Quick answer
His opening shield makes ordinary pressure inefficient.

Reach the encounter
Follow Pangzhen’s Back Street Archway stairs to the top.
Read the dangerous sequence
His opening shield makes ordinary pressure inefficient. Read and defend the incoming attacks to deplete it, then execute and attack during the break. Repeat when the shield returns. Victory provides Greedy Wolf for a later lifesteal setup; the reward does not remove the need to handle red and dark attacks safely.
