Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 682 Sneak Attack

Just as Hobson was worrying about the situation, a spear shot towards him from the side of thewall.

The spear shone brightly. When it flew over, tiny cracks appeared in the air as if its mere presencecaused disturbance in the space. The sheer power of it made him tremble.

"Young man, show your spear, too!"

The old man's voice came from behind Hobson.

Hobson didn't need to be told twice. He pulled out his spear and rushed toward the enemy like aflash of lightning.

The tip of the spears collided with each other, creating terrifying ripples that could be felt wellwithin bodies of flesh and bones. It had such a strong force that the stone palace shook and atornado of dust rose to the sky.

Hobson was face to face with the spear, trying to prevent sustaining fatal damages. Without a word,though, he felt a gust of Holy Will piercing into his body; the impact was so powerful that hisinnards got torn apart, every tissue ripped to shreds. Dark red liquid started oozing from his eyes,ears, nose, and mouth. Blood. He was dying at a rapid rate.

At that moment, he felt another gust, but it was unlike the first. It was a magnificent breath of life,pouring into him from behind like waves from the ocean waters.

Then the air around him came to life; the wind circling beneath him and propelling him a few feetaway from where he previously stood with incredible speed, at a safe distance from the enemy'srange of spear.

Hobson knew that it must be the old man’s work. Only he had the ability to do so. He looked downon his body and noticed that his injuries had already recovered, and there was no pain at all. It wasas if the attack never happened.

"Kill"

Hobson roared, circling in mid-air, his spear slashing sideways.

A brilliant light exploded, blinding their eyes for a fraction of a second. Both spears bent underpressure, and the Holy Will attached to them dispersed.

Hobson was overjoyed at what he saw. He had managed to use ninety percent of the Fringe HolyWill to smash up the real Holy Will!

"With your help, my speed is invincible, sir! Moreover, when I fought with the real Holy Will, theforce of the impact didn't come as fast as you used the Life True Rule to heal me. So, the chances ofme being killed by them are minuscule. As long as I keep attacking, my chance of killing themincreases.”

Hobson's confidence soared. With the help of the old man, he didn't need to worry about the attackfrom the enemy at all. He was invincible. All he needed to do was fight back with all his might.

The bent spear bounced back and fell onto a hand. The spear started emitting the same bright light,and then it was repaired by the Holy Will.

"How dare you fight against me?" Arlo, the leader of the Dragon Chasing Sect, spat and his facedarkened. He was quite annoyed that his Sun Chasing Spear was suppressed by a young man whohadn't even reached the Holy Realm yet.

"Indeed, I am daring. I used to be a disciple of the Dragon Chasing Sect. It's an honor to get thechance to take the head of its leader!" Hobson exclaimed as he pulled out a disciple token andtossed it at him.

When Arlo saw the disciple token, his eyes glowed with cold fury.

Seeing this young man who used to be a disciple of his sect, brandishing a spear toward him in anattempt to end his life, made him furious beyond words. His killing intent reacted to his rage, and itrose to the maximum level.

"Oh, so you are a disciple of the Dragon Chasing Sect. You should have revealed your identityearlier. If so, Arlo wouldn't have attacked you. Come, let's kill the old man together. With yourstrength, you will be the vice leader of the Dragon Chasing Sect in no time. What do you say?"Dexter, the leader of the Golden Sacred Sect, asked while looking at Hobson expectantly.

"Dexter, what are you talking about? That traitor as the vice leader? Rebels like him should be killedas soon as possible. What makes you think you have the right to make offers like this? You bettermind your own business. If you piss me off, I won't hesitate to put an end on you first!" Arlothreatened Dexter through his spiritual sense.

"Bro, you're as irritable as ever. Don't you see that the only advantage that old man has is that boy?If they work together, the boy's strength and the man's Life True Rule and Space True Rule won't beeasy to take down. And if we can't kill the old man soon enough, he might run away again,”

Dexter reasoned, sending his thoughts to the other three people.

