The strength of these two ghost faces was basically on par with those Qi Tian had encountered before, with no significant difference. The only difference was that this time, two ghost faces attacked together, flanking Qi Tian from both sides, posing a considerable danger to him. If this had happened before, Qi Tian would have been in total disarray, but now, even with the ghost faces close at hand, not a trace of panic could be seen on Qi Tian’s face.

These two ghost faces didn’t care about the changes in Qi Tian’s state of mind over this period. After breaking through the smashed walls, they pounced on Qi Tian at their fastest speed, intending to tear him to shreds and devour his flesh and soul in the shortest time possible.

Qi Tian couldn’t afford to give the two ghost faces any opportunity, nor did he intend to waste any time on them. He chose the most direct and violent method to deal with the two ghost faces.

Under Qi Tian’s command, the Liuli Sand catapulted out several grains of yellow sand, including a few that had reached the Nascent Soul Stage. Moreover, a dozen or so slightly weaker sand grains flanked to the left and right and pounced on the two ghost faces, respectively.

The ghost faces attempted to avoid the attack, moving very quickly and flexibly, but they met their match this time. The speed and flexibility of the yellow sand grains were no less than theirs, and the grains even had the advantage in numbers, leaving no possibility for the ghost faces to escape. Almost instantly, the sand grains caught up with the ghost faces.

In the past, Qi Tian would have commanded the sand grains to launch the most direct attack on the ghost faces and speak of other things only after tearing them apart. However, now, with his strength steadily increasing and especially after the Heavenly Dao Engine underwent another qualitative change, Qi Tian’s mentality also underwent a significant shift. He did not plan to tear the ghost faces apart this time but intended to shock and subjugate them directly.

After the sand grains stuck close to them, the ghost faces realized things were going awry. They tried hard to shake off the sand grains using various attack methods they knew, attempting to inflict damage, but to little effect. On the contrary, they were entangled by the sand grains, their speed significantly affected, and the threat they posed to Qi Tian greatly reduced.

At this moment, commanded by the Liuli Sand, more sand grains rushed in. They were like lions hunting elephants, vying with each other to pounce on the ghost faces, using their own weight to suppress them while continually harassing them with their unique properties.

Despite the small size of these individual sand grains, each of them was formidable – every one could transform into a devastating sandstorm when necessary. At this moment, even though they were just insignificant individuals, each one was surprisingly heavy. The ghost faces, although powerful, had their limits. When they carried one or two sand grains, it might not be obvious how much they were affected. But as the number of sand grains increased several or even more than tenfold, the two ghost faces could no longer bear the weight, and their once-agile speed became laborious. It became extremely difficult to move forward, and the threat they might pose to Qi Tian became a mere joke.

A smile crossed Qi Tian’s lips. The strategy he had roughly outlined was perfectly executed by the Liuli Sand, culminating in total success. He was very satisfied with this. With a wave of his hand, all the Transporting Whirlwinds swarmed out, splitting into two groups and charging at the two ghost faces. They dragged the ghost faces, pulling and hauling them regardless of whether the ghost faces agreed or not or how unwillingly they howled. They forcibly dragged them into the storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine.

The sand grains remained outside, returning to the side of the Liuli Sand.

Qi Tian’s consciousness projected into the storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine, coldly looking at the two ghost faces. In the past, Qi Tian used to tear the ghost faces to shreds, dismantling them before subduing each fragment separately, taking advantage of the fact that each fragment had its own consciousness. Those willing to surrender were given the chance to submit; those who were not, were transformed into fuel for the Heavenly Dao Engine, eliminated without any chance of escape.

This time, Qi Tian planned to change his methods, not tearing the ghost faces apart but attempting to see whether he could subjugate the ghost faces as a whole. If he could manage that, he could save a great deal of effort and ensure the integrity of the ghost faces’ strength to the greatest extent, as opposed to before when subduing a ghost face would cause its strength to fall below the Nascent Soul Stage.

This was a brand-new attempt, something Qi Tian had never done before. If successful, it would undoubtedly have extraordinary significance for him.

Qi Tian chose one of the two ghost faces, which was slightly weaker than the other, thinking that the probability of subduing it might be slightly higher.

These ghost faces were sentient. Qi Tian used his method to attempt communication with the ghost face, directly stating his demands. He asked the ghost face to submit to him; otherwise, he would not be polite to it.
