I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

As night fell, Black Wind Valley fell silent.

The thick fog completely obscured the stars and moon in the sky, and a chilly dampness permeated the air.

Inside the dilapidated wooden house, Su Tie and his family huddled in a corner, barely daring to breathe.

Su Yu sat alone in front of the two wooden boxes, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing calm and long, as if he had truly resigned himself to his fate.

"Bang!"

The tightly closed wooden door was kicked open violently, sending splinters flying.

The one-eyed, bald, burly man, accompanied by three trusted cultivators, strode into the house.

As they entered, an extremely strong, pungent smell of blood instantly filled the entire small space.

"Senior, is there anything you need for my visit so late at night?"

Su Yu opened his eyes, quickly stood up, his body slightly hunched, and his tone revealed a hint of fear.

Stop pretending.

The bald, burly man sneered, and a chilling dark red light emanated from his single remaining eye.

"Although I don't understand spirit fields, I do know that with your bunch of ugly and deformed people, you can't possibly cultivate those few acres of wasteland. Do you really think I'm a saint?"

His gaze swept over the trembling women and children in the corner, and he licked his lips.

"My cultivation technique has recently reached a bottleneck, and I need a few high-quality blood foods. Since you've delivered them to my door, it saves me the trouble of going out to capture mortals."

Before he finished speaking, the aura emanating from the bald, burly man, which had been disguised as that of a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, suddenly erupted like a volcano.

The dense aura of bloodlust transformed into a tangible red mist, enveloping the entire wooden house.

Eighth level of Qi Refining! A demonic cultivator!

Feeling the suffocating pressure of spiritual energy, Su Tie and the others turned ashen-faced.

They initially thought the other party was just an ordinary robber, but they never expected that he was a high-level demonic cultivator who had hidden here to escape the sect's pursuit.

In the face of a demonic cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, these collateral relatives at the early stage of Qi Refining didn't even have the right to run away.

"Drain the men, leave the women alive."

The bald, burly man waved his hand impatiently, and his three henchmen grinned as they drew their magical weapons, ready to seize the man.

Su Yu neither retreated nor begged for mercy.

He simply looked calmly at the bald, burly man, his toes barely touching the edge of the wooden crate behind him.

"Click."

A very faint, crisp sound rang out, barely noticeable in the room filled with the aura of bloodlust.

But in that very instant...

The two wooden chests filled with gold and silver exploded with a loud bang, scattering the yellow and white contents in all directions.

The broken array plate hidden at the bottom of the box suddenly emitted a dazzling dark golden light.

Although the second-tier Gengjin Remnant Array had lost its killing power due to its damage, it was forcibly activated by Su Yu at this moment, instantly releasing an extremely domineering metal-type spiritual energy lock.

Within a radius of three zhang, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was forcibly frozen, turning into a swamp.

Just as the bald, burly man was about to activate the Blood Fiend Technique, the chaotic demonic cultivation essence within his body suddenly stagnated, and a sharp pain of backlash from the magical power surged through his meridians.

"A formation plate?! You dare to scheme against me!"

The bald, burly man was filled with shock and anger. Although his magical power was stagnant for half a breath, he was still at the eighth level of Qi Refining and could forcefully break free from the constraints of the broken formation with just one breath.

However, all Su Yu wanted was this half-breath.

The moment that dark golden light shone, Su Yu's hunched and cowardly facade vanished instantly.

Instead, there is an unparalleled sharpness forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Clang!"

The Qingfeng sword was drawn.

Su Yu did not use any complicated cultivation techniques to compete with his opponent in terms of true essence.

The spiritual power at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining was entirely contained within the limbs and bones, and through the meridian circulation route of the martial art "Heavenly Dragon True Qi", it underwent an extremely dangerous extreme compression within the body.

His figure didn't even leave an afterimage before he had already covered the distance of less than a zhang between the two of them.

fast.

It's almost reached the extreme of defying the common sense of spellcasting in the cultivation world.

The bald, burly man's pupils constricted sharply. Just as he was about to raise his blood energy shield, a cold sword light slashed into his protective blood energy from an extremely tricky blind spot.

There was no roar of colliding magic, only the soft sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh.

"Pfft."

A bald head shot into the sky, its blood splattering onto the broken wooden planks.

In the bald, burly man's single eye, there remained an incredulous astonishment and a fear of that stunning sword strike.

It wasn't until the corpse fell heavily to the ground that the three cultivators who had just pulled out their magical artifacts finally reacted.

They stared blankly at the headless corpse on the ground, their minds completely blank.

The leader, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, was cleaved in two by a single sword strike before he could even cast a spell.

Clang.

The long sword in the hands of one of the robbers fell to the ground.

The three men collapsed like mud, their bodies trembling like leaves.

Su Yu ignored them, flicked his wrist, and the blood droplets on the blade slid down the spine of the sword and dripped onto the floor.

He slowly sheathed his sword, his gaze sweeping over the three cultivators, his tone indifferent.

"Go and call the rest of the people outside. Anyone who wants revenge can come along."

The three men, as if granted a pardon, scrambled out of the wooden house.

Inside the room, Su Tie and the others finally let out a long sigh of relief, only to find that their backs were already soaked with cold sweat.

A single, decisive blow.

Without any hesitation or delay, and without giving the other side any chance to retaliate.

Looking at the corpse of the demonic cultivator, Su Tie's awe of Su Yu had reached its peak.

A moment later, the remaining dozen or so Tribulation cultivators in the valley were all summoned to the front of the wooden house.

When they saw the leader's headless corpse, all thoughts of resistance were instantly extinguished.

At the bottom of the cultivation world, the strong are respected.

"Clean up the body and wipe away the bloodstains on the ground."

Su Yu stepped out of the wooden house and stood on the steps, looking down at the trembling cultivators below. His voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

"From today onwards, the rules of Blackwind Valley have changed."

"If you stay here, you'll no longer be a traitor, but a long-term laborer under my command. I won't stop anyone who wants to leave, but if they step even half a step out of this valley, there's no need to keep your tools for eating."

The dozen or so cultivators dared not disobey in the slightest, and all knelt down on the ground, responding in unison.

After acquiring this workforce without bloodshed, Su Yu waved for them to get back to work.

He turned his head and looked at the spring that was half-dried up.

The second-order spirit gathering array diagram copied from the Qingmu Su family finally found a use.

As long as the formation is properly set up to lock in the meager spiritual energy of the spiritual vein and prevent it from leaking outwards, it can be disguised as an ordinary mortal mountain villa.

This place will become the starting point for him to establish himself.
