Adam was also powered up in that instance, and if Yang's Aura couldn't stop his attack, then Blake had no chance. They just didn't do the black Aura swiggles to signify her Aura had been broken, an error on their part.

It's a theory, Someone. Why, may I ask, are you so quick to cry "assumption" when someone takes a guess of what happened in-story. It would only be an assumption if someone tries asserting an unproven fact, speculating is fine as long as forum users don't trample others' opinions underfoot. Then it becomes a problem.

Considering he reveres Salem as a goddess, it's a given he would not have killed Ruby in that instance. Acting otherwise would contradict his reverence of her, he maybe psychotic but I doubt he's completely reckless, or Salem would've given him the boot long ago. So I'd wager he knows when to practice restraint, of course Qrow wasn't gonna take that chance hence why he moved in so quickly.
