"crack?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked in the direction pointed by the member of the Demon Cult.

Sure enough, a crack appeared on a statue on the edge of the square.

"Why are there cracks on these statues? I didn't seem to see any cracks on these statues just now."

Tsukishima Qianxue frowned slightly. With the memory of a strong master, there was basically no chance of misremembering.

"Whispering God, what are the origins of these statues?" Ye Chen looked at the Whispering God beside him.

"These statues should be the guards of the temple. Each temple of the gods has its own dedicated guard members."

Whispering Shikigami explained: "But this Amaterasu Temple was built after Shikigami was sealed, so I don't know much about this temple."

Ye Chen nodded and looked carefully at the surrounding statues.

At this moment, there was another click sound.

The moment everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

A crack once again appeared on a statue not far away.

"I took a look at this statue just now. There were no cracks on it. The cracks were just opened."

An elder protecting the law next to him said with certainty.

"The statue actually cracked on its own?" The Demonic God frowned, his expression a little gloomy.

In a place like Amaterasu Temple, any coincidence is definitely not a coincidence.

Since there is a restraining force around the square that blocks the shikigami, it is very likely that Amaterasu has left some arrangements in the square.

"These statues can't be alive."

Tsukishima Chiyuki hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke.

When everyone heard this, their pupils suddenly shrank.

"How is this possible? Even a strong demigod cannot live for such a long time, unless the creatures in these statues have the blood of a shikigami."

One of the guardian elders said categorically.

Nowadays, except for the vampires in the West, it is impossible for a strong person to live for hundreds of years.

Even the peak demigods only have a lifespan of three to four hundred years at most, which requires some techniques or panaceas that can extend their lifespan.

What's more, these statues are enclosed in this square. Even if there are living creatures in them, they can't even absorb spiritual energy due to the isolation of the sculptures outside. How can they maintain their lives for nearly a thousand years?

Unless the creatures in the statue contain some special bloodline, only beings like shikigami can have a long life.

But if the statues are kept in this state, for hundreds of years, the strength of the beings in these statues will inevitably weaken to the extreme.

"There is no vitality in these statues. If they were real creatures, it would be impossible for them to have no vitality at all."

Whispering Shishen narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"No matter what the condition of these statues is, but now it seems that there is something wrong with these statues."

The Demonic God snorted lightly, with a hint of evil on his face: "What's wrong with these statues? You'll know if you try them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon God walked directly to a statue on the side, then raised his right hand and punched the statue.

The Demon God didn't hold back too much with his punch, and used [-]% of his strength.

The powerful punch tore apart the surrounding air, making a huge whistling sound and hitting the statue directly.

Boom!

The statue trembled slightly, but it was not blown away by the Demon God's punch. It only accelerated the cracking on the surface of the statue.

Cracks like spider webs spread rapidly to the surroundings along the center of the Demon God's fist.

"How is this possible?" Everyone raised their eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

No one has any doubts about the strength of the Heavenly Demon God. Although he is not the top among shikigami, he is still as powerful as a demigod.

With his punch, even a top-level master would be seriously injured, let alone a statue.

No matter how heavy the statue was, it would not be able to survive a punch from the Demon God and still stand in place.

"interesting."

The Demon God didn't believe in evil, so he punched the statue again.

There was a click, and this time the statue remained unmoved, but the cracks on it had obviously increased.

A palm-sized fragment detached from the statue and fell to the ground.

The pitch-black metal-like armor appeared in everyone's sight.

"What a solid body."

The Demon God's expression changed slightly.

Several consecutive punches failed to penetrate the statue, which made the Demon God a little unbelievable.

The hardness of these statues is comparable to the physical bodies of powerful demigods.

Whoa!

As if the attack from the Demon God stimulated the statue's recovery speed, a large amount of gravel fell from the statue to the ground.

Soon, a warrior holding a long sword and wearing black armor appeared in everyone's sight.

A sinister aura slowly emanated from the black guard's body.

The Demon God narrowed his eyes and inexplicably felt a sharp evil aura.

At this moment, the guard wearing black armor opened his eyes and looked at the Demon God with indifferent eyes.

"Trespassing to the temple will be punished without mercy!"

A machine-like sound came from the guard's mouth, and it was bone-chilling.

"Is there really something in this statue?"

There was a look of astonishment on the face of the Demon God. Before he could ask, the guard directly waved the long knife in his hand and slashed at the Demon God.

The sharp sword energy soared into the sky and struck directly at the Demon God's head.

This sword was fast and cruel, obviously intending to kill the Demon God directly.

"Dare you take action against me?" The Demonic God snorted coldly, black mist surged around him, and he directly struck the knife with his palm.

The powerful palm prints and the sharp sword energy collided, and a powerful roar broke out.

A large amount of energy burst out, bombarding the guards and the Demon God.

The Demonic God took advantage of this strength and retreated slightly.

On the other hand, the guard wearing black armor stood still and did not move at all. All the energy was absorbed by the armor on his body.

"What is this?" Everyone looked at the black-clothed guard as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They didn't expect that the statue in the square was really alive.

"It's not a living thing, it should be something like a puppet, and it's a top-notch existence."

Ye Chen looked at the guard carefully and recognized its origin at a glance.

"Puppet?" When everyone heard this, their faces looked a little ugly.

At this moment, dense clicking sounds came from the square.

Cracks appeared on each statue, and the puppet guards inside seemed to be trying to escape.
