At that point the opponent tries to recover but something strange happens. They can't get balance and either sent flying or a limb is split. This is the ideal. Very yin & I'd say relies on a crazy level of technique, body awareness and training.
To lead your opponent into the emptiness is a very important principle used in SC. This is how the wheeling step is used for. You spin yourself away from your opponent's incoming path, give him all the space that he will need, and take advantage on his respond.
