Chapter 56 - Escaping the Fortress...

General Pov...

As Oscar ran back towards the fortress he saw that there was smoke coming from it, seeing this, he realized that the plan so far had been working.

So Oscar quickly ran at top speed to find out where both his parents were being held, as he arrived at the fortress he saw that all of the prisoners had been freed and were fighting spirit hall soldiers.

As I arrived Ao Ren who had been fighting alongside the other prisoners saw me and shouted, "He's back."

The prisoners and even the spirit hall soldiers had stopped for a moment and looked towards my direction.

General Pov...

At that moment one of the Spirit hall soldier quietly asked his comrade a question, "Hey isn't that the guy who Master Yu long was chasing?"

The Spirit hall soldiers comrade fearfully responded saying, "No... no... I.. I don't think it is."

Oscar landed next to Ma Hongjun who looked towards the prisoners and shouted saying, "Well what are you waiting for!! Their Titled Douluo is gone so let's kill these bastards!!!"

The soldiers who heard Ma Hongjuns cry, thought that their most strongest trump card a titled douluo had been defeated, so they retreated and tried to escape.

But Tang san who had sneaked into the fortress ambushed them using his poison darts allowing the prisoners to slaughter each and every spirit hall soldiers.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun who were then joined by Tang san, continued to walk in the middle of the massacre as blood spilled before them paving their way to where both of Oscar's parents had been held.

Oscar heard his peoples cry as some said, "This is for my loved ones who suffered under your cruelty." While a man shouted, "This is for my wife who committed suicide due to being defiled by you, You bastards!!!"

The man then hacked each spirit hall soldier that came within his sight while sustaining injuries, but the man did not care, as he seemed to become a berserker hungry for the blood of his enemies.

Most Spirit hall soldiers that wanted to live tried to run up to Oscar and beg for mercy but Oscar gave them none as he would mutilate them before they came within 3 meters of his distance.

Both Oscar and Tang san were unfazed by this as they continued to walk towards the confinement cells, but Ma Hongjun who saw this felt a bit sick as he tried to swallow the urge of puking his guts out.

Within ten minutes the three had arrived at the confinement cells which Oscar busted open, he then left two bags located outside the door and walked into the confinement cells and saw two heavily confined cells placed at the corner of the confinement cells.

Oscar who could no longer resist the wait ran up to the cell but was suddenly stopped in his track as he felt an object being thrown his way.

He then looked to his left and saw a shadow walking towards the sword, Tang san quickly threw five poison darts towards that person.

However, his darts were blocked by that person's sword as he swung towards his direction using spirit essence to form a wind blade that slice Tang san in half.

But Tang san did not let that happen as he dodged the wind blade and created by poison vines using his spirit ring to hold the person in place and paralyzing the mysterious swordsmen.

Ma Hongjun who had been watching used spirit ring to create a condensed bullet made of his fire which he shot towards the swordsman.

But before his flame bullet could reach its target the swordsman used his sword to cut the vines and slice the air twice, which in turn created two wind blades that cut through Ma Hongjuns flame bullet.

Oscar quickly ran up towards the swordsman who was wearing armor from head to toe, and threw three daggers in different directions, one dagger behind him, another above him, and the last one in front of him.

The swordsman thought that Oscar had missed and ran up to him seeing as how he was reckless in attacking him without a proper plan.

As the two ran up towards each other everything at that point slowed down as the swordsman's blade almost reached Oscars mask, but at that moment had gathered spirit essence into his right hand and disappeared before the swordsman could cut him in half.

The swordsman realizing that something was wrong as his sword cut through nothing, but what he did not know was that very same person who he was looking for was now above him with a blue orb within his right hand.

Oscar at that moment smiled as he pushed the orb into the swordsman's back, then as the orb came into contact with swordsman's back it spiraled into it and propelled him into the hard concrete.

Meanwhile Oscar smiled and said, "Just die." He then tried to pierce the swordsman back with a dagger hoping to pierce his heart at the same time.

Both Tang san and Ma Hongjun were looking at Oscar with a shocked expression on their faces, as they could not believe what they just saw.

At one moment Oscar was in front of them but then suddenly appeared above the mysterious swordsman and managed to subdue with an azure colored orb that spiraled within his right hand propelled the swordsmen into the hard concrete.

