Firestone Hot Springs you’re not as brave as you were at the start

Orochi was not aware of how, well, life threatening his move had been. Everytime he had let go of Ying's neck she was just fine, so he thought nothing of it. Vespera didn't show any signs of surrender, so he wouldn't let go until she did. It was only a matter of time. He certainly wasn't expecting what had happened next.

She did not kneel, she yanked back. As she fell, she bought Orochi down with her. But it was fine, because now he was was in a better position then before. If he wanted to let go, he would've called her stupid. 

Vespera wasn't as dumb as she made herself look. She managed to get a hold of his neck, and he felt a sudden blow from underneath. One minute he was planted on the ground, the next he was in the air. He landed on the ground with a mighty thud.

Again, he gets up and runs towards her. Rather than grabbing onto her again, he wanted to topple her. She couldn't keep herself together forever.