"Arlo, Dexter is right. We can lure this kid first and tell him to stand by. We can kill him after we aredone with the old man," Harrison, the leader of the Crimson Sea Sect, also chimed in through hisspiritual sense.

"Humph! Brute force is for fools!" Jordan replied, scoffing.

There was a grim look on Arlo's face. After a moment of silence, he said to Hobson, "According toDexter, you are strong enough to be our vice leader. As long as you swear allegiance to the sect, Iwill forgive you."

It was against his will to say it, but he couldn't deny that Dexter had given him a sound advice.

"Are you serious?" Hobson asked, his stance visibly relaxing.

"I meant every word I said,” Arlo confirmed, his expression serious, although his heart was filled withmurderous intent.

Hobson hesitated for a moment, then he turned and stabbed toward the old man with his spear."You!" The old man's figure dissolved, and then materialized a few feet away, out of the range ofHobson's attack.

He was seething with anger.

"Me? You are just a holy rule cultivator with no fighting power. If I help you, my life will be at risk,and there won't be any benefits. So why should I help you?" Hobson said coldly.

"I was wrong about you. You are a devil!" The old man’s face seemed to have gotten older withrage. "Go to hell!”

Hobson hadn't reached the Holy Realm yet, so the old man could kill Hobson easily even with hiscurrent condition.

The aged palm broke through the limit of the space and appeared in front of Hobson without somuch as a warning.

"Help me, master!” Hobson screamed.

Arlo lifted his spear, ready to attack.

"Stop! Why are you so stupid? Let the old man kill him. Won't that be easier for us?" Dexter said,stopping Arlo.

He felt that Arlo was always so single-minded that he couldn't see through situations and come upwith logical solutions.

"Fuck you! Who do you think you are? Who are you to order me around?" Arlo growled, his temperrising to the boiling point. Sure, he had made plenty of mistakes, but that didn't mean he would justtake other people's criticism calmly like a lamb.

He turned over his spear and it swept across the air, hitting Dexter's torso.

A golden light shone brightly around Dexter, and the spear effortlessly bounced off his body. Arlowas so enraged that he turned into a beam of light and flew towards him. The two fought with eachother fiercely, not hesitating to kill the other.

At the same time, the old man's hand made contact with Hobson's body.

Hobson was blown away by such force that he fell faster than falling meteorites.

But a triumphant smile broke across his face as the old man bombarded him with attacks. Withoutanyone noticing, a huge amount of life vitality was quickly healing his body, and he approached thefour men in perfect condition.

"It's time!” When he was only three feet away from the dwarf, Hobson turned and swung his spearat him with the Fringe Holy Will.

Shocked, Jordan turned, only to realize he had been stabbed in the head. He didn't expect this turnof events, especially since he expected Hobson to drop dead after being hit by the old man's palm.A horrible ripping sound echoed in the air.

"Ah!"

Jordan screamed in agony as he placed his hand on his head, blood dripping through his fingers.Holy Will runes exploded, forming a huge sword and piercing Hobson through the chest.

Hobson was penetrated by the sword, but he didn't care. He withdrew his spear and, in one swiftmotion, stabbed it toward Harrison's chest.

It all happened in an instant, even faster than the blink of an eye.

Moreover, Harrison was distracted, as his attention was completely on the battle between Arlo andDexter. He never thought that someone would attack him while he was watching his allies fight. So,by the time he came to his senses, he had already sustained a fatal injury to the heart.

Bang!

Harrison realized what happened and slammed his hand onto Hobson's body. The impact tornHobson apart into a dozen pieces, showering them with flesh and blood.

However, a green rune immediately surrounded Hobson's body, and in a flash, his body came outunscathed

"Damn it! Kill that man!"

Since Jordan was a rule cultivator in the Holy Realm, he wouldn't die even if his head was stabbed,but his combat strength had significantly declined.

He could hardly contain his fury. He and Harrison rushed forward and pounced on Hobson and theold man, their murderous intent evident in their sharp eyes.