But then as they saw Oscar about to pierce the swordsman's back, suddenly the swordsman who been laying still used his sword to cover his back from Oscar's attack.

Seeing how Oscar was unable to kill the swordsman he immediately pulled him by his neck and threw him out of the confinement cell and into the open field.

Oscar then looked Tang san and signaled him to free his parents while dragging Ma hongjun with him to kill this swordsman.

As they arrived outside Oscar saw the swordsman being attacked by a few of the prisoners outside, the swordsman made quick work of them, as he cut them all down before they could even injure him with their weapons.

Oscar who saw this shouted saying, "GET BACK!!!"

All the prisoners who heard his shout slowly retreated as they saw the swordsman now facing Oscar with his sword in hand and seemed ready to face him.

Seeing this Oscar shouted asking the swordsman, "You know we have already taken over this place and killed all of the soldiers and even the Titled douluo give up now and I will let you live!"

At that moment the swordsman who been silent this entire time spoke shocking everyone around them, but what shocked them was not that the swordsman had just spoken but how he sounded.

"I don't believe that you amateurs killed Master Yu long, I will kill you before he comes back."

Ma Hongjun who heard the swordsman looked at Oscar and asked, "Hey Oscar doesn't that swordsman sound too much like a woman?"

Oscar was silent at first and then replied saying, "So What."

Ma Hongjun wanted to say something but swallowed his words and shook his head, he then saw the swordsman now taking off his helmet confirming that she was a woman.

One undeniable fact was that the female swordsman was an ȧduŀt woman who looked about 20 to 30 years old and was devilishly beautiful, in fact most of the prisoners slightly dropped their weapons as they did not wanted to kill the female swordsman as they looked like they were the villain instead.

Oscar then repeated what he said before, but the female swordsman did not look like she would listen as she prepared herself to fight all of those who stood before her.

Oscar then dropped Ma Hongjun next to the bags that he had placed next to the confinement cells while saying, "You see those bags put each of contents around the fortress and make sure to light it all up."

Oscar then ran towards the female swordsman and shouted, "EVERYONE GET THE HELL OUT!!!"

But he needed to make sure that this female swordsman did not prove to be a hindrance that was why he chose to take her on, as he knew that he could do it faster than anyone here.

However, as both of them fought, Oscar carefully observed her every moves as she finally started using her spirit rings to boost her stats.

In fact, as they fought Oscar noticed that she was getting faster and stronger as well, and as the battle went on Oscar realized that this female swordsman was a rank 74 spirit saint.

Except this woman was more adept in using a sword and applying her spirit ring abilities to her combat abilities.

Oscar was impressed by her swordsmanship as they continued to clash blades for a countless amount of times until Oscar looked around and saw that all of the prisoners had escaped, along with Tang san who looked towards Oscar and nodded, signifying that both his parents were safe.

Oscar smiled and said, "Sorry but we're going to have end here Miss swordsman."

The female swordsman wanted to retort, but was unable to as a loud explosion took her by surprise and allowed Oscar to kick her sword away and pierce her shoulder with his own into the earth.

The female swordsman screamed out in pain as she tried to remove Oscars sword, but Oscar impaled it even further until the hilt of the sword reached her shoulder.

The female swordsman squirmed in place as she used all of her strength to pull the sword out from her shoulder.

Oscar however, then asked, "I want to ask you something?"

The female swordsman did not care as she still tried to pull sword out from her shoulder, but Oscar did not let that happen as he twisted the swords edge.

The female swordsman made a bloodcurdling scream from the pain, however Oscar who was unfazed by this, gazed upon the female swordsman with the same cold expression.

Only then did the female swordsman reply saying, "What?"

Oscar then got to the point as he asked, "How many of these people did you kill?"

The female swordsman smirked and then replied saying, "Hundreds, they defied spirit hall and so they should suffer and die."

Oscar then released his grip on his blade and said, "Thank you for your honesty now I won't feel guilty anymore."

Oscar then took a second weapon from his pocket storage and unsheathed that blade, he then held the hilt with both hands and said, "Die."

The tip of his weapon had now been embedded into the female swordsman's throat killing her instantly.

Oscar calmly took the sword out from the swordsman's shoulder and throat and threw both into his pocket storage.

He then looked around the fortress and saw its surrounding walls burning and left in pieces.

Oscar then went on ahead as he left quickly to catch up with the others, who were hopefully not too far ahead.
