Behind Inobe Kogoro.
A middle-aged warrior walked out calmly, his steps carrying a touch of chill.
His figure was slender as bamboo, seemingly ready to be blown over by a gust of wind, but the aura around him was terrifying.
On the sunken cheek of his face, a cross-shaped scar diagonally passed through, and under the bright lights of the gymnasium, it glowed with a cold blue-gray light, creating a shivering feeling.
The black sheath hanging from his waist was antiquated, with nine-petal chrysanthemum patterns carved on it, delicate and exquisite.
This chrysanthemum pattern was no ordinary mark; it was a unique emblem bestowed by the Japanese royal family, and this sword was reputed to be the "Shadow Cutter" that drank blood every time it was drawn.
