Techniques and Dao

Chapter 163 Escape
Hua Sheng rammed her forehead against the white-robed man's face with all her might.

With a loud bang! He saw stars, and his opponent was in no better shape. The man covered his face, and the dagger fell to the ground.

Hua Sheng kicked the dagger away, and fearing the man would pick it up again, she immediately lunged at him in the opposite direction with the dagger, and they began to wrestle.

The two of them ran amok inside the house, scattering all sorts of furnishings all over the floor!
In the chaos, the wardrobe was knocked over. The wardrobe doors fell open, revealing that it was completely empty inside.

All the clothes belonging to the family of three are gone!
Too many strange things had happened in this wooden house for Hua Sheng to care about anything else. He grabbed the white-robed man by the collar, fighting and roaring, "Why did you arrest us? What kind of bullshit game are you playing?!"

The man in white ignored her and instead flipped over, pinning Hua Sheng to the wooden floor. Without a word, he used his thick hand to choke Hua Sheng's throat.

Unfortunately, the magic failed, and Hua Sheng, unable to breathe, tried to fight back. However, her opponent was clearly considered physically strong even among Europeans.

He tried to push the other person's face, but it did nothing except smear the blood from his hands onto the other person's face.

Just when things were at their most critical, Jane grabbed the thick Star Rainbow Codex and smashed it hard against the back of the white-robed man's head!
After a muffled thud, the law book didn't knock the man unconscious, but it did loosen his grip for half a second.

Seeing the opportunity, Hua Sheng grabbed a fallen brass vase from the ground and smashed it hard against the man's temple!
With a loud crash, the man was knocked to the left.

Hua Sheng immediately took the opportunity to turn over, only to find that the man in white robes had been knocked unconscious on the ground.

At the same time, he also saw Jane's still-shaken face.

Jane stammered nervously, "My...my magic isn't working?"

"Even magical arts are useless now. Magical spells are no longer effective! I don't know what happened, we're just like ordinary people now."

Immediately, Hua Sheng ripped off the white-robed man's hat, revealing an unfamiliar middle-aged European man's face.

Hanamori frantically searched his memory, realizing he hadn't met many foreigners. He was certain he didn't recognize the person, or rather, had never seen them before.

But then Jian exclaimed softly from the side:
"How could it be him!"

Hua Sheng quickly pressed, "Do you recognize this man?"

“I know him!” Jane said, looking at the white-robed man on the ground. “He is Professor Bevis. He is the full professor and head of the White Magic Department at our Klin Magic Academy.”

Hua Sheng was puzzled: "As far as I know, white magic is supposed to be healing magic, and it's said to be cast by priests and the like. Why would he want to kill us?"

He pointed at Jane: "Besides, he wanted to kill you. Aren't you a top student at Klin Magic Academy?"

Jane looked on with disbelief.

"I don't know why either. He taught me white magic in class and was usually very kind."

Hua Sheng stared at the man on the ground.

"Perhaps you can know a person's face but not their heart."

He wasn't familiar with the man named Bivis and didn't have time to pay attention to him; he hurriedly went to look at the figure named Huan.

But when I looked again, the "illusion" that was sitting there had disappeared!

Only Mieying Xiaoqi, with her golden-brown hair tied up, remained on the same chair.

Xiao Qi's head was hanging low; she had already fainted.

Hua Sheng quickly stepped forward, crouched down, and shouted, "Mie Ying! Mie Ying!"

Shadowless did not react.

Hua Sheng gently patted her cheek again: "Are you alright? Wake up..."

"Um……"

Mie Ying groaned as she woke up, and her first words were: "If you dare to slap my face again, believe me, I'll bite off your finger!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Hua Sheng finally felt relieved.

His nose suddenly stung and he immediately hugged Mieying: "Thank goodness you're alive! It's good that you're alright!" Mieying was hugged tightly and remained silent at first, but after a while, Hua Sheng heard Mieying sobbing softly.

Hua Sheng hugged her and asked, "You're usually so clever and mischievous, why were you so foolish as to choose me in this life-or-death situation! Why did you choose me!"

"None of your business! I'll choose whoever I want..."

Mieying sniffed, then opened her mouth and bit Huasheng's shoulder!
Hua Sheng felt a pain in her shoulder, but she didn't struggle.

Mieying bit down for a while, but finally stopped using force. She relaxed her teeth and said softly, "Hurry up and untie this young lady's ropes, or your snot will drip onto your shoulder."

Hua Sheng then remembered that Mie Ying's hands were still tied, and quickly untied the ropes.

Mieying took out a handkerchief and began wiping her nose.

After throwing the rope on the ground, Hanamori relaxed and immediately plopped down on the floor as if her body had fallen apart.

Only then did Mieying notice the injuries on Hua Sheng's hands and thighs, and her words were tinged with heartache.

"How did you get hurt, you idiot?"

"It's nothing, just a little accident." Hua Sheng spread out his palm and looked at it, saying, "What kind of cultivation do you usually do? How come you got so many injuries? You've been slacking off, haven't you?"

"There's been a... minor issue."

Seeing the white-robed man lying unconscious on the ground, Mieying asked, "What just happened?"

"You disappeared just now. A strange figure appeared in this seat and said his name was Huan."

Hua Sheng is still unable to confirm whether that person is related to Mie Ying.

Mie Ying was initially quite surprised, but his expression quickly calmed down.

"Eighth Sister has appeared?"

"You're saying that Eighth Sister is Huan?"

Mieying nodded and said, "Eighth Sister never shows up on ordinary days. Sometimes she won't even appear once every year or two. So sometimes we even forget that she exists."

Why is it called Illusion?

Mieying slowly said, "This name wasn't given by my parents; it was chosen by my eighth sister herself."

"She gave herself that name?"

Mieying nodded and said, "Not only that, but each time she appears, her time will never exceed one Luo Yu's duration, which is equivalent to 144 seconds in modern time..."

Hua Sheng wanted to hear Mie Ying elaborate on the matter of Eighth Sister "Illusion" when Jian suddenly ran forward, removed the noose from Mie Ying's neck, and threw it aside, urging, "We have to hurry! It'll be troublesome if Professor Bivis wakes up!"

Hua Sheng thought it made sense, and they wanted to continue heading south of France, not wanting to cause any more trouble.

He quickly reached for the iron hoop chain on the ground, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the hoop chain flew into his palm.

Looking again at the flame inside the golden hoop pendant, it had regained its former brilliance.

He quickly put the chain around his neck and shouted, "Ruyi Jingu Bang!"

A flash of multicolored golden light appeared, and the golden cudgel flew into Hua Sheng's hand. Hua Sheng caught it with his hand, and although it felt heavy, he swung it effortlessly.

"The magic is back!"

Overjoyed, he swung his golden cudgel and smashed it against the gate. The gate instantly shattered into pieces!
The three of them quickly ran outside the cabin and saw that the red Ferrari was still there. However, the thorny bushes at the end of the path were gone, replaced by a passable mountain road.

Looking ahead along the side road, you can see in the distance that the road merges into a wider rural highway.

Jane exclaimed with delight, "The magic circle that trapped us has been dispelled!"
