Taking advantage of a momentary lull while trading blows with Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong, Ouyang Qian once again retrieved a second-tier Mortal Artifact, a Phoenix-Wing Gilded Halberd, from his storage bag. Still employing the maximum power of the twelfth form, he launched a sneak attack, slashing toward Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong. At the critical moment, Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong instantly withdrew a second-tier Mortal Artifact, a fourth-generation Enemy-Slaying Saber, from the Star Domain Cauldron. He executed the eighth form of the Overlord Saber Technique, "Overlord Soars to the Sky," and completely blocked Ouyang Qian's strike.
Although this blow caused Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong no small amount of damage, he knew that his Star Domain physique would allow him to recover quickly. However, he realized that his previous mindset of underestimating the enemy was unacceptable. The adage "if the great serpent is not killed, it will surely cause disaster" echoed vividly in Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong’s mind.
Seemingly emboldened by his attempted sneak attack, Ouyang Qian fought on like a dying flame, brandishing the Phoenix-Wing Gilded Halberd to engage in a chaotic melee with Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong once more. Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong continued to use the Overlord Saber Technique, though he was gradually evolving it into the improved version he had deduced.
