Freeze the fiend in a cube of ice... Put him inside of a deep pit that goes a full km down... Create a metallic safe around him.
But I suppose we can chalk Shisei's failure up to overconfidence on his part. He certainly had some hubris to him.

What? That's exactly what he tried to do. He tried entrapping the fiend in a sand/dirt pit. He bought time by playing defensive.
How was he supposed to expect Cantus leakage? He was being attacked without any conscious thought behind it.
The problem isn't just that Shisei can't kill him. He can't harm the fiend in any way, which means incapacitating or knocking him unconscious is out of the question as well. Remember that the temple elder triggered Saki's death feedback simply by stabbing himself. The mechanism kicks in well before they cross the line.
