"Yes... not bad at all," Yang Qing softly muttered, a smile of appreciation warming his face as he gently pulled Zheng Hu's unconscious body toward the green flame tree.
Before the fight, he had expected to use maybe 30% of his strength at most, and he was well on his way to doing just that—until that last move by Zheng Hu forced him to alter his plans.
The Central Cardinal Path of the Yellow Dragon Monarch was the most powerful move in Zheng Hu's arsenal, a skill Yang Qing didn't know he had mastered, until today. Well, not fully mastered. Yang Qing could still see numerous flaws within it which he easily exploited to dissolve the attack at the end.
Still, the level Zheng Hu displayed proved he had at least grasped its essence. Removing the flaws was just a matter of time and experience.
