It has to be a black energy effect. But why it knocks her out, when it doesn't other people - no idea!
Oh! Ha! This made me realise that I've always thought (from second viewing onwards) that Zhu Hong was faking unconsciousness (I give her mental kudos every time I watch Shen Wei checking her vitals and she doesn't react). Like, I've been assuming that the shot barely grazing her made her realise what was going on, so she played along to help maintain ZYL's cover.
If she's literally unconscious (which I now realise seems Very Likely), then she has even more license to punch ZYL forever for what he did! She should be much crosser than SW!
