The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 731

Black believed his twin-fisted attack was sure to be successful. Even if the country boy dodged the upper punch, there was no escaping the blow aimed lower. He was certain he'd be the end of Daniel.

"You’re not getting out of this one!" he thought, ready to make Daniel regret ever crossing him.

As Black's fists barreled toward him, Daniel let out a derisive chuckle. "Heh!"

Swiftly sidestepping, Daniel moved behind Black and gave a slight push against his back. This time, Black didn't fall; instead, he shot forward like a cannonball, directly toward a huge boulder.

"Boom!" The sound, loud enough to split mountains, reverberated as Black's fists buried themselves deep into the rock.

Black let out a ghastly scream, a mix of ghostly cries and wolf howls. While wailing miserably, he tried to extract his fists embedded in the massive stone. Yet, the boulder gripped his hands tightly, like an expansion bolt; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pull free.

Daniel walked up to him, patted Black on the shoulder, and asked with a grin, "Hey, Black, what’s the deal here? You've punched both hands into this rock? What are you, doing a performance act or something? Nice work."

Black, his eyes bulging with rage, roared, "You sneak-attacked me, you country bumpkin?"

"Sneak attack? When did I? What did I do to you? I did nothing! You came at me with both fists swinging, one at my chest and another aiming for my groin. Did you think you'd burst it?"
