The Northern person fighting Wu Xuesong paused his movements, forcing Wu Xuesong to halt his own attack as well. Distracted by the earlier cries of agony, they both turned their heads toward Su Yan.
What they saw was the person who had been tormenting the assassin now being counter-attacked by Su Yan. Whatever the man had done to the assassin, Su Yan was now inflicting upon him in kind.

Unable to scream, the man’s face was twisted in a savage grimace, his eyes filled with absolute pain and terror.
Wu Xuesong felt a jolt in his chest. He stared intently at Su Yan, his eyes full of inquiry.
