The force and solidity of that punch would have pulverized even the hardest granite into dust. A punch bearing such magnitude and sheer weight could do serious damage to Daniel's face if it connected. But to waste such a blow on thin air would have been a shame.

So, as Black's formidable punch came at him, Daniel nonchalantly snagged a hefty wooden branch from the ground and held it up in defense.

"Boom!"

The stick shattered with a dull thud, scattering splinters everywhere.

"Black, not bad with that punch! I was saving this branch for firewood and hadn't gotten around to chopping it yet. It turns out your fist is quite handy, more effective than an axe!"

Daniel cheekily picked up another branch, placed it on the ground, and goaded, "Come on, Black! With your fist heavy as a sledgehammer, give it another go – smash this branch to bits too!"

After his punch had been deflected, Black was already seething with rage, and Daniel's taunts only stoked his anger to new heights.

"Bumpkin, I swear I'll smash you into pulp!"
