Either way we've seen Blake survived a stab to the guy with an Aura-Cutting Katanna and she was SCREAMING Adam's sword isn't aura cutting. We've been told this by Miles and Kerry before.

The reason Adam's sword cut through Yang's arm despite her having aura left is because he is super strong. She wasn't on full aura as she'd been fighting on her way through the school, and Adam's attack was strong enough to reduce her aura to 0 and keep going.

In gameplay terms, Yang had 40 Aura left. Adam's attack did 60 damage. 40 - 60 = -20, so the extra 20 damage left over made the attack continue through her arm.
