His sword probably doesn't bypass Aura either, since Miles said that it's not "a sword thing" when explaining how Adam cut Yang's arm off. It was just that his attack was so powerful that it was too much damage for the remainder of Yang's Aura to defend against. Kerry had said that Yang had been fighting off-screen. That makes sense, considering that, while she was in a call with Blake, we heard Grimm growling and then Yang grunting like she'd been hit or something.

So, it was basically like, if Yang only had 40 points of Aura left and Adam's Semblance did 60 points of damage. Her Aura would've only been able to protect her from 40 points of that damage, leaving 20 points of damage left over to actually injure her.
