Hereford eased past Hythe Town, the lowest ranked team left in the FA Cup, with a brace from Mathieu Manset.
The Bulls took the lead when Richard Rose drilled home from Stuart Fleetwood's pass before Rob Purdy's exquisite chip doubled the advantage.
Gary Mickelborough halved the deficit after latching on to a Kieron Byrne pass but Manset's overhead scissor-kick quickly restored the two-goal cushion.
Manset's header and a Fleetwood tap-in added some gloss to the scoreline.
Hereford United manager Jamie Pitman told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"It could have been 10 if not more if we had taken our chances. Their keeper made a few good saves so credit to him but we missed a good few chances too so it could have been a lot more than it was.
"We conceded a sloppy goal and for five or 10 minutes we got a bit lax in our play which was our own fault. Our midfield players passed well though and I thought Richard Rose was excellent.
"I am going to make this squad competitive - it's a six-match unbeaten run now so credit to the players and thank goodness we have broken the home duck."
