Only after half an hour had passed, in the cold snowy landscape, when both their corpses had thoroughly cooled, did Su Changkong come forward to tend to them. After searching their bodies, he found nothing but a few pieces of silver.
Then, Su Changkong took out a package he was carrying on his back, which contained some flammable plant oil. He poured it over the two corpses and lit them with a fire starter, incinerating their remains to ashes.
"When will the cycle of vengeance ever end? Only in death can it truly be resolved!" Watching the remnants reduced to a pool of ashes by the intense flames, Su Changkong silently sighed.
After tending to the scene, he finished his business and set out to return to Dafeng State City.
"Cough cough cough..."
Along the way, Su Changkong continued to cough a few times. Given his current condition, engaging in combat and traveling long distances was indeed challenging.
"Screech!"
