At this very moment, Zhou Yu’s heart was seized with terror.
He felt endless bell tolls echoing from all directions, the shockwaves of the vibrating peals catching him off guard, almost causing his head to explode.
Zhou Yu immediately gathered his composure, forcefully driving his Primordial Spirit, defending his sea of consciousness.
Fortunately, he was well-versed in the Demonic Roar and was familiar with sonic attacks, knowing how to counter this type of assault.
Soon, he steadied his mind.
Another muffled sound of a bell toll came.
In an instant, the entire mine echoed with the ringing once more.
However, this time, because Zhou Yu was prepared, he was not as disheveled as before.
Even so, he still felt darkness before his eyes, and blood seeped from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Zhou Yu was extremely shocked.
He had already used the power of his Primordial Spirit for protection, yet the sound of the bell still managed to harm him.
This was inconceivable.
Compared to the sound of this bronze bell, the sonic assault unleashed by his Demonic Roar seemed inconsequential.
Enduring the impact of the sound waves, Zhou Yu immediately started to assess his surroundings.
Upon inspection, he immediately understood many things.
Firstly, he finally realized why the Tian Character Prison was such a bizarre mine.
The sound of the bronze bell didn’t possess such great power initially, but once the sound waves entered the mine, they were amplified at least threefold by the mine’s winding walls and unique terrain.
Furthermore, he had been curious about the wrinkled walls when he entered.
The wrinkled walls could actually reflect the sound of the bell.
Moreover, the orientation of each ridge was meticulously designed.
These ridges acted like mirrors reflecting light.
They were divided into seven different sized areas.
As the sound of the bronze bell passed through each area, it was continuously reflected by the ridges within, eventually converging into a more formidable sound wave.
In the end, the seven sound waves merged through the unique terrain of the mine into one terrifying sonic surge.
This was the reason Zhou Yu was unable to protect himself, even with the power of his Primordial Spirit.
Of course, this was just what Zhou Yu had noticed from his brief observation. There were still many mysteries within the mine, all designed to enhance the sound of the bronze bell.
It would take some time to fully understand it all.
As Zhou Yu was examining his surroundings, the third bell toll rang out.
Zhou Yu’s complexion turned pale again.
However, the Yi Wood True Qi within his body was also surging wildly, repairing the internal injuries.
But under Zhou Yu’s deliberate control, he kept himself looking pale, blood flowing from all seven orifices.
Seeing the arrogant and domineering Zhou Yu now subdued by the sound of the bronze bell, the faces of Li Zerui, Zhu Hongsheng, and the others were filled with excitement.
"Hahaha, Zhou Yu, how does it feel?"
Zhu Hongsheng also snickered repeatedly.
"Zhou Yu, kneel and beg for mercy right now, otherwise, I’ll personally ring the bell and let you die in agony."
Zhou Yu raised his head to look at them, his eyes filled with icy coldness.
"You’re so curious about how it feels, so later, I’ll let you have a good taste of it."
"Zhou Yu, you’re arrogant!"
"Deputy Director Yao, this kid is still talking tough, keep it up!"
Li Zerui and Zhu Hongsheng urged with malicious faces.
At this moment, Yao Pingsheng was staring at Zhou Yu, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.
The Tian Character Prison of the Haizhou Martial Pavilion’s headquarters had five cells in total, each with its own unique design, made specifically for those vicious and evil criminals.
And the design of this Tian Number Three cell was primarily for the Bronze Soul-Losing Sound.
The Bronze Soul-Losing Sound, emitted by the mystical Bronze Soul-Losing Bell, combined with the special design of the room, could maximize the attack intensity of this melody.
When it was initially designed, a Mid-Holy Realm expert was invited to experience it first-hand.
After just two bell tolls, that Mid-Holy Realm expert had already lost consciousness, at the mercy of others.
This time, the reason Xiang Yinglong made such a show of capturing Zhou Yu, claiming to have evidence that Zhou Yu killed Hou Guangshou,
was actually to use the Soul-Losing Bell to make Zhou Yu lose his senses, and under induced confession, have him admit to killing Hou Guangshou himself.
This plan had been discussed by Xiang Yinglong and Yao Pingsheng for a whole night, weighing their options, thinking it foolproof.
Yet now, after ringing the Soul-Losing Bell three times in succession, Zhou Yu was only bleeding from the seven orifices and still able to retort.
It implied that Zhou Yu had withstood the Soul-Losing Bell.
Yao Pingsheng refused to believe this absurdity.
He struck the Soul-Losing Bell again immediately, this time intentionally increasing the force of his strike.
Visible ripples of shockwaves appeared in the air throughout the cell.
After several layers of convergence, these shockwaves formed one, roaring towards Zhou Yu’s brain.
For a moment, Zhou Yu’s whole body trembled, veins on his forehead bulged, and his brain even experienced a brief void.
Had it not been for the protection of his Saint Realm Primordial Spirit, his sea of consciousness might well have burst.
While Zhou Yu desperately resisted, he was immensely shocked inside.
The attack methods of this prison were simply too astonishing.
He remembered that the headquarters of the Qinzhou Martial Pavilion didn’t have such designs. Had he known this, he wouldn’t have come so willingly.
In this respect, he had miscalculated.
No, now was not the time to think of such things.
He must find a way to resist.
Otherwise, even with the guard of the Saint Realm Primordial Spirit, he would not hold up.
Enduring the pain, Zhou Yu’s brain worked at high speed.
Melody... sound waves... Demonic Roar...
"As the saying ’fight poison with poison’ goes, why not see if the Demonic Roar has any effect..."
With that thought, Zhou Yu made a snap decision, his hands clasping his head as he faced the convergence of the seven sound waves, opened his mouth, and unleashed the Demonic Roar...
