Adam actually did not cut through Yang's Aura. He simply hit her hard enough to reduce it to 0, especially since she wasn't at 100% due to fighting off-screen.

Basically, his attack was so strong that the amount of Aura she had left was only able to block some of the damage before breaking, and the rest of the damage cut her arm off.

I'll quote Miles and Kerry:

Miles: The Aura is, y'know it's like, we establish in the [...] tournament fights that, like... Yeah, every hit can drop it and some hits can break it. It just so happens that Adam's attack was so badass that, in one hit, it managed to break it and do damage all at once, it was so powerful.

Kerry: Yang had also been fighting off-screen.

Miles: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that girl, that girl had been through some things! It's not necessarily a sword thing, more just like "Oh, he's strong! Oh, he's a scary man!"
