CHAPTER 565: CHAPTER 345: DEATH OF THE BLACK COCOON

The thunder spear interwoven with deep blue and pitch black violently clashed against the barrier, like the mythical spear of Gungnir!

The blue-black lightning arcs in the air exploded in an instant, igniting along with the veins of Gu Qiye! Illuminating his pitch-black eyes and his angry, ferocious face!

"Boom---!!!"

In almost a blink of an eye, the barrier shattered amidst the thunderous light, the long spear pierced through the chest of the boy in the restraint suit, then penetrated the heart of the Father of Puppets, and finally crushed Ajaya’s head, who was meditating on the ground!

The bodies of all three were pierced simultaneously, hysteria revealing itself in the eyes of the Father of Puppets as he spat a mouthful of blood, hoarsely saying, "Impossible...this is impossible..."

The black lightning ignited the blue lightning, and the thunderous brightness burst forth, tearing and destroying the Father of Puppets along with the two puppet bodies.

The airflow from the explosion swept across like a formidable tide, enveloping Gu Qiye’s body, carrying him uncontrollably back into the air.

At the same time, not far away, the previously blown-away Mu Long had already regained his composure.

Black Cocoon arrived beside him, casually using a restraint belt to pull Mu Long out of the sandpit.

Mu Long lifted his head, staring blankly at the meteor rising into the sky, exploding like fireworks, with thousands of sparks falling straight towards the earth.

In just over ten seconds, the entire island would collapse under the gaze of the meteor beams.

Black Cocoon gazed at the mechanical Buddha, squinting slightly.

"Something’s not right..."

He suddenly placed his hand on Mu Long’s shoulder, leaving a "Thousand Return Hand" mark on him.

"What is this?" Mu Long asked, looking down at the blue diamond mark on his right wrist.

"You’ll know soon," Black Cocoon said, "Stay here and don’t move, not a step."

With those words, Black Cocoon utilized the mark left on Gu Qiye earlier by Urushibara Ryuri, pulling the now half-paralyzed Gu Qiye back from midair.

Black Cocoon used the third ability of the Thousand Return Hand, which functioned to "transfer the holder of one mark to the vicinity of another mark holder."

What he did was naturally to teleport Gu Qiye to Mu Long’s side.

A flash of deep blue light, the diamond mark on Gu Qiye’s wrist radiated an unprecedented brilliance, swallowing his body, and in the next moment, he appeared several hundred meters away, landing at Mu Long’s feet.

Mu Long was momentarily stunned, not expecting Black Cocoon to pull this move.

"Who are you..." Gu Qiye opened his eyes, looking dazedly at the shadow wearing a medieval knight’s helmet, hoarsely speaking.

"Shut up," Mu Long said coldly, not looking at him, "I’m not in the mood for revenge right now."

He fixed his gaze on Black Cocoon’s silhouette, seeing him charging towards the mechanical Buddha, flying like an agile, weightless bird through the misty sand.

That Buddha was heating up rapidly, its originally golden body now completely replaced by a fiery inferno, thousands of cracks spreading from the Buddha’s mouth, with enormous Sanskrit sounds echoing in every direction.

Like a grand proclamation.

"Self...destruct?"

Mu Long squinted his eyes, finally sensing that something was amiss.

"Dad..." Gu Qiye shakily turned his head, blankly staring at the sandpit beneath the mechanical Buddha, where a blood-soaked man lay. Gu Zhuo Case was missing an arm, his body soaked in blood, almost nothing remained intact, metal shards embedded in his face and organs.

"Dad---!" Gu Qiye’s pupils contracted as he shouted.

At that moment, the mechanical Buddha’s body reached an unprecedented peak temperature, like a huge scorching fireball.

And Black Cocoon gathered all the gravity into his restraint belts, swinging through the ruins of the beehive, moving across the sky like a swift, nimble bird.

Then he used a restraint belt to grab the cracking Buddha, leaping upwards, surpassing the Buddha’s red-hot shoulder, landing in the sand before it, kicking up a spray of flying sand.

Black Cocoon breathed a sigh of relief, bending down, quickly touching Gu Zhuo Case, leaving a "Thousand Return Hand" mark on him.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Zhuo Case weakly asked, sprawled in the sandpit, his voice already hoarse.

"I’m here to save you."

"Can’t you see that thing is about to explode..."

"Yeah, that’s why I’m here to save you."

"Leave me, take Qiye, save Qiye!"

"Don’t worry, I’ve already saved him, you’re the last one."

Gu Zhuo Case hesitated for a moment, then relaxed completely, his bloodstained chest rising and falling slowly.

"Then hurry up and leave, don’t disgust me here... Black Cocoon, hurry, go..." he said intermittently, his voice hoarse beyond recognition.

Gu Zhuo Case finally lifted his heavy eyelids, blearily watching the reddening mechanical Buddha, knowing he would die here, but he no longer had regrets.

The one who killed Su Ying is dead. His vengeance fulfilled, all the agony of the past five years vanished in this moment like a river flowing into the sea.
