Soichiro Shikata, for those in the Izumo martial arts world, this name means legends and myths.

He is now the first person in the Izumo martial arts world.

At the same time, he is one of the longest-lived people in the country and possibly the world today.

Because this Soichiro Shikata is said to be one hundred and fifty years old!

As early as a hundred years ago, Soichiro Shikata was already one of the top masters in the Izumo martial arts world, and in terms of ranking, he could at least rank among the top ten in the cloud martial arts world.

And when Izumo invaded the Yan Kingdom, he was also one of the warriors who accompanied the army, and participated in countless battles between the Izumo Martial Arts Realm and the Yan Martial Arts Realm.

Later, when the Izumo martial arts world was defeated because of the Yanguo military god Lin Xuanyuan, Soichiro Shikata was also one of the few top Izumo martial artists who could escape back from Lin Xuanyuan's hands.

For a period of time after the Yan Kingdom fled back, there was no news of Soichiro Shikata, and many people thought he was dead.

But after twenty years, Soichiro Shikata came out of the mountain again, and this time, his strength has improved a lot again, and he also holds the three major town and country weapons in Izumo, and it is also the strongest sword among them, the Seven Stars of the North Fall.

Born this time, Soichiro Quartet was almost invincible, and the Izumo warriors who were more powerful than him back then either died at the hands of Lin Xuanyuan, or they were already old.

And Soichiro Sifang, who holds the sword in his hand and has refined his strength, is on the contrary to a higher peak.

As a result, Soichiro Shikata at that time became the first person in the Izumo martial arts world without any suspense.

However, after proving his strength, Soichiro Shikata retired and chose to live in seclusion at the foot of Fugetsu Mountain, and until today, he has not made a move for decades.

After that, the years changed, and the newcomers in the Izumo martial arts world changed, but the name of Soichiro Shikata was still spread in the Izumo martial arts world.

It's not that no one doubts whether he has passed away, but from those warriors who protect Soichiro Quartet, the outside world can still have a general understanding.

This reclusive senior is not an old man who is already dying and can't draw a knife.

On the contrary, since his retirement, although Soichiro Shikata put down his sword, he did not give up his cultivation, but instead practiced a secret method that no one knew.

This secret method not only allowed Soichiro Shikata to have a lifespan beyond ordinary people, but even his strength did not begin to weaken with aging.

Therefore, although he did not really make a move in front of the world later, many people doubted that the strength of Soichiro Sifang would have surpassed the limits of martial artists and touched the legendary and deepest realm?

That is, in the legend, the realm of the Martial Saint above the Martial Venerable?

The Eightfold Realm Martial Saint, this is the realm that many martial artists dream of, and being able to reach the realm of the Martial Saint means that they have become one of the most powerful hundred people on this planet.

Izumo used to have several martial saints, but unfortunately they all fell in the war a hundred years ago, and if a new martial saint can appear now, it will undoubtedly be a happy thing for the Izumo martial arts world.

The reappearance of the Martial Saint may be the day when the Izumo Warriors will take revenge on the Yanguo Martial Arts Realm again!

At this time, after learning that Soichiro Shikata was preparing to go out of the mountain, out of respect, Sarutosuke and others, who gathered at the foot of Mount Fugetsu today, entered the mountain in person and prepared to welcome Soichiro Shikata down the mountain.

Under the guidance of the guardian warrior, everyone walked all the way, but finally came to a bottomless cave.

The cave is located on the mountainside, but it goes all the way down, straight into the depths of Mt. Fugetsu, as if it is going to the bottom of the mountain.

After walking for about 20 minutes, my eyes suddenly opened up, and in the depths of the cave, it turned out to be a cave.

Inside, there is an open cave that exudes high temperatures, and in the deepest part of the cave, a red light can be seen, reflecting the mountain wall.

Beneath the mountain wall was a pool of rolling magma.

Just on the edge of the lava, everyone finally saw a thin old man sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff.

And he is the legendary Izumo samurai, Soichiro Shikata.

But to the surprise of many people, Soichiro Shikata seems to be a little too old.

At that time, his hair was all gray, his roots were thin, and there were no muscles on his body, only skin and bones remained.

He may have been sitting near the lava for many years, and his skin was still dry and yellow, like an old tree trunk charred under the scorching sun, as if it could break at any moment.

Ghost Eye Kyoshiro was the first time he had seen Soichiro Shikata, and when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but wonder, was it a little late for them to come this time?

With Soichiro Shikata's appearance at the moment, does he still have the strength to face other people's challenges? I'm afraid that let alone pulling out a knife to kill people, I'm afraid he needs someone to serve him even when he walks and eats, right?

It seems that the rumors are not reliable, Soichiro Sifang is already a bad old man who is dying soon, how can he still come out to replace the Cloud Martial Arts Realm and save face for himself.

But it's no wonder that whoever made Soichiro Shikata is already about one hundred and fifty years old after all.

"Sarutosuke, I've seen the seniors of the Quartet!"

At this moment, Sarutosuke took the lead and knelt down towards Soichiro Shikata, respectfully.

Soichiro Quartet opened his cloudy old eyes, looked at Sarutosuke carefully, and nodded lightly: "It's Sarutobi?" How many years have we not seen each other? That monkey back then, has he become a bad old man now? ”

"Quartet seniors, the last time we met was forty years ago, and now I have more than seventy." Sarutosuke replied.

"Forty years? Life flies. Sifang Soichiro smiled hoarsely, and then said: "Okay, I already know about your affairs, before I go down the mountain, you first tell me about the situation of the Yan Country warrior." ”

"Okay, Sifang-sama." Sarutosuke replied respectfully, and then glanced at Oni-Eye Kyoshiro, asking him to repeat the events of the Golden Loft that day.

Soichiro Shikata had actually heard about these things, but listening to others retell them was somewhat different from listening to the parties retelling them.

Oni-Eye Kyoshiro suppressed the suspicions in his heart and began to talk about the events of the day.

Soichiro Shikata listened as he watched his glasses occasionally shine out.

At the end, after the ghost eye Kyoshiro finished speaking, he raised his head slightly: "You say, this Lin Chen looks less than thirty years old?" I can already defeat you, a martial artist who is equal to the Sevenfold Realm, with one move? ”

"At least a sevenfold realm in less than thirty? Such a person was in the martial arts world of Yanguo back then, and it was not very common, right? Is the Yan Kingdom martial arts world so talented now? ”

"I don't really believe that he is really so genius. Or after you cast the secret method, your strength actually doesn't have the strength of the Sevenfold Realm? ”

Hearing that Soichiro Shikata was suspicious of himself, Oni-Eye Kyoshiro couldn't hold back any longer.

He was originally skeptical about the ability of Soichiro Quartet to avenge himself, but now that the other party still looked down on him, he suddenly became angry.

"Enough! Guys, why are we wasting time here? How could he, an old man with half a foot in the coffin, still have the strength to kill the enemy? Instead of putting hope in the hands of this old man, why don't we gather the strength of a few people to kill that Lin Chen?! ”
