In your first example, no. It's just a stylistic choice. 'Improving' is a good choice in your first example because the nicely conveys ongoing improvement.

In your second example though, it's a complete disaster. You've changed the meaning entirely. "I killed that person for protecting you" sounds like the first person killed someone for the reason that they protected the second person.
