*Perhaps, for them, this was the best conclusion. Both no longer had to endure suffering.*
*Sometimes, living was far harder than dying. They were holding on to this world for each other's sake.*

"Let's go," Li Fan said as he turned to leave.
"What about the old man's body?" Li Hongyi asked, catching up.
"When a person dies, the light of their lamp extinguishes. Look at Lin'an County; things like this must be happening all the time," Li Fan responded.
"Why is your heart so cold again?" Li Hongyi followed behind him, her tone questioning.
"If we have the time, we should use it to slay a few more demons. At least we'd save a few living souls," Li Fan leapt forward and rushed through Lin'an County.
Li Hongyi followed suit. Under the night sky, sword light and spear gleams flickered across the darkness of Lin'an. Horrified screams of demons echoed periodically as their bodies were savagely sliced open to extract their Demon Cores after they perished.
*Humans were far more 'cruel' than demons.*
