Chapter 4094: He Did It on Purpose

The guard trembled, just about to tie up the bundle with the head again.

Suddenly, he heard a "buzz," and several Fire Fiend Poison Mosquitoes flew out of the skull.

As soon as they touched his hands, they instantly burst into flames, causing him to scream and drop the bundle, retreating backward.

These Fire Fiend Poison Mosquitoes were truly potent. In mere moments, they completely incinerated a person, leaving only a pile of bones that thumped to the ground.

This sudden turn of events terrified both the Second Imperial Prince and the Third Imperial Prince, making them tremble.

They both cried out in unison, "Protect His Highness! Protect His Highness!"

Numerous guards in the courtyard surged in, surrounding the two princes. Their swords and sabers slashed haphazardly at the few mosquitoes in mid-air.

But the Fire Fiend Poison Mosquitoes flew incredibly fast, and their angles were extremely tricky and terrifying.

Without warning, several guards were bitten.

Immediately, an evil fire erupted from within their bodies, burning outwards. This burning frightened many nearby guards, who quickly retreated.

And in that moment of retreat, a gap appeared in the group of guards protecting the two princes.

Two Fire Fiend Poison Mosquitoes buzzed, flapping their wings and flying towards that opening.

Their speed was unusually fast, reaching the Second Imperial Prince in mere seconds.

Cold sweat dripped from the Second Imperial Prince's head as his eyes intently followed the two mosquitoes, his pupils involuntarily converging on a single point.

When he saw the two Fire Fiend Poison Mosquitoes buzz and flap their wings, rushing towards his face, the Second Imperial Prince, without a word, quickly activated his defensive spiritual artifact and simultaneously yanked a guard in front of himself as a shield.

"Ah! Ahhh!" The guard was bitten by a poison mosquito, and flames immediately erupted from within his body.

The other poison mosquito flew towards the Second Imperial Prince's face but was repelled by the defensive shield he had activated.

The Second Imperial Prince slightly exhaled, secretly pleased.

It seemed these poison mosquitoes temporarily couldn't penetrate his fifteen-level defensive spiritual artifact.

However, once this defensive spiritual artifact was activated, his internal spiritual energy rapidly depleted at an alarming rate.

To avoid dying from spiritual energy exhaustion, the Second Imperial Prince hurriedly grabbed the Third Imperial Prince. The two, escorted by guards, hastily retreated into the inner hall, sealing all the windows and door cracks. Only then did they collapse, weak with exhaustion.

The Third Imperial Prince said with a pale face, "I never... never thought the Fourth Imperial Prince would be so vicious."

Not only did he chop off the assassin's head, but when he sent it back, he also included a few mosquitoes that would inflict burning poison.

If their numbers hadn't been so few, and had it caught them completely off guard, it truly might have caused him and the Second Imperial Prince to perish there.

"It's... it's good," the Third Imperial Prince stammered, "that there weren't many mosquitoes. Otherwise, our... our two brothers would truly have met our end here."

The Second Imperial Prince said with a grim face, "Do you think he wouldn't realize that such a small number of poison mosquitoes wouldn't be enough to kill us?"

"Then, then he..." The Third Imperial Prince looked up at his Second Imperial Brother in astonishment.

"He did it on purpose," the Second Imperial Prince gritted his teeth. "He deliberately troubled us, using this to tell us not to act rashly."

Otherwise, he has countless ways to make our two brothers die silently.

The Third Imperial Prince shuddered.

But then, the Second Imperial Prince's eyes turned ruthless. "Heh! I'll send someone to Jiawei City right now and see how long he can be so arrogant and overbearing."

Duan Si, you're in my way, so you deserve to die!
