"You old bastard, I'll take your life!"
Park Jeonghwan cherished his hair above all else. It was his second-best tool for seducing women, second only to his self-proclaimed handsome features.
Now it had been hacked into a bald patch?
How could he tolerate this?!
He punched the Golden-Armored Corpse flying and lunged straight at Ninth Uncle.
Ninth Uncle's brow twitched. He raised his Tang Dao to block.
His feet slid across the sand, rapidly drawing a Pitfall Formation.
*Clang!*
Park Jeonghwan's punch struck the Tang Dao, sending Ninth Uncle staggering backward.
"Hah!"
At that moment, the Golden-Armored Corpse, having been sent flying, swooped in to save its master.
Park Jeonghwan's fury reached its peak.
"This never-ending bullshit!"
He was about to kick out when he suddenly realized his feet were stuck in the sand, unable to move.
"What's going on?"
He looked down to see a roughly two-square-meter area of sand covered in strange lines, glowing with a faint, crimson light.
His legs were slowly sinking into the ground.
*This is just ordinary sand!*
*With ten times the strength of a normal man, how can I not pull my legs out?*
While he was still reeling in shock, the Golden-Armored Corpse attacked.
*Squelch!*
The corpse's ten-inch-long, steel-like claws plunged into Park Jeonghwan's chest.
*Boom!*
The Golden-Armored Corpse landed heavily, but its feet also slowly sank into the Pitfall Formation.
"You! You... demon, demon, demon!"
Park Jeonghwan deflated like a punctured balloon, his strength vanishing instantly. He couldn't even catch his breath to speak.
To his surprise, the Golden-Armored Corpse didn't stop.
"Haa!"
It let out a long, eerie howl and lunged at Park Jeonghwan's neck.
*Crunch...*
*Gurgle, gurgle...*
A gruesome swallowing sound followed.
Park Jeonghwan was utterly helpless, his arms hanging limply and trembling uncontrollably.
His eyes were filled with despair.
Ninth Uncle snorted coldly and approached his apprentice.
Suri was barely breathing, her life flickering like a candle in the wind.
"M-Master..."
"Master has avenged you!"
"Thank you, thank you, Master."
Tears rolled down Suri's cheeks as she spoke. "It's just... just my three-year-old Little Treasure. I... I won't be able to watch him grow up..."
With that, Suri took her last breath.
She knew that as a mere peasant woman, she wouldn't be resurrected by the people of her nation.
Just as Suri had said, her battlefield warehouse was empty, and after her death, nothing dropped.
Ninth Uncle held his apprentice's hand, his face crimson with rage.
He glared murderously at Park Jeonghwan, his eyes blazing with killing intent.
Battlefield Notification: Kimchi Kingdom Guardian Park Jeonghwan has successfully slain Neil Kingdom Guardian Suri.
The battlefield notification floated before the eyes of people in both worlds.
"Heh heh heh..."
A chilling, sinister laugh erupted from Park Jeonghwan's throat.
"I... I can still be revived, but she... she's useless, a failure. She couldn't be revived, *cackle, cackle, cackle*..."
Ninth Uncle's face contorted with rage. With a wave of his hand, the Golden-Armored Corpse obeyed, releasing its prey.
"You still think you can be revived?"
The usually benevolent Ninth Uncle now wore a venomous expression.
The King of Neil Kingdom was furious, unleashing a torrent of curses upon the Kimchi Kingdom.
*Just when we finally had a powerful figure willing to mentor our Guardian, she's dead?*
*What do we do now?*
*Revive Suri?*
*Or choose a new Guardian?*
The same dilemma faced all citizens of the Neil Kingdom.
The majority favored choosing a new Guardian.
All three of Neil Kingdom's Guardians were women, and even Suri's highest talent was only Red.
But Suri, a mere farm woman, had miraculously survived two waves of attacks. To expect her to survive a third was sheer folly.
If they could replace her with a male Guardian, or even better, a soldier from Neil Kingdom, that would be ideal.
This matter was openly discussed in the Neil Kingdom's livestream, sparking heated debate.
*If this were the Dragon Kingdom, the 'boxers' would probably be throwing punches by now...*
Other Dragon Kingdom citizens also found the situation sudden and unexpected.
Especially Li Tai from the National Warfare Department.
His newly established Daoist Magic Online Course had been shut down before it even began!
Then, Ninth Uncle seemed to have an idea.
After private messaging Qin Feng through the national battlefield and obtaining his approval, Ninth Uncle finally felt relieved.
Qin Feng, who was searching for Sakura Country's national gate in the distance, smirked and said playfully, "This Park Jeonghwan is truly despicable, to have made Ninth Uncle so furious."
In fact, Qin Feng had never even met Park Jeonghwan.
It was hard to say whether Park Jeonghwan was lucky or unlucky. First, he ran into Sister Bao'er and got killed. Now he had provoked Ninth Uncle.
Ninth Uncle gently placed his disciple's hand on his chest and looked up to find the camera, but of course, there was none.
So, he simply shouted at the sky, "I, Lin Fengjiao, address all citizens of the Neil Kingdom!"
The sky remained silent, but Ninth Uncle knew that the Neil Kingdom was undoubtedly watching him at that very moment.
"If you vote to revive my disciple, I, Lin Fengjiao, will help you protect the Neil Kingdom's national gate from falling!"
This declaration sent both nations into a frenzy.
"Holy shit, Ninth Uncle is so badass?!"
"Uh... isn't that a bit overconfident? He can barely protect his own country's gate, how can he protect theirs?"
"He can do it! He definitely can! Don't forget, Ninth Uncle has subordinates! If he teaches Suri the Corpse Driving Technique, his subordinates will multiply exponentially. Protecting the Neil Kingdom's gate won't be a pipe dream. We might even send those subordinates to raid the homes of Eagle Country and Sakura Country!"
"Exactly, exactly! Ninth Uncle is so steady and reliable. If he's doing this, he must have a plan."
"Whoa, whoa! Two of the Dragon Kingdom's guardians are actually pulling off this level of swagger. I'm in love, I'm in love."
"Hmph! How dare he! Isn't swagger supposed to be my husband's job? Ninth Uncle is overstepping his bounds!"
"Hold on, hold on! The Dragon Kingdom has three guardians: two are responsible for the swagger, and one is responsible for the cuteness."
"@Above, I think you're subtly insulting my wife! I have evidence! And my wife isn't faking the cuteness—she's genuinely adorable!"
"..."
Seeing the Dragon Kingdom's big shots making such bold threats, all the citizens of the Neil Kingdom enthusiastically chose to revive Suri.
At Ninth Uncle's feet, Suri's corpse dissolved into starlight and vanished.
Suri revived at the Neil Kingdom's gate, and a choice box popped up before her and her two teammates:
**Battlefield Notification**: Dragon Kingdom Guardian Lin Fengjiao is willing to accept your nation as a vassal state. Please choose: Agree, Oppose.
**Note 1**: As a vassal state, your gate will move to the suzerain nation's location.
**Note 2**: As a vassal state, all resources obtained will materialize within the suzerain nation's territory.
The three guardians of the Neil Kingdom stared at the choice, dumbfounded.
If all three voted to approve, their gate would move to the Dragon Kingdom's gate.
In other words, not only their national borders, but they themselves would be protected by the Dragon Kingdom's guardians.
The only price for all this was that all resources they subsequently occupied would belong to the Dragon Kingdom.
