Saraf indeed far surpasses Nero in strength, self-healing ability, and defense power, even stronger than Pei Yan now. However, compared to the two who are more balanced in all aspects, speed is Saraf's shortcoming, and this flaw was probed during Pei Yan's recent battle with him.
Even Pei Yan cannot simultaneously reach the extreme of both strength and speed perfectly. While conducting ultra-fast maneuvers to attack Saraf, the force of each strike he delivers was even inferior to the punch he initially exchanged with Saraf. Yet, when Pei Yan switched from heavy hammer swings to smaller, scattered strikes, small wounds started blossoming all over Saraf's body. For now, these injuries might not mean much to Saraf, but if they continue accumulating till quantity triggers quality change, when ants start to knock down elephants, that's when Saraf collapses.
