National Awakening: My Left Eye Copies My Right Eye and Sublimates

33: Kill instantly with one sword!Thunder Breathing!

Lightning Flash!

Wrapped in lightning, Xia Qi’s running speed was astonishing; in just one breath, Xia Qi had already appeared a dozen steps below.

There were two Copper Bone Corpse Guards on those steps, and before they could react, Xia Qi had already passed through one of the Copper Bone Corpse Guards’ bodies and stood behind it.

In that instant, the heavy longsword in his hand became as light as a feather, and the power of thunder Adhesion to the sword body, forming a light blue sword edge.

With a gentle swing, a nearly invisible crack appeared on the Copper Bone Corpse Guard’s neck.

The next second, its head separated from its body; even its so-called copper bones were cut clean through like tofu.

[Killed Level 15 Copper Bone Corpse Guard, Experience +5000]

[Obtained Copper Bone X5]

As the prompt sounded, Xia Qi’s breathing grew heavier.

One-shot kill!

The power of Lightning Flash was terrifying.

”This is swordsmanship, this is Sword Heart Clarity?!”

While feeling shocked, Xia Qi also replayed the previous strike in his mind.

In an instant, as he transformed into a flash of lightning, his mind was empty.

His pupils were like needles, striking the Copper Bone Corpse Guard’s neck with pinpoint precision.

Sword Heart Clarity, Effortless Strength!

And then, the Copper Bone Corpse Guard died.

”What a superb A-Rank Talent; its power is comparable to an S-Rank Talent.”

Xia Qi, who had been hesitant about Dual Cultivation in swordsmanship, had now decided that swordsmanship was something he couldn’t abandon.

At this moment, the other Copper Bone Corpse Guard had reacted, raising its cleaver and swinging it fiercely towards Xia Qi.

With a slight sidestep, the longsword easily parried the furious attack.

Awesome!

Without thinking, Xia Qi brought his longsword down in a sweeping motion, followed by an upward diagonal swing of the blade, and the Copper Bone Corpse Guard once again suffered decapitation, its blood-red eyes wide with disbelief.

Why was this person’s sword so fast, so sharp?

With its intelligence, it was probably difficult to comprehend.

[Killed Level 15 Copper Bone Corpse Guard, Experience +5000]

[Obtained Guard Captain’s Blade X1 Leather Armor X1]

”Not bad!”

Xia Qi contentedly put the equipment into his spatial storage; influenced by Sword Heart Clarity, he had now fallen in love with killing enemies using swordsmanship.

He chugged a cup of energy water.

With his internal energy fully replenished, Xia Qi looked at the Copper Bone Corpse Guards a few steps below, transforming into a flash of lightning again and disappearing from his spot.

Slaughter time began.

There was no so-called ’every strike piercing flesh,’ nor any ’flashy sword moves.’

One strike!

All monsters visible to the naked eye were defeated with a single strike.

The triple combination of Thunder Breathing + Lightning Flash + Sword Heart Clarity allowed Xia Qi’s sword skills to reach the pinnacle of perfection.

Insight Weakness, swing the sword and kill the enemy.

All operations were completed in a breath.

As the saying goes, ’kill a man in ten steps, leave no trace a thousand miles away.’

In this winding staircase that stretched as far as the eye could see, if there were an observer, he would undoubtedly be astonished beyond measure.

In the dim light, flashes of lightning streaked by one after another, followed by the thud of heads hitting the ground.

Looking at the entire process, it was as if lightning was running in the darkness.

Ten minutes later, Xia Qi had arrived at the ground level.

All the monsters along the way down were instantly killed with one strike.

When Xia Qi steadied his breathing and stood on the ground, his Experience had already reached 99%.

Just one step away from another Breakthrough.

At this moment, the entire Zombie Mine was empty; no monster roars could be heard.

All had turned into bones, contributing Experience and Materials to Xia Qi.

”It seems I’ve reached the end.”

From entering the dungeon until now, less than two hours had passed, and he had leveled up more than once.

This speed was frightening.

If he continued to clear nightmare difficulty dungeons at this efficiency, let alone Rank 15, even Rank 18 or Rank 20 would not be difficult.

As long as he could maintain his Rank advantage, entering Shengjing University in the college entrance examination more than twenty days later was a certainty.

”By then, I should be able to find clues about my parents at Shengjing University.”

Thinking of his ’missing’ parents, Xia Qi’s goal became even more resolute.

The environment suddenly became quiet, and Xia Qi felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

Fortunately, the final BOSS was not far ahead.

[Silver-skinned Corpse King (Boss)]

[Rank: 16]

[Strength: 300]

[Agility: 150]

[Intelligence: 150]

[Physique: 300]

[Skills: Virulent Corpse Claw, Sweep]

Such high attributes were already exaggerated.

Double 300 in Strength and Physique, and even 150 in Intelligence, indicating that this Corpse King’s intelligence was not low.

The Insight Spell alarmed the Corpse King, and it slowly opened its bloody maw, emitting a strong stench of feces that Xia Qi could smell from afar.

”Did it eat excrement? That’s disgusting.”

Xia Qi frowned, feeling a bit uncomfortable from the overwhelming smell.

Wind Blade!

A Wind Blade immediately appeared, dispersing the unpleasant odor, and Xia Qi felt much better.

This series of actions naturally angered the Corpse King.

You killed my subordinates, that’s one thing, but insulting a zombie is a bit much.

Then, with a roar, the Silver-skinned Corpse King leaped high, swinging its sharp claws down towards Xia Qi’s face.

The Corpse Claw, carrying terrifying pressure, fell directly towards Xia Qi’s face, but Xia Qi did not dodge.

Holding the longsword, his eyes were incredibly calm.

During the leap, the Corpse King would surely expose a weakness, and after activating the [Sword Heart Clarity] Talent, Xia Qi was even more sensitive to enemy weaknesses.

”Now!”

When the terrifying claws were still a few centimeters from Xia Qi, he horizontally blocked the Corpse King’s attack with his longsword.

At the same time, Xia Qi bent backward, following the Silver-skinned Corpse King’s momentum, and with a twist of his sword, struck directly at the Silver-skinned Corpse King’s abdomen.

Lightning Flash!

In an instant, Thunder Breathing activated, and Lightning Flash was unleashed again.

Xia Qi had already arrived behind the Corpse King.

Roar!

The Silver-skinned Corpse King, landing, turned around, and just now, a slight sword mark had appeared on its abdomen.

Xia Qi also noticed this and suddenly frowned.

It was clearly his full-power strike, yet he didn’t expect it to cause such minimal damage to the Silver-skinned Corpse King.

That faint, whitish wound clearly hadn’t even broken through the Silver-skinned Corpse King’s defense.

”How could this be?”

Xia Qi immediately teleported to create distance, preventing a sneak attack.

On the other hand, he was somewhat puzzled.

His attacks against the Copper Bone Corpse Guards were all one-hit kills, but against the Corpse King, it was like a tickle.

Could it be that the power of sword skills was much weaker than Spells?

Thinking this, Xia Qi’s mind moved, and a Frenzy Lightning descended from the sky, landing on the Corpse King’s head.

Facing the Frenzy Lightning, the Corpse King was not surprisingly hit.

Boom!

After the lightning faded, looking at the Corpse King’s body again, a bowl-sized wound had been blasted open on its chest.

So that’s it!

Xia Qi suddenly understood.

The reason Lightning Flash hadn’t caused much damage just now wasn’t because the sword skill was too weak.

It was mainly because his Strength attribute was too weak.

With only 120 points of Strength, and 135 points with equipment, how could he possibly wound the Corpse King?
