You CAN break a sword with another normal sword, it's just not easy.

the sword can be of normal length and still manage it, it just takes careful aim and timing.

Materials are an important factor in that, you want a significantly harder and heavier metal to achieve the result, preferably tungsten carbide or springsteel.

You will be able to handle street thugs no problem with a standard sword, but any criminal worth noting is going to have his aura unlocked (Roman and Neo, Emerald, Mercury, the Malachites and Junior almost guaranteed as they held their own against Yang)

One of the things I do when looking at weapons is make sure EVERYTHING is taken into account.

You want to destroy an opponents weapon?

needs to be made of the right stuff.

With aura reinforcing you don't need to worry about damaging your weapon, but even a sword not shielded by aura takes effort to destroy.

Generally, they will bend before they break, so you need to find that swords stress point and apply enough pressure, or if your strong enough and have a heavy enough blade cleave through the thinnest point.

Do not mistake this for criticism, I am supplying information to make sure the design is as effective as it can possibly be.

And I am still not trying to call the character a mary sue, so we're on the same page.

I look at every weapon through the same lens; one of effciency and logic, that is why even my most ridiculous weapons work. I take as long as I need to sort out every detail of the design.
