This effect, of course, could not be achieved by Sandevistan.
It was only by relying on the extreme speed bonus from the Project: Yasuo cyberware that this effect could be achieved.
In terms of speed alone, in the Project universe, there is almost nothing that can compete with Yasuo.
The speed of Xiao Tian and Takemura when activating Sandevistan was no different from being stationary in front of David, who had the Yasuo operating system fully activated.
And David could finally say this sentence and show off in front of people who had Sandevistan.
When David first obtained Sandevistan, he thought his speed was unmatched, but he didn't expect to be severely taught a lesson by Luoqi.
He thought the Sandevistan he installed was too weak, not powerful enough.
But later, through mission after mission, he discovered that it wasn't his Sandevistan that was lacking at all, but that Luoqi's cyberware was too abnormal.
And now, he finally got the cyberware he desired and could fully display his abilities in front of others.
The feeling that top Arasaka bodyguards like Xiao Tian and Takemura couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes excited him immensely.
"This guy also has Sandevistan, and it's even more advanced than ours..."
Takemura looked at the constantly flickering and changing young man before him and murmured.
But after saying this, even he couldn't help but doubt what terrible truth he was speaking.
The strongest and best-performing Sandevistan developed by Arasaka was already installed on them.
But their performance was crushed by the young man in front of them.
If this was true, he couldn't even imagine how terrifying the manufacturer of the cyberware on this person was.
"Are you still going to make useless attempts? I told you, don't even think about taking her from me. Give up."
The effect of Xiao Tian and Takemura's Sandevistan had ended, and David once again stood in front of them, still completely unharmed.
"You only know how to hide and dodge using Sandevistan, you have no samurai spirit at all!"
Seeing the confident expression on David's face, Xiao Tian was furious. He immediately raised his Mantis Blades and charged towards David without hesitation.
But this time, David did not dodge as before. Instead, he allowed Xiao Tian's blade, which emitted a crimson light, to cut into him.
There was no blood as imagined, nor the feeling of the blade slicing through flesh and blood with no resistance as imagined.
Instead, there was a crisp sound like metal colliding.
Xiao Tian's Mantis Blades cut into David's shoulder, only slicing through the paper-thin synthetic skin.
And beneath the skin was subcutaneous armor emitting a metallic glow.
Xiao Tian's blades felt unprecedented resistance, preventing them from advancing even an inch.
"Perhaps you should feel lucky that I was just dodging. Otherwise, I can't imagine how you would defeat me."
David grinned, full of spirit.
If he had subcutaneous armor made of vibranium and the Project operating system, and he wasn't arrogant, then he would have truly lived in vain.
You must know that not long ago, he was just a student studying at Arasaka Academy, but now he was equipped with the most advanced cyberware, stepping on the strongest people in the entire Night City.
Anyone else in his place would only be more arrogant than him.
After withstanding a fatal slash from Xiao Tian, David didn't continue to let Xiao Tian tickle him. Instead, he raised his left hand.
The projectile launcher cyberware installed on his arm activated and fired. In the instant before Xiao Tian could react, he took a close-range blast head-on.
Xiao Tian immediately flew backward.
And splattering with him were Xiao Tian's burnt flesh and damaged, fragmented cyberware.
With just one shot, David blew half of Xiao Tian's body to smithereens.
"Xiao Tian!" Takemura exclaimed, no longer caring about David or Hua Zi.
He quickly ran to Xiao Tian's side to check his condition.
"Xiao Tian, hold on, I'll call for rescue."
As Xiao Tian's teacher, Takemura was very concerned about Xiao Tian. He didn't want Xiao Tian to die like this.
Seeing this, David merely retracted the projectile cyberware on his left hand, grabbed his cyberware wrist with his right hand and rotated it, then slowly approached the two.
"We surrender, don't hurt him anymore. You said you wouldn't make things difficult for us as long as we didn't take Hua Zi."
Takemura watched David approach and quickly surrendered.
He already understood that he was no match for the young man in front of him at all, and continued struggle would only lead to death at his hands.
But facing Takemura's retreat, David didn't stop his steps at all.
They had already missed their chance to escape.
If Xiao Tian and the other had given up on escaping from the start, they might have actually saved their lives.
But just now, David contacted Lisandra and asked how to deal with the two.
And after Lisandra relayed David's findings to Luoqi, Luoqi's answer was to kill these two.
Takemura and Xiao Tian, one was Hua Zi's bodyguard, and the other was Saburo's bodyguard. They were originally hostile to Ascension Technology and Arasaka Yorinobu.
Especially Takemura, his loyalty to Arasaka Saburo meant he could absolutely not be swayed or incorporated into the new Arasaka Corporation.
Keeping him would only cause trouble.
Perhaps in the future, Takemura would appear in a squad attacking Ascension Technology and Arasaka.
Luoqi did not have the habit of being merciful to enemies. Eliminating these two was an inevitable decision.
And this, this destined the two to fall at David's hands.
As David got closer to the two, Takemura also became nervous, preparing for a desperate counterattack.
Just then, a female voice suddenly came from behind David.
"Don't hurt them, I will stay here obediently as Yorinobu wishes."
Hua Zi, who had been staying in the room, stepped out at this moment.
The commotion from the battle just now was not small, so she naturally saw everything.
She also didn't expect that the people from Ascension Technology would suddenly intervene, side with Arasaka Yorinobu, and even dispatch such a terrifying person that even Xiao Tian and Takemura couldn't defeat him.
Knowing that under David's control, she had no possibility of going to Arasaka Tower, she voluntarily stepped forward to try and save Xiao Tian and Takemura.
David looked at the two, one in front and one behind, talking back and forth, feeling a bit of a headache.
"Enough, I'm not interested in your nonsense here. Whether you live or die, you can't decide. If I want to kill, you can't stop me."
David ignored Arasaka Hanako and mercilessly raised his arm. The projectile launcher popped out, aiming at the dying Xiao Tian on the ground.
"Stop!" Arasaka Hanako's emotions could no longer remain calm when she saw David ignoring her.
David slowly turned his head and glanced at Arasaka Hanako behind him.
"Put down your weapon first, I will contact Arasaka Yorinobu and plead with him. He will make you stop then," Hua Zi took a deep breath and said.
