《The Strength of Duality (Newly Edited)》Desperation
Advertisement
With unbelieving and unblinking eyes they stared at the young man who had suddenly transformed from a merely being mysterious and slightly threatening to a being exuding an aura so strong and terrifying that it almost made them give up the will to fight altogether. It made most of them want to run away, but they somehow held on besides taking a few steps backwards.
Yun Tian said coldly as his aura exploded, “I don’t like being toyed with!”
The wolves also bared their fangs bringing more pressure on those around. Although they were only mid stage demonic beasts, mid stage demonic beasts were stronger than dantian building experts of the same realm. At the same time, Bolin and the rest were even stronger than normal mid stage demonic beasts. They would even be able to put up good fights against late dantian building realm experts.
Shen Yun was pulled in closely by Yun Tian just in case a fight broke out, but even then her face was filled with cold killing intent as she looked at the middle aged man. She was already fed up from the last trade with Wu Bai. This just made her even more angry.
The situation didn’t immediately devolve into a fight as the peak stage old man rushed forward and stood between Yun Tian and the man from Spirit Market.
As he was rushing forward he hurriedly exclaimed, “Young friend, please calm down! We can settle this peacefully! Peacefully! Please!”
He felt the strong aura Yun Tian gave off and felt even he would not be a match. He was terrified thinking a slaughter would take place.
Yun Tian coldly said, with his murderousness coagulating around him, “Friend? Yes I did intend to come here and trade peacefully and be Friendly with your town. I was fine when you were suspicious of us on arrival as our group is indeed a little intimidating. I was even fine when you pointed your weapons towards us and tightly surrounded us scaring Shen Yu. I would have even been fine with being on the losing end of the deal for pills by a good amount. But! It seems that you intend on not returning that goodwill.”

Wu Bai heard everything he said and even agreed with him inwardly. They were indeed the ones who treated him poorly. He cursed inwardly, ‘Shit! What should we do now! We enraged this dangerous person for no reason.’
He thought long and hard, but in reality it only took a few seconds before he turned around shouting: “Hand over all your high grade qi gathering pills!”
The man was stunned, why did someone on his side want to rob him now. He didn’t understand why he was turning against him.
Even while terrified he was averse to complying immediately and weakly called out, “Why?”
The old man was having any of it and yelled once more, “Now!” this time pouring out his own aura towards the man as well.
Seeing that he wasn’t able to do anything to get out of this, with two auras, one murderous and the other with heavy desperation, the man meekly reached into his robe and pulled out a bottle with three pills in it.
With that, the old man retracted his pressure and faced Yun Tian once more holding out the bottle saying: “Young hero, please take this as our apology. This is all the high grade qi gathering pills our town has.”
Yun Tian’s killing intent died down slightly as he reached out and took the bottle while sweat rolled down the old man profusely.
After Yun Tian took the bottle, he breathed a sigh of relief, as did everyone around. Their relief was short-lived though.
Yun Tian looked at the still nervous man lying on his back as he propped himself up and said, “I would have indeed taken it as an apology and moved on if you were sincere, but you still aren’t.”
Although he didn’t release his killing intent in full force once more, everyone was still deeply frightened by his words.

The old man was more confused than anything, but as he saw where Yun Tian was looking, he suddenly realized something and turned around to look at the man who was now trying to get up and turn to run.
Faster than the man from Spirit Market could react, the old man leaped forward and grabbed him. He dragged him over and asked coldly with extreme anger evident on his face, “You handed over all your high grade qi gathering pills, right?”
The man’s scared but reluctant eyes met the old man’s eyes staring daggers and hesitantly took out another bottle from within his robe.
Inside were three more pills. The old man became even angrier as he took them and coldly asked, enunciating each word extremely slowly and carefully, “Is that all of them?”
The man hurriedly nodded his head yes.
Seeing the bottle and judging he wasn’t lying, the old man coldly threw him down onto the ground.
Afterwards, he didn’t turn around immediately as he then lifted up his leg and brought it down with great force on the man’s leg causing him to scream out in extreme pain. Then, he slapped the man so hard he lost many teeth and was knocked out.
Seeing all of this, Yun Tian was inwardly complementing the old man.
‘By punishing him, he must be thinking it would lower my anger while also making me not want to harm him instead. In a way what he did could have saved the man’s life if I did intend on killing him.’
He didn't say any of this though and just kept up his cold exterior.
The old man turned and presented the bottle of pills saying: “I am sorry. As you can see, everything was done by this man alone and none of us. I have already punished him and will take further measures in the future to punish him. So, I ask you to not hold this against us.”

In the dark days before the end of the first millennium, Scotland (or Scotia as some called it) was a leaderless hodgepodge of tribes, clans and warring factions all bent on the same thing--domination of the land.

To the south of Scotia lay the realm of the Saxons ruled by Ethelred the Unready and his ruthless minions. To the west, Ireland had just come of age. Everywhere else the constant threat of a lightning swift Viking incursion loomed over the land.Growing up in this lawless world is a displaced Daynin McKinnon, heir to an ancient familial keep on the island of Rhum. He and his grandfather Ean scratch out a living amongst the Saxons, careful never to divulge their clan heritage.
