Devouring Sword God

Chapter 71 It's You Who Can't Complete the Task
When everyone heard the words, they all nodded in a dazed manner. It was true what Yi Xiaoyao said, if they hadn't stayed to fight with Yi Xiaoyao, they probably wouldn't have had a chance of surviving.

In this way, a trace of gratitude was born in everyone's heart.

At the same time, a deep fear also appeared in their hearts like a shadow. How they treated Yi Xiaoyao before is an unchangeable fact.

Only Ye Ping didn't have such worries. She walked up to Yi Xiaoyao, breathed slightly short of breath, and thanked earnestly: "Yi Xiaoyao, thank you."

"It's nothing." Yi Xiaoyao knelt down and said to her: "Since all the enemies have been dealt with, let's look for the key, and you can go back when you get the key."

Ye Ping nodded her head, "Yes", and then squatted down to search for the keys on the corpse.

Seeing this, Lin Chuang and the others looked at each other and quickly seized the corpse and began to search for it.

The eight of them knew very well that now Yi Xiaoyao and Ye Ping must have the key, and no one can take it away, so only six of them can get the key.

No one wanted to be the two without the key, so the eight people quarreled with each other while fighting for it.

Suddenly, a voice that made their hearts tremble sounded.

"When did I say that you are eligible to get the key?"

Yi Xiaoyao looked over and said coldly when he heard the eight people fighting.

Immediately, the movements of the eight people all stopped, and they stared blankly at Yi Xiaoyao, with fear in their eyes.

"Yi Xiaoyao, you may not be clear, everyone only needs one key to complete the task, and it's useless to have more."

"Yeah, anyway, the few of us are staying to fight with you. It's unreasonable to say that we are not qualified?"

"Stay on the front line in everything, we can be regarded as acquaintances, we can't do it so badly."

The words of the few people revealed cautiousness in every sentence, for fear that they would make Yi Xiaoyao angry if they said too much.

Yi Xiaoyao stood up slowly, and sneered when he heard these soft words.

"You wanted to snatch my key before, why didn't you say to stay on top of everything?"

"You stay and fight, and the benefit you get is to save a life, and I killed all the enemies. If I say you are not qualified, you are not qualified."

"Of course I know that it's useless for one person to take multiple keys, but how to deal with the keys is my business and has nothing to do with you."

Every word Yi Xiaoyao said made Lin Chuang and the others look ugly, but none of the eight of them dared to take the keys anymore.

Seeing this, Ye Ping secretly smiled, not feeling unfair for those eight people at all.

After all, she had also been robbed before, and seeing Yi Xiaoyao's actions made her very happy.

Yi Xiaoyao sneered coldly. Long before Lin Chuang and others threatened that he would not be able to complete the task, Yi Xiaoyao had already made this decision.

Soon, all twenty corpses had been searched, and Ye Ping handed over all the keys she had obtained to Yi Xiaoyao.

Yi Xiaoyao threw one of the keys to Ye Ping and kept the other for himself, then looked at Lin Chuang and the others.

"At the beginning, the eight of you said that I couldn't complete the task, so I want to tell you that it's not me who can't complete the task, but you."

After finishing speaking, the six were instantly destroyed by the sword energy in Yi Xiaoyao's hands.

Seeing this, the eight people immediately turned pale, but none of them dared to speak.

Yi Xiaoyao smiled faintly. In this world, strength represents everything. Whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak.

……

When the group returned to the tavern, it was already light.

When the tavern owner saw Yi Xiaoyao and his daughter Ye Ping returned safely, his face was filled with joy.

From the shopkeeper's point of view, Yi Xiaoyao and the two probably couldn't finish it, and it was already thankful that they could come back safely.

After all, when they set off, the shopkeeper saw the attitude of Lin Chuang and others. Judging from his years of experience, not only Yi Xiaoyao could not get the key, but even his daughter Ye Ping would be implicated.

As Yi Xiaoyao entered the tavern, Lin Chuang and others followed with gloomy expressions.

"Since everyone is here, let's hand in the task." Shopkeeper Ye said.

"Master Ye, I will give up this mission and accept the punishment." Lin Chuang took out his jade token and handed it over to deduct the star penalty.

Shopkeeper Ye was taken aback. Before he could ask his doubts, the seven people behind Lin Chuang also stepped forward to give up the mission and accept punishment.

Seeing Lin Chuang's eight leave in a hurry, shopkeeper Ye frowned and looked at Yi Xiaoyao and Ye Ping.

"You failed this mission?"

Seeing eight people give up the mission in a row, he could only come to this conclusion.

Yi Xiaoyao smiled, handed over the key and said, "The task has been successfully completed, and I'm here to hand in the task."

When shopkeeper Ye saw Yi Xiaoyao took out the key, a strange look appeared on his face, and countless doubts filled his heart.

None of the eight people in the fourth level of foundation building could complete the task, but one boy in the second level of foundation building did. Such a result is really weird.

Before shopkeeper Ye could speak, Yi Xiaoyao suddenly said: "Treasurer Ye, I'm afraid I'm going to disturb you here for a few days, can you arrange a secluded training place for me?"

After the experience of this mission, Yi Xiaoyao had a feeling that if he could take the opportunity to practice, he might be able to improve his cultivation.

"Of course, you can stay in my practice room!" Ye Ping hurriedly replied.

Yi Xiaoyao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Ye."

Ye Ping pursed her pink lips, and said with a slightly red face, "I'll take you there now."

The shopkeeper Ye watched in shock as his daughter pulled Yi Xiaoyao into the inner room and left, and it took him a while to recover.

"What's wrong with Ping'er? Normally, even I wouldn't be allowed in her practice room, but today she took the initiative to let this kid live in his practice room?"

Shopkeeper Ye felt a little worried. He knew his daughter very well. Before, he made Ye Ping agree to protect Yi Xiaoyao on the condition that he refused the Lin family's marriage proposal.

Moreover, shopkeeper Ye knew how reluctant Ye Ping was at that time, and looking at her attitude now, the contrast between them was too great.

"Could it be, what did that kid do to my daughter? Or some kind of ecstasy drug!"

After thinking about it for a while, Shopkeeper Ye felt more and more that something was wrong. He slapped the table and turned to follow.

"Father, what are you going to do in such a hurry? Mr. Yi is currently practicing, don't disturb him in the past."

Ye Ping came out from the inner room, just in time to bump into shopkeeper Ye.

"Daughter, tell me what that kid did to you! Even if he belongs to Elder Lin Jie, I will teach him a lesson for you!"

Shopkeeper Ye asked Ye Ping angrily.

Ye Ping immediately rolled her eyes at her father, and then told all the previous things.

"what!"

Shopkeeper Ye listened to the entire passage, and the unbelievable look on his face could not dissipate for a long time.
