Compared to the Square-Heaven Painted Halberd, Fang Xing is still more adept with the saber.
After all, his nature is determined; when in combat, he is used to wide, sweeping movements. A wild and unstoppable great saber or giant sword has always been his favorite. Moreover, that Square-Heaven Painted Halberd contains a weapon spirit, in harmony with Lü Fengxian's mind. Using that halberd in a fierce battle with Lü Fengxian, he has to be wary of unexpected tricks; its power is significantly reduced. Because of this, Fang Xing has instead set his sights on the Fierce Saber in Lü Fengxian's hands. When Lü Fengxian attempted to reclaim the Square-Heaven Painted Halberd, Fang Xing was also plotting to seize this saber.
Because of this, the two men's minds were similarly focused on different targets, which resulted in a miraculous moment in their exchange of blows as they swapped weapons.
