

Along with the Emperor's voice, an intense and dull engine roar resounded from the Emperor's armor. Many areas of the Emperor's armor lit up.

"100% power output!" The Emperor roared.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Two blue flames burst out from the bottom of the Great Emperor's feet. Following which, the Great Emperor flew towards Xu Taiping at an even faster speed.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The emperor's palms similarly shot out two streams of blue colored flames. Under the support of these two streams of blue colored flames, the emperor's speed increased once again!

At this moment, the Emperor's speed had already risen to a level that humans could not reach!

Xu Taiping stood on the spot, his right hand held tightly as he raised it up high.

A terrifying power gathered in Xu Taiping's right hand.

This time, Xu Taiping did not increase his speed, nor did he wave his right hand. He just lifted his right hand up, and then continued to pour power into his right hand.

The muscles on Xu Taiping's right hand all tensed up, becoming as hard as steel. As more power flowed in, it caused Xu Taiping's blood flow to increase by an unknown amount.

"This is a move I invented after battling the Xiang Family." Xu Taiping looked at the Great Emperor rushing towards him and said, "I originally planned on leaving this punch to Zhao Qingshan, but now, I'll give you his virgin Xiu Xiu!"

With Xu Taiping's words, a terrifying force suddenly condensed onto Xu Taiping's fist, and then this force suddenly shrank, fusing into his fist.

"This punch of mine is called Tyrant Fist!"

Swoosh!

The Emperor had already arrived in front of Xu Taiping, his fists clenched tightly as he punched towards Xu Taiping's face.

At that moment …

Xu Taiping's fist, which had been clenched into a fist, suddenly fell down.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A loud sound echoed out.

Xu Taiping's fist came down from above and landed heavily on the face of the Emperor.

If one slowed Xu Taiping's movements at this moment, one could clearly see that Xu Taiping's fist had struck the armored head of the Emperor, and then, under Xu Taiping's immense strength, the head began to twist and distort. After that, every single part of the head was blown away due to being unable to withstand the fist's immense strength.

This process seemed very long, but in reality, it only took a fraction of a second.

In a fraction of a second, the armor over the Great Emperor's head crumbled, and the Great Emperor's body plummeted to the ground.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A loud sound echoed out.

The Emperor's body heavily crashed into the ground.

The blue flames on both of the Great Emperor's hands disappeared in an instant.

The Great Emperor laid face down on the ground, not moving at all.

Xu Taiping stood on the spot, keeping his fists in place.

His fist was already badly mangled, and that one punch had completely destroyed his right hand.

"As expected, force cannot be used to imitate might. It can only imitate a tiny bit of its own characteristics!" Xu Taiping looked at his own hand, shaking his head helplessly. This punch had been comprehended after his fight with the Xiang Family members, with the Xiang Family's tyrannical might entering his body and his tyrannical body being comprehended, while Xu Taiping had also grasped the omnipotent might of the Xiang Family members, thus naturally, he had been able to simulate it during the battle. However, no matter how powerful Xu Taiping's omnipotent power was, it was still impossible for him to simulate all of Baqi's characteristics.

This was the reason for his punch.

The name of this punch was Tyrant Fist! Xu Taiping's Omnipotent Power imitated the punch that was formed from the tyrant's power. Although it was not as powerful as the tyrant's body, but with Xu Taiping's great power, this punch was still enough to be his ultimate attack.

However, the price paid for this punch was huge. Xu Taiping's right hand had been crippled, and it was no longer as simple as a fracture. All his bones had been shattered by this punch.

Even with Xu Taiping's recovery ability, it would take at least half a day for his fist to return to its original state.

It could be said that if this punch couldn't kill the enemy, then Xu Taiping could basically escape.

However, Xu Taiping was quite satisfied with the power of this punch. It directly destroyed the armor on the emperor's head. This punch's power was probably even greater than the Fire Sword Bullets.

Xu Taiping tore off half of his clothes and wrapped it around his right hand.

At this moment, the Great Emperor's hands pressed against the ground as he shakily stood up.

"Why? Why are you still able to break my armor after using 100% of your strength?" The Emperor's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth were bleeding. He stared at Xu Taiping and asked with a trembling voice.

"As far as machines are concerned, his ultimate output power is 100%, and once it reaches 100%, there's no way to increase it anymore. But as for humans, 100% isn't everything, the human potential is limitless, I can use 100% of my power, and I can also use 120%, 150%, or even 200% of his power. This is the difference between a human and a machine!" Relying on machines, you might be able to become an expert, but you will never be able to stand at the peak of the world. Only by tapping into the human body's potential will you be able to become the strongest person in the world! " Xu Taiping said.
