There are a few things that I believe Tset has over Mikage.

Mibu was stated to know literally everything there was to know about swordfighting and his entire combat style revolves around weaponizing his killing intent. He also considered the expedition as a whole merely a chance to test himself. Finally, he was stated to be able to cut anything even without his Distortion, with only Taikyoku being immune to this.

Sasaki is basically self-evident, but has some more notable stuff. He's vastly superior to Red Hare, who is a master of every combat style that exists and can even engage in aerial or underwater combat despite being a horse, and Li Shuwen, who, as a 170 year old human, matched Ref Hare and nearly killed him. He also scales above people who can reach into the realm of gods and Buddhas through their martial ability. Primarily, his skill is stated to be literally infinite and that it transcends both human and divine possibility entirely. Even just Tsubame Gaeshi is impressive, as it replicates True Magic, which taps into the ppeer of The Root/Akasha, through sword skill alone.
