71: Hobart, the super shooter! The use of my son!

The surrounding demon army stopped their attack upon hearing the command, opening up a passage.

A muscular demon, clad in fiery red fur, slowly approached.

The longbow in his hand shimmered with dark light, exuding a heavy presence.

Savage, ferocious, bursting with power.

Just like a primitive hunter from ancient times!

“Hiss...a sniper, huh...”

“If I could draw the Super-boundary specialty, wouldn’t that be awesome...”

Chen Beixuan’s eyes gleamed, his heart burning with excitement.

But Pedro, beside him, instantly constricted his pupils, his face paling in shock!

“Hobart!”

“How could it be him!!”

A person’s name, a tree’s shadow; Hobart’s prestige had always been active on the battlefield.

His ultra-long-range attacks struck fear into people’s hearts; encountering him almost certainly meant death.

Once, a Level 50 Squadron Leader wanted to kill Hobart.

But he died tragically on the spot without even getting close to him.

Not only was his attack high and range far, but he also had a bunch of control skills, making him incredibly versatile!

He admitted that Old Man Chen was very strong.

But encountering Hobart, death was almost a certainty.

In Hobart’s eyes, the two of them weren't even playthings!

They were just live targets!

Hobart, from a distance, had excellent hearing.

Upon hearing Pedro recognize him, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

“You’re quite good to recognize me.”

“Since you know who I am, I advise you two to surrender, lest you suffer physical pain.”

When the demon soldiers were attacking earlier, he had been observing in secret.

He already had a good understanding of the situation.

Among the two, the old man was clearly stronger, and his casting range was also farther than that of an ordinary mage.

Moreover, his attack damage was very high and should not be underestimated.

The position he stood in was very clever, exactly 40 meters away, allowing for both advance and retreat.

Mages move very slowly, so reserving a 40-meter distance was already giving the opponent high regard.

If it weren't for the order from above to capture them alive for interrogation, he could have shot them dead from a hundred meters away!

Pedro’s face turned ugly upon hearing this, and he pulled Chen Beixuan aside to whisper.

“Master Chen, why don’t we pretend to surrender first, then seize the opportunity to escape? I’m a Divine Thief, trust me.”

“Hobart is an ultra-long-range archer, we’ll be at a disadvantage fighting him, Master Chen.”

“Master Chen, why don’t you say something...”

Seeing Old Man Chen remain silent, muttering to himself with his staff in hand, he didn't know what he was mumbling about.

He was starting to break down a bit.

Seeing him unresponsive.

Pedro had no choice but to reluctantly pull out a scroll and clench it in his hand, a look of determination on his face.

“Fine, I’ll go all out this time.”

“This Forbidden Curse scroll is my trump card, it should be enough to stall him for a while.”

“I’ll throw it out in a bit, and then we’ll both run, maybe there’s still...”

He hadn't finished speaking when a hand pressed down on his shoulder.

Chen Beixuan said with a calm expression.

“Put it away. Take care of yourself. I’ll be back soon.”

With that, he turned to look at Hobart, his gaze sharp.

Earlier, he had prayed over a dozen times in his heart, “May my son Chen Fan suffer from kidney deficiency and impotence in exchange for me drawing the Super-boundary specialty!”

Might as well use it if it’s free...

With the previous successful cases, he was now full of confidence!

He extended two fingers, the curve of his mouth slightly rising.

“Two moves, I’ll finish you!”

After speaking, he put away Beixuan Turtle.

His figure moved, rushing towards Hobart, so fast that he almost left afterimages!

Pedro was dumbfounded, unable to stop him even if he wanted to.

“So fast!”

Hobart was startled, but thankfully, he had already maintained a 40-meter distance.

He quickly retreated, simultaneously firing an arrow!

“Rooting Arrow!”

Whoosh—

The obsidian-like arrow trailed a black stream of light, rapidly expanding in Chen Beixuan’s pupils!

His gaze slightly condensed, and his staff glowed with an ink-white light.

“Void Escape!”

The next second.

The arrow shot through the afterimage, and Chen Beixuan disappeared.

Hobart’s pupils constricted, and he immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow, shooting it at his own feet!

“Detection Arrow!”

The arrowhead exploded the moment it hit the ground!

Energy, like a Detection sound wave, scattered in all directions, but found nothing!

“Not invisibility?”

Hobart frowned slightly.

If it wasn't invisibility, then it was a spatial skill.

As long as he kept retreating, he just needed to wait for the opponent to reappear.

His figure moved like the wind, quickly retreating.

A large number of demon soldiers wanted to come forward to help, but they simply couldn't keep up with the two of them.

Three seconds later.

Chen Beixuan’s figure suddenly appeared!

Relying on his super high movement speed bonus, the distance between them gradually closed!

Hobart sneered in his heart, raising his hand and continuously firing three arrows!

“Imprisonment Arrow!”

“You’ve used your life-saving trump card, let’s see how you dodge now!”

Three arrows approached in a triangular formation!

Chen Beixuan’s lips curved into a smile, instantly amused.

“You think too highly of yourself...”

“Protective Flame!”

Whoosh—

The Protective Flame, which had just disappeared, reappeared, and both magic circles emerged simultaneously!

Immediately after.

The three arrows struck the holy magic circle’s light barrier, instantly weakening...

They all slowed down and plunged into the ground!

Hobart: ???

He widened his eyes, shocked in his heart.

This light barrier could block his arrows?

There was actually such a skill!?

If he remembered correctly, this light barrier seemed to be a continuously seamless skill.

Which meant...

His attacks were ineffective against this old man!

“A troublesome fellow...”

“...Do I have to fight hand-to-hand?”

“No, all my skills are ranged, it’s too disadvantageous.”

In just an instant, he abandoned this idea.

Now, there was only one path left for him to choose.

That was to abandon everything here and go back to report.

But he, the dignified Super-boundary Archer, was forced to retreat by a mage.

If he went back, wouldn’t the other demons laugh him to death!

At least kill one before leaving!

Various thoughts flashed through his mind in a split second.

He shot a few more arrows, not believing it, but they were still as ineffective as before.

Seeing this, he began to change direction, wanting to circle back and kill that short assassin.

Chen Beixuan noticed Hobart’s small movement and immediately understood what the other party wanted to do.

Seeing that the distance was about right, he seized the opportunity and whispered.

“Instant Shadow Technique!”

Whoosh—

His figure instantly vanished, appearing the next moment in the shadow of a withered tree trunk twenty meters ahead!

Then, under Hobart’s shocked gaze, he raised his staff!

“Chaos Spear - Light!”

Eleven holy light spears shot out, successively hitting Hobart’s body!

Puff puff puff—

True Damage -30348, -30348, ...

Over 330,000 damage poured down, and Hobart’s health bar instantly disappeared by a large chunk!

“Pfft!”

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face flushed.

His berserk skill automatically activated, but it was still useless.

The immense inertia attached to the spears knocked him to the ground, sending him tumbling far away.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Hobart quickly propped himself up, trying to get to his feet.

But just as he propped up his upper body.

He saw a pair of pure black boots close at hand.

His heart instantly sank...
