Little Alford bit off the cigarette with his steel teeth, his hair standing on end. He swung his fist behind him, staggering a couple of steps before lunging into empty space; to his surprise, there was no one behind him.
Bang~
The crackling sound of flames burning the air was particularly grating. Little Alford turned around in alarm and saw the man with the red bandana sitting on the ground, coughing uncontrollably.
The bald man's massive body stood rigidly in place, his head scorched by black flames until only a charred stub remained, creating a stark contrast with his exaggerated physique. Before Little Alford could react, the Owl Kiss Dagger sliced neatly at the base of the neck, and amidst a spray of blood, the body was decapitated.
The bitten-off cigarette butt only now hit the ground, sparking a few embers, but was immediately stomped out by Cha Xiaodao.
He looked down at the man with the red bandana and said, "You alright?"
The man gripped his neck and feebly nodded.
