    His entire body reeked out with a vibe that forbids anyone from nearing him.

    Edit: perhaps use negative vibe

    Think it's supposed to be 生人勿近? Probably the same meaning. Roughly translates to "aloofness/detached".

    So maybe ...
    <His/Her> entire body language was projecting a strong sense of aloofness, rejecting everyone around him/her.

    Guess how it's translated depends on context and previous translated work.

    EDIT: The previous comment for the latter half of the sentence sounds good.
    "forbid anyone from nearing him"

    If this is a comment for my use of the word reek, reek can also mean a strong expression of a quality.

    Smell can be used as a term of expression, take for e.g.
    Something that stinks to high heaven has not merely a local stench but a reek powerful enough to rise into the sky. The phrase is properly used to characterize enormously corrupt practices; or, with exaggerated indignation, it's applied to lesser offenses

    reek

    verb
    reeked; reeking; reeks
    Definition of reek (Entry 2 of 2)

    intransitive verb

    1: to emit smoke or vapor
    2a: to give off or become permeated with a strong or offensive odor a room reeking of incense (your explanation of reek)
    b: to give a strong impression of some constituent quality or feature (my way of using that word.)

    That word can also mean what you mean or what I mean hehe

    Well we can just use emitted or give off a negative vibe :)
