At this moment, Chen Daotian hastily whispered a reminder, saying, "Close your eyes quickly!"

Xu Huawen and Lin Weifeng knew what was happening and immediately closed their eyes, even turning their heads away. Xu Sisi and Shangguan Linghui were startled for a moment but soon followed suit.

Boom!

The sky was filled with white light.

And it wasn't just the usual white; it was glaring white, extremely dazzling radiant white!

The entire sky was illuminated by that white light.

Brighter than the sun!

This brightness lasted only for a moment!

But it was enough!

"Damn it! What is this thing!"

"My eyes!"

"I can't see anything..."

The eight protectors were instantly blinded and couldn't see anything clearly!

This weapon is the flashbang!

Flashbangs, also known as blinding bombs, dazzling bombs, or disorienting bombs, are a type of lightweight non-lethal weapon that uses strong light to hinder the target's vision. It's a type of grenade and serves as one of the tactical auxiliary tools. After being thrown, the flashbang emits blinding intense light within seconds, causing temporary blindness in targets, rendering them unable to resist.

This weapon doesn't have lethal power but can make people lose their ability to detect and see.

The eight protectors, unaware of this device, suffered a setback instantly.

Scared, they kept retreating.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat quickly!"

The eight of them turned around and retreated.

Even though they couldn't see anything, Heavenly Mechanism Realm experts had a far superior sense of the environment and memory of the path traveled.

They retreated several hundred meters before stopping.

The eight of them looked shocked, still unsure.

"What was that thing the young man released just now?" Ye Zhou covered his eyes and asked.

"It must be a modern weapon! But... I don't understand this type of weapon..."

"These bastards have so many tricks... This weapon is quite terrifying, able to penetrate our Great Demon Shields!"

Ye Yunlai closed his eyes, calling upon Inner Essence to calm his blood, Inner Breath, and emotions, attempting to open his eyes.

At first, he couldn't see anything, but after some adjustments to his aura, his vision gradually returned.

After pondering for a moment.

Ye Yunlai said:

"This should be a blinding type weapon... related to light... stronger than sunlight, it's no wonder it penetrated the Great Demon Shields... Are any of you experiencing other discomforts?"

If it's only blinding.

They weren't too afraid and quickly checked themselves.

A moment passed.

"I can see my surroundings again... no other discomfort."

"This thing is quite strange... it can actually produce such intense light, causing us temporary blindness! Apart from being unable to see at the time, there's no other discomfort."

"It seems like a bluff."

"These people are really cunning, they even have such despicable methods!"

"Haven't you gotten used to it? Along this journey, we've been facing various hidden weapons!"

At this moment.

The hot-tempered Ye Zhou shouted, "Small tricks, let's just charge in directly, I don't care what kind of monsters they are, kill them regardless! This time, under no circumstances should we be scared off! Half a day has passed in the blink of an eye... We, eight Heavenly Mechanism Realm cultivators, can't even conquer Tiandu Mountain guarded by Constant Sand Level; if word gets out, where can we put our dignity? Where can the dignity of the True Phoenix clan be placed?"

"Ye Zhou, calm down first... the opponent has many tricks, but none pose a lethal threat to us, so it's not a big deal. Only that hundreds-level restriction has caused us quite a bit of trouble... Modern weapons don't matter; after all, this Ancient Relic is mysterious, even 8000 years ago, countless cultivators couldn't decipher its secrets, let alone today's people."

"Ziqi's words make sense, it's not the weapon we fear but what other tricks this relic might have!"

Upon hearing this.

Ye Zhou snorted coldly, "I see you're scared... Are we going to give up because of this relic? Are we not going to care about the Holy Daughter?"

"What are you talking about? Of course, we'll care, just have to consider how to do it!"

The crowd nodded, thinking for a moment.

Ye Ziqi said:

"The task must be done, Tiandu Mountain must be leveled... let's be careful. Let's go!"

The eight led the True Phoenix clan members once again to the front of the main hall.

Mighty and imposing.

However, their aura was slightly weaker than before.

Chen Daotian appeared again, shaking that black object in his hand.

Seeing the object, Ye Ziqi frowned slightly.

"Attention... this thing can cause blindness but is not lethal, so don't be afraid... we're going to charge ahead, kill without hesitation, just turn away immediately and close your eyes when he uses that weapon!"

"Understood!"

After discussing, the eight began their advance.

Chen Daotian chuckled and said:

"I truly admire your courage; after suffering defeat once, you still dare to come back! This weapon, I have a trainload of it, and I'll serve you slowly!"

The eight ignored Chen Daotian's words entirely and continued forward.

Chen Daotian warned, "I warn you... one more step forward, and I won't be polite..." Saying so, he gestured to throw the black weapon in his hand.

"Throw it... I want to see what other tricks you can play!" Ye Zhou wanted nothing more than to kill him.

The eight took another step forward.

Just across this square, they'd be close enough to wipe them out in one move.

Ye Zhou clenched his fists, silently calculating the distance in his mind, fifty meters, forty-nine meters, forty-eight meters... inching closer.

They showed no sign of retreat.

A smile played on Chen Daotian's lips, he said:

"You asked for it... take this!"

As he spoke.

He tossed the weapon in his hand into the air again.

"Turn around!"

"Close your eyes!"

The eight protectors now abandoned their Heavenly Mechanism Realm demeanor; they too had to avoid the fierce blinding weapon.

The thing was just too bright, unbearably dazzling!

If it can be avoided, why not?

But this time it wasn't a flashbang—

Bzz!

Bzz bzz!

Bzzzz—

A loud noise reverberated throughout Tiandu Mountain.

Meanwhile.

In the main hall, Ye Wenjun, in a state of enlightenment, remained unaffected.

Lin Weifeng and Xu Huawen stood on either side, surrounding him with Inner Essence energy, blocking all the noise from outside.

The noise continued persistently.

The brothers from the Dark Web were also shaken by this loud noise.

"It's a shockwave grenade! Lie down! Cover your ears! Let the sound transmit along the ground..."

Many in the Dark Web knew the power of the shockwave grenade.

In front of the main hall square.

The eight protectors and their disciples felt dizzy, showing signs of vertigo.

For a moment, they lost track.

"What is this thing!"

"Damn it! Damn it!"

They immediately unleashed powerful Inner Essence to block the sound!

But it was already too late... the shockwave grenade's effect is to cause ear ringing, a continuous buzzing... they didn't understand the shockwave grenade and even thought Inner Essence couldn't block the energy.

"Retreat!"

"Withdraw!"
