He didn't exactly chase after Blake when she ran out of the room carrying Yang, despite being more than able to catch up to her as she was weighed down by Yang's unconcious body. If he wanted to kill Yang outright, he could have.

Instead, he seems to be going for a more psychological approach - 'this is how easy it would be for me to kill your friends and family'. Yet in his later interactions with Blake in that scene, he was perfectly willing to kill her, despite wanting to make her suffer. Presumably he would not have shown Yang any different intentions. He had said "I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love." Destroying is different from damaging, which was what he did to Yang, at least, in the literal sense. Emotional destruction? Well, you got me there.
