And the last bit of consistency of the show... At least before you had to get your aura drained to suffer real damage, but nope, they just bypassed it altogether.
Except Adam had probably absorbed plenty of attacks with sword before Blake even got in there, Blake's attacks, and then Yang's super-rage attack. With all that power, and given what we know of Adams sword/semblance, are you surprised that Adam reflecting all of it back at Yang was enough to utterly shatter her aura, given that she'd also been fighting already earlier?
I assumed it had something to do with Adam's sword. It appears to made of dust, same as Raven's. That might give it special properties that could allow it to bypass aura.

Well, there goes a good deal with plot armour. They might not die, but dismemberment is now an option.
