Ma Nan, who was facing this sword aura directly, felt it the most. Both of them used swords as weapons, but although Wu Yu was just standing there casually, he gave Ma Nan a sense of being invincible.

His languid stance was a perfect defensive posture. Before making a move, Ma Nan would naturally plan his attack route, but the moment he took that step, Wu Yu's body would make slight adjustments, always able to block his attack with the shortest path.

Ma Nan felt as if his every move had been completely seen through. This was the kind of crushing power that could only be achieved when facing novice swordsmen. He hadn't experienced this feeling of helplessness for many years.

Ma Nan's swordsmanship has reached the level of a master. To be able to crush him in swordsmanship, what kind of unfathomable realm is this?

Wu Yu's swordsmanship is unparalleled!

Ma Nan suddenly remembered the evaluation he had heard before, and at that moment he realized that the evaluation was not undeserved.

Can I win?

This question rose irrepressibly from the depths of Ma Nan's heart.

But there's no turning back now that the project has started; Ma Nan has no way out.

Ma Nan took another step, but this time he almost fell to his knees.

It was a fear stemming from the instinct for survival, and Manan was very familiar with this pressure. It was the dragon's pressure he felt every time he faced Lord Asadron. However, this time, it was not Lord Asadron who was unleashing the dragon's might, but the human in front of him who looked just like him.

"Thump, thump, thump," those with weak wills around actually knelt down when faced with this dragon's might.

Seeing that Ma Nan had stopped walking, Wu Yu asked with a half-smile, "Want to continue?"

"I wouldn't dare." After a long silence, Ma Nan finally managed to utter this word.

No one present found this result unusual. Even before the fight began, they had already felt the terrifying pressure. Compared to the treasure that could not be forcibly taken, their own lives were clearly more important.

“Boss, you’re right to do this. This guy is terrifying. He may not have reached the seventh-tier legendary level yet, but he’s definitely one step away from it. Moreover, he must be an unparalleled genius, invincible among his peers. You’re our backbone, so we can’t take risks.” The cowardly thief also advised from the side.

"Thank you." Wu Yu nodded in satisfaction at Ma Nan's reply.

He was genuinely grateful that Ma Nan had backed down, because normally he really couldn't beat any sixth-tier professional.

Despite Wu Yu's powerful aura, it's all just for show and doesn't actually help in real combat.

Killing intent and sword aura were originally Wu Yu's own, but they were stimulated by the evil dragon, which allowed him to control them at will.

As for Dragon Might, it was a power that Wu Yu had just acquired. After being bathed in dragon blood, Wu Yu gained not only extraordinary physical qualities, but also a transformation at the level of his life.

Although the underlying principle is unclear, Wu Yu did indeed gain the ability to unleash the dragon's might.

With these three factors combined, Wu Yu truly commands a formidable aura. He doesn't know how effective it would be against Saint-level experts, but it would be absolutely perfect against those below the Saint level.

However, it's unrealistic to intimidate people with just an aura, so Wu Yu went to great lengths to create such a situation. He wanted to use his domineering presence to intimidate everyone and make them fear him. Then, he would have someone fight him one-on-one and defeat them with overwhelming force. Only then would people believe that he had the strength to crush everyone present.

Once someone decides in their heart that they are no match for Wu Yu, then under the pressure of Wu Yu's aura, no one will have the courage to make a move.

Before Ma Nan arrived, Wu Yu only wanted to fight a fourth-tier professional, but Ma Nan's appearance ruined his plan and almost forced him to release his pressure. Fortunately, the thief came out to accompany him, which allowed him to successfully suppress everyone present.

That's quite an impressive ability. In the future, when facing weaker but highly skilled opponents, I should be able to make them back down with just a glance. I've decided, let's call this move "Gaze Killer." It's a name that's both easy to understand and incredibly powerful.

"Ma Nan, what's going on here?" At this moment, the village chief slowly woke up and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Dad, things are a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you later," Ma Nan reassured him.

The village chief paid no heed. Looking around at the people, he began to shout excitedly, "Quickly! The escaped sacrificial victims are right here! Catch them quickly! As long as you offer them to Lord Abaddon, you can atone for your sins!"

No one made a move; Ma Nan simply shook his head in silence.

"Fine, fine, even you won't listen to me anymore, then I'll do it myself." The village chief scolded angrily, then a surge of fighting spirit rose from his body as he lunged at Wu Yu.

【Killing Gaze】Activated.

A terrifying pressure descended upon the old man, but the village chief showed no fear, and his speed did not falter in the slightest.

Sure enough, without the preceding setup, even a killer gaze couldn't scare this completely insane guy.

Moreover, this old man was surprisingly strong. Wu Yu didn't know exactly how strong he was, but just by looking at his speed, he knew that he was definitely stronger than himself. However, Wu Yu didn't take him seriously.

Wu Yu didn't intend to force the problem to be solved with skills. He just glanced at Ma Nan casually, as if to say, "I'll leave it to you."
