Rachel's sword emitted a blinding flash of light that caused the whole room to be illuminated with a harsh glow.
Astrid recoiled in pain and tried to move backwards to get some distance between her and Rachel, but it was to no avail.
Rachel took advantage of Astrid's temporary loss of vision and darted forward to launch a quick thrust towards her back.
Sophie recognised the telling glow of the Holy Sword Art from her numerous spars with her father, so she closed her eyes immediately once she sensed the familiar circulation of qi.
Righteous qi had to be used to form the circulation pattern to unlock the different moves from the Holy Sword Art, so it was inaccessible to those practicing dark or demonic cultivation.
"Urgh..." Astrid gave out a short grunt of pain as the sword connected with her back and caused her to stumble momentarily.
No swordsman would miss this opportunity and Rachel followed up by slashing forward to aim at her neck.
Crack!
