Drip.

Blood dripped down from the Great Emperor's face to the ground.

He hadn't thought that he would be defeated by a human without any armor at all.

Everything he believed in, all his faith, was completely shattered at this moment.

All these years, he had spent his wealth and resources in researching the Penalty Armor, all for the sake of becoming an expert standing at the peak of the world as an ordinary person. But now, all of this had been shattered by Xu Taiping's tyrannical fist.

The armour on his head had blocked the fatal blow, and now, he did not have any protection. With just a simple punch from Xu Pingping, he would die. As such, he had lost. Completely lost.

"Actually, you don't need to do this. I noticed that the War Ruins are actually Valenda, a city that disappeared into the flames of war decades ago, a city that has a lot of people dead, and you actually managed to simulate Valenda here, enough to show that you are very familiar with the city, so I guessed that you might be Valenda's person, maybe you have suffered some injuries in Valenda, but that is already decades ago. I didn't have any intention of killing you, I just wanted to get to your side, then probe the creator's information from you, that's all. It was you who forced me to kill you here today. " Xu Taiping said.

"Kill me?" The emperor stared at Xu Taiping and sneered. Then, he suddenly pressed a position on his chest.

The armor on his body crumbled bit by bit, eventually disappearing completely.

The Emperor ripped off the clothes on his body, pointed at his left chest and shouted, "Come, kill me, as long as my heart stops beating, the detonator placed on my chest will be triggered. At that time, the entire weapon system of the Death Fortress will be activated, and the Death Fortress will immediately explode.

Xu Taiping looked at the woman in front of him, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "I only wanted you to die. But now, it seems that you can't die."

"Nobody can kill me here unless I want to die!" The Emperor said with a sinister look on his face.

"Actually, there are many times where death is a good thing …" I said very seriously, you can't die, but... I will make you suffer more than death. Or you can choose to commit suicide and drag me down with you. I'll give you ten seconds. You choose to kill yourself, or live a life worse than death, or tell me everything you know, and I'll let you go. " Xu Taiping took out his phone from his pocket, pressed the timer, and pointed it at the emperor.

The number on the timer kept increasing.

"Do you think I don't dare to commit suicide?!" The Great Emperor roared and pulled out a * * from his waist, aiming at his forehead.

"You have five seconds." Xu Taiping said coldly.

The Great Emperor pointed the gun at his head. His hands were shaking, and it was getting more and more powerful.

"I will die for you to see!" The Emperor roared, trying with all his might to pull the trigger. At the final moment, the Emperor's hand had finally softened.

He didn't have the courage to pull the trigger. He didn't have the courage to end his life.

"Ten seconds." Xu Taiping said.

With a "pa da" sound, the Great Emperor helplessly let go of his hand and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.

"I can't see the determination to die on your face. I can see that you still have lingering feelings for this world, and it seems that you still have goals that you haven't fulfilled yet. So, you aren't willing to die, and you don't want to live a life worse than death, so … "Tell me everything you know about the creator of this world, and I will let you go and leave with my men." Xu Taiping said.

"You will not let me off. Your subordinates have definitely been killed by me. How could you not avenge them?" The Emperor shook his head.

"My men were killed by your men?" Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow, then picked up his phone and made a call.

The phone rang for a moment, then was picked up.

Xu Taiping pressed the hands-free button and said, "What's the situation?"

"All eight of them have been taken care of." Lin Qiuyi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Impossible!" The emperor shouted excitedly, "Even though their battle armor's performance is weaker than mine, if they were to join forces, even I wouldn't be able to do anything to them, how could they be killed by your underlings!"

"They are indeed very strong, but … We are stronger. " Lin Xuehui seemed to hear the Great Emperor's voice and directly answered.

"How about a shot?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I suffered some minor injuries. It's fine." Lin Huai said.

"I'm not hurt." From the other end of the phone came Liu OneHeadShotWithoutExplanation's voice.

"Hahaha, alright, thank you for your hard work. I'll come and find you in a while." Xu Taiping hung up and looked towards the emperor, "If they didn't kill off your subordinates, do you think they would still be able to pick up my phone?"

