Mystic Nine Episode 26

Final showdown with Hatoyama

This episode had an excellent battle where we finally get some answers. Qi figured out that 6 species could handle the black sand and mutate. All these combined materials Changsheng made into pills that mutated humans. The Otherworld patriarch was willing to sacrifice cities of people to accomplish his methods. This was foiled by the woman with the lustrous hair. She saw the fallacy of his methods and that it wasn’t magic but the mutations and distorted memories that made it seem supernatural. She wrote out how to destroy it all for good after consuming all the remaining pills. XiaoYu was given the job to get Qi to safety. Wu and Huo were tk find the fruit if the morning glory and Zhang was to take on Hatoyama so that he would not be the first to get to the sand. Huo and Wu saw what had happened with the failed method attempt and found the lady’s message. After burning her hair the area collapsed and they found themselves in the river where they discovered Qi and XiaoYu. One other reveal while underground was Zhang;s orders from the ministry of war to destroy the mystic nine. Underground Zhang was taking in the soldiers that can’t die and was happily surprised when unit 401 came to assist. Here there was much sacrifice as Zhang shared how to kill them for good by getting the tendons and back of neck stabs. They used grenades and other explosives to take them out yelling their names for Zhang to remember. When his ring activated, the tattoo kicked out the sand in his system and let him kill off the enemy troops. He knew Wu and Huo had successfully purged the fruit of the flower when the sand started disappearing and Hatoyama’s men dropped like flies. Perfect time to take Hatoyama out for good. He realized no sand in his little gold vial as he clicked away with no results. Zhang showed him another use for it.😝👏🏻 He then did a beautiful finishing move that annihilated the Japanese plan to use the sun-moon sand. On riverbank Wu and XiaoYu wanted to go rescue Zhang but Qi said Zhang gave a military order that none should return to look for him. After an explosion they lost hope but saw an exhausted Zhang being assisted by the remnant of unit 401 that still lived. This episode gave us a lot of answers and a satisfying ending to Hatoyama and his elite soldiers. The threat of the sand has been eliminated at its source with no pills left to mutate humans or ability to feed the tower to continue the cycle. The tower and Japanese have been defeated and it just remains to be seen if Zhang will follow his military order concerning the mystic nine. I am hoping there is a way to fake their deaths and have them disappear to wherever they choose to go.
