How the fight goes

What he does

He wields the Tianxuan Bronze Sword and moves quickly.

Game8 stresses that he blocks often and has a parry stance.

Phases

No guide describes separate phases, so we do not claim any.

How to beat Master Bi Yuan

• Stop attacking when he blocks. Game8 says he rewards restraint: he blocks your hits, then counters once you keep swinging.
• Never hit into his parry stance. Game8 says it parries you completely and leaves you open; you can still block or dodge the counter in the short window afterwards.
• Fight at close-to-mid range. Fextralife says staying far away makes him use blade waves and the energy blast, which travel fast; block the waves if you cannot close in.
• Parry the vertical slash. Game8 says it has a clear wind-up pose before the blue glint, which sets up a Ghoststep counter. Fextralife marks the second cut of his charged overhead string as blue, and says you can block the first slash of his two-slash string and parry the second.
• Dodge the leaping slash right after the red glint. Game8 calls it his unblockable move and the only one where he attacks after jumping; Fextralife marks his wide-stance leap as red as well.
• Sidestep the straight sword slashes and the crouched energy thrust, then counter (Fextralife).