"How could this happen? That's impossible, that's impossible! My punishment armor is so powerful, how could I lose?" The Emperor shook his head in disbelief.

"Just as I said, your subordinates are very strong, but …" They were stronger. Now, can you tell me everything you know? " Xu Taiping asked.

"What do you want to know? The creator of this world? " the Emperor asked.

"Yes, anything related to the creator, as well as the secret of the northwest mine, I want to know." Xu Taiping said.

"I want to see my men." The Emperor said.

"Sure!" Xu Taiping nodded and left the warehouse with the Emperor. He didn't think that the Emperor would play any tricks at this point in time, because any tricks he used would only bring the Emperor a fate worse than death.

Soon, Xu Taiping and the Emperor returned to the control center.

The control center was in a mess.

The entire control center was severely damaged, and from time to time, flames and smoke would come out.

On the floor of the control center, eight people wearing armors fell. Some of their armors were pierced by sharp blades, while others seemed to have been torn apart by brute force.

From time to time, sparks of electricity would jump out from these armors, but the people wearing the armors did not move at all.

Beside these people, Lin Xuehui and Liu Ming had snatched a chair from somewhere and sat down.

There were several wounds on Lin Qiuyi's face and his clothes were also charred. However, it seemed that the injury was not serious.

Liu Ming looked even more miserable. One of his hands was hanging down powerlessly, as if his bones were broken. Moreover, some of his nose had also collapsed, as if he had been punched in the face.

A group of people surrounded the two of them. They were none other than Popovich's group.

These people were constantly flattering Lin Xuehui and Liu Yidao.

After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes how these two had killed the eight powerhouses in the armor. The scene of the battle could no longer be described with words, and all that had happened could only be described with one word, 'awesome'!

Xu Taiping's appearance caused everyone to be stunned, because Xu Taiping had previously left as Ivan, but now he had returned as an Asian and was accompanied by the Emperor. This made everyone think that the Emperor had killed Ivan and then brought his underlings back.

"It's Xu Taiping!" Popovich pointed at Xu Taiping.

"Xu Taiping?!" The crowd looked at Xu Taiping in surprise when they heard his shout.

Many people had heard of Xu Taiping and had also seen his photos, but there was a difference between real people and photos. In addition, due to the fact that Westerners were blind when they saw people from the East, they didn't immediately recognize Xu Taiping. Now that Popovich had shouted, everyone compared his face to their own faces in the photos and realized that this person was really Xu Taiping!

In an instant, everyone cheered.

It was clear that Ivan was Xu Taiping, and now that Xu Taiping had returned safe and sound, the Emperor's face was filled with disappointment and dejection. Obviously, Xu Taiping had defeated the Emperor.

The Emperor walked up to the eight corpses and looked at them silently.

He hadn't thought that his subordinates would actually be defeated. Moreover, just like him, their armor had also been destroyed.

What kind of terrifying existence was this Xu Taiping? It was fine that he was strong, but the people under him were so terrifying?

Could it be that this world really was a world where the strong were respected? An ordinary person like him, did he really have no chance at all?

"Can you tell me now?" Xu Taiping asked.

"It's done." The Emperor nodded his head and then pointed to Popovich and the others, "However, before that, can we let them leave this place first? I don't want them to see me like this. "

"Arrange for someone to send them away." Xu Taiping said.

The Great Emperor nodded, then arranged for his subordinates to send off Popovich and the others.

"It's too messy here. Come with me to the next room. There, I will tell you everything. " The Emperor walked into a nearby room.

"Let's follow him in first to prevent any scams!" Lin Qiuyi said to Xu Taiping in a low voice.

"Don't worry, his mental state has already collapsed. It's fine." Xu Taiping shook his head, and followed the Emperor into a nearby room.

The room next to the control center was a small office.

To Xu Taiping's surprise, there were no weapons in the office.

From Xu Taiping's point of view, the Emperor's office was full of weapons for a mad man like him, but none of them came out.

In the office, Xu Taiping saw most of the photos. All kinds of pictures.

In those photographs, Xu Taiping saw Valentine.
