One could say that Huo Qing was just too cautious.
To An Jing and You Ruhui, these strengths when combined could wreak havoc within a True Demon Sect stronghold, killing enemies back and forth, even suppressing the power of Earth Veins by force. Against a small mixed squad of Ash Crows and Fire Crows, which didn't even have Qi Refinement stage Demon Spirits among them, slaughtering them was like butchering pigs and dogs!
The sound of gunfire rang out, and Ash Crows fell to the ground one after another.
Only the Fire Crows could rely on their fire-like bodies to reduce the damage from the bullets and survive, but the Ice Attribute bullets of the Icefall Long Spear happened to be their bane, making each of them sluggish in movement.
