Duan Gujin's eyes flickered urgently; he knew he had to make a decision now.

Time waits for no one!

Should he miss this chance to hunt the Fire Demon Spirit King, there might never be another; the enemy might not fall for the same trick again.

And if that were to happen, they would have to engage in a prolonged battle.

He didn't have time for a drawn-out war with the Fire Demon Spirits; he needed a quick, decisive victory. It was all or nothing!

"Everyone, shoot it down!"

With time pressing, Duan Gujin had no luxury to overthink.

He believed that the five of them, as experts, could leverage their speed for a quick and easy victory over the King of the Fire Demon Spirits.

Whiz whiz whiz whiz whiz!

Whiz whiz whiz whiz whiz!

In the next moment, arrows poured down like rain.

Countless long arrows sped towards the Fire Demon Spirit King, their flight tearing through the void and exploding with intense whooshing sounds.

Enraged, the Fire Demon Spirit King didn't dodge but directly confronted the long arrows shot by Duan Gujin and the others with its body.

Numerous loud explosions rang out, deafening and explosive.

Duan Gujin and his companions were unaffected by the blasts; they bent their Long Bows, notched arrows, and released.

Their only goal was to quickly shoot down the King of the Fire Demon Spirits.

Duan Gujin also didn't overthink; he didn't even care about the Fire Absolute Sky Crystal anymore.

He knew it was a Treasure, but right now, his life was on the line; there was no space to worry about some Fire Absolute Sky Crystal.

"The King's terrifying defensive power is due to the Fire Absolute Sky Crystal within its body! We need to break not only the King's defensive power but also the natural defensive power formed by the Fire Absolute Sky Crystal!"

The booming sounds were relentless.

Duan Gujin didn't let the others rest; once they had fired all their long arrows, he provided them with more.

Although the number of long arrows in his storage ring was limited, he had prepared sufficiently beforehand and estimated that there would be enough for their use.

Had the Fire Demon Spirit King not been enraged, and if it had dodged the attacks of Duan Gujin and the others, it could have lasted a very long time.

But the King chose to tank the hits head-on!

This gave Duan Gujin and his team an opportunity to exploit.

Amid the intense explosions, the ground near the King was affected, and dust flew everywhere.

Although Duan Gujin and his comrades were drained of some Physical Strength, the King was also losing strength, and its power was declining more rapidly.

Duan Gujin's side included two warriors above the Eighth Level of Martial Emperor and two elders above the Third Level of Martial Emperor. All four erupting together meant their combined strength far exceeded that of the Fire Demon Spirit King.

Even as some of the Martial Emperor Realm Fire Demon Spirit elites wanted to rescue their King, they were held back by the Xingyu Clan Members.

Gradually, the King's Defensive Power continued to diminish.

Once the long arrows shot by Duan Gujin and the others reached the limit of its defensive power, the King's Body was penetrated by arrows.

After being hit, the King roared angrily and wanted to charge at Duan Gujin and the others. But after ten breaths, it found that its Body began to disobey its control.

The aura it radiated rapidly weakened.

Once its inner Defensive Power fell, it became even less able to resist the attacks from Duan Gujin and the others.

Puff puff puff puff puff!

The next moment, its body was struck by five long arrows.

Duan Gujin and the others, seeing this, were all overjoyed in their hearts.

About twenty breaths later, everyone saw thin ice forming on the body of the Fire Demon Spirit King.

Despite the Fire Demon Spirit King releasing all the flames inside its body, those flames couldn't melt the Hell Ice Flower.

By the time it realized something was wrong within its body, it was already too late.

The crowd did not cease their assault but continued attacking the Fire Demon Spirit King until they saw him turn to ashes; only then did they heave a sigh of relief.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he instructed all the Xingyu Clan Members present to hand over their bows and arrows.

"Everyone, please return your bows and arrows!"

Duan Gujin certainly did not want those bows and arrows to end up back in the hands of the Xingyu Clan Members.

First, he ordered the two elders to hand over their bows and arrows, and Tie Yi, following his earlier command, quickly approached and snatched away their bows and arrows at once.

Out of the corner of his eye, Duan Gujin saw one elder's mouth twitch, suggesting some reluctance; he seemed to be hesitating.

But when the elder saw Tie Yi approaching, and with the Queen's watchful gaze, he no longer dared to keep his Long Bow and long arrows.

The other elder was much more straightforward - upon seeing Tie Yi collecting the Long Bow and long arrows, he immediately returned the remaining long arrows and Long Bow to Tie Yi.

Seeing Tie Yi finally retrieve all the Long Bows and long arrows, Duan Gujin exhaled a murky breath.

He knew in his heart that the hesitant elder from the Xingyu Clan must be harboring other thoughts. Although those thoughts were a matter for the Xingyu Clan, he felt that it was still necessary to inform the Queen.

After the two elders left, Duan Gujin called over the Queen and informed her of his earlier observations.

"There's no need to tell me about him, we were rivals, and he has always had designs on me!" the Queen said.

Duan Gujin inhaled sharply and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, why didn't you mention this before? Don't you realize the consequences would be unimaginable if that elder took action against us!"

"I have placed spies around him, you needn't worry! I will handle his matter! It's an internal issue of the Xingyu Clan! It's normal for an outsider like you not to know! Leave it all to me to deal with!" the Queen said earnestly.

"Alright!" Duan Gujin did not know the exact grievance between the Queen and that elder, but since the Xingyu Clan's Queen had thus spoken, he naturally said nothing more.

He felt that he should trust the Queen's decision.

"Once the situation here stabilizes, if Your Majesty's subordinates haven't found any Human Clan members around here, I will release Tie Yi. Then I will return to the Qiankun Continent with the other members of the Human Clan," Duan Gujin said.

"Alright!" the Queen replied.

Her mind raced; she had many tasks ahead of her.

Duan Gujin was unaware of the elder's hesitation to surrender the Long Bow and long arrows, but she knew very well!

"It seems he really harbors dissatisfaction towards me; I cannot let his discontent affect the reconstruction of the Xingyu Clan!"

The Queen then ordered all Xingyu Clan Members to retreat for the time being; their next task was to monitor every move of the Fire Demon Spirits.

The Queen believed that with the loss of their King, the Fire Demon Spirits would likely retreat.

Indeed, she soon witnessed the Fire Demon Spirits scattering in all directions.

A day later, she observed the Fire Demon Spirits advancing en masse towards the direction of the Hua Hun Clan.

She had the stronger members of the Xingyu Clan track the Fire Demon Spirits, while the weaker Clan Members were instructed to search for members of the Human Clan.
