Yang and Blake have more flexible morals and personal reasons to kill Adam, but if you look it doesn't seem either of them really went for the kill at the end even when he essentially left them no choice. There were wounds serious enough that they would likely lead to death if untreated, yet neither would be unavoidably fatal wounds.

None of them went to Beacon because they ever intended to be killing other people. That is part of the problem with the comments in this thread. It has the heroes behaving far more brutally than we have seen. At least with Salem that is possible, but she isn't likely to kill Cinder any time soon due to the Beacon vault still needing to be located, which is probably going to be near the end of the story.
