"Are you seeking death, or do you want to get your veins green like your mother?" the man said, grinning heavily, then kicked the raised sand onto Kai.
Kai threw his right arm over his eyes, covering them, but the moment the sand touched his elbow a sharp pain gushed through his waist, and when he tilted his head slightly he saw the man pulling back his left leg.
Without hesitation, Kai moved, ducking under the man and sliding the sharp edge of the dagger on the man's leg, which ignited sparks after the blade screeched on the metal outfit covering the man's leg. The moment he saw the man's back uncovered he moved, sliding and skipping on the ground, but when he neared the man, the man raised a leg, used the foot and slammed it on Kai's head, pinning him to the dirt and pressing hard on it.
