Glorious Purpose

I need to move now!

Sophie's danger sense went haywire as the feeling of death got stronger and stronger. She quickly activated her movement speed technique and teleported several feet backwards.

An enormous pillar of dark purplish-black flame erupted from the ground where she was just seconds before.

"Fuck… fuck… fuck…" Sophie muttered as her body tensed up. This was insane. 

How was the captain so powerful?

This didn't make any sense. 

It was clear from the qi fluctuations radiating off the captain's body that he hadn't reached the void stage.

They were both qi tide cultivators so the gap should not be insurmountable.

And yet… Sophie felt like an ant staring up at an elephant. 

Captain Dawn swung his sword forward and a wave of sword qi erupted from the tip of his blade.

Sophie dropped down and rolled behind a nearby sand dune. The golden wave of sword qi narrowly missed her head by an inch.
