Staking one's life, truly a madness-filled challenge.

Qin Fang indeed knew of this rule, yet never expected someone would actually use such an approach for a high-stakes gamble.

"You need to think this through! You are no match for me..."

Qin Fang let out a light sigh, then spoke with a somber tone.

Ye Ming was about the same age as Qin Fang, in the prime of youth. Although they were not at the flower-like age of adolescence, the difference was negligible.

Yet he insisted on choosing such a method to engage in this insane bet.

Once he actually lost, his entire life could be completely ruined.

"You don't have to worry about that! I'm asking you, will you gamble, or not?"

Ye Ming seemed to have gone completely mad, his eyes filled with determination and an unquestionability that suggested no one could stop him at this point.

The wealthy and official second generation who had followed him before had long since ducked out. To begin with, their relationship with Ye Ming was nothing more than fair-weather friends, far from true friendship. When Li Yang appeared, they had already distanced themselves.

Furthermore, now that Ye Ming was driven by such an obscure young man as Qin Fang to the point of staking his life, this was no small matter.

Staking one's life!

Should he lose, did that mean he wouldn't even own his life anymore?

This was not a joke—their lives, they believed, were too precious. They would rather lose more money than wager their own lives.

Even the young man in the surveillance room was stunned by now; he had not anticipated the situation to escalate to such an unpredictable state.

He had already seen Ye Ming's Qianmen Illusion Technique; such people were basically unwelcome at the Jin Cheng Salon. Even if not blacklisted, they were not considered to be welcomed guests either, as such people posed significant challenges to the fairness of the casino.

As for Qin Fang, he was treated similarly, although Qin Fang's techniques were more sophisticated, making it hard to find any flaws. However, the casino was equally unwelcoming of such individuals; in fact, in the eyes of this young man, Qin Fang was even less welcome than Ye Ming.

But now these two people were locked in a confrontation, and the conflict had escalated once again, to the point of staking lives. Although he was not part of the Thousand Gate, he knew some of the rules of the Qianmen, including this particularly ruthless one.

"Now this is going to be fun; I want to see what you're going to do about it?"

The situation might be somewhat out of control, but he was quite pleased to watch it unfold; a deep smile appeared on his lips as he focused his attention on Qin Fang.

"Qin Fang..."

Jiang Li, who had been excited by Qin Fang's previous victory, deified him even more when Ye Ming apologized; but when Ye Ming made such a crazy demand to stake his life, Jiang Li became worried and immediately tried to persuade Qin Fang to decline such a crazy challenge.

But could Qin Fang refuse?

Of course not!

Having learned Thousand Skills, Qin Fang was considered to be one of the Thousand Gate. In fact, some members of the Qianmen were already aware of his identity, but Qianmen members are never the type to flock together; they usually just work with their long-term partners, such as the well-known Thousand Gate Eight Generals.

Because of this, Qin Fang, as a member of the Qianmen, had no choice but to accept this ancient challenge. Otherwise, what awaited him was not victory but a series of troublesome predicaments.

Breaking the rules of the Thousand Gate was akin to defying the Assassin's Alliance: dispatching characters similar to "Scavengers" to intervene, not to kill and rob, but through myriad cheating techniques that would surely make Qin Fang's life utterly miserable, and in severe cases cause ruin and family destruction...

This was the consequence of breaking the rules, so Qin Fang could not possibly go against them.

Of course, as the one challenged, Qin Fang was not on the same starting line as Ye Ming. Ye Ming might be staking his life, but that didn't mean Qin Fang had to wager his own life.

He had many options, such as offering something of equivalent value as a wager. If he won, it would be a joyous victory; but if he lost, he would simply lose those equivalent items.

It was because of such old rules for settling scores that Qin Fang would mention that confrontations between cheating experts often ended tragically.

Missing an arm or a leg were considered light consequences because the ultimate loss could be one's very life, which was truly too severe.

Although Qin Fang was aware of such rules, he truly had not anticipated them falling upon him so abruptly. It was all too sudden; he never expected Ye Ming, still so young, to insist on using such a method to determine the outcome between them.

Just as Ye Ming had said, Qin Fang couldn't refuse, with only one option left—to accept the challenge.

If he won, Ye Ming would lose his life!

If he lost, Qin Fang would forfeit his wager and pay a certain price, such as crippling his own limbs, severing the tendons in his hands or feet, and while not threatening his life, it was still a significant stake.
